Inside we were greeted by warm welcomes and smiles from Kelli and Christine. Both were so gracious walking us through the menu. We opted for brisket and two different kinds of ribs. And let me tell you, the BBQ was superb! It was so good that we came back 4 days later to try the hump day fix menu. A menu that consists of lunch items. The burgers and taco we tried were just as good. If you're in the area (or even if you're not) make sure you stop by for some great BBQ!

The potato salad is another quiet win, better than average, and a great side for nearly anything on the menu. The brisket is tender, though I wish it had more pepper. Same story with the salmon, its solid but nothing overly memorable. The ribs didn't hit my personal taste; they lean very sweet, best description is big red with cream soda l, but they're extremely tender and could definitely appeal to anyone with a sweeter preference. The peach cobbler is really good. It's built more like a bread pudding, served warm with ice cream, not overly sweet, and light enough that I ended up finishing the whole serving. The staff here is genuinely welcoming, and the place has a fun, lively energy. While eating, I overheard locals saying they eat here twice a day and at current beef prices, that tells you something.

With only three restaurants in the small town of Blessing, you certainly can't go wrong with BBQ. You can smell the flavor in the smoke, once arriving at Smokin A's. I just happened to arrive before the long line lunch rush. You order at the counter & the courteous staff members bring your food to the table. Fountain drinks & tea are available self serve. I ordered the brisket & sausage plate with beans & potato salad. The brisket was amazing, tender, flavorful & just fell apart in my mouth. The sausage was also very good & had a tasty smoked flavor. The BBQ sauce was prefect, not too watered down & really enhanced the meal. The beans were also good, but the overly mayonnaise drenched potato salad recipe could be improved. Also, only chicken leg quarters are offered on the menu. No chicken breast option, which is my favorite healthier choice. Still... it was a very good first dining experience! I will certainly try again.

It's a small little building three very nice ladies working there and they have several different items on the menu so we chose the stuffed barbecue baked potato. It was very good. My only suggestion would be that for the size of the potato. It does need a little bit more barbecue on it but other than that it was delicious.

Definitely worth the stop! Spent about $75 for our meal for 2 adults + 1 kid (with some leftovers) so not cheap but it's good! Sides: The cream corn wasn't really spicy but just had the jalapeño flavor. Corn bread was on the crumbly dry side but good. Potato salad was typical. Meats: The meats were the best part with excellent quality and melt in your mouth. They also had good sauces with my favorite being the Texas gold with more of a mustard flavor. Service: very helpful in bringing us our food and getting me a high chair for baby and wiping it down again. Bathroom is surprisingly clean and is detached from the building in a separate area.
