Risin' Smoke Barbecue

Delicious food, good prices, chill small cafeteria style atmosphere, very laid back. I'm not a fan of barbecue, but this barbecue was fantastic and if I'm in the area again would definitely return. They offer pork, beef, and chicken barbecue, and a few different plates - I had pulled pork and a separate catfish dinner, the turnip greens were also good. Service was super friendly and place fills up fast at lunch. Recommend!

Exceptional. The reviews are true. The staff is very friendly. I loved the counter service atmosphere. The food is homemade and served fast. The onion rings were breaded just the way I like. Perfectly cooked. The side of homemade sauce with the rings is great. The brisket sandwich was tasty. The bun was soft. The bbq sauce is homemade and made the sandwich. On my way out I couldn’t resist one of their homemade pies. I love pecan pie!

A nice country BBQ. The food is very tasty. The beef brisket was moist and flavorful. Besides the BBQ, they gave homemade desserts. We had sweet potato pie. Definitely better than standard chain food. Worth the trip off the beaten path. If it were possible I would give this place a 10 star review. Their smoked brisket is the best I have found since I moved from Texas! The food, service, and atmosphere is awesome!

We definitely found a great new place to eat! Great food! Neat place in an old gas station. Had the pulled chicken, potato salad, fried okra and finished off with lemon chess pie. Everything was awesome! We will be back!

This was a good experience. Everyone has their own interpretation of BBQ, especially here in the South. This was good meat but not as smoky or spicy as many. The beef brisket was nice and lean and tasted like a beef roast. Ribs had a nice bit of dry rub on them. I really liked the cole slaw. Baked beans were very good too and I thought the hush puppies were excellent. Tried some of the pork BBQ and had a choice of pulled or minced. Got the minced and it was really finely chopped. Pork needed sauce to add flavor to my taste. Speaking of sauce, they have 2 very good ones; one is a sweet tangy one and the other has a lot of spices and is not as sweet. Prices were about what I expect to pay at a nice BBQ place for a 2 or 3 meat plate. I thought the portions were good and a bit more than I wanted to eat. My colleague enjoyed the Collard greens too. I think that this place does a nice job and you may find it to your liking.
