Review by Cleta Effertz

September 27, 2024

SmokeStacks Cafe is a hidden gem in Raleigh! ๐ŸŒŸ Tucked away from the hustle, this cozy spot is perfect for a casual brunch or dinner.

I savored the shrimp and grits, which were creamy and packed with flavor, alongside fall-off-the-bone short ribs. They even had delightful cocktails to start! ๐Ÿน Don't miss their deviled eggs topped with crispy pork rinds - such a fun twist!

The atmosphere felt friendly and vibrant, making it a great place for families and groups. Just a heads up: come early if you want dessert, as the chocolate cake runs out fast! Canโ€™t wait to return! ๐Ÿ˜‹
