Delicious food! Brisket was by far my favorite, but everything i tried on the menu was good! & very fair prices for the portion you get. Which is very rare these days. Definitely a great spot to check out. Highly recommend 😋 (my dog also approved)

My first American BBQ experience was a b this place on my holiday to bethel. It was unreal, I got the chicken in the bone, and the ribs, both were amazing. Was served with lovely cornbread, j got beans and coleslaw. Really recommend going here, I had a taste of my friends brisket which tasted unbelievable, I think I’ll get that next time I visit bethel. 10/10 highly recommend

#1 favorite roadside meal I’ve EVER had. The BBQ “Sundae” (pulled pork, cornbread, beans, pickles etc for just $11) makes me wish I could hover-craft back there right now—just how do you guys do this?!? AMAZING food that is totally worth any wait…yep, at prime-time I had my doubts; but henceforth I’ll sit at those grassy green picnic tables with ecstatic anticipation. Love you so, Smokin’!

Went at 7 on a Sunday first time vistor. Driven by it but as a weekday skiier dozens of times but it's never open. Went for my first time and was impressed. A lot of food in the 2 meat plate, pulled pork and brisket too much to eat so I ate like a king with a meaty breakfast. Spicey bbq sauce was excellent. Beans were end of day, and dry but man were they good, excellent rich stewed flavor! I think the cornbread could have used a little more salt tho, my only complaint.

I would first like to start off by saying that the service was fast and friendly and I wasn't questioned when I asked for a refund. for that I appreciate but moreover was probably for the fact that they didn't want other customers hearing why. I'm New England born and raised, not very picky, especially when it comes to barbecue as it's not exactly a perfected thing in New England and I don't have extensive experience eating the best of the best. I was extremely hungry and so badly wanted to like this place! I waited a long time in a very cold long line. But sadly was disappointed. This place Has the potential to be good but they need to learn how to implement flavor. The meat was pull apart tender but Smoke should not the only flavor, sadly their flavor department is lacking.
