Barbecue restaurant, Cocktail bar
First time eating here and we really enjoyed it.The staff was great and the food came out quickly.The only reason I gave the food four stars was because it was pretty pepper heavy.Even the mac and cheese had a heavy dose of pepper on it.So if you aren't a pepper person or pepper sensitive, then this might not be the place for you.
When we walked in, we saw one of the cooks slicing a brisket he had just pulled out of the oven - my oh my.It looked amazing! That being my intro to Smok, I wanted to taste everything on the menu.After several minutes of deliberation, I finally settled on the Brisket Sandwich and the Brisket Queso w/ tortilla chips.My husband got the Chili Cheese Fries. The Brisket was good - not as tender as I thought it would be.But, in their defense, I am from Charleston, SC, and BBQ is in my veins.That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich! The housemade pickles were crisp and added incredible crunch and flavor to the sammie. As for the Brisket Queso, I devoured it.I would have literally drank it if I weren't in public.After my chips were gone, I started dipping my french fries in it - um, YES! The queso wasn't just loaded with Brisket, but also with jalapenos and hatch chilis - so, so good! I wish they had a Carolina Sweet BBQ sauce, not just the mustard and vinegar based-sauce, but the Smok BBQ sauce was pretty good.I missed the sweet of the sugar and onions in a sweeter sauce, but it didn't take away from the deliciousness of the plate. My husband really liked his Chili Cheese Fries (although he also ate some of my sandwich, as usual). We would definitely eat here again.In fact, I've got my eyes on that Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread, so we'll be back soon!
We stopped in real quick because I love barbecue and have wanted to try this place for a while.I’m from Kansas City and I go home a good amount and eat a lot of barbecue when I’m there.My expectations are high.The staff was awesome on the line.everybody was super friendly and let me know what was going on and what they recommended and the sandwich I had stood up well, traveling home it was still delicious.It was the chicken sandwich.I’ll be back to try more.
