As other reviewers have mentioned, the food is flavorless. We were really excited to try but as soon as we started eating we were very unimpressed. Bland. No flavor and dry. We had the chicken, mac and cheese, corn bread, fries, and it was all BLAND. The pulled Chicken Sandwich was just a bun and chicken. That's it! The bottom of the roll was soggy and fell apart. The Mac and cheese; no flavor at all. Needless to say; we will not be going back. read more

Holy Smoke - Beef rib - Barbeque Near Me - Mahopac, New York

Someone raved about the food so we figured we should give it a try. I actually found the food to lack any flavor,meats were very dry.

Some of the food served to us was miserable. The ribs and brisket were too dry to eat. Pulled pork was OK. Mac n cheese totally lacked taste. The pretzel was quite good. Service overall was lacking (drinks were ordered were never served). The outdoor is very nice but with the disappointing food we left quickly. I am not one to leave bad reviews but this is a place I wish we avoided. read more

Been to this restaurant many times, best smoked bbq in the area hands down. Quality food and the portions are huge ! Service is consistently very good. Interior of this establishment is warm and fitting for the type of place that it is. My favorite is the chorizo diner. Check it out, you cant go wrong. read more

Phenomenal food. The meats are awesome. The pastrami was a shining star for us but everything was great--including the sides! We got fries, creamed spinach, mac and cheese, and potato salad as our sides. All of them were incredible and did not disappoint. The fries were crispy and good, the creamed spinach was lush, the potato salad was made correctly, so so good. I was waiting for the mac and cheese to be boring and it was the total opposite. It had this awesome tang to it. I loved them all. The corn bread, if anything, disappointed because it wasn't fresh. Also, my pumpkin beer had a weird smell to it but my husband traded with me because he didn't smell it. Overall, that food shined. Service was fine. I look forward to returning. I nibbled on the leftovers from our Pig Nic the whole week following our visit! Barbecue everyday? Hell yeah. This visit reminded me what I've been missing out on. read more

I've been twice and my family enjoys the food and atmosphere. Very in to BBQ and happy with the food quality, taste and service. Great ribs, brisket, wings and sides. A nice bar, drink list. It's comfortable and casual which is what I want in a BBQ restaurant. read more

Delicious food. Easy to get a table. Attendant very nice and polite. I really recommend

I love this place! I think the food is exceptional, and the portions are very very generous. I had the brisket, it was tender and smoky. I'm not a beer drinker but I did notice the extensive listing of brews available. The place is casual, just the way I like it. The waitress was fun to talk to and did everything right with no wait for initial service--we were greeted immediately. And the time it took to get our food after we ordered was quick too. Go eat there! read more

A great BBQ spot located in Mahopac, NY. Ive been coming here for years. They have a grrst selection of BBQ menu items and a big list of drafts and drinks. This spot is known fot their HUGE PORTIONS, their Ribs are fall off the rib and go well with their sauce. I also enjoy their brisket and different side selections. They have outdoor seating and a family friendly place. Highly recommended! read more

Great hickory smoke flavor on the meat. Vermont cheddar on the mac and cheese and sweet corn bread with a good tap selection to wash it all down. read more

Best wings I've ever had!! We got the Pick-Nic and it was enough food for 3-4 people. I would definitely order the spare ribs and brisket again. Still thinking about those wings. read more

Great food large portions of ribs& more. Attentive service. Beer list has depth. Good weather outdoor seating.

This is a barbecue/smoke spot and those meats are very tasty!!! Took away a star because I got a pulled pork sandwich and the sauces made the bottom part of the bun so soggy I just used a fork. That was fine by me since I mostly wanted to enjoy the meat and my sides haha. I got a side of coleslaw (tasty) and Mac and cheese (not that great unfortunately). Overall, good dive spot to eat at. read more

Food plentiful and of great quality. Particularly the brisket. Waitress was engaging and great; nice casual atmosphere. Always a great dinging experience. read more

The people there weee wonderful but food wasn't that great. True barbecue should have a taste with or without barbecue sauce and this was very bland. The macaroni and cheese was just cheese and noodles with no real taste and the baked beans and cornbread were just OK. I will stick with my original place down in Yonkers. read more

Have not been here in a while but it didn't disappoint! Smoked wings were amazing, ordered them hot but they could be just plain to savor the Smokey taste. Also ordered the brisket sandwich with O-rings and coleslaw, another winnner, lots of smoke too. To drink they beer list was quite varied so I went for a flight of dark beers - menu is up to date in their website and they also had some specials https://www.holysmokebbq.net read more

We love this place! Great atmosphere, huge beer selection, friendly, fast service, BIG portions, and delicious food. Better for meat eaters than those (like me) who go for chicken. The chicken dishes I've tried have been a little dry, but my husband the carnivore has loved everything he's ever ordered: ribs, brisket, pork, pastrami, etc. The sides are all excellent. Also--they sell growlers and re-fill them if you have an empty growler at home. We'll be back in the warmer months to take advantage of their great outdoor seating area, perfect for large groups and covered with a "ceiling" of white twinkle lights. read more

Yuk. The end. Looks like Yelp needs 72 words before they post, so let me just say that the Q here is not worthy of the word, "q". Place is dirty too read more

FOOD IS Amazing, people are nice , very calm, family friendly, drinks are great too (Apple margarita)

Stopped by after apple picking in Fishkill. It was around 7 pm on Saturday. Seating was quick. Drinks came right away, and food came out in reasonable timing. Food was okay. Brisket and pulled pork were a bit on dry side but overall satisfactory. Staff were friendly. We loved the outdoor seating! Lights and the fire pit were relaxing. We will come back again! read more

I love this food - but have noticed that the prices are not reflecting portions. I order the spring rolls every time and I am seeing smaller spring rolls each time For the same price !!! They are getting smaller and smaller each time I order! They are 1 inch (literally) then previous and I got 3 for 10 dollars! This is why I only come here every few 6 months or so. read more

Really good food, nice people and dog friendly hosts and diners if you're at the outdoor picnic tables!

The restaurant is an old barn looking place. I get that they're trying to go for the rustic Americana look, but the place looks like it can be better cleaned. The staff I have encountered are very nice. The food here can be very good but it is inconsistent. Sometimes they do a really good job, and other times the food can be semi-cold and you can tell it was rushed. BBQ food requires time and attention to detail. A few times I know they served me food that was made the day before. Their sauce is a thick molasses based sauce. That being said, when the food is fresh, and they take their time; Holy Smoke makes very good BBQ. I don't come here as much as I used to because I got tired of rolling the dice. This place needs to iron out their quality control issues, and they'll have a solid BBQ spot. There's not a lot of competition in the area for them. It can be a good spot for beers and apps, they have a great tap list. Hopefully if you go it'll be on one of their good days. read more

It depends what you get and when you get it last time I was there I had smoked chicken and onion rings. The chicken was petrified completely inedible. The onion rings were absolutely soggy. However usually the ribs are pretty good. read more

Had dinner. My wife had a full rack of ribs with onion rings ad garlic mashed potatoes. I had the pulled pork with creamed spinach and Mac an cheese sides. Both dinners came with a corn bread cupcake which was flavorless and hard. The food was Luke warm at best. Very dissatisfied. read more

WOW! BBQ in a gas station! Great BBQ!!!!! I'd give him twenty if I could. We were driving by and caught sight of the smoker. On a whim, we decided to give it a try since we're always looking for a good BBQ joint. I still can't get over how incredibly good the food is. We've been back many, many times even tho it's a fair distance from our home. Everything we've had is sooooo good. I always get the pulled pork sandwich with sweet sauce ~ in my opinion, it's the best pulled pork sandwich in the whole world. Seriously! Hubby has had numerous of the other offerings, and hasn't been disappointed with a single one. I'm easy....just give me my pulled pork sandwich!!!!!!!! Hope they stay in business forever. And Joe's sister is a delight! read more

Wanna shout-out cat for being super helpful and nice defiantly will be back. Very cool store can't wait for my next visit.

The worst meal my family had ever had 4 of us and four different meals all of us got sick. Oil tasted old chicken was not cooked all the way thru fish had a nasty taste to it would never recommend this restaurant. They should Shut down read more

Food is trash. Service was bad. Servers sucked. Bathrooms were clean. That was the only good thing about the place was the bathroom

Both locations of holy smokes have never failed me! Been going since I was a kid and always get the same thing. Caroline pulled pork sandwich and sweet potato fries. Portions are hefty and be sure to get extra sauce on side because that's the best part! They've perfected the recipe both in their sauces and slow cooked pork. I get the bread and pickle on the side when getting take out so they don't intermingle or get everything soggy. Order a head though because wait times for pickups have ranged from 20 minutes to over an hour. Nevertheless service is always great upon entering in person. read more

10 years ago Holy Smoke was amazing I'm sad to say it has changed. I'll go a couple times a year now hoping it will return to its former glory. BBQ is dry sometimes lacks flavor sides are blah. Has potential and I really hope they step it up to where they once were read more

Food is definitely overhyped, ours was not flavorful and tasted bad. Waiter is condescending, overall a weird experience.

Had lunch yesterday it was Brisket sandwich with French fries My daughter got the hot wings Waitress was awesome Food was great read more

Always enjoy the good at Holy Smokes. Went yesterday and fabulous the way everything is spaced out. Felt safe and ad always food and serve were wonderful. Even too advantage of enjoying the fire pit. read more

I've been here a few times. I wish there were a few more items that are traditionally sold at bbq places. But the service has always been great. However we did make a reservation one evening and the restaurant randomly closed for an event and we would have never known unless we made a reservation and saw they canceled it on us the day prior. So I suggest always calling before driving down. The Mac and cheese is great. Love getting the corn bread and brisket empanadas! A great spot when you're around the area to come to! They also have a great happy hour! read more

The food is mediocre. The few times we've been here we've had the same waitress and she's so friendly and nice. She's on top of it and we really appreciate our service with her. read more
