Smiley's Craft Barbecue

Was told about this place by a lady at a store. In town for the races. Brisket is amazing! Some if the best I've had. Definitely worth the drive!

As far as the food, it's a five-star. Everything we tried was very good. It was a bit pricey for the portions. But overall was a good experience.

Dont make the same mistake I did and take the food home. Eat at smileys so when you realize how good it is you can go ahead and order another pound or two to take home with you. Hidden gem and looking forward to see how far this place goes. Well worth the drive.

One of our vendors brought us lunch from Smiley's and we were blown away with how good it was. I had several of our staff members come up to me and tell me how much they enjoyed it. I hope to make the short trip to Ponder soon to try it again. Thanks Smileys!

Smiley’s is one of the best barbecue I’ve had in Texas. The brisket is tender and pulls apart with minimal effort and has tremendous flavor, the ribs are excellent, the turkey has a lot of moisture in it and isn’t anywhere near being dried out. I could go and on about the barbecue here, but if you’re looking for great barbecue... don’t look any further. This is the barbecue you’re looking for and are wanting to spend the money on every single time you go.
