    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.

    Build your own bowl
    Mai M.

    I ordered the 1 lb of prime smoked brisket, yes a whole pound because I make good life choices, it came with Texas toast and coleslaw. The brisket? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. The kind of food that makes you close your eyes while chewing. Then I built my own bowl like I was on a episode of Barbecue Showdown-- mac & cheese base, smoked brisket (again, because why not double down), fried onions, hot Cheetos, and pickles on the side for balance (health, obviously). 10/10 would build again. PLUS they had a buy-one-get-one on craft beers, which felt like the universe saying "you deserve this." Beers were ice cold and went down way too easy. The environment was super welcoming, with a chill outdoor seating area that's ideal for get togethers. Every employee I interacted with was friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there. You can really feel the good vibes. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to with friends and family. Highly recommend

    Lunch special

    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.

    Nashville Vegan Sandwich
    Diana L.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Child's burger
    Patty S.

    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
    Mike T.

    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.

    1/2 Lb Sliced Brisket
    Tina-mae M.

    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.

My husband and I have been wanting to try the Ube sliders for a while, and we decided to get that. We also go the Panda Style fries with spam. When we got our food, everything looked so delicious. We've had the Panda Style Fries before. And it never disappoints. The fries have great taste from the seasoning to the sauce. And the spam brings out that saltiness the fries need. I love the grilled onions on top. We usually eat it from the top to the bottom, so we usually don't get much sauce or toppings when we get to the bottom. I think it's meant to be mixed, but we don't want it to get mushy. The be sliders were good. The patty, sauce, and grilled onions were good. The Ube bread didn't have much Ube taste to us (imo). And I felt like I was getting more bread than the actually patty and what was inside the burger. I felt like I could have used more sauce to soften up the dry texture I get from the bed. But overall it was good. This place is located inside the Steelcraft so it has a nice, chill ambiance. The place can get busy, especially when they are showing games. But a nice place to hang out and chill over some food and drinks.

The earlier you come, the more dessert options you'll have. They also have all day breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu which I did not try, but everything looked super tasty. I got a few desserts and a matcha strawberry foam latte (they use ceremonial grade matcha) and the biscoff latte. Loved that both weren't overly sweet and the biscoff latte had a rich coffee taste. My favorite dessert by far was the banana mousse. By the time we left, the line was out the door. Even though it was packed, the servers are super friendly and take the time to make sure you're enjoying yourself. Definitely a must try place if you're in Downey. No need to go to LA to try those over hyped dessert places. One Twelve Cafe does it just as good, if not better and they have many more tasty options to choose from.
