I don't know about you, but I LOVE doing a late lunch like 2pm+ times where there's less people and I can eat more. I don't end up eating breakfast and end up s...

Smoke Shack offers strong drinks and great service, with an excellent waitress and pleasant atmosphere. However, the food received mixed reviews. Some guests found the meat to be cold and dry, while others enjoyed the sides such as Mac and cheese and beans. The brisket was a common complaint, being described as dry and lacking flavor. Despite this, the restaurant has received praise in the past for its smoked food. Overall, it seems that while Smoke Shack may be hit or miss when it comes to the food, the drinks and service make it a worthwhile stop for those looking for a BBQ experience.

Food was good but having to pay $7 for bread tells you they don’t understand how BBQ works.

The food was oily, the sangrias were lacking in flavor, and the decor was interesting.
