The wings were over cooked / dry but the waitress was so kind and understood when I said I didn’t want them. I chose not to eat but my daughter’s pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries with maple sauce was delicious.
Ordered to go. I hate that I didn’t like this food. So many great reviews. I ordered the half chicken dinner. Chicken was dry. Really dry. I didn’t think the sauce was great. The cornbread was soo sweet. I LOVE cornbread but this was too sweet, not my taste. The mashed potatoes were very salty and not creamy. Tasted more like instant. I hate when you pay good money and are disappointed. They were so nice to give me a piece of complimentary coconut cream pie, it’s my favorite,but not this one. Nothing wrong with frozen pies, I'm always down for a piece of Marie Callender’s but this was not that.

Favorite BBQ place in the area. Every meat is perfect, love how it’s cooked, the flavor and the service that brings it. Really nice place, humble and polite. Desserts are amazing also. Can not recommend enough.

Took a little detour through Rhinbeck and ate at Smokey Rock BBQ. We were blown away by the service, outdoor dining and of course the food! Had the lamb burger perfectly cooked, baked beans we delicious almost like a comforting stew. The sweet potato fries dipped in the maple honey sauce was an unexpected treat. Did not have room for dessert but looking forward to that next time around.
I had an amazing time here! They have one of the best outdoor spaces in Rhinebeck and the food was outstanding!! I've never seen such a large dessert menu either! The service, though, stood out! Erica was the sweetest and most attentative server! She made sure I was comfortable and recommended great items, while never rushing me! I had the best time because of her!

Ate outside in a relaxed environment. The food was amazing and will be revisiting in the near future! This is a must try and don't skip on the corn bread.
My family and I had the pleasure of eating here this past Friday. Very pretty on the inside. We sat in one of the bubbles on the outside (my kids insisted). We had the last reservation close to closing time and despite that, our waitress was very gracious and patient. We started with Fried pickles and buffalo wings; both were absolutely delicious. We were given complimentary cups of chicken soup and their gumbo which were very good as well. For our entree, we shared St.Louis ribs and their brisket along with mashed potatoes and gravy. We loved everything we ate! For dessert, we had their coconut cloud cake and a chocolate brownie. Delicious!! We will definitely be going back!
Got the piggy Mac with brisket, smoked bbq sampler, and fried pickles. All the food was amazing and has a great smoked flavor. Service was great and with a smile, love that they offer first responder discounts as well.

Smokey Rock BBQ provided a satisfactory experience during the Christmas party I attended. The atmosphere was festive and cozy, fitting for the occasion. The barbecue offerings were decent, with a variety of options to choose from. While the food was tasty, it didn't necessarily wow me. The brisket was tender and season pretty well. Service was adequate, it was family style and the staff was on top of drinks and clearing. Overall, it was a pleasant enough experience for a holiday gathering, but nothing particularly memorable.

Amazing spot for local and any tourists. We tried a soup gumbo which was a complimentary but amazing dish that started a meal. Brisket and wings were my favorite! If you wanna add some vegetable dish, eggplant roast was superb as well!

Awesome beef brisket and pulled pork. The smoked, buffalo wings were great, too! Maybe could use some fresh celery.
