    I can't believe this restaurant has such few reviews. We were lucky to stop in last night for…read moredinner. I had the Saturday special of smoked prime rib - the best prime rib I've ever eaten and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich with spicy sauce. Both were outstanding. Don't even think about it. Stop here. Service was great, super friendly and helpful.

    Have been there 3X. Major disappointment on all 3 visits. I owned a very successful BBQ business in…read moreLong Beach CA from which I retired a few years ago, so I have a lot of BBQ and deli experience, having run 2 locations for 12yrs. SM's BBQ food is undoubtedly some of the worst I have ever had. We used professional Southern Pride smokers...they obviously use inferior equipment, as their food is overwhemingly so smoky you cannot taste the meat or seasoning. That's what often happens when you use ALL WOOD for your cooking. Admittedly there are some places which seem to be able to mitigate the excessive smokiness to a degree...our smoker used gas and just one log. No one ever complained that our food wasn't smoky enough. Had the brisket, ribs, pulled pork. As they say in baseball, 3 strikes and you're out. They even managed to screw up a BLT...3 skimpy thin slices of bacon from the menu which promised much more, and a sandwich which belongs on a kid's menu for $10. Their idea of coleslaw was cabbage mix with dressing drizzled on top. We sold coleslaw @ our place, made to order, but tossed just before service. Service favored regulars, and bar business obviously took precedence over food business. If there were more local options, this place would certainly be out of business by now. Pick any other place but here.

    A Texas-Approved Hidden Gem! We stopped here on our way to…read moreMount Rushmore, and wow--what an absolute find! Coming from the Houston area, our standards for barbecue are incredibly high, and we almost never eat BBQ outside of the Lone Star State. Golden Hour BBQ made us incredibly glad we broke our rule. The food was phenomenal across the board: The Ribs: Absolutely perfect structure. They were incredibly tender and almost fell off the bone, but held together exactly the way true competition-style ribs should. The Brisket: Pure butter. You could literally cut it with a plastic fork. Beautiful bark and amazing flavor. The Homemade Sausage: A total standout. You can tell it's made in-house with a lot of pride and the perfect blend of spices. If you are road-tripping through the area or visiting the monument, do yourself a favor and pull over. Exceptional smoke, fantastic quality, and a must-visit spot!

    Absolutely incredible BBQ. The smoked meats were perfectly tender, flavorful, and cooked to…read moreperfection -- you can tell they take pride in every bite. The sides were just as amazing and are homemade and fresh. The owners and staff are welcoming, attentive, and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better! Great atmosphere with a laid-back Texas BBQ vibe-nice to enjoy a cold iced tea or beer with your meal! Can't wait to come back to the best BBQ spot outside of Texas! Sorry I didn't take a pic, I immediately started digging in!
