So from this you might interpret that I may be a smoker and I am, thus I have a strong smoky opinion of how BBQ should be cooked. If you read a review and they rave about how “the meat just falls off the bone” like that’s a good thing…i’ll suggest it would be similar to them reviewing a great steakhouse and saying “they overcooked my medium rare prime rib to brown, dry, well done…but it was falling off the bone!…” In BBQ competitions commonly shown on Food or Travel Networks will show how the bite is and that some textures remains to allow chewing the meat off the bone. I’m not being a snob, this is basic stuff in most contemporary cookbooks on the topic. Smokin D’z BBQ has made the move from the old Cave Neck location with aplomb and made that corner of the Hopkins Farm Creamery parkin

★★★★☆ 4.0 Lenny Archambeault · May 2023

We went on Sunday for our 1st time. Loved the atmosphere, and they were very busy as the line forming was constant. The food smelled amazing and you could tell everything was fresh and juicy. The only odd thing, is that as juicy as the chicken and pork were, it just had no taste at all. Thankfully they're BBQ sauce is out of this world and extremely flavorful. The baked beans were deeeelicious but the cornbread was our least favorite. It was definitely moist but lacked that sweet taste that you expect from corn bread. It had more of a smoky burnt flavor to it. We will definitely be back to try the ribs and I'll probably get another pork sandwich but will get extra sauce so I can cover the pork!

Passed this a few times and it smelt amazing! Finally stoped and it was the best bbq you will get anywhere in the area. The ribs were just so amazing. Fell off the bones! The flavor was amazing!

Hubby and I have been wanting to check this place out for years and thankfully the stars finally aligned a couple of weeks ago when we were in the area. We stopped by a little after lunch time and got 1/2 rack of ribs to share, baked beans, cole slaw, corn bread and a hot dog for our golden retriever. The 1/2 rack of ribs was colossal and felt like it weighed a couple of pounds - hubby and I could barely finish 1/2 of them. I usually am not a big fan of dry rubs but Smokin D'z changed all that in one bite, I did get a couple of their wet sauces for dipping and both were delicious, my favorite was the spicier one though. All of the sides were absolutely amazing and the corn bread was warm and moist. Hubby snuck a bite of our pup's hot dog and both agreed it was the bomb. The sweet tea

★★★★★ 5.0 Bob Parker · Jun 2025

This place is awesome with killer smoked chicken, but even better is the ribs are fall off the bone and thick meat that is so tender. Their sauces are great too and their sides are perfect, with a fantastic cornbread and beans too, we are quite impressed Please visit this place. They’re great people and the food speaks for itself….
