Lobby could use some more decor as it seemed bare, but the owner was so nice and very friendly about explaining the menu and had a fantastic music selection playing. The brisket mac and cheese was so good I couldn't think about any other food for the rest of the day! Also got an order of brisket sliders and burnt ends. The House BBQ sauce was phenomenal and great for dipping my fries into. The chef hooked me up with some fatty meat as I love the fat and was even kind enough to let us try the lemonade and tea... we loved both and got a cup of each! Great service and great food. Stopped here when traveling back to WV from PA, and it was awesome! Perfect algorithm find on Google Maps when I searched up BBQ near me when traveling. A neat thing in the lobby was a map where he had people put a pin where they're from when they came to eat there. So cool! Would recommend to anyone near or far!

Great spot! The gentleman was in there working alone. Taking & making orders. Yet he was able to maintain a great attitude and served our food to us with LOVE! Would DEFINITELY come back again...all the way from NYC! Brisket goes crazyyyyy!

No exaggeration that these are the best ribs I've had in I don't know how long. It's been years since I've had ribs this good. They were tender, fell off the bone, and the homemade sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness and heat. I also got the leg quarter with the dry rub. It was cooked to perfection. The meat is smoked on site. I live 2 hours away in Jersey but planning on driving over the next time I'm down the shore. Do NOT pass this place up if you have the chance.

First time here. I love bbq so I had to stop and try it. Owner was friendly and let me try some samples. The restaurant is clean. Fast service around 4pm Friday. Bought the rib tips and Brisket mac. The sauce is amazing. The meat is tender and juicy. The Mac is creamy and well seasoned. Decent prices. Definitely coming back to try other things. They have a point system to save on future orders. Can't wait to bring my Dad and son here.

OMG. This food is beyondddddddd delicious. My partner & I just tried it today for the first time and they for sure have returning customers. From the moment we walked in AL greeted us with a smile and explained the menu to us, he even gave us free samples to try before we made our decision. The food is 10/10 ! It’s so flavorful and the snaq-n-cheese is sooooo freaking good. The rib tips are amazing and the green beans are seasoned to perfection. My partner got the catfish box with baked beans and he scarfed it down in 2 seconds which is amazing because he’s a picky eater. They even through in a side of coleslaw! Overall this place is 10/10 from the atmosphere to the customer service all the way down to the food it’s all hits and no misses. We’ve already determined the next time we have a party we will be ordering catering from SmoQ-N-Meat BBQ! AL thank you for your excellent customer service and delicious food! We will be back VERY SOON! If anyone was contemplating on stoping by and grabbing some grub..DO IT! YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED!

This is the second time I ate here. The food here is phenomenal. They smoke all their meats on site. We had Ribs,chicken, Mac n cheese and coleslaw. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves REAL BAR B Q! Also Al was gracious enough to give us a lil sample of their burnt ends which were delicious!
