We finally made an effort to come to The Shed's original location on our drive to the Pass. On a…read morehot summer afternoon, we were relieved for big fans and cold water, and hopefully tasty food. My smoked chicken sandwich was good and full of meat. To the point I needed a fork and knife to finish eating it. My side of collard greens were good but missing the smoked turkey flavor. My husband got a sandwich and 2 sides combo and had significantly less meat than I did in his sandwich. Not sure if that's because I ordered just a sandwich and 1 side vs a combo. The food came out fast enough and I believe the value of food received for the amount paid was good, but I was expecting more flavor. Overall, I don't think we'll be rushing back given the proximity to the start/ end of our drive.

The time has come, unfortunately, to update my review. My previous was from 2011 though I have been…read moregoing to The Shed off and on since 2008. As my last review said, I really use to love it. Food was good, full of flavor. Didn't matter if it was brisket or babyback ribs. But somewhere along the way, the prices got higher and higher, but the quality got less and less. Brisket getting tougher. Ribs being gritty from seasoning not cooked in. Use to, except for a few options, BBQ sauce was an add on. Now everything is covered in it. I think i can't give 1 star because part of me enjoys the sweet BBQ nostalgia of this spot. Bit despite living a short distance from this location, I can't justify a $40 rack of babyback ribs that won't hold up to The Shed of old. I hope they find their passion and focus again, the coast needs good BBQ! But sadly I feel it's holding on to a legacy and TV popularity instead of keeping the course that got them started.

If you're on the hunt for mouthwatering barbecue, look no further than Smokey's BBQ Haven! This gem…read morehas quickly become my go-to spot for all things BBQ, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the tantalizing aroma of smoked meats that instantly whets your appetite. The rustic decor adds to the charm, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels like home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with recommendations and a smile. Now, let's talk about the food! The star of the show is undoubtedly their brisket. It's perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor. Each bite melts in your mouth, and the homemade BBQ sauce adds just the right amount of tang. The ribs are equally impressive--fall-off-the-bone tender and glazed with a sweet, smoky sauce that has just the right kick. Don't skip the sides! The mac and cheese is creamy and rich, while the coleslaw provides a refreshing crunch that balances the richness of the meats. And if you're a fan of cornbread, you're in for a treat--it's fluffy, slightly sweet, and the perfect accompaniment to your meal. For dessert, I highly recommend the pecan pie. It's the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal, with a flaky crust and a gooey filling that will have you coming back for seconds. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Smokey's BBQ Haven delivers an unforgettable experience. The combination of incredible food, welcoming service, and a laid-back atmosphere makes it a must-visit for BBQ lovers. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!

People are so friendly and helpful, The owner loves to check and see how your food is. I wish all the things they offer were on the menu since some things you just have to know about but the crab balls are INCREDIBLE and the only thing better is the Cheeseburger egg rolls. IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW. the music can be a little loud if you want to have a conversation with lunch but boy is it worth it.

There was tons of parking all around the park across the street. Inside had something like 6 or 8 tables and a bar to sit at. They also have outdoor seating. You order at the register and they bring it out to you. I ordered the 2 meat 1 side combo. They didn't have burnt ends at the time, which I'm still dying to try. Instead I went with ribs and chicken with Mac and cheese. I've been getting used to bbq places bringing you small wimpy ribs, but this says two ribs on the menu it's more like three and some change they're so big. These ribs were so juicy, perfect amount of char, tons of flavor. Throw some of the table bbq to dip in and wow. Same with the chicken juicy, with a light crispy skin, and also even better with the bbq. Mac and cheese was also great. It was super cheesy and had a nice kick to it.

I ordered the brisket burnt ends and the ribs with a side of baked beans. The food came out pretty fast. The burnt ends were delicious. Tender and seasoned well I also loved the bbq sauce. The ribs were okay. They were Luke warm so they got cold pretty fast and were over cooked. I enjoyed the baked beans and they give you a hearty portion. Overall pretty good I would definitely go back to get another order of burnt ends.

Parking is available all around, especially after hours, and it is next to a busy intersection. We started with the large fried green tomato appetizer and they give you a bunch. We already ate three before I took the photo here. They had a nice breading on them that provided a great crunch, and I really liked the remoulade sauce that was included. I had the fried shrimp platter that came with two sides, so I got green beans and cole slaw. The shrimp were very small, which was disappointing, but they gave me a pretty generous portion. The sides were very good. My wife had a roast beef poboy and was very happy with it. Our server did a good job of keeping our drinks filled and we had no problems. Overall, I was satisfied with our meal and enjoy supporting local place like this.
