The Smokehouse Bbq And Bar

I was told about this place by a friend and quote 'you know that good barbecue place' well he was not wrong, the service was very good (our waitress was fun and informative) and the food itself was great, not the best BBQ I have ever had but the best I have had in a long time (Brisket Ends yo). The sauces were good but I didn't see any need to take any home but I saw other people take bottles to go so. (I liked the Memphis style one personally). I would have liked more coleslaw as there really wasn't enough to even get a good taste but other than that the meal was good. would go again, would recommend.

The food is good, although the portions for sides seems very small especially at the price charged for extras. The brisket and ribs were good as was the coleslaw. Green beans are great, don't miss them. Wasn't in love with the potato salad. Also, no collard greens on menu. Gotta have collards for an authentic southern BBQ experience. The decor is nice and new, but likely is a holdover from when this was a Chinese restaurant. Not a problem, but it doesn't completely suit the brisket and blues vibe that this place is probably aiming for. Service was up and down. Overly attentive when we were obviously still going through the menu, and then not enough attention when we both ran out of water.

pros: great brisket, smoked chicken was delicious, the sausage is awesome. cons: pulled pork wasn't pulled and had to be cut with a knife (needs more cooking time) --Potato salad was awful (oily par cooked potato with sauteed mushrooms) that's not potato salad -- coleslaw was so average, not worth ordering as a side -- The restaurant was clean on the surface but the tables have this plasticky laminate that your arms stick to. This place could use a serious renovation. I came in before 6 on a Saturday and saw staff lingering at the bar and no customer in the house, my first impression was this place may not be that good. Service was friendly but I didn't feel there was much knowledge about the product. My server had to come back a couple of times to clarify what I had ordered and when asked if I wanted my ribs wet or dry I said wet and was served dry-rubbed ribs. I ordered the big platter for two had a beer and my wife how to pop our bill came to $80. The value is not quite there but not far off. I would try this again to see if I had a better experience.
