The Smoking Apple

There's a variety of yummy sandwiches and meets with cornbread was delicious and ice cream and brownie was great. Lovely the yummy chicken. Enjoyed the barbecue sauces very much. Would like to see a better atmosphere as they had paint chipping and and other things that distracted from the overall experience. Our has been using smoking Apple to cater food for company parties for a couple of years now and we enjoy it every time.

Fantastic all around. Flavor, yes. Meats, yes, yes. Did not disappoint. Clever use of the rolls y’all. Variety of sauces to hit any preference from sweet to savory. For me puts the ‘Bam’ to shame. You’re now in full rotation. It’s been a struggle to find the standard of bbq that I’m accustomed to in Utah. This homesick Texan feels less homesick now. Thanks for paying attention to the details.

Over all we liked this place, especially the variety of the sauces. Our favorite was the raspberry bbq. The ribs were very good, and the loaded fries went well with all the sauces. We would have liked green beans, with bacon if possible, as a side option (the only vegetable options are a house salad and steamed assorted veggies). The cornbread was surprisingly good; it crumbled very easily but was sweet, maybe with a hint of brown sugar in it.

The food was really good the best things to get is the pulled pork and the sweet potato fries. The pudding is really good and you can share it with someone, it’s a little on the sweet side. The corn bread is good too, they have put a little twist on it, looking at it, it looks like there might be some brown sugar of some sort that adds a nice flavor to it. Also with the 2 meats or 3 meats option each pick is 4oz of meet. So 2 meats is 8oz of meat.

Stopped in for some BBQ and had a mixed experience. The pulled pork was the standout — flavorful and tender, definitely the highlight of the meal. The sweet corn was also a surprise hit, buttery and perfectly cooked. Unfortunately, the ribs were a letdown — dry and didn’t have that fall-off-the-bone texture you hope for. The brisket was decent, but not memorable enough to order again. Sides were hit-or-miss: mashed potatoes were okay but on the dry side, and the cornbread was especially disappointing — dry, overly crumbly, and lacking moisture. Overall, some bright spots but not enough to make it a must-return. Would maybe come back just for the pulled pork and sweet corn.
