Went because we had a taste for some bbq. The waitress claimed to be the only one working so it was gonna be a wait which was okay. What we didn’t like was that the table that was seated after us got there food before we did. The food was tasteless you definitely had to add sauce to give it some flavor. Fries were okay. I’m from Michigan and happen to stop by on a visit. The waitress was nice and checked on us a lot she definitely was doing her best.

Had great food, a very clean dining & kitchen center. Very great place to eat at with the family and very decent prices on food selections.
I would like to clarify this rating with whomever owns/manages the restaurant. First of all my husband and I have been to Smokey's at least FOUR times in the past couple of months. Up until LAST NIGHT, We would give you FIVE STARS for everything! We even took a good friend there one night. But our visit last night (Saturday night) was awful.We arrived about 5:30 and were seated. A waitress we have never seen there before came up to us and asked what we'd like to drink. I ordered a pinio grigio and my husband ordered iced tea, as he was driving. Waitress came back, said they were out, so I ordered a chardonnay...no big deal.The waitress came back with it, and put a salt and pepper shaker (FILTHY) down on the table. The whole top of the pepper shaker was covered with what looked like melted cheese covering the shaker holes. Really gross and dirty.Waitress took our order, both of us ordered the filet mignon, medium, baked potato. I asked for a substitution on the salad or cole slaw. She said, no I'm sorry I can't do that you have to take what comes with it (we tried to explain we'd pay extra for a veggie). Again no big deal. I said I'd take the cole slaw. We pointed out the pepper shaker and she looked surprised, said, I'll get a clean one.We waited more than our usual wait for the food. Salad came first, my cole slaw later. After a longer than usual wait, main plates were served. We expected one nice filet. We got "pieces" of filet and the were way overcooked and cold. I was going to send mine back, but my husband said, we've waited long enough so let's just eat it.Meantime, two men were seated behind us. They ordered drinks, and ALL the time we were eating the waitress totally ignored us: passed by us at least four times and didn't even look at us or ask if the food was okay. She paid LOTS of attention to the booth with the two guys. I wasn't born yesterday...these guys looked like they would tip well. But ignoring us that often was insulting.We paid the bill and my husband gave her a 20% cash tip. She said oh, you're not mad at me? (Whaaaat?).Look, we are NOT negative people. We are always polite, always tip well, etc. I told waitress that I used to be in restaurant business and as a waitress, trying to be nice.What we ARE is DISAPPOINTED.I would like you to know that on this fifth visit, I rate it a zero to one star. We are not vindictive or old grouchy patrons. We just expect decent food and service.PLEASE for your sake, don't fire the waitress, but TEACH her how to act. And, whoever cooked (not the waitress's fault) was also terrible.We have had four great meals in the past, on various evenings, and ordered steaks every time (whatever was available). You were turning into our favorite "go to" restaurant.Was it an off night? Did you have new employees? Who was in charge? Whatever happened, my husband does NOT want to come back. I would rather pay you the respect of letting you know . I can't believe your food and standards would have declined that fast, in just a few weeks.Thank youVegetarian options: It wouldn't hurt to offer more, even though we are not vegetarian.

First off I’ll say the brisket is amazing! The food and service overall is very good, but the portions are a little small. The cornbread muffins are tiny. I was disappointed they took the combo meals off the menu as well.

I was hungry for brisket and they are local. It had been quite a while since I’ve been there. Food was good. Service was great. Table was sticky??? Two couples at tables but the bar was full.

Fantastic!! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!! We were in the area for a day trip and googled “places to eat in Oregon, OH” and this was one of the top choices to pop up and I can see why after our wonderful visit. Our waitress Jen was fabulous! She was courteous, knowledgeable about the menu, and so so so kind! We started with the portobello fries, which were amazing and the zesty ranch for dipping was excellent!! I got the spare rib and fries special with an added side of coleslaw (the best coleslaw I’ve ever had!) and my boyfriend got the pulled pork platter (amazing!!!) oh and the corn muffins are out of this world. Jen gave us a sample of baked beans for our next visit, which were also excellent. Oh I also got 2 margaritas that were amazing!! Large portions at a great price and fast service, can’t beat it!! 10/10 highly recommend!
