Gonna have to downgrade from my previous 5-star review. We had been to Smokey's numerous times over…read morethe past several years and have always been impressed. Not this time. We stopped in with family recently and the food was just so-so. I and another member of our party ordered the beef brisket. The meat was dry as a popcorn fart. Was it left over from the previous day and re-heated? All I know is that Texas brisket should be moist and melt-in-your-mouth. This was like shoe leather. I had to slather it with BBQ sauce to make it palatable. I could only choke down about a third of it, and I gave up. The only redeeming value was the service was good that day, and they still have a decent beer selection. Smokey's, you be slidin'.

Only have had pizza and wings and both are in my top ranking. 3 bone wings that are cooked right (dry rub Cajun) and paired with good buffalo sauce. Pizza toppings are quality and the thin crust is crispy. Great work. The service has always been solid tho I can only speak about being there for lunch. Patrons are nothing I wouldn't expect for a biker leaning bar and home for locals. I see many of the same people there. As the place fills up you'll feel a union vibe and very blue collar. If you can take the white gloves off for a minute and relax, you'll enjoy.

It's not a large portion for 24 bucks. And while the server didn't think it was overly spicy, it was more like hot Cheetos. Hot for the sake of hot and definitely not good for some tastes. One more chicken pasta, a side salad, and soup....add four drinks and the total came to $120 after the requisite credit card fee.

We stopped in on a Saturday evening to watch a couple friends play. The place was absolutely packed. Being that we aren't regulars we definitely got a few looks upon arrival but our server treated as though we belonged. Slow, but nice. Again, though, the place was packed. I ordered a burger. It wasn't great at all. Frozen, unseasoned patty. Chewy and rubbery. The sour cream on it was SOUR cream. Did love the bread, though. The girlfriend ordered fried shrimp. Came with coleslaw, potato, and a bun for $12.99. Crazy good deal and the shrimp was pretty solid. Overall I wouldn't go back here again just to grab a bite to eat. My friends were fun to watch and the whole bar was singing along so that was cool.

I thought it should be a safe bet to order pizza, you can't mess up a pizza! Boy was I wrong. I was actually appalled when it came out and was placed on the table because the cheese was barely melted and the giant banana peppers looked like they were slapped on after the fact. I tried to force myself but couldn't even finish the piece i started - even my kids stuck their nose up to it, that's when I knew it was bad and I had to say something the top was undercooked and the bottom was crispy but also the flavor was horrible. I don't know if it was the owner or manager but he offered to make a new one for us and I basically insisted that he did not, so kindly he removed it from our tab with no issue. I greatly appreciate that customer service. I will say the basket of fries were great - thankfully so we didn't leave completely starved.
