We saw mention of this place on a community Facebook page and decided to try it out. We weren't…read morecertain what to expect, as there isn't a ton of information online about them... So here's what you need to know! This is a father-son venture that opened up in September of this year. We were fortunate enough to be helped by the son this evening and he gave us a run down of the "new to us" business. They have a drive thru that you can order at and pick up at their take out window. You can also use their website to order ahead and pick up at the window as well. They appear to have picnic tables to enjoy your meal in nicer weather, and they may or may not have indoor seating once this pandemic is over. They have specials most nights of the week that are geared toward families and a lot of them are Italian items. If you like Italian, they were a really good value. They have a Friday fish fry that we're eager to try. All food is cooked to order, so if you're less than patient, I'd recommend ordering about 15 minutes before you want to pick up. For us, if we're getting fresh, made to order food, we don't mind the wait one bit! We selected a variety of items, to sample as much of the menu as we could. The burgers were great! Juicy and nicely charred. We got the ribbon fries and regular fries - both were generous portions and cooked well. Our only suggestion would be to season both items out of the fryer, as we had to add some salt at home. We also tried their chicken fingers which are fresh battered and fried to order. The portion size wasn't as generous as everything else we got, but it will not stop us from ordering them again, they were really good. Overall, it was very good food at a very reasonable price. It's definitely nice to have a drive thru style restaurant in this area, especially during this lovely pandemic. The customer service was great too. We will definitely be back to try out more of their menu, as they also serve breakfast and made to order donuts! Unfortunately for us, they had already cleaned their donut machine for the night. With it being a new, locally owned and operated business, it's a great way to support the local economy.

Could be all the wine in me talking (though I don't think so from the way everyone was chowing down), but this was some Grade A BBQ! Pulled pork was laced with sauce - sweet, sticky, not the least bit dry... the spare ribs were so tender, Smokey and flavorful and honestly not a whole lot of fat... and the brisket, well it melted in your mouth. Honestly - just way too good! Drinks. Food. Service. Company - 10 for 10!

Came in for a quick lunch and this place delivers! Located in what appeared to be an historic home,…read morethe menu has something for everyone. We ordered the smoked mac n cheese with brisket, a brisket taco, and the brisket sandwich with chips. The brisket was tender and delicious, the smoked mac was perfectly cooked -- the cavatappi pasta was al dente and the sauce was creamy without being too thick. The brisket sandwich was super tasty and filling. They sure did not skimp on the brisket! Loved the chopped apples in the coleslaw. A different take on it that made it refreshing. The brisket taco was OK -- good, but not amazing. I think it would have been better had it been in a corn tortilla rather than flour, and have the shredded cheese that was on it, melt. A condiments area would also be nice -- put out some of your housemade BBQ sauce, hot sauce, etc for those that like things hot and/or saucy. Service was friendly and efficient. Atmosphere: casual. Place order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Ample free street parking.

The interior is a bit sad- we took our food to a nearby park near the water to eat which was much nicer. The Brisket itself was okay but had large chunks of fat and there was hardly any meat.

Pretty awesome BBQ place that I saw driving in, decided to give it a shot…read more Food: since I wasn't from the area, I asked a local who said that their go to is Swamp Fries so we gave it a try. This was simply one of the best covered fries I have had. A solid pulled pork over some fries with a decent cheese sauce makes for a good time. Service: unfortunately the food takes a LONG time after you order. I know I had quite a bit of people in front of me, but 45 minutes is a long time. Aesthetic: roadside stand with a cool, rustic, barn-like feel. Definitely seems like a great spot during the summer months.

After being seated, we waited about 15 minutes before anyone greeted us. Once our server arrived, we found out that about half of the sides we wanted to order were already unavailable. We decided to give it a chance anyway. When the BBQ platter came out, the portions were surprisingly small, especially for the price. The food itself was just okay--nothing terrible, but nothing that stood out either. I could hear a cook/manager having a heated discussion by the bar which sort of killed the ambience. Overall, it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. Between the slow service, limited menu availability, small portions, and average food, I left wishing it had lived up to the hype. I genuinely wanted this place to be a new favorite, but it just didn't deliver.

The restaurant is right on Market Street near a variety of interesting shops. While not a large space the tables are far enough apart so that you can have a conversation with your partner. They also offer a great selection of local beers and have a full bar as well. We will definitely visit again when we are in Corning the next time

The cornbread was a giant slice, moist with delicious honey butter slathered on top. Ribs were very meaty with a great char, not too much fat. Pulled pork was delicious and not much fat. Mac salad was super creamy and the perfect texture. Tator tots were super crispy with a tasty dry rub dust. Help yourself station with 3 choices of sauce and little cups. All were tasty. I also ordered a side of white Alabama sauce, it was so delicious. Plenty of seating inside and a ton of varied seating outside with a lot of shade from sun. We almost left when we saw the long line out the door, so glad we stuck it out. We waited about 30 minutes just to order. Then the sign said "45 minutes to get your food after you order". Thankfully ours came in 20 minutes. Worth the wait if it took longer though. I would go back frequently if it wasn't a full hour from my house, but I'm already dreaming of going back. Leftovers heated up perfectly the next day. (Full disclosure, I ordered some pork hash rice and it was so gross. It reminded me of dog food. My husband ate it though, and liked it, so I can't judge.) I love you, Smokin' Pete's.
