The owner was very friendly, immediately welcomed us in and helped us since it was our first time at the location.

Jalapeño grits- Fire! A great mix with the brisket chili which was fire as well. Wings- Cooked to perfection. Ribs- Amazing as well. Bbq Sauce- Perfection. I loved the taste tasted but didn't really need it because everything tasted great without it. It was icing on the cake. I'm going to post a pic of my leftovers but don't go by this because I just threw it all together.

Came for the party, stayed for the burger!…read more I visited Ivy City Smokehouse for a morning party, and I loved that the restaurant was open and serving food while we were partying because priorities! I don't typically eat beef, but every now and then I see a good-looking burger and all bets are off. Ivy City Smokehouse had a double-patty cheeseburger topped with cabbage salad and Russian dressing, served with fries. I'm not usually a Russian dressing girl, so I skipped it and went with good old ketchup instead. Y'all... this burger was SO GOOD. And HUGE! The fries were hot, crispy, and really good too, but I only ate a few because I was absolutely determined to finish that entire burger. Mission accomplished. The restaurant itself is pretty large with both indoor and outdoor seating. Since there was a party happening, there weren't many tables set up for dining, but we managed to snag one. The lines were long and food took a little while since everyone had to order both drinks and food through the bar, but the staff handled the crowd really well. They remained patient and attentive, and whether we needed ketchup, salt, pepper, or extra napkins, they made it happen. Usually the camera eats first, but I was so hungry that I jumped right in before even thinking about a picture. I've lived nearby for years and somehow never made it to Ivy City Smokehouse, but after that burger? I'll definitely be back!

I got 5 big juicy ribs, potato salad and collards. Let me tell you SOMETHING. I tore that food up both days. It's enough food to share, so my mom and I spilt a dinner. The mild sauce actually had a little kick to it and I used it all as a side. The potato salad is plain but delicious. I loved it honestly and personally I put a lil bit o greens on the fork. It came with white bread as well, and a small coleslaw. I may tell them to keep it bc I prefer their potato salad over the slaw. I do want to go back and try their other menu items but those RIBS are a hit for me! I'll be back for sure!

I have mixed feelings about this place. First, they have a. private parking lot, but it is very…read moretight and awkward. This is a carryout only joint, so there is no dining area. there is not even patio seating. They serve all your basic barbecue here including chicken, ribs, wings and pulled beef. The staff was ok. They did their job, no more, no less. I got the large rib platter, which came with two sides. I got collard greens and mac & cheese as my sides. It took them about 8 to 10 minutes to make my food. And since there is no dining area, I took it back to my place. There was a lot of food. I could not finish it all in one sitting. The food was good enough. I was call it "OK" or average. I have had better and I have had worse. The ribs were decent, I liked the corn bread, I was not a fan of the mac & cheese at all and the greens could have used a bit more flavor. Don't get me wrong, I ate all my food, but it was not a meal that I would actively seek out again. 3.5 stars would be an more accurate rating but since that is not an option, I rounded it up to 4. I would not be opposed to eating here again.

This place could be great and they have lots of opportunity for improvement.

Now the noodle dish was really tasty, but the next day it made my stomach hurt so eat everything the day of because it might not sit well with you the next day. I will give them another try though.
