BBQ tends to blend together after a while, but theirs stood out, good flavor without being overpowering, something for everybody. I got the smoked turkey sandwich and the turkey was so tender and juicy I almost ordered a second one, even though the first was plenty filling. I'd be back here in a heartbeat if I'm ever down this direction again.

We went there a year ago and had a wonderful experience. The other day we went again and it was…read moredrastically different. We ordered burnt ends and brisket in the meat combo. The burnt ends were basically hard chunks of very dry pork bbq with some blackened spots but not crispy burnt ends in bite size chunks of good meat like last year. Also the brisket was very dry as well and the Cole slaw is quite bland. The grits were the bright spot as they were delicious. The server was super nice and attentive. For the price, it was not worth it. The meat should be much more tender and moist for $26. We will try other places before returning here again.

We stopped by Holy Smokes BBQ during peak lunch on a very busy holiday Friday, so the line was no…read morejoke--about 30-40 minutes. That said, once we ordered, the food came out surprisingly fast (5-10 minutes), and they clearly had a solid system in place for how busy they were. It's an order-then-find-a-seat kind of spot. The $15.99 combo special is absolutely the move: a main/sandwich/hot dog, two sides, a drink, and a small piece of fudge. The sides are on the smaller side, but the sandwiches and hot dogs are generously sized, so it balances out. Plus, the fudge at the end is a nice little sweet touch. Plenty of BBQ sauce options that slapped, too. Food-wise, everything we had was really good--flavorful and satisfying. The only hiccup (and the reason for the 4 stars) was with a couple of items. My hot dog was supposed to come with nacho cheese sauce and caramelized onions (I even watched it get rung in), but it came out completely plain. The mozzarella sticks also came out cold, which was not great--especially when you're expecting a cheese pull. When I brought the items back, I was asked if I wanted the mozz sticks microwaved... which was a hard NO. I asked for them to be remade properly which is when an older woman--possibly a manager or owner-- stepped in and did offer to remake them but seemed visibly annoyed. I get your busy, but hey -- my order was wrong so you should probably address that before rushing to the next order. For the hotdog, I told her what was missing and instead of the nacho cheese sauce and caramelized onions that was supposed to come on it, I was handed cold shredded cheese and chopped raw red onions. The food still ended up tasting good, but the reaction to the mistake was disappointing. Overall, it's a solid BBQ spot with great value and good food. I'd recommend it and would go back, though I might try a few other places first. With better handling of small mistakes, this could easily be a 5-star experience.

When I picked the plate up it was heavy. I could only finish about half of it. Not a bad thing to have left overs for later...especially when they are good. Several meat options and I really wanted to try them all. The nachos were my second choice. After we sat down I saw a sign that said 'Wing Wednesday'. I didn't see it before I ordered. Dang it. This was a great place to stop in for a meal. Tables were full of happy people eating and chatting. There was a moment where the room fell to a mild silence. I looked around the room and everyone was just chewing. It was a little funny to me but a very good sign.
