SmokeStacks Cafe

Fantastic place to eat! I was told this place was a " hidden treasure " by a friend and he was absolutely right.
I got the crab stuffed avocado and it was delicious! I never had that before and it was the best meal that I have had in a long time. The menu changes every day and they have great Cheifs.
Very highly recommended..

Holy smokes! This place is delicious.
Tucked away in a neighborhood with no fanfare, you might walk right by smokestacks.
Unless, however, you are prone to venture into unknown cafés.
So glad we did! We arrived pretty early on a Saturday evening around 530 before things started to get busy.
Immediately someone whom I believe is the owner set about turning on the game at our request and joking around.
Other diners joined in, and it felt like we were amongst friends.
We eased into our meal with a couple of great cocktails, and of course, a basket of pork skins.
Skins were delicious… crispy and not overly greasy.
Cooked perfectly.
For apps we enjoyed collard wraps.
Collardswas on the menu that day.
Interestingly, the menu changes every single day.
I was eyeing all the entrees around me before we settled on the shrimp and grits and short rib dishes.
The short rib literally fell off the bone, no knife needed.
The shrimp ( + a few scallops!)and grits did not disappoint either with the cheesiest and creamiest grits I’ve ever had.
Entrees were well portioned and very satisfying.
Flavor combinations were on point! My only regret is that I did not order the chocolate cake immediately.
By the time we finished our main entrées, the restaurant had started to feel, and the cake was gone.
Tip: if you see a great cake on the counter, go ahead and order! We satisfied our sweet tooth with delicious homemade cookies.
We lingered a couple of hours, enjoying all of our dishes, cocktails, and a couple glasses of wine.
As we neared dinner time, the place was definitely filling.
I did notice that several families arrived with small kids, so be prepared for that if you are looking for a quiet, intimate place.
This is a neighborhood café, and the clientele reflect that.
I cannot wait to return to smokestacks!

Yall, this place has delicious food: 1.
Deviled eggs with pork rinds on top.
Pork rinds crunchiness was a really nice addition and the seasoning on the egg was delicious. 2.
Brisket sandwich was phenomenal, the egg yolk runniness in it was a really nice touch. 3.
The pork belly was really smoky and delicious.
Maybe my fav pork belly, but the Dutch baby was just ok.
I think with some more syrup or flavor it would have been better. A++ would go again
