Came around lunch time for the very first time. Staff are very welcoming and pleasant. Used to come here when it was Bo’s. Ordered the Brisket and Ribs. I requested juicy but it still dry. Even the baby back ribs is extremely dry. I am speculating that they serve left over re-heats and that is why it isn’t fresh and juicy. I am speculating that they do that during the week but provide quality during the busier times like the weekend. They are mediocre. Nothing to write home about or to travel out of your way for a foodie destination. Just my opinion.

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP & THE FOOD SMACKS! ?I was in the area today I read the reviews before deciding to put in a togo order The reviews seems inconsistent so I was a lil hesitant But I'm REALLY GLAD I decided to try this place todayMy kids really wanted mac n cheese We also got brisket, greens, coleslaw & cornbread Their CHEF, Lamar, actually helped me out front He was really nice and FRIENDLY Also the woman who took my phone order was very KIND and patient with my 20 questions (Sorry didn't catch her name) It was definitely GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICEThe kids wanted to go eat outside at a picnic table at a nearby park Coincidently, as we were eating, a woman approached and asked if we were eating All the Smoke She asked how I liked the food She told me it was under new ownership now and things are straighted out And I think she said they're using the same 'ole recipes that customers have loved Something like thatI saw a recent review complain on the BRISKET Well mine was cooked perfect It was JUICY enough and MOIST The BBQ SAUCE is very GOOD The GREENS were PERFECT! I am obsessed with greens with hot sauce And they are hard to find where I live So I was excited to see that they make them @ All the SmokeThe kids loved the mac! They kept asking for more The MAC 'N CHEESE was GOOD But I like it with bread crumbs and I think it could have used more cheddar and something else I can't pinpoint But it's definitely still worth eating, don't get me wrong I'm just a picky person who has tried too many potluck mac n cheeses over the years n thinks I know what's bestThe COLESLAW was PERFECT and DELICIOUS The CORN BREAD was PRETTY DAMN PERFECT Just ask them to pack your butter & honey separately or your butter will melt all in the bottom of the cornbread container n can make the bottoms soggyOverall I really have NO COMPLAINTS My mac n cheese critique is the only thing I could even come up with My family LOVED ALL THE SMOKE so much, we ate it twice, first for our late lunch and then again, we finished it off for dinner There are NO LEFTOVERS TONIGHTMy 4 year old and 8 year old's top 3 favorite dishes were the brisket with bbq sauce, mac n cheese and cornbread Their Grandma who has become a very picky & difficult eater due to her dementia, finished her plate and not one complaint! ?We would buy all those dishes again It was really tasty I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Brisket is not tender, pulled pork is is perhaps stewed, hot links are an unusual texture. There were no smoke rings to be found, nothing tasted like it came from the pit except for the beans. It is especially worrisome when a BBQ joint offers chili... Prices were very high for the quality of food.

Walked in expecting to be amazed but was seriously disappointed. The atmosphere was completely empty. The brisket was dry. I ordered cornbread and they kept giving me the run around in the end. I did not get any corn bread. Unfortunately I probably will not come back to this place again because it's seriously disappointing. For those who give it a good rating , you must have had a better experience than me

Amazing BBQ! We had the Chili Brisket Mac and Cheese, Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Baked Bean. Incredible food!!! The *best* f-ing cake I’ve ever had in my life was offered as dessert on the counter. They had a tough day as it was the SuperBowl but even with the long wait for food and things being out, I CAN NOT wait to go back and eat more of their food!!!

Writing this review after my second visit to All The Smoke BBQ. Brief: These wonderful people and their delicious food made my mom and my family very happy. We will be back. Details of both visits: First visit was take-out (Super Bowl Sunday): Called in order the day before, the woman that took my order was very helpful and patiently answered my questions. I asked about the menu items on their website (they are updating their website), I asked about specific ingredients that are severe allergens (I carry my epipen everywhere, but their current menu doesn't use those ingredients), and we talked about the logistics of picking up on the day of a major event. Picked up early afternoon day of game, everyone was helpful and friendly, we didn't have to wait long at all. At mom's during the game our second helpings reheated well in a gas oven. Ribs, this visit was baby back. Tender pork meat ribs, great bark, wonderful flavor and textures. BBQ sauce, both mild and hot. Mom only tried the mild, I liked both. Coleslaw, nice mix of fresh slaw and dressing (just enough dressing, not soupy, didn't overpower the vegetables). Collard greens, tender and not overcooked, salty but not over-salted. I rarely order collard greens more than once anywhere, but I will order their collard greens again. Corn bread, big slices, enjoyed the texture of the bread, it was tasty and tender with a light golden brown top and bottom and it didn't immediately crumble apart into tiny pieces. Delicious with or without butter and honey. Onion rings, piping hot out of the fryer, a smooth crisp fried batter, tender whole rings of sweet onion. Second visit walked in and ordered take-out (weekday afternoon). Rainy cold day but they were warm and welcoming. Friendly and efficiently thorough without rushing me or hovering (thank you). Brisket, a combination of juicy and lean because I hadn't tried their brisket before. I like both their juicy version and their lean version! The aroma of the brisket smoke was so good that I opened the container and ate part of my meal as soon as I got into my car. Great bark, delicious without added sauce, delicious with added sauce. Tender, flavorful, made my mouth happy. Hand cut fries hot, tender, crisp. The way that I like them, not toothpick thin and not a crinkle cut, slightly thinner than what I think is a regular cut (depends on what you are comparing it to). Long and medium length cuts, tender potato inside and the outside was a light golden crispy but not overdone or crunchy. Onion rings, again very good. Mac & Cheese, creamy and cheesy salty and little areas of caramelized cheese. So damn good. We will be back for more. Thank you, All The Smoke BBQ!

Not the most efficiently run place - unfortunately, I think it's going to be difficult for them to survive operating at this speed. We came early Saturday evening and except for a large group in the back, the place was pretty empty. We waited about 45 min for our food. The food was ok but not sure it's worth a repeat. Margins are pretty thin on BBQ joints considering what proteins cost these days, so I can understand how places like this struggle to keep the lights on - RIP Horn BBQ BB

The Atmosphere here is great. This place is under new management and the people here are pretty nice. The area has a really chill vibe with a beer place next door incase you want to find other drink options.I’ve had the ribs pulled pork and hot link and everything seemed pretty good to my taste buds. I love approaching this place because you can always smell the smoked meats from a block away.It’s not located near the majority of downtown restaurants which I why I think it’s perfect.The food came out in a timely manner and this place is priced pretty well for Lafayette. I heard people taking about kinders but this place is way better.I’ll be back real soon. Would recommend this place
