Smokestack Express

Nice little BBQ hidden jem. the employees are very nice and helpful as soon as you walk in you feel welcomed. the food is absolutely delicious. very well cooked and seasoned. decent portion sizes for the price and quality.

Heard about the Smokestack Express from a friend who knows I love a good pulled pork Sammie.

The Sandwich was on point. The pork was flavorful, soft and broken up so you could see it was actually pork. Topped the sandwich with the slaw and didn’t even use the sauce.

Family got the Mac attack and a brisket dinner. Both were amazing, when they asked if we preferred a fatty or lean brisket cut I was floored.. Game changer.

They have a good selection of sauces, on the thick side, I prefer the vinegar usually.

Can’t wait to go back next weekend and try the ribs and meatloaf. You have to preorder the meatloaf, but I’m excited to try it.

The ribs were very good, but the Mac and cheese was cold (all three separate orders we got) and the brisket was just OK.

We went on a Sunday around lunchtime and we were the only party, which was really pleasant and quiet. There is a good amount of parking and the seating area is clean.

The BBQ sauce was solid, but the spice level of the “spicy” one is about a 1/10. Could definitely use a spicer option. They also don’t offer glasses of water at all, so you’ll have to buy bottles from them, which is a little annoying.

The staff was kind, they got the food out quickly, and again, the ribs were the star of the show. We will definitely be back for the ribs, but probably nothing else.

Got the 4 rib platter with cornbread muffin and Mac and cheese around lunch time. Super fast and friendly service, absolutely delicious barbecue. The smoke on the ribs was great, and the texture was nothing short of perfect. Sweet and savory barbecue sauce that came on the ribs was delicious, not too sugary. The Mac and cheese was insanely good, I’m used to mushy or under seasoned Mac that’s usually an after thought – definitely not the case here. Pasta cooked beautifully, seasoning was tasty. The corn bread muffin was moist, had a nice sweetness, and it was massive. I would absolutely come back here asap!

I had the brisket with chicken salad and a side of pulled pork. Everything was really good. I think my favorite was the chichen salad, mainly because it’s so good and hard to find this kind of quality. The only downside for me is the baked beans were sweeter than I’d prefer and in my opinion the brisket could use a bit less pepper and more flavor on the crust. Also it would awesome if they offered a Carolina Gold sauce. It’s hard to find. Over all the quality and flavors are great! My suggestions were only to my preference but not to take away from how good the food really is.

Tender brisket & tender ribs along with nice sides make this a decent local BBQ joint. My wife and I liked it. Overall a C+.

Clean little restaurant, we had take out and the pork sandwich with mac and cheese were both fantastic. The ribs were also very good.

Went with my boyfriend to eat inside and got 1/2 lb of shoulder, brisket, and 1/2 rack of ribs. We also got cornbread and mac and cheese. Total came to about $60. Everything was super good! The mac and cheese, brisket, and should especially. Service was super great! It was not busy at all but we went around 4/5pm. Super great experience and would definitely recommend for some good bbq! Will definitely be going back.
