★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gelly Rivas · Sep 2025

Disappointed with the ribs, literally had to rip them off with my teeth, out of 6 bones I only ate 2! they do not fall off the bone. I wasn’t expecting this and the taste of the charcoal is super heavy. The ribs were not seasoned smh ..The string beans and Mac & cheese were good.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Keith Hilton · Jan 2026

Im from Texas so I love good BBQ, bit I should have left when I pulled up and saw someone put what appeared to be a frozen slab with no seasoning on the pit. But I decided to give them a chance. So I ordered the catfish platter with mac and cheese and greens and a rib sandwich. I should have followed my first mind. Ribs weren't pull the bone out tender and smoked. Tasted more like meat on a grill. The greens weren't seasoned. The only savoir was the catfish and Mac and cheese. The catfish needed a little more seasoning but wasn't bad. The Mac and cheese was hot, cheesy and on point. So if I want good BBQ I'll smoke it myself...

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Keonna G · Apr 2025

I really wanted to enjoy my meal from Smokeshack Carry Outs, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to my expectations. I ordered the beef ribs, cabbage, and baked beans, thinking I was in for a hearty, flavorful plate of comfort food—but I was left disappointed. The beef ribs were okay in texture, but they didn’t have the rich, smoky flavor I was hoping for. The barbecue sauce was especially off-putting—it had an extremely strong vinegar taste that overwhelmed everything else. Instead of enhancing the meat, it masked any natural flavor the ribs may have had. The baked beans tasted undercooked, both in texture and flavor. They were firm and lacking that slow-cooked, savory-sweet richness you expect from a good side of beans. It honestly felt like they were rushed or not cooked all the way

I wanted to try this place for a while and on a whim one cold rainy day I finally did. Best decision ever because, no lie…the ribs tasted like a warm hug from my family down south. They were tender and seasoned to perfection. The greens and Mac were tasty too so I will definitely be back.

I must have passed this place a handful of times and finally stopped in recently to try their half chicken with Mac & cheese and their candied yams and a side of BBQ sauce. The food is so delicious! The chicken falls off the bones, They were very busy and the line moved exceptionally quick! Definitely would recommend trying this place if you are in the area. Very reasonable prices.
