I think if I just ate the pork ribs, I would have rated the food a 5. They were fall off the bone good, and today they only cost $2 per bone. The brisket was ok. Not bad, just not great. They don't have a soda fountain, which is different, but they have a selection of bottled drinks. 3 sauces to choose from, which was nice.

All I’m going to say here … these RIBS are absolutely amazing! This was my first time here. I have been dragging my feet to try them out because most smoke bbq is overcooked or the rub is not to my liking. However, the rub on these ribs were just right! The meat fell off the bone and was so tender. We got the sweet and tangy sauce and it reminded me of back home, more sweet, I’m talkin about a good jaw-dropping sauce The corn bread was delicious with a honey glaze on top. Green beans were good and my daughter loved the Mac-n-cheese. I definitely found my go to place for ribs. Can’t wait to try the wings and the other side items. This place is 5 stars BBQ!

First time at Smoke Out I took my 91 year old Dad and we both really enjoyed our meal. Ordered the hot mess with brisket that's chopped brisket over mac and cheese and baked beans. I was slightly apprehensive usually that type of dish is light on the meat but Smoke Out really delivered the brisket was well flavored, smokey and tender. There was a generous portion of meat I ate as much as I could and still brought home enough for at least another meal. The mac and cheese was very good as well. Already planning a return visit to try the brisket birria tacos on a Friday and some of their sandwiches. Probably the best BBQ in the Pickerington Reynoldburg area

The BBQ Philly sandwich was amazing. I wish I'd grabbed a better photo before I'd eaten the other half. So messy, so good. I'll be back.
I ordered the 3 meat sampler. I ordered the chopped brisket (they wouldn't aloud me to get the sliced), the wings, and ribs. It came with 2 sides which I ordered the mac and cheese and cornbread. The brisket and ribs was dry and lack flavor. The wings was the star of the show, just make sure you order the dry rub (which tasted like bbq grippos with a slash of sugar). The mac and cheese reminded me of Lee's Chicken mac and cheese. Overall the experience was OK.

Was in the area and decided to give this place a try. Sat in the drive through lane for an unreasonably long time (about 25 minutes. You’re basically stuck in line once you’re there. You have to order at the window. Finally got to the window to order some wings only to be told they are out of wings at 4:45 on a Saturday.

We usually enjoy SmokeOut. The meat is tender and juicy. My only complaint is recently they changed their Mac n cheese recipe. What use to be REALLY good with large shells and a creamy, smokey cheese taste, is now large macaroni noodles and lots of black pepper. Gave it 3 tries thinking it was a bad day, but nope that’s the new recipe. Still good food, but need to bring back the original Mac n cheese.

So glad SOB now offers sliced brisket.I was appropriately asked whether I preferred fatty or lean. My reply was both but learned they only offer one or the other. I chose fatty and it was excellent. Tender, juicy, and smokey.My sides were mac and cheese and onion straws. The Mac and cheese was adequate. The onion straws were not what I expected.The straws were closer to sticks. Heavily breaded, over fried and unappealing. Straws are normally delicately fried, tender and light. These were anything but.

The best Barbeque I have found in Columbus area. If you ever had real Texas barbecue this is as close as you are going to get. I was blown away when I tried their hamburger. Wow, one of the best I have ever had. There is nothing in the menu that is not awesome.
