“ The best bbq ever! We came from out of town and happened to come across this spot and it was outstanding! The meat, the drinks, the service and sauces all The meat fell off the bone and was well seasoned! You are provided with 6 different sauces for your food- tried them all and our fav was spicy bbq. Our waiter Jeremy explained the menu and made some delicious recommendations! Only here for a few days but we may go back! Even took a bottle of sauce home! Lunch menu and full bar options!! Large seating area. ”

“ Came in for dinner Thursday evening. Sat straight away. Staff was knowledgeable and order was taken promptly. We ordered appetizers (fried pickles and meatballs) large serving and very good. We had variety of dinners ordered between the 5 of us. The pork sandwich was very tender on a toasted bun. The is 6 different sauces to choose from. Atmosphere is nice and has a nice patio. ”
“ Stopped in after we picked our daughter up from college. Truly was looking for another bbq place, but I'm so happy we found this instead. It was Mother's day, so they were very busy, but that didn't stop the friendliness. The food was amazing. I can't wait for August when we have to bring our child back to college. ”

“ Tried Good Smoke BBQ & Pub for Dinner Thursday evening. The Food, Ambience, Staff & Service was absolutely perfect . This was my first time and I will definitely be back. Melissa took good care of me and made me feel welcomed. The background music was wonderful; some Reggae and R&B. This is some of best barbecue I’ve had in quite some time. I found a new Barbecue home 3 Meat Combo with 1/2 Chicken, Brisket, Ribs. Sides: macaroni salad & coleslaw ok ”
“ Love the food. It's competition bbq, so it's sweet. If you don't like sweet bbq, you won't like this. They have something like 5-6 different sauces, and sometimes they have it bottled so you can buy to take home. The meal sizes are more than adequate. Personally, I love the half chicken, my son loves the bbq pork sandwiches but my wife can't eat a whole meal so she just orders a rib appetizer to fill her up. Their corn bread is also excellent. ”
