The Smoking Barrel

If you happen to be in the Ellsworth, KS area, I recommend stopping by this awesome BBQ restaurant. The food is delicious! We particularly liked the ribs and sides. Don’t forget to try their different sauces. From sun and lemonade to large wet wipes at the table to great music and friendly service. They thought of everything. What a great lunch with a good value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Smoke Barrel in downtown Ellsworth, Kansas, and I can't say enough good things about it! This fairly new BBQ spot has quickly become a favorite of mine. From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I decided to try the 3 meat sampler called "The Outlaw," and let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! Each meat was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The restaurant itself is small, which adds to its charm, and the atmosphere is fantastic—perfect for enjoying a great meal.

There was enough food for 2 to 3 meals but it was so good I ate it all and wished I would have brought half of it home as I was so full I had to walk a couple hours just to feel better from eating to much. But it was so worth it! **1st review** Opening day! November 1st, 2024 Yummy, so good . Be aware that they are just open two days a week until the owners get things established for themselves. The food is grea

Amazing atmosphere, food, and service! Great destination restaurant. This holds up to some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Get the s’mac stack topped with brisket!

Excellent BBQ! Ordered the Outlaw that included ribs, brisket, chicken, and pork. All smoked perfectly. 2 Excellent sides: German potato salad and jalapeño popper mac and cheese were amazing and delicious. Biscuit was perfect. Very nice owners take pride in their food and providing excellent service. Only open Friday and Saturday.
