Smohk RVA BBQ

A Richmond gem, nestled in the cities most unique location in the heart of Scott’s Addition for over eight years. If you know, you know. Upon entering you are greeted by the owner Roby who will happily walk you through the menu. Shoe stoppers in this man’s humble opinion: pulled pork👌, the ribs literally dripping and melt off the bone, New Brunswick Stew, and collards done right! Do yourself a favor, skip the line and get some true blue BBQ at Smohk.

We were visiting from Ontario, Canada and decided to try this place. We were greeted by a friendly server who helped us order our meal. The brisket, pulled pork sandwich, beans and Mac n cheese were all so good! Another customer told us how he discovered this place last week and this was already his third time there. Little hole in the wall place with absolutely delicious food

Independent BBQ places, which also have the best food, are usually hard to find and are supported by loyal fans. Smohk is tucked away; go to the side door next to the big smoker, and order your food not ten feet from the smoker door. The pit master will answer any questions and then serve up the tenderest brisket or the most delicious pork belly. Dine inside where it is clean and cozy or sit outside under the umbrellas. Smohk's neighbors(a brewery) also have outside dining so it can be hopping. The Brunswick stew is award winning and delicious but don't let take away from the BBQ. Search out Smohk.

Tried this place for the first time, had a great time! There’s another BBQ Spot down the street that was PACKED, line out the door. We hit this spot because we didn’t want to wait, and honestly this place was so good! Outdoor seating awesome, and they have indoor seating as well. Watch the step down as you enter the restaurant. Brisket and Pulled Pork were delicious, flavor was there. Choose your own sauce for each type of meat. Only note would be that I wish the Platter (1 meat, 2 side dishes) would also come with a drink. Other than that, great price, good flavor, and an awesome spot in RVA!

The owner was beyond friendly and offered a lot of great suggestions. I really enjoyed the ribs and sweet potatoes. The food was priced very well, and the serving sizes were big. The food also came out quickly and was delicious. Try the hot bbq sauce, was really good.
