Up in Smoke BBQ

First time in since I moved here in May, and Holy cow was it an amazing culinary experience. It took about 45 minutes for our food to be served ( we were there at 630pm on a Monday for the dinner rush, so it was crazy busy. So just be patient. The food IS WORTH THE WAIT! They usually have something unique on Mondays:-) ) We had a variety of dishes 😋 and everything was wonderful as well! The chef and staff knocked it out of the park! I'll definitely be back when they get some Key Lime Pie 🥧 in.

Once on Daufuskie easy to find using GPS/Google maps. Lots of parking for golf carts. Only a few tables inside so make a reservation if you want to eat inside. Patio seating available or take-out. We went for lunch in the off season. Likely much busier during the tourist season. Brisket on a bun was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, falls apart when biting through. The original classic sauce was to my taste. Not overly hot or spicy. Pork on a bun was also the same. Perfectly cooked excellent with added BBQ sauce. Buns were ok but did tend to fall apart towards the last bites. Mac & cheese was super cheesy. Noodles cooked well. The potato salad was very creamy but not a lot of zip to it. The servers were friendly. The bar has a lot of choices of cocktails and hard liquor. Outside seating was co

The service was phenomenal. Our server was so kind & attentive! Our smoked salmon dip was delicious and our entrees were so good. The pork chop is to die for!

While doing some jobs at Daufuskie Island. We decided to have lunch from Up In Smoke. The service was excellent even though it was a to go order. These people are very friendly! The food was one of the best BBQ I have ever had!! Definitely recommend this place! We will be back soon!

Up in Smoke BBQ is a fantastic addition to Daufuskie Island’s dining scene. The afternoon barbecue is consistently solid, with a rich smoky flavor and perfect tenderness. The evening dinners, however, are truly exceptional—quite possibly some of the best food on the island, Haig Point included. I enjoyed a mouthwatering double bone pork chop, while my wife was equally impressed with her grouper and crabcake. The restaurant is very small, so a reservation is a must. Though they’re still evolving as an establishment, if they continue on this path, they’re bound to become a true standout. Up in Smoke BBQ brings a fresh, delicious touch to Daufuskie Island’s culinary offerings.
