We ordered way too much! The food was great. They turned away any delivery person who didn't have an insulated bag so the food wouldn't be cold. They really care about their food quality!

Incredible, one of the best barbecue ribs, wings, and chicken that I’ve ever had. The owner “Tim” puts so much pride into his perfecting his barbecue meat. He definitely has a winner with his barbecue sauce and his meat preparation for outstanding barbecue ribs. And did I mention the coleslaw is so delicious. And of course, the cornbread is the best I’ve ever had. Truly remarkable to have a great lunch or dinner at “Up In Smoke barbecue”

Oh my, incredible BBQ! Best brisket ever. Pulled pork devine. Jalapeno sausage mouth watering. Some of the greatest meats I've ever had. The mac and cheese and beans were crazy too! Oh, and the shotgun shells were out of this world! We had a little picnic out of the back our buggy. We drove an hour to check this place out. It was worth it!!!

★★★★★ 5.0 Becky Kristiansen · May 2025

This may be the best barbecued food I've ever had. The ribs had a perfect bark and fell off the bone. The ribs were smokey, salty, moist, and sweet. Everything you should expect when you order a rib. The mac and cheese had an excellent texture and flavor. The staff gave great recommendations and checked with every single diner. Their bbq sauce tastes fresh and homemade. I love that they give three options. Would recommend and cannot wait to come back!
