I've been paying this place for years but we've never stopped. We thought we'd give it a shot…read moretoday. Inside was your typical bbq joint and staff was nice. Thats why it was two stars. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably give 0-1 star. I got two meat. Brisket and ribs and ordered fried okra and macaroni and cheese. Fried okra was good but everything else was no bueno. Meat felt, looked, and tasted like it was left over from a day/days prior. Flavor was pretty nonexistent. My wife got chicken tenders and fries with a side of gravy. It was a kids meal. Hers was the best of all the food. The chicken tenders were good with the gravy. The fries were heavily battered and crispy. My friend got brisket sandwich. She did not like it. Mexican rice as a side and she said it was mid. Lots of food left over on our plates. Here's the thing- I came on a Tuesday afternoon. I'd assume most of their smoking happens Friday-Sunday. I'm sure the food is better on the weekend.

After a work trip, we decided to stop by Smolick's Smokehouse after hearing good things about their…read morebarbecue. First impression--the place is big, with plenty of seating. When you walk in, there's a clear line leading up to the register, with menus posted along the way and a large menu board up front, which makes ordering pretty easy. They offer a wide variety of options. The day we went, they had a chopped beef sandwich combo with a drink and a side for around $10, which felt like a solid deal. For my sides, I tried the mashed potatoes, potato salad, creamed corn, and okra. The okra was a standout--fresh, crispy, and really well done. The potato salad was also very good and worth getting. The creamed corn was something I hadn't had before--it included bacon and had a really unique flavor. It might not be for everyone, but I personally couldn't stop eating it, so I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. As for the chopped beef sandwich, it wasn't my favorite. It was a bit dry, even after adding extra barbecue sauce, and I didn't find it especially flavorful. That said, others in my group actually thought it leaned on the sweeter side, so your experience may vary. One thing that really stood out was the service. The staff was super friendly, patient, and happy to answer questions and help with recommendations. Overall, I'd say it's worth stopping by if you're in the area. If you're up for comparing, there's another barbecue spot a few miles down the road--Choke Canyon--that I've also enjoyed, especially for their sandwiches. Makes for a fun side-by-side if you're a BBQ fan.

I normally like their food but had a questionable experience recently. I ordered a hamburger combo…read more(in-store) and the presentation was wonderful. I had ordered a burger all the way. With my first bite I realized the burger was dry. As I deconstructed the burger I found there wasn't a drop of condiments on it. I asked the waitress about the lack of mayo, mustard and/or catsup. She told me the hamburger does not come with those condiments. What??? Who serves an $8.99 burger without any condiments?

It looks like they might cook much of the food right in the back of the station. However, I did not try the food.

They have three racks of shoes for sale here- from loafers, to sandals, to comfort shoes. I was impressed at their selection for a gas station.
