The Smoke is a hidden gem in Finn Hall! 🌟 I stopped by for dinner and was blown away by the tender ribs and perfectly smoked chicken wings. They had a delightful balance of spices that left my taste buds dancing.

The mac & cheese was creamy without being too salty, and the baked beans were surprisingly good - definitely a Texas highlight!

The friendly staff made great recommendations, and meeting owner Reginald Scott was a treat. I can’t wait to return for more delicious BBQ goodness. Don't forget to try their blueberry lemonade while you're there! 🍗🍋
