While service quality has varied over the years and their hours have unfortunately been reduced to just a few days a week, the food continues to make it well worth the visit. The SmokeShack is primarily a carry-out spot with a few counter seats available for dining in. There's parking both onsite and on the street--just be sure not to park in front of the mailbox! The beef ribs and pork ribs are absolutely outstanding, and you really can't go wrong with any of their sides. #HappyEating

I've come here quite a few times before writing this review. After church, during the last few…read moreweeks of my pregnancy I was craving fried chicken so often this was almost a weekly thing for me. I discovered that they salt brine their chicken. They say it's 4 pieces you receive which is true if you cut up the quarter legs visually its 2 pieces. We usually ordered the fried chicken with 2 sides I got kale greens and Mac and cheese. I was not a fan of the kale greens and on a separate occasion I even gave the green beans a shot but I do not like sugar or a sugary taste in my vegetables it reminds me of Gloria's canned greens. The Mac and cheese was a hit or miss. I've only had it once where it was a miss though. My husband's sides were Mac and cheese and potato salad. He said the sides to him were okay. The star of the meal was the chicken. Well season for it to be salt brined My main issue is with the portion sizes for the price. You get a small condiment cup for your side instead of filling up the sides portion that's in the styrofoam plate. Not sure who thought that was a great idea, but I don't think it sits well with me as a consumer. We paid a little over $33 dollars. For 2 fried chicken dinner platters that were supposed to be $12.15 each sides included, but obviously their website prices need to be updated because their fried chicken platters are no longer $12.15. Taxes for two platters does not equal more than $10 dollars at least it should in this area. I choose to support this place because their owner is a retired firefighter and it's nice to support my community. They are pretty upfront about their wait most times when you come it's a 20 min wait whether a lot of people are there or it's just you waiting. They make everything fresh besides the sides. I just wish they answer the phone so people could order over the phone to shorten the wait time. The restaurant gives me country side bbq joint/family picnic vibes. Reminds me of down south living. When I do come back I'd like to try their brisket or their wingers and e see what that taste like

I will never deviate for using Randy's Ribs for ANY event I have in the future (I hope to have a baby shower in the near future :-) ) Randy to you and your staff - thank you!! You were all simply beyond EXCEPTIONAL. Your food will be one of the things that we will remember about my dauhters special day. My daughter's granddmother who is 83 said "That was the best ribs she has ever had!!" Thank you Randy and staff!

When I'm in the mood for bbq I usually head to Randy's. It's not an everyday food due to their…read moreprices but more of a treat. The food doesn't generally take too long to come out. When it's nice outside they have several picnic tables to sit at and eat. The pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw is my favorite. They give a nice portion of meat on the sandwich. They have a good bbq sauce that goes well on it. The minced beef was not my cup of tea so I wouldn't order it again. The ribs are just ok. They use St. Louis style and precut them by the bone for you. It's a toss up when you get fall off the bone or rip off with your teeth. Most often it's tough and have to tear into it. They had baby back one time and I really enjoyed that. I think that should be the staple instead. I tried the catfish one time and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Definitely want to try it as a sandwich at some point. The fries are not cheap but the large is a lot of fries. I think their baked beans are the best in the area. The Mac and cheese is okay and did not care for the collard greens. Overall not a bad place and definitely better than most in the area. Still only go for a treat but I do come back.

Located in…read moreTemple Hills in a "busy" neighborhood, you can't miss the red brick structure that is Red House American Buffalo Wings Seafoods & Grill. There are no dine in options here. Food is prepared as it's ordered. They have a hot bar with some offerings and other things are listed on the menu. Rotating specials on various days and overall, my portion vs price paid was generous. The guy working was doing it all solo since his co-worker left and didn't tell him. I was in no hurry and he was quite efficient in handling walk in customers and their drive thru window. Of note, if you don't ask for cutlery or condiments, it's understood that you didn't want them. He was pleasant and didn't do much talking because he was working. They have canned soft drinks, from a dispenser lemonade, sweet tea and are happy to make it a half and half. I got sweet tea and it had a weird taste. This made me think that it's from a mix and not brewed. I didn't event drink it all because the taste was off-putting. I went with the turkey wings, collard greens and sweet potatoes. Thank goodness the sweet potatoes weren't overly sweetened. The turkey wings weren't as tender as mine and needed some attention to detail to remove the small remnants of feathers. The greens had to much stalk and were not from a can. Seasoning on the food was to my liking, but not overdone. My friend had a taste for fish and went with the 2 piece catfish combo. The fish was fried to order and was piping hot when she sat down to eat. Their sides were macaroni and cheese and collard greens. They enjoyed their food but the mac and cheese had a "made with liquid cheese" vibe to it and thats what made me not select it. Parking is on the side of the building or you can park in the rear and walk to the front. The door faces the street and the back of the building is towards the shopping area. If in the area, I may visit and try other things they have. Capable of contactless pay, cash and credit cards.

As this was an all day event, I started with a side of fries before the wine tasting. The fries were fresh, hot and crispy, but could have benefited from some salt and pepper if available. They were also $10, but other dishes were not ready yet, so not much choice. Later in the day, I got a smoked brisket combo with mac & cheese, and BBQ baked beans. It was a sunny summer day, so the outside temperature was in the low 90s...so inside the trailer (not a traditional food truck as in DC/VA as trailers are permitted in MD), the temperature had to be well over 100. Definitely feel for the staff, but they served orders with a smile. The combo itself was good - with promise of greatness - but not quite there. First, the mac & cheese - cheesy with soft macaroni pasta as you should expect . It had the right consistency and flavor balance without too much salt of cheese flavor. Second, the beans - a medley of beans, peppers, onions and homemade BBQ sauce...sweet, mildly spicy with a vinegar base. Finally, the brisket - cooked to perfection, but lacking any flavor from the dry rub. Paired with the homemade BBQ sauce, it was damn good...but just okay without. The disappointing aspect being that the meat was not even warm. With an outside temperature in the 90s, I would have expected something above room temperature...but okay. Anyway, solid...but has room for improvement!
