Food is good, they have a variety of items. Â Seems clean. Â The kids like the electronic dart game and it hasn't been crowded both times we went there so we were able to play. Â love that it is close to our house and a better value and experience than going to a Ruby Tuesdays or Fridays.
Review Source:Fried pickles! You have to try them. Â Service when seated at the bar (mid-week lunch) is prompt but without personality. Â The pulled pork sandwich with the NC BBQ sauce is incredible.....spicy with a vinegar base. Â The fries are fresh and prepared perfectly. Â I very much appreciate that this place is impeccably clean, spacious, Â and full of natural light. Â Lastly, there is a broad range of bourbon to choose from....that's the best part.
Review Source:I was a little underwhelmed with my experience here, but because the food and beer selection were all okay and the service was fine, I am giving them a three. Â I don't know that I'd rush to go back, but I might stop in again if I was in the neighborhood and give them another try. Â Based on some of the other reviews I might try a different dish.
My husband and I both had the pulled pork sandwich. Â The meat was a little on the dry side for our tastes (it was saucy, but the meat itself wasn't as tender as we had been expecting). Â Our friend had the buffalo chicken salad and he said it was just okay. Â While they had a large beer selection, nothing on the list really spoke to me so I ended up getting a very disappointing Sam Adams seasonal. Â The service was prompt and friendly. Â The space itself is beautiful, so that's a plus. Â We went on a Saturday night around 7:30 and while the place was full and busy, we were able to get a table without a wait.
If I had never been here, I wouldn't not try it, but I would go in with some tempered expectations. Â Let's just say my socks were not rocked.
We ate here for the second time last night. I really want to like this place, but it's not going so well. The service is poor! The hostess stood there and I had to be asked to be seated. The waitress was slow, but I think she may have been new. It's questionable if they are serving their beers in the correct glasses too. Their menu doesn't have much besides pizza and wings, so don't expect a smokehouse tavern type place.
The good:
Good wings w/several options
Decent pizza (not fantastic, but good)
Decent beer selection
Nice environment
The bad:
No beer flights
Poor service
small menu
hard to read craft beers (chalk board at bar)
My fiance suggested stopping in as he lived at Station Square in the past. Â You walk into a very spacious bar area with booths and hightops. We ordered the full rack of ribs with sweet potatoes fries and corn bread. We got the smokehouse bbq sauce over the regular. The food arrived and it was a hefty portion. Glad we decided to split a meal. The meat fell off the bone and the cornbread was very moist. I was very happy with our choice and it was only $14. I plan on coming back and taking my dad. He loves ribs and will be impressed with how tender the ribs are and how great of a value it is.
Review Source:Well, I walked into the restaurant and a waitress looked me directly in the eyes and walked away. Â Wow, I didn't realize I smelled that badly. Â So it started off pretty poorly, especially since I was the first person in the restaurant.
The second waitress came by and sat me.
The bar area with the big screen tvs was great. Â You could watch a lot of sporting events and in theory it could be fun.
I ordered a hamburger (10 ounces) with lettuce, tomato and onion (hold the mayo please). Â It came with an side of chips and a pickle. Â The size of the bun was enormous and unfortunately very dry. Â The hamburger was okay at best.
My friend ordered a buffalo chicken salad and she said it was good.
I'm afraid this location is cursed and I was not overly impressed. Â Would I go back? Â Only if a group of people I were hanging out with dragged me there. Â Otherwise, I would find another place to get better food and friendlier service.
first off we almost did not go to the smokehouse because of the reviews til someone in our group convinced us to give it a try ..... and I'm so glad we did! I don't write reviews but felt the need to because we had such the opposite experience and it was wonderful!!
Our sever was Missy (?) and she was really on top of her game. We had a party of six all constantly switching our drinks plus our food orders all had substitutions and special requests. She not only accompanied all requests but got everything right now to the last detail!
The food came out wonderful and we all left full and with leftovers (which normally does not happen with our group). Not only was the food good but the beer selection was fabulous ... along with the martinis :). And not to leave out the busser he was there as soon as we were done with a plate to take it away ... he defiantly kept the table clean and clear which was much appreciated since a table of six can get out of control pretty quick....
with all this being said we will be back and encourage others to defiantly try this spot if you want to go somewhere new and try something different.
OHHH and there are numerous TVS for sport viewing ... we will defiantly be hitting this spot up for some wings and a game sometime soon!!!
Terrible on so many levels!!!!
Let me start by saying that I wanted this place to be awesome but it is honestly one of the WORST restaurants I've been to in a long long time. The service, the food, decor...everything!
So we arrived and the restaurant was about half full and there was no hostess around. We waited a few minutes and then sat ourselves and waited another 10 minutes. Finally a waitress arrived and looked surprised to see us so we explained that there was no hostess. OK. She then gave us a paper beer menu and my wife and I ordered our beers. She came back about 5 minutes later and said that both beers were out so we both ordered different beers. About 5 minutes later she came back again and said that both beers were out. So I asked her what beers they did have (4-5 out of 10 or so listed on menu). Of course it happens that beer runs out occasionally at bars and restuarants (granted not the majority of the beers) but how difficult is it to cross out the beers you don't have on the crappy paper menu you gave us?
On to the food... So we both wanted BBQ, it being a smokehouse but everything we wanted was not available. We settled on brisket which weirdly was not available as a platter but was available as a sandwich and wings. Both were dry, flavorless and all around awful. As with the drinks, if you don't have something just cross it off the menu since the menus were crinkled and had beer and food stains so are obviously replaceable.
I have rarely seen worse service. Where did you hire these people!!! No hostess around, waitress slow despite restaurant only half full, waitress didn't know what was available and then bad mouthed the owners...(telling).
On a final note, if I'm at a sit down restaurant other than a diner, I expect to have the wait staff take my payment from me and bring back the check to the table. I'm not paying to have to wait at the front door after eating for the hostess to show up so I can pay for my bad meal. I eat out all the the time and this is the first restaurant (other than a diner) where I had to take my check to the front.
Owners, you have a lot of work to do...
So I wrote the tip that says to give it some time before they "fill out the menu". Well, they didn't. I noticed the smokehouse tavern added pizza.....isn't it a smokehouse? Identity crisis at its best.
To the owners: Smokehouse tavern has absolutely no personality. From the unkempt staff, to the banquet hall style decor...and on top of that, Wawa has better pulled pork. I have never eaten in a restaurant that seems as confused as Smokehouse Tavern.
Service- Terrible. No personality, no uniformity, and please get rid of the white sneakers and jeans...it screams unprofessional.
Food- Dry, bland, frozen. I've had 2 dishes from the "smokehouse menu" and they were both very dry.
Decor- TVs don't add personality. This place is about as boring looking as they come.
Boy oh boy. I may give it a third try in a couple months. But for now, I'm going to Jessie's, or the Smoke Rack for smokehouse food.
