If you're craving BBQ, please stay away from this disaster. All the meat is packaged and frozen, most certainly NOT smoked or cooked at the location. The only saving grace were the Jackson's butter toffee peanuts that were left in our center console. The chola that was working was very nice and tried to make things right. Do yourself a favor and grab fast food instead.

Decent Q. Not the best I’ve had, but a solid showing. It’s the kind of Q that requires sauce and that’s usually a terrible thing, but in this case it’s strangely not. The mango habanero sauce I got was very delicious. That sammich was real messy, not that that’s a bad thing, just ensure you have plenty of napkins. Potato salad and coleslaw were both quite tasty. Service was real good and prices were right.

This was definitely a very delicious stop. I was over at the loves truck stop for the weekend and walked over. Ordered the 3 meat plate and it was so fresh and very good.

Really enjoyed the pulled chicken sandwich I had, my husband enjoyed his brisket sandwich.

The food was okay. Pulled pork was cooked nicely but could have used a little more BBQ sauce. The Tater gems were a huge disappointment and waste of money. I did door dash and when I recieved my food I realized I paid $6 dollars for 10 tater gems that were not good at all. The sauce for the gems were pretty good though. I was also upset that I was not notified they did not have potato salad they just wrote sorry on the to go box and automatically substituted macaroni salad. I would have liked them to let the dasher know and reach out to me to see if that was fine or if I wanted something else.

Ribs and tri tip were good, but could have been more flavorful. The coleslaw was pretty good, but all the other sides we tried - Mac and cheese, tater tots, and fried pickles - were disappointing and bland. The fried sides were too greasy

Food was OK… only OK, not good, not great, certainly nothing to rave about. Family of 5, all different items, all had same feelings.Super irksome thing, because it’s not at all thoughtful about service… they have picnic tables for dinning there, but trash cans are across the parking lot. Also, the truck is leaking something, probably water, but clearly been leaking a LONG time given the size of the puddles. Combination of these really made the truck and experience feel shabby.Disappointed given other great reviews, wonder if we just had an off day or just not our preferences.

Baby back ribs were very tender, but not as flavorful as other reviews made it sound. Not a dig, and solid … just not incredible. Healthy portion and VERY fair prices. Very friendly service, speedy and convenient to the interstate and least expensive gas in the area. Unfortunately they were out of the brisket and tips when we visited. Baked beans were very good. Thank you!

I personal enjoy it. Look forward to it when I'm passing through on my truck. Great service and pretty quick especially for the large order i got. For my taste, it's great food especially compared against all the regular big fast food places. If recommend it.

This is the best BBQ I have had in a long time! So good!

It was delicious food. Little too much horse radish in the coleslaw, but as soon as I put it my brisket sandwich it was over the top amazing. 100% going back there

Driving our 18 wheeler cross country we stumbled upon Smokin Franny’s in Ontario Oregon . Folks , her little Getty-up food trailer is directly across from the Loves , right off of I-84. When I tell you her food is bangin it’s an understatement ! We hail from what folks refer to as “The South” , where people know barbecue .. We are headed back with our tails tucked between our legs because this woman has shown us up!! We had a pulled chicken & pulled pork combo with honey bar-b-Que sauce, garlic parm sauce , homemade Mac salad and the best damned smoked beans I’ve ever put in my mouth ! I bought the rest of her beans because she was set to close for the day . Do yourself and your family a favor , stop by her business & give her a holler ! If you leave hungry it’s your own fault ! There’s tons of tractor trailer , motor home and specialized parking . No excuse not to stop and Eat ! No I don’t work for the business , just a highway cowboy giving a rave review because it’s well deserved ! Will visit again for sure !

As a truck driver, not many good places to eat at. But this place is top notch. Food is delicious. Definitely worth stopping for if your traveling. Will be back again when I’m in the area.

Really poor quality. I was in right after opening so my 3 orders were probably leftovers. The brisket was shaved (thinly sliced) and way over cooked. The side potato salad tastes like it was coated in garlic powder, The ribs were fall off the bone..but cooked for hours and hours. the side of fried macaroni and cheese was bad too. little squares of breading with 3 or 4 small pieces of macaroni. the food trucks next door were packed...I was the only one at Smokin Frannys.
