Momma Wade's Smokehouse

Ran across the Momma Wade's Smokehouse food cart outside of McArthur's Brew House at the corner of…read moreBailey Rd. & Rte. 59 in the Falls. Perfect timing as I was thinking about dinner and had BBQ on my mind. The owner went over the menu with me and let me sample all the sauces. I decided on a brisket sandwich ($7) and a side of mac-n-cheese ($4). He loaded up the brisket and let me sauce it myself. I went with the "Mike's Butt Sauce", a vinegar/pepper sauce that was both tangy and spicy. He also loaded up a generous helping of the mac-n-cheese. The brisket was tender and delicious, especially with the sauce which was excellent. The mac-n-cheese also tasted very good. I really like that they use full sized penne pasta instead of the standard elbow macaroni. The owner told me that he and his partner both have full time jobs so this is mostly a weekend gig for them at this point. They plan to be in this same spot 6x during the month of October and can be found every Sunday at Madcap Brewing in Kent. They have a website but their FB page seems to be the place to find out where they are going to be and when. They are worth seeking out, this is some good BBQ!

Mike (the Owner) says the cookies are an old family recipe which is an oatmeal crisp and delightful. It's not often I find a meal from a cart that can transform basic components into a memorable culinary experience but I suggest that you try it, sample the ribs or brisket, and form your own opinion...it's all good and you can't go wrong. It's reasonably priced, the portions are generous and the food fresh and tasty. I enjoy the ribs, the pink tint to the meat with some nice bark and a tender interior is delicious.

As of this writing, they're at the parking lot on Piikoi/Kinau on weekdays (4-9pm) and Bellows AF Base on weekends 10am-4pm. If you're looking for a convenient takeout place before jumping on the H1, this is an easy stop. Parking is free and plentiful. You can see the food on their Instagram. It's mostly a Japanese/American hibachi concept, with NY steak, shrimp, fried rice, and fresh vegetables. The protein options each come served over fried rice with grilled veggies and their signature special sauce. Portion sizes are large for the price. Prices are also reasonable; they're cheaper during the week and a little more on Bellows. All the ingredients were fresh and it was fun to see the food being made. The owners were also immediately friendly and welcoming. Also as of this writing cash or wireless payments are accepted, but credit cards coming soon.

It is easy to find, easy to park, spacious with plenty of seating and an outdoor deck overlooking the river. We were seated promptly and greeted by a very nice young lady by the name of Lorelei (quite a wonderful name). She was effective, efficient, pleasant, and made our experience that much better. At the entrance was a surprisingly well stocked wine cellar with some very good names. I was looking forward to a nice glass of wine for lunch. Unfortunately, the table selection only included a very few obscure names by the glass, so that option was out. The menu included all the standard burgers, flatbreads, and odds and ends one would expect. The food was good and we had a nice lunch. We finished with a nice cup of coffee and a pleasant smile from Lorelei. I very much enjoyed our excursion to Kent State University and "The River Merchant". I would recommend both.
