My husband picked it up, so I didn't get to check the place out, but he said it was an easier pickup despite how busy they were! Both bags had half a smoked chicken with coleslaw & corn along with an order of (I believe) rib tips. 1 bag had a burger & the other had a sausage. I'm super picky about chicken because it is so dry at most places. Not this chicken! It was flavorful & so juicy! The rib tips were a little dry but I don't typically order them so I'm not sure if that's normal or not for that part of the meat. We also absolutely LOVED the bbq sauce that was on the chicken & rib tips!! I'm not totally sure but we both felt that it tastes homemade! I did try the coleslaw but I wasn't a big fan & I did have to add salt & pepper to the corn. The sausage was delicious!! The burger was good, but it was very thick & personally I prefer thinner patties like a smashburger, but that's just my own preference. I would absolutely come back to try more of their food!

I ordered a Pitt master platter which contains pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket, cheddar jalapeno sausage, ribs, two 6oz sides. This seemed like it would be a lot of food and perfect for us to sample things and find our favorites. For the price I was expecting the portion size to be slightly larger. A little disappointed there. The flavors of everything were actually quite nice. I don't appreciate breadcrumbs on my Mac and cheese!! I didn't see that it came that way or I certainly would have requested they not disrespect my side dish with that. The sauce they provided did not come on the meat but on the side. I like that it's done that way. The meat is smoked nicely and the flavors really came through with no sauce. We tried their sweet sauce and I liked it. Overall very nice dinner and I would try them again... minus the breadcrumbs

The staff of both establishments are friendly and polite. I recommend going on a Wednesday, which is when BBQ tacos are a special. I've tried 3 of those, most of the meats, and all the sides. The tacos I've had are beef brisket, pig belly burnt ends, and pulled pork. Of those, the burnt ends taco was the best, but all 3 were great. If you came here just for the tacos, I wouldn't blame you at all. As for the meats, I truthfully don't have a favorite, because they were all that good. The ribs were juicy and tender. The brisket looked and tasted just right. I didn't even need a knife to cut it. The meatloaf was unlike any I've ever had. It was incredibly tender and had a great, smoky flavor. Although pastrami is beef, it tasted like a very well seasoned ham. Most places I've gotten burnt ends from dry them out, but that is not the case here whatsoever. The pulled pork was standard compared to the rest of the meats, but still better than average. None of the sides disappoint. The beans appear runny, but were delicious. The mac had a generous amount of cheese, and wasn't dry either. I've only had collard greens a couple times, but I found it enjoyable. The potatoes were delightful, but what took them to the next level was the toum it was served with. Toum is a Lebanese garlic sauce. The slaw was creamy and flavorful. Blueberry cornbread is something I've never seen on a BBQ menu before. Both that and the pickles tasted as they were advertised. Smoked Lotus blew me away, and I'll even go as far as saying it's my new favorite, local spot for BBQ. Even the pricing is fair, especially for the quality you're getting. If you love BBQ and haven't been here yet, you're missing out.

One of the functional standards I have for an excellent cheeseburger is just give me your basic cheeseburger, minimal toppings, and ideally no burger sauces. I ordered the classic and while it did have mayo, ketchup, lettuce and tomato on it with a solid quarter pound patty, the meat on it's own was so perfectly cooked (and halal if that is important to you) that just cheese, meat and bun would have sufficed. Don't let appearances fool you. The location isn't much to look at, basically a takeout booth, but they do have a small seating section that is a mishmash of decorative ideas, some sports, some chess, some other random things. Despite its lack of traditional decorative aspects, there is charm in the way things seem to be part of what the owners genuinely enjoy in life. The food is delicious, and more than just burgers, and the service is courteous, quick and efficient. I think most burger fans will enjoy this spot greatly.
