    The smoke and donuts cafe is so quaint and welcoming!! It gives a small town down home vibe despite being in the heart of downtown Orlando. I do love the friendly and super knowledgeable staff such as Ian who took time to guide us through the menu. Their bbq turkey is sooo yummmy!! I found their Brussels sprouts equally delicious and also perfectly balanced in crispiness and juicy.

    So, I've been dying to try this place. Like for awhile. Worked out today. I hate the lack of parking that was offered, but for a good meal, I'll suck it up. The vibes inside are cool and there's patio seating for anyone who wants some fresh air. Orange donut: pretty good. Soft and full, flavor was pretty bangin too. Probably my favorite thing about the meal. Honey corn fritters: these were a fail for me. They were just alright. Didn't remind me of grabbing a corn fritter from big mommas house. They were lacking something. Pork rinds: these were so good. It was sweet hearing the cracking as they were brought to the table was sweet! The dipping sauce was nice too I ordered the meat sampler. Brisket, smoked sausage, and smoked Turkey. The smoked Turkey was my favorite thing on the menu. The flavor was great with the spiced rub on the top. The smoked sausage was alright. But the brisket was pretty good! Juicy? Yes. Full of flavor? Yes This place is pretty cool. The donuts were ballin and the meat was phenomenal. The sides were not great. Idk if I talked about the max and cheese but I made better Mac the night before. So, that was a bummer. I'm obviously gonna come back and give the other sides a try because the meats were that good. Overall a solid 4 out of 5 for me. Oh yeah; the cornbread was cold. That was a bummer.

    Looking for something different. I saw Smoke & Donuts on TikTok. The beauty in the way the food was presented, I had to try it. One of my greatest foodie choices I've ever made. Everything was delicious. You can taste each ingredient as described on the menu. The tenderness of the pork belly is phenomenal. The biscuit is soft and flavorful, the fried cabbage and pickled jalapeño for the Williamsburg blends perfectly. My cocktail was nice. I would've love to have a vodka upgrade choice but it was still good. The Belly Banh mi, is so filling and refreshing.

    pulled pork sandwich

    We came here for lunch on a Saturday & loved it! They offer a free hot glazed donut with every bbq order right now, which we didn't realize until they walked out with them after we sat down. The best donut I've ever had, and I don't usually like glazed donuts. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of Brussels sprouts, and my husband ordered slice brisket with a side of Mac & cheese and baked beans. They have sauces on the side that you can add if you like as well. Everything was very tasty and we will definitely be back!

    The Cheepees Donut

    The BBQ was very good and customer service was friendly/helpful. I ordered the Brisket Sandwich. My friend ordered the Low Country Reuben both with fries. I liked the sauces they had available as well. I was able to taste both sandwiches. The brisket was tender and not dry. Loved that. I had never tasted anything like the Reuben before I like it as well. I didn't love my doughnut lol I was too full to eat it after my sandwich so I saved it for later and it just wasn't what I expected. It was very delicious looking though. I would try this food truck again.

    What a wonderful experience! I've heard wonderful things about this location and it's food truck and had to try it! Smoke and donut is inside this cigar bar! They're one in the same! At first, I thought I was in the wrong place, but thankfully I figured it out! The restaurant has a nice chill/rustic old time atmosphere! I loved it the second I walked in! The smell of leather on the seats and delicious smoked meats! Josh greeted me on entering, and Katrina was super friendly and very helpful with making my first experience memorable! I had the donut slider duo (one pork, one brisket) on donut "buns". They were delicious! The Smokey flavor of the meats paired well with the sweetness off the donuts. I was expecting a more savory donut, but it was still delicious! I choose to pair my meal with the "Cole slaw". I love that it wasn't a traditional slaw with a heavy mayo base. It was a light salad like side with a vinegar base! Katrina was very kind and gave me a run down on the different sauces they had at the sauce bar. They were all really good! The mustard sauce Was lovely with the Cole slaw! After lunch, I got a tour of the up stairs balcony area. What a beautiful venue! It had such a nice atmosphere. I could see it being used for many types of events, and not be limited to traditional event set up! I will be back!! This place is a gem among the common places in Orlando!

    Rainbow Glazed Donut
    Amelia M.

    So I finally tried Smoke & Donuts after many suggestions to do so. I however only had enough room left in my belly for one donut. The donut was delicious. I am however giving a 4 out of 5 star rating though because my donut was not hot like I was expecting. I will say, I got the build your own donut and loved the generous amount of toppings provided on my donut. But if you are looking for just a sprinkle of sprinkles, or touch of glaze, maybe just get their plain jane donut. You pay $1 per topping so they give you your whole $1 worth! I would also like to say that although I have not tried it myself, I have heard multiple times over that their smoked turkey is outstanding.

    Brisket
    Renee K.

    A bit on the heart clogging side but incredible flavors none the less. Donuts are great when they're reallllyy fresh, and begins to break apart if you're a slow eater and the juices from the meat get absorbed by the dough. If you're a light eater, I would recommend getting like one donut since they can be on the heavy side. The side salad balances the brisket well so that you can cleanse your pallet and go in again

    Brisket platter
    Alex G.

    Ate lunch here with two friends yesterday. One was running late and the manager asked if we wanted him to keep her food under a heat lamp for her, which we thought was so nice and thoughtful. I was a big fan of Smoke and Donuts when they were at A La Cart. Happy they have their own brick and mortar now! It's very cute inside and is a great place to meet friends or have a solo meal. I got the brisket platter which comes with two sides and cornbread plus some pickles and onions. It was a little more than what I typically like to spend for a weekday lunch but I had leftovers and was able to make two meals out of it, so actually it wasn't bad. They do have lunch specials and lots of other sandwiches which are more typical lunch pricing. The brisket was great and actually my favorite part of the meal was the green beans! I would rush back for those green beans, which is not something I'd ever think I'd hear myself say. They also do catering and I used them for Thanksgiving 2022 and they were great. Their donuts are also delicious (and I'm not a donut person). Check them out if you haven't already!

    PB&J donut
    Grady S.

    I had the opportunity to hangout with Ian, the owner of S&D at A la Carte and what a fun experience. From humble beginnings - and one 4x8 smoker in his yard. Ian has built his incredible bbq empire into a full menu food truck beast. What's most impressive is not only does Ian have Brisket and Turkey to Rival that of any Orlando competitor, the donuts are absolutely bar none. To do both sweet and savory so well in one delicious package is something you absolutely have to see for yourself. - The drinks you see are from A La Carte . The rotating drink menu is highlighted on their wall of clipboards and is a really clever way to show the seasonal drinks of the all outside eating area. Maddy chose their seasonal sour and I got their nitro cold brew. - Straight from the pit I was able to try the Brisket, the pulled pork and the Turkey. All 3 are so delicious that they need no accoutrement, although they do offer 6 unique sauces designed to highlight the history of bbq in the United States. I got to experience their sauces in a cool little flight and I gotta say their BBQ ranch is outta this world. - The Miami style cuban brought 300 miles north is Ian's spin on the Florida classic. It includes a dill relish, Mayo and pickles. Pressed and hot with pulled pork the sandwich was fantastic. Another dish not quite from the pit but equally as impressive was the cucumber and radish slaw that paired with the smoked meats so so well. It was such a well designed balance for accompanying a rich and smoky meal. - LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THESE DONUTS FAM - As an aspiring foodie I have become increasingly picky with my taste in donuts. I feel like a good donut is supposed to be airy, fluffy, and absolutely packed with flavor. I'm pleased to say these hot fried circles are incredible. The glaze is smooth and light, and the fry is perfect. Every bite I took absolutely melted in my mouth. On top of the donuts being technically perfect, the unique twist brought by the smoke and donuts team is exactly the edge needed to really step away from every other bbq spot in the city. PB&J, bourbon maple glaze, and a vanilla glaze with a mountain of chocolate chips (STEVIE-PAUL) were just some of the creations I got to try.

    Gluten-free donuts? How likely is it?

    Hi Natasha, thank you for the question. At this time we do not make a gluten-free donut. We have plenty of gluten-free bbq, though!:)

    Chef Kelvin is an absolute class act. The entire experience with him from first contact to event…read moreand after was amazing. My family traveled from all over and met up in a VRBO in Orlando (9 adults, 5 kids) to celebrate my dad's 75th birthday. He wanted to have a party and since I love food, I volunteered to take care of the catering. I had been working with a company on plans for the event 6 weeks prior, but 3 weeks before the event, they suddenly realized that it was a Sunday and they don't cater on Sundays. Talk about frustrating! Add to that, April is wedding season in Orlando and it was Easter Sunday. Well, Chef Kelvin to the rescue. His communication was absolutely ideal. From first filling out the contact form on his website, I had fun picking out the menu items and he worked with me on ensuring there was a good variety and one of our allergies was kept in mind. He reached out the day before to confirm everything, and then was extremely communicative the day of. His staff was so pleasant, and they were all respectful and helpful the day of the event. Absolute ideal communication throughout the process for me. And THE FOOD! OMG! It was so good. We definitely had too much, which was my plan (I always prefer to have too much, running out is no fun at a party). We kept some of the leftovers at the rental and our local family (4 adults, 1 kid) took some home too and enjoyed them. Chef came prepared with takeaway boxes and was able to package it all up for us. Here's what we ordered with a bit of commentary :) - Lamb Chops (I adore lamb and this was so well executed. He confirmed desired temp and nailed it) - BBQ Pulled Pork (this was a party favorite!) - Chicken Wings (loved the crispy skin and sauce, so good) - Pop Corn Chicken Bites (super popular with everyone! And reheated really well) - Shrimp Skewers (more popular than I had expected!) - Garlic Mash (my husband keeps raving about this. It was fantastic) - Garlic Bread (bread is always good!) - Baked Mac & Cheese (fantastic fresh and amazing reheated in the oven) - Smoked Cream Corn (my favorite, this was SO GOOD) - Garden Salad (in retrospect not needed, but I wanted to provide something green haha!) Honestly do not hesitate - reach out to Chef Kelvin for your event. You will not be disappointed. I'm so glad my original plan didn't work out.
