Absolutely the best BBQ I've ever had. The key lime pie was incredible along with the other desserts. Fantastic service and great atmosphere!

The drinks, service, and atmosphere were good. The food, however, was lacking. I would recommend avoiding the brisket as ours resembled a piece of bologna that was fatty, rubbery, and hard to swallow. Our waiter assured us that many customers "like it this way" but I found this hard to believe.

From outdoor seating to “sports-style” restaurant decor, this PLACE IS IT. Servers are quick and friendly and the portions are reasonable. The BBQ ain’t Texas BBQ but I’m just bias lol. Regardless, there is outdoor seating for your dogs to enjoy and even offer a “Doggie menu” for those looking to make your furry friends enjoy the meal with you…GIVE THIS PLACE A GO’!!

I came out to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and let’s just say the meal was very underwhelming. We ordered “taste of the daddy”! Which is supposed to come with a choice of ribs AND emphasis on the And 2 smoked meats for over $30 each! No we both got this and we both wanted double brisket for our two smoked meats! We never received our ribs and when we asked an about the ribs waiter looked utterly lost. The brisket is a whole other thing. It was cold, super thin and flimsy. The mac and cheese and corn bread however was really good. We also got smoked wings and those were pretty fire.

As a threshold, the menu is good. Good mix of crowd. Service is as fast or slow as you want. Happy Hour is fun. Very family-friendly but not to the point one without children would want to avoid. Kids eat free 4-6 every day. They have step stools in the bathroom for kids to reach a sink. Skillet cookie dessert is a hit with wife and daughter.

You can't ask for more than tasty, reasonably priced barbecue. Luckily, this casual spot also offers great drink specials and friendly, efficient service. The brunch menu is one hell of an overlooked deal.

Smoke Daddy is a classic and I always love it when I come here. A big group of friends and I came recently for the family-style brunch and it was amazing. Evan made us feel comfortable and welcome and mixed up some fabulous cocktails. The food was absolutely delicious. After endless monkey bread, potatoes, bacon, sausage, and pancakes we pretty much had to be rolled out of there. Can’t wait to go in the summer and dine on their awesome patio!

Had one of the best pulled pork sandwiches ever here. The portions were perfect, and it was probably the least messy pulled sandwich I’ve ever had. Evan provided excellent service and recommendations!

Love coming here for dinner! Haven’t been for brunch, but I heard it’s great.Absolutely delicious BBQ! The food was mouthwatering, with perfectly cooked meats and flavorful sauces. What truly elevated our dining experience was Evan, our exceptional waiter. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic meal. Highly recommend!
