Uncle Bob’s Smoke Shack & Bar

Searching for meatloaf, I found this place. I was the only customer, which was a shame because the food was tasty and a decent price. My meal was meatloaf with two side items and a roll. They had table service and did their best to give me great service. Soul food and BBQ from an Indian cook. Ok, there was a spice in the meatloaf I couldn't quite identify, but it was good.

The food is good definitely not “soul food” though

Ribs heavily seasoned too much pepper
Green beans lack sat too much pepper

Fried whiting delicious
Coleslaw tastes store bought

Rolls dry

But overall I would come again maybe just for meats

The fried whiting is amazing, cooked perfectly, and soul food style. The baked mac and cheese and string beans was delicious.
The restaurant is new and they are off to a good start. I cant wait to try their other entrees.

Update: there is some consistency issues. Second time here and the mac and cheese was cooked differently, and the fish was slightly over seasoned and mushy. Dropped 1 star.

Ok. Uncle Bob’s is a little misleading. It’s definitely not soul food. Can’t speak to the smoked or bbq anything as I got the fried pork chop with sweet corns and candied yams. I think they are trying to be a soul food place but there are some random menu items that have nothing to do with bbq or soul food so there’s that. The sweet corns as the menu says was doctored canned corn but it was sweet as the bane suggests. The candied yams were not soul food as one would think. They were ok but not what you’d get from a true soul food spot. The fired pork chop was nicely cooked. Very well seasoned which was nice but I found it overly salty. If they dial that down a bit it would be a damn good chop. That was all I had today. Didn’t get a drink. The space looks nice and clean on the inside. It was not crowded when I went in around 1pm but folks were starting to come in as I was leaving. There appeared to be only two folks working. Perhaps Bob and his wife? I don’t want to assume. They were very nice. I just think if you’re going to throw soul food out there it better be true soul food imo. I wish them well, I may go back and try something else at some point since I work down the street.
