Good but not incredible food. Friendly service. Better BBQ to be found elsewhere but you don't have to ask me twice to eat here.
Excellent BBQ restaurant. The half rack of ribs was exceptionally meaty with a great flavor. The sides of baked beans and potato salad were probably the the best I have eaten in 50+ years. I've tried hundreds of BBQ places but Southern Smoke is the best of all. Usually the BBQ is good, but the sides are weak or vice-versa. Not at Southern Smoke, the entire meal was excellent and left me wanting more. A return trip is already in the planning stage.
This is my second visit, the last visit was about 4 months ago. The food is really pretty good, but the service seems to have suffered. It is rare to walk into an EMPTY BBQ place on a weekday at 6pm when it is on a busy main road, but we did. Now that my meal is done there are 3 groups besides my wife and I but no one has picked up the check in 10 minute and there is one very persistent fly in early November. The staff is not killing themselves.
I ordered the half-back baby ribs, sides of cole slaw and potato salad. The ribs were cooked very well, a good portion. The sauce was smokey sweet. The price was reasonable. I would recommend this place. Definitely worth it!
I just ate the best barbecue I've ever had. I think my BBQ is pretty good. But this Barbeque is as good as it gets. Truly smoked really good. Amazing their homemade collard greens has meat in it. The argument with greens is greens ain't good unless it has meat in it. I've never had greens at a restaurant that had meat until now. Best damn greens I've ever had. I had a brisket sandwich mac and cheese and collard greens. I walked out of the joint with a rack of baby backs and a pound of pulled pork. Oh yeah everything is homemade. Everything is from scratch. They got two kinds of barbecue sauce. You can't buy this sauce at the store. I've been on a diet I lost 55 pounds. This place is an excuse to hit the gym even harder. I've been praying Lord I know you heard me.
