★★★☆☆ 3.0 Kimberly Kurotori · Oct 2025

Have been a few times and have always had an amazing experience. This time unfortunately was pretty disappointing. The service, including today, was 5 stars, however a few aspects were highly disappointing. 1. The sweet potato fries and fried fish were DARK and burned. I'm actually surprised they were okay serving it. 2. There was no kids menus, so I looked online (no problem) - bill came and kids meals were $8 when online it's $7 3. The buttered pasta kids meal was horrible. Zero salt and was maybe 1 cup of pasta. Not sure if this was because they knew it was for a 1 year old, but it was NOT anywhere near worth $8! I feel totally ripped off. Not sure we'll give this place another shot since it the quality to price just isn't there anymore.

★★★★★ 5.0 Stoney Meagher · Jul 2025

Had an incredible time at Smokey Oaks Tavern. Every dish and drink we tried was absolutely delicious, and the quality is top-notch. What really made the experience special was the hospitality—the owner, Steve, went out of his way to make us feel welcome. This place truly deserves all the praise it gets!

Smokey Oaks Tavern did not disappoint! The buffalo chicken sandwich was AMAZING perfectly crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of heat. Hands down one of the best buffalo chicken sandwiches I’ve had. Great atmosphere, friendly service, and seriously good food. We’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu. Highly recommend!

This restaurant is not bad. I went there with my team, and they all liked it, but I was so happy. The service is really good, the restaurant is not too loud, and the food is okay, not as good as I expected. We reserved ahead of time, so there was no wait. I personally ordered the BBQ set and it was way too much for me since I my stomach was somewhat filled from the appetizer, wouldn't recommend order that if you already ordered appetizer.
