    Always close parking for me. Restaurant has always been kept up, clean, and spacious. Service has always been great for me; inviting, welcoming, friendly, nice and professional. Was definitely my go to spot for a brisket grilled cheese sandwich with Mac n cheese on the side. Haven't been able to locate a spot since.

    Lunch special
    Adriana L.

    Good food and great music! I loved the vibe of this place, especially the outdoor indoor concert. The food was also amazing. Prices are reasonable & the workers were patient and willing to answer any questions. So glad we stopped here! They also have lunch specials.

    Plenty of seating inside

    Smoke & Fire has always been a family favorite, so I was excited to see a location closer to home--no more driving to La Habra or Anaheim! We've tried the Big Texan, Brisket Quesadilla, Smash Burgers, and Texas-Style Brisket Fries--everything was delicious. The brisket is super moist and not overly salty, and the BBQ sauce is spot on. Portions are generous, so come hungry! Only downside: the waffle fries don't hold up well--definitely best eaten fresh. Staff was friendly and helpful with recommendations. Overall, a solid spot for BBQ cravings!

    Texas Style Brisket Fries
    Alyeska G.

    The flavor was there but the details missed. The food took 25 minutes to come out even though there wasn't a lot of people. The staff were really nice though. Plenty of parking, beer selection & inside/outside seating. Smoked Brisket Fries -- the brisket itself had good flavor along with the bbq sauce. It was super tender and moist. They barely put any cheese on the fries, which was a bummer. The fries themselves were so hard they had a crunch and felt like chips that I ended up leaving most of them. Pretzel -- soooo delicious, soft and fluffy. The cheese has really good flavor it just hardens really quickly so make sure to eat first. Texas Beef Brisket Grilled Cheese -- this was a win. Really complex flavors with the good brisket. Nailed it.

    Ordered takeout and tried the vegan mushroom burger - it was good but could've used a bit more sauce since it was a little on the dry side. Definitely my fault for not going for one of their meat options - the BBQ smelled amazing. I'll definitely come back to try the BBQ next time!

    9/10 Brisket Quesadilla - $13.99 (before tax). The outside is super cheesy. So so so yummy. It gives it a crunchy texture. It comes with a ton of brisket as well. 8.5/10 Mac and Cheese- $5.00 (before tax). I love the noodles they use for this mac and cheese. Its pretty cheesy and full of flavor. I warn you that they throw tons of pepper on the mac and cheese. Personally, I love pepper so it didn't bother me.

    Smoke brisket

    I will say the food was good, the brisket was super tender, flavorful. I loved the waffle fries, very crispy and yummy. On the other hand, my server was not friendly at all, even though I told her this was my first time here. It was like she did not care at all. The tables were dirty, I had to clean my own table. I might return again to give them a second chance but just because the food was great.

    3 jumbo chicken tender: Not the same anymore... !!! My family and I used to love their chicken tenders but it's not the same anymore!! This is the second time we felt this way. Last time we let that go as maybe it was just that time but it happened again today. 1. They're still jumbo but so thick and the bread wasn't on one tender. And bread fell off from 2 other tenders. Not crispy at all. It's like we were eating non-breaded chicken tender with no flavor. 2. We like their pickles so we order an extra pickles as a side for $1.50. Then we didn't have any pickle slices in our tender boxes that we ordered. 3. The toast was on the bottom of the all 3 tenders so by the time we got to eat, it was so soggy. We were so displeased with our order today. We really liked 3 jumbo tenders but we WILL NOT order them ever again. We normally enjoy everything we order here but we started questioning today. So disappointed..

    Mac and cheese brisket.
    Joni T.

    Honestly, this food is super duper delicious!!! Seriously, comfort food on steroids. We have tried quite a few items on the menu. But, so far all time favourite is the mac and cheese brisket. Perfect. We usually do take out, but we always get our food in a timely manner. It the food is always hot. Perhaps one day we will dine in, so I can't comment on ambiance.

    So so so good. The portions are huge. So sharing is the way to go. The lemonade is not too sweet... so that means it was perfect. It's a family ambiance. The staff is nice and polite. It's Pat at the register, get a number and they bring to your table. Casual, laid back and everyone is easy going. All in all a good place.

    Smash Burger

    I was in the mood for brisket, we were in the area and had about an hour to eat. We found this establishment and decided to try it. They have a good size parking lot in the back. Bbq smoke is billowing out the top of the restaurant. I took this as a good sign. Once inside you order at the counter, then they give you a number and you find a table. I had the half pound brisket plate with a side of Mac and cheese. My daughter had the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, medium heat. My wife ordered the smash burger. They had quite a few craft beers on tap. Villains west coast ipa is what I chose. Maybe 15 minutes our food is brought out. The brisket was 2 giant slices. The meat had a nice bark, the meat is pull apart tender and the flavor is perfect. Sliced pickles coleslaw and a couple of slices of toasted bread are served on the side. The Mac and cheese is creamy. My daughter's chicken sandwich is spicy. I tried a bite and the heat was present but not over powering. The spice level was perfect for a medium. The waffle fries were good and served with a side of ranch. The smash burger was really cheesy. The melted cheese with the crispy meat patty was outstanding. I was really surprised and impressed that 3 very different meals were all executed perfectly. A smoked meat, a fried chicken breast and a flat top grilled beef patty. Bravo to the kitchen staff. If we are ever in the area, we are definitely coming back.

    My husband and I are new to the area and my cousin recommended Smoke and Fire. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by one of the nicest host/cashiers, Ms. Judith. She was so kind and offered great recommendations since it was our first visit. We already knew we wanted brisket, but we were pleasantly surprised to see a smash burger on the menu (our absolute favorite type of burger). We ended up ordering the smash burger and the brisket plate. Since that first visit, we've come back and ordered the exact same thing because it was just that good. The smash burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly for us. It wasn't greasy, and the soft buns made it even better. The brisket was super tender and smoky, and when paired with their BBQ sauce, it was absolutely delicious. Even the slaw that came with it was surprisingly good, and not every place gets slaw right. The dining area is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great spot for groups, dates, or even a casual meal alone. They also have a wide variety of beers on tap. (I don't drink, so I can't say much more than that, but the selection looked impressive.) Parking is available, though the lot is shared with other restaurants. It can get a little packed during certain times, but it's manageable. Overall, we're so glad we found this place. Friendly staff, amazing food, and a welcoming atmosphere make it a spot we'll definitely keep coming back to.

This review is for the Paramount location. I got a few items: Dino rib, pork ribs, brisket, sausage, mac and cheese and corn bread. I'll start with the positives. The mac and cheese and corn bread were decent. Also they took 15 minutes to give me all the varied food I ordered which should have been my red flag to run, but I decided to live dangerously and was punished severely for it. Now on to the travesty, the meat. The theme for today was dry, old and shameless. The pork was somehow undercooked and dry. Which if you can endure the cruelty, is actually kind of impressive. The brisket resembled beef jerky. I'm including pictures of the brisket since those speak much more eloquently than I can. I love to cook and I infamously over season my dishes. But all these meats were at a whole another level. Not salty but aggressively peppery and just ham handed. The rub was flavorful but it blew out my palette instantly. Please take this to heart: less is more. In terms of meat quality? Cheap. My Dad is a butcher, I can tell. Everything being reheated did the meat quality no favors either. The seasoning was further exacerbated because the ribs, both dino and pork, were almost entirely bone. So you have a ton of seasoning on a lick of meat. It was a recipe for disaster. And price? Expensive, especially for what I received. Insulting for what I received. I'll end it here. I don't want to waste your time like this place wasted mine.

I've been here a few times before, mainly for the sides, but after this experience I honestly don't know if I'll return. I ordered a lunch chicken plate and was never told it would take over 40 minutes. Had I known, I either wouldn't have ordered or would have asked for a refund much sooner. Meanwhile, customer after customer who ordered after me received their food before I did. When I finally got my order, there was no apology or acknowledgment of the delay. I asked if there was anything they could do for the inconvenience, and the only thing offered was a free slushy. I don't even drink soda. A side dish or something more thoughtful would have made more sense. To make matters worse, when I got home, the chicken portion was very small and the two sides were tiny about the size of dressing cups. It's disappointing because I actually do like their flavors, but good food only goes so far when the customer service experience is this poor.
