We found our favorite BBQ place. It was our first time here and we came in a large group. Hailee gave us 5 start service and made sure we had everything we needed. She refilled my drink 3-4 times and made sure everything was perfect for all of us. We had the sausage and the lean cut brisket with the sweet Bbq sauce and the mustard one. Delicious. The burger is next on our list to try. It's huge and hand made with brisket! I wish I got a pic of it before it got eaten at our table. The bar looks like a great hangout as well, so this will be a great neighborhood hang out. The manager was nearby to make sure we were happy as well. We loved this attentive staff! The sides were great. We enjoyed the broccoli rice, coleslaw, green beans and collard greens. They were all delicious, the dishes come with a sample of the coleslaw and it is tasty. I also sampled the Mac and cheese which was delicious. The wood and brick decor compliments the lighting and gives the place a classy yet warm atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back!

BBQ in Evans, it can't be good. Well its not good it was great. We got just meats, so I can't speak to the sides. But the pulled pork was tender and moist, the brisket was smokey and pull apart tender, good pitmaster, and the dry rub ribs were delicious and tender. The vibe at the restaurant was bbq chill and the service was good. Mark me down as a fan and I will be back. read more

Just found this place and I'm amazed at these pork rinds. So good, they are crispy but melt in your mouth. The drinks are also great I would recommend this place for sure. Service was fast and friendly and a family atmosphere with some adult area around the bar. read more

The food and service was was good. I was pleasantly surprised by the food. Didn't get much of the ambiance I picked up but it looked nice inside. I got the all meats platter and it was a good amount of food for a family of 5 -7 and leftovers. read more

My husband & I have been engaged in a BBQ battle since we met. We each have a favorite that the other hates. We can now declare an end to the 100 year CSRA BBQ Conflict. We got the pork rinds with beer cheese. They were both great, just not together. I got the natty, he got the basic, and our sides were the Mac & cheese & potato salad. Everything was phenomenal. Tried a few different sauces & those were excellent as well. Servers were friendly & attentive. Bonus, they're open on Sunday. It is a hike from NA, but even with these gas prices, we'll carpool if we have to. read more

Barbecue (or more apparently written, BBQ) is the sushi of the South. Think about it; it can be fresh from the field/pen or fried up, it can be paired with just about anything under the sun, and the truth (if you're honest with yourself) is that "my last bite" is just a opportunity to catch your breath before you eat some more. That said, you bring barbecue to my attention just know I come with a fork and a bucket full of skepticism. I'm either leaving full or letting that pitmaster know they are "full of it." And so one fateful evening I made my way over to Smoke & Barrels. Now I did let my guard down just a touch, knowing that they have the same owners as Ironwood Tavern (don't even get me started on that bulgogi pizza!). But still, I came with a watchful eye. Now I'll mention this, as a neutral comment and nothing more, that you order then are seated. Aka, they don't come to the table and take your order or refill your drink. Honestly I'm indifferent on this, more so when my order came out in quite the timely manner. Per usual, I ordered some pulled pork. That's the true test of a pitmaster. I added a side of mac n cheese and fried okra. Of course I'm planning to wash it all down with some sweet tea (I took a chance on that one). As aforementioned, the order came out quickly. And with it the quick realization that I would not be exiting hungry. Quantities are sufficient (aka, you will have enough to eat-as my great grandmother would say). I could tell from the texture and coloring of the pork that a house party was about to commence in my mouth. You just have to know what a beautiful pile of tender, juicy pig meat can do to a person. Mac n cheese had some darker brown spots (aka, been in that oven!) and the okra called out with its vibrant green from beneath the brown exterior. I am not sure, but I might have set a new world record for holding my breath the longest...as I did not take a single one as I devoured everything. The only reprieve was when I paused for a refill of tea (which yes, was syrup sweet and made it look like I was wearing lip gloss). I am excited to return and try some of every category; meat, sides, apps, and desserts. But I'll stick with that tea. Dessert in a glass! Stop in soon if you know what's good for ya. read more

Perhaps the best BBQ in the CSRA at this time. Good and fast service. Enjoyed the brisket most. Mac and Cheese and potato salad also very good. Wish for french fries though. read more

Wonderful staff, the smoked ribs - utterly outstanding. Will definitely be back, clean restaurant nice set up.

Excellent pulled pork. I wish they would serve smaller portions for a smaller price! The barbecue plate is enough for two people.

Personally right now.I am surprised that this restaurant doesn't have that many reviews. This is one of the best places in evans to get barbecue at. My first visit here was wonderful and the service was just as wonderful. I had purchased a small chop beef with Kansas style barbecue and a natty style barbecue with broccoli and rice casserole and a Mississippi mud pie. And let me tell you that was the best thing I have eaten in so long. The ambiance here was just as wonderful. If you haven't tried smoking barrels I encourage you please try it at least once. I didn't leave disappointed. read more

I have an allergy to beef and pork so finding a BBQ place around town that can make really good chicken has been a struggle. I ordered at the counter and got a table number. I was greeted by a server asking if we wanted alcoholic drinks. We placed an order for the table. The food was delivered quickly. The drinks took a little longer. The food was spectacular. I haven't had chicken that juicy in a long time. I didn't care for the BBQ sauce that came with the meal but it really didn't need it anyway. It's too sweet for me. The pickled onions are fantastic and even though the pickles are bread and butter, my least favorite pickle, they were also good. I ordered Mac and cheese and rice and broccoli casserole. Both were delicious. My husband ordered the turkey plate and got potato salad. I really enjoyed his potato salad but the turkey wasn't anything special. I also got a banana pudding to go and it was good. My husband ordered a transfusion and I ordered the white linen. We ended up switching because my drink was essentially a glass of gin. The drinks need a little bit of work but other than that, I'm happy to have found a new BBQ home. read more

The pulled pork sandwich with Alabama White sauce was so good!! Also enjoyed the broccoli & rice casserole. Portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The menu has a great selection of other unique sandwiches and various meats to choose from. We'll be back to try more!! read more

I can't believe this pace doesn't have any reviews yet, it's DELICIOUS! It's hard to find yummy brisket around here and they hit the spot. I got the big brisket plate with two sides. I came home and made two grilled brisket sandwiches and still had meat left. My sides were potato salad and coleslaw. Both were really good. The only negative thing I have to say is the coleslaw had more onions than what I'd like but I don't like purple onions at all. Will most definitely be going back and soon! read more

Had their Sunday smoked wings and pulled pork meat side. I gotta say that "you get what you pay for," is for real here. The amount of food, the taste and flavor was way above expectations. Tots and okra were great! Left satisfied and a believer. read more

I lived in TX for twelve years so I consider myself a brisket snob. Yall, this brisket was THE TRUTH. Juicy, flavorful, and a perfect amount of smoke flavor. Decently priced too! I also like that they make their ranch from scratch. I wasn't a fan of the Mac and cheese, but I'm very picky when it comes to Mac and cheese so I'll give them a pass. I really wanna try the "baked potato" potato salad they have on the menu. I'll definitely be back when I need my brisket fix!!! read more

After a long day fishing on the lake this group of Northerners needed some Southern hospitality. Tell that's what we found here. A place to fill our empty bellies. The food was delicious, comfort food and everything we needed! The service was outstanding and kind. This was everything we hear about the south being....and more! We would have given 4.5 stars, but it wasn't an option. read more

Had lunch here. I loved the vibe. Laid back and relaxed. The ladies working the counter were great. I explained my issues with dairy and eggs. They immediately started checking on what I would be able to enjoy. Most of the meat they serve is good to go. They even confirmed which bbq sauce I could enjoy. They went above and beyond to make sure I was good. I highly recommend this restaurant. I had the pulled pork (no bun because it contained ingredients I can't eat) it was amazing. I'll definitely be going back. read more

Only a year old and already making a name for themselves within the community: great service, atmosphere, food and drinks. Not only do they have a solid set menu, they also offer unique and inspired daily/weekly specials. From the jalapeño margarita (16 oz glass) and fried okra appetizers, to the smoked tri-tip sandwich and tri-tip plate with a jalepeno cheddar sausage (sides: mac and cheese, and broccoli and cheddar casserole), finished with a classic banana pudding; we cannot wait to come back. All dishes were texturally perfect, seasoned with balance, and priced very thoughtfully for the portion size. We have been looking for a go to BBQ place in Augusta, and this place is it, with intention in all they do. read more

Once again using my favorite app to find hidden gems. We stop by Smoke & Barrels. I had the Tri-Tip with okra and Mac&Cheese. The smoke on the meat was a nice balance. Even though I could have had more Smokey flavor. But that's what I like. The Mac&Creese was more like a casserole. Thick and cheesy. And what can you say about fried okra. It was very good as well. If you leave here hungry. It's your own fault read more

Service was great ambiance was ok and place was clean. I ordered the onion pieces which were warm but tasteless , the tri tip was plentiful and thick sliced but cold and bland, natty's sauce was sweet and when the meat was dipped into all you would taste is the sauce, this restaurant was expensive with what they delivered to my table read more

Brisket was not great but not bad, I was a little disappointed and the collards were I don't know about it but I will try again given I stay in Riverwood. read more

The young girl that took our order was extremely nice and very helpful with suggestions. Everything we got was really good. The nachos, tri tip, turkey, mac & cheese, collards and broccoli/rice casserole. The cole slaw was some of the best I've had. Not cheap but you get huge portions of meat and the quality was great. Well worth the money. read more

You get your firstl drink but servers will come and assist you after that the food was good even though the pulled pork was cold it was really good okra was nice hot the beans were warm could be a little more flavor in my opinion, but we're still adequate.

It wasn't bad or anything but wasn't anything about the food that stood out. It's middle of the road barbecue.

The staff was so very friendly and prompt with questions and serving food! The quality of food just isn't there. Staff is GREAT and atmosphere is awesome, just didn't care for the food at all! The greens tasted like canned greens, the ribs were drier than I prefer, and the mac and cheese was awful, dry and no flavor! I hate giving such a bad review to such nice people, they really are great! read more

First visit to this restaurant. Arrived after the lunch crowd had left. We were promptly greeted by the manager/owner and staff. Very friendly and inviting. The restaurant was clean and welcoming. No loud music or blaring TV's and comfortable sitting. I was craving a brisket sandwich that wasn't on the menu, but they made one that was delicious. Also had the sweet potato tots as an appetizer- ummm good. And a side of macaroni and cheese. The sweet tea was perfect. Our server was very attentive and the owner/manager even checked in. Will definitely be returning. read more

We came late at the end of the day and although most of the meats we wanted were out and understandable since the restaurant is closed for the next 2 days, the meat we ordered were delicious. The sausage, chopped beef, and chicken were amazing. Even better was the customer service. Our waitress, Jessica, was very accommodating. The manager or owner was awesome and came out to apologize for the meat shortage and offered a discount for the next time we come back. Unfortunately, we were on our road trip from California. Anyway, they went above and beyond to prepare a banana pudding for us to take to go even though they claimed they were out. We are very impressed with the food and customer service. Thank you. Would love to come back next time we are in the East Coast. read more

10/10 all around! Food is consistently great and service is always so good! Employees are super kind and make sure you get the best food and service possible. The restaurant is counter service, but if you sit in the bar area you get a server or bartender to take your orders for you. Get the broccoli and rice casserole - my favorite!! read more
