It was so good and the veggies in there were so fresh and they always give you a medium spicy and an actually spicy sauce to go with it. They do have some seats for those that want to eat outside but I didn't use them. Check em out if you are in the area!

We tried the Italian sandwich and the fries with their special sauce. The Italian sandwich is an Italian hot dog topped with bruschetta, and it was a solid 10/10. Absolutely incredible. The fries were cooked in beef tallow, perfectly seasoned, and paired so well with the sandwich. We will definitely be back to try the burgers. On top of the top-notch food, the owner was amazing. They were so personable and even stopped by to check in and see how we liked everything. I've included a photo of their adorable food truck below. If you see them around town, do yourself a favor and stop by!

I made an order with one change (no butter on the bun) and the chef was happy to accommodate me. The food was great, the service was top notch, the restaurant was clean, and I would for sure recommend this place and will be back. It just seems like everything I ate (from hamburger, lettuce to onions, pickles, etc) were all just super fresh like they cut them very recently and of course they cook the meat to each individual order and I think you really can taste the difference in how fresh everything is. PRO TIP - if you like onion rings, for sure order them here. They were perfectly cooked!

Myself and two friends enjoyed us some Smokestack Express today, and I have to say we were…read moreimpressed. I stopped in and picked up lunch for all of us, and everything was perfect. The brisket sandwich, ribs, chicken sandwich, mac and cheese, and baked beans were all perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. What really stood out, though, was the customer service. Justine helped me over the phone while I was trying to figure out lunch plans. I was actually headed to another restaurant when I found out halfway there that they were closed on Mondays. I had to switch gears quickly, and that's when I found Smokestack Express. Justine was extremely helpful, friendly, and patient. She made the ordering process easy and was genuinely pleasant to talk to. The food would have been enough to bring me back, but her attitude and professionalism made the experience even better. I can see why this business is successful. Great food combined with great people is a winning combination. Thanks, Smokestack Express, for saving my butt today. You've definitely gained a new customer.

Decided on a whim to try Smokestack BBQ since i was by my son's house. Walked in and realized they…read morewere closing up in about 30 minutes. Most places dislike when someone walks in at almost close. Well these guys were great. The guy up front asked if I was picking up or looking to do a sit down order. I told him just wanted to get a little takeout. He said if you know what you want I can get help you out or if you need a minute go ahead and look at our menu board. After looking at the board, I got a half a pound of brisket point half a pound of sausage half rack of ribs and a small container of mac & cheese. I also noticed that they had smoked sausage too. You pulled everything out of the warmer cut it fresh and asked if I wanted any barbecue sauce on the side. He also mentioned that they had an ice cream machine behind me if I felt like having an ice cream cone while I waited, not many places have soft serve ice cream twist cone so I got one. After forgetting everything home, it was still very warm and tasted good. Only complaint I had was. I like a traditional Texas style brisket.

Came across this taco joint while on the area. Was pleasantly surprised they had a Taco Tuesday…read moredeal as well! It's called the Tuesday Rush Taco. Certain meat tacos are only $1.50, which is a steal in this economy. There are a total of 6 different types of meal from Al pastor, chicken, to carnitas. These tacos are definitely smaller than other tacos places I've been to but I don't know if it's smaller because it was a Tuesday or it is the actual size since this is my first time here. Either way, I can't complain on the size for $1.50. Here you can order at the kiosk or cash (at the counter). I got 5 tacos and a Mangonada Slushy. Tacos- comes with cilantro, onions, a slices of lime as pictured. There is a sauce bar of 4 different sauces from milder to hot, radish, and something else I think onions that ran out. For myself this is like a 4-5 bites taco. I was full after 5 for 7.50 which isn't bad for price! Certain meat was not as seasoned and kind of bland? But others tasted ok. If you have a baby, I recommend carnitas and chicken because they didn't have much flavor for them. Mangonada slush - an interesting taste. Very different from what I had before? Not sure how to describe but I'm not sure if I would get it again? They have other Aqua Fresca like Horchata that I would get next time. Overall, can't beat the price for the value. Is it the best taco I've had? No, I've have better? But would I come back for more Tuesday Taco rest? Heck yea. When I got there it wasn't busy but a lot more people came in later. I would say maybe took about 5-8 mins to get our order which isn't bad at all! They are "rushed"

Allow yourself a little breakfast sin at Perk Up Kitchen…read more It's important to have a favorite breakfast joint in the place(s) you reside and I think we found ours! The interior and exterior vibe are cool and inviting but it's the menu that really makes breakfast here a special experience. Each item is a little work of art in flavor, creativity, visual appeal, and the trendy/classic balance. Let's talk some of these menu items that impressed. Any good breakfast starts with good coffee and juice. The coffee is great and the orange juice is obviously fresh squeezed - the bright flavor that greets your mouth first sip proves it. We chose a variety of different kinds of items. I went sweet with the Strawberry Cornbread waffle. The flavors were a taste of strawberry heaven with its fresh strawberries PLUS a syrupy compote, honey butter and whipped cream. My husband likes to go hearty with layered potato and egg dishes so he went the distance and got the Breakfast Poutine. Layers of goodness in every forkful. What really ties this one together is the white sausage gravy. My kids always choose pancakes but a shout out to the scotch square accompaniment to the kids meal. A little stolen nibble reminded me of when my grandma used to melt butterscotch chips for recipes when I was a kid. Nice touch for kids and their parents reaching across their plates. I would rank this even higher than the bougie, high priced breakfast joints back home (which are struggling to prove their value for me these days). The food here gets you that more approachable decadence without making your eyes completely pop out of your head come check-time.

Both were good but the biscuits and gravy was the favorite. It came with a huge portion of potatoes and the gravy had good flavor. The poutine was good but the hollandaise soaked into the fries quickly and the scrambled eggs were a little overcooked. You can tell they use good quality ingredients and everything came out piping hot. There is plenty of parking in the lot as well.
