Parking: Plenty available Ambience: Very relaxed vibes, can move tables to accommodate large groups Service: It's an order and go sit down type of place, but I would say standard, no complaints! Taste: Got the Smash burger fries and the BBQ brisket fries. The fries themselves were decent, but the meats were meh and there was too much cheese and sauce over everything for my liking. It's definitely a very heavy meal. Good place for groups!

Overall it was good. I got the brisket with Mac and cheese, for me the brisket was a bit too salty but my husband said it was good for him. It is a lot of food for the price so that's a plus! Meat was very tender and soft! Would come back to try other things on the menu. The chicken tenders were also very good, chicken was moist and not dry and skin very crunchy (my fave)

Ok you fans of Craft by Smoke this is your next barbecue stop. If you enjoy the craftsmanship of a true smoker you'll definitely these meats. Just to test the waters before diving into their major cuts I ordered a couple of tacos. First up was the short rib brisket Birria tacos and if you are a fan of sloppy saucy tacos then these are for you. Up next was their brisket tacos with a curtido slaw and cheese blend. If you enjoy the tacos that are busy then this is another score. I personally like them a little more plain but that is just me but I can tell you that the smokiness of the wood really comes through in the meat. Service was ok but what do you expect from a couple of teens. And that's my take, Peace out.

Smoke & Fire is a classic American restaurant known for its bbq dishes and brews on tap. They have plenty of options for meat lovers looking for a hearty meal. This location is near Keck Graduate Institute and there's a big parking lot in front of the restaurant. You can order food from a waiter in the front and you'll get a number for a staff member to bring you your food. I didn't get what I ordered (Nashville hot chicken fries) but they threw in a free mac n cheese bite, and I ended up eating the Nashville hot chicken sando. The sandwich had a good ratio of chicken to bread to coleslaw but the flavor was a little sour and spicy for my liking. The ambiance inside can be described as casual - it's a great place for a big group or a first date. The service is good and the food came out relatively quick.

Gwen was the star of our experience and went above and beyond with our food and drinks. We later went to and ordered more and Reyes was also great. We sat outside on the dog friendly patio, which is fully enclosed and has a small cooling unit. It's definitely not as cold as inside, but it is a pleasant temperature. They have free pup patties which is really nice and a dog water bowl. While the service was 5/5 the food itself was closer to a 4. The food portions were generous but the bbq sauce was very sweet. Mac & cheese: 4/5 Lemonade: 5/5 Beer: 4/5 Hot chicken Burrito: 5/5 Brisket fries: 4.5/5 Chicken tender: 4/5

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile so when I found this location near where I was working that day I jumped at the chance to try it. My only complaint was that they did not honor the Yelp Check-In for a free lemonade. I paid for a lemonade then realized while I was eating that there was a lemonade check in so I gulped down my drink only to be told "we've been trying to get Yelp to take that off, we don't do that anymore." Well that sucked cuz the lemonade was actually good. But anyways ... The food was delicious, I got the brisket fries and a charcoal lemonade. The lemonade was refreshing and the fries were a Perfect combo of crispy, sweet and tangy. The bbq sauce was good, the pickles were crisp and the cilantro added freshness. The menu has a lot of options that I'd been willing to try, but I do wish the check in would be removed ! As far as the ambiance, the place was decent sized, clean and not too loud. I didn't have to wait long but there was a steady stream of customers after me and even a line at one point. All in all, I'd be excited to try the location by me.

The service at Smoke and Fire was outstanding. Imani was very courteous and attentive, she was so kind and brought my dog a bowl of water and a pup patty. Imani truly made our experience memorable. The food as always is great and fresh.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while, and I was super excited when we got the opportunity. We came on a Friday night around 7:30 and it was a little busy. When you walk in, you order what you want, then go sit down. It's not really a restaurant style spot. Ordering was very easy, and their menu has lots of options. They also offer a lot of alcohol beverages as well. They were pretty nice and even let us sample the lemonade. I was skeptical of their charcoal lemonade, but it tasted just like regular lemonade. We ended up getting the strawberry lemonade, and my bro got the charcoal. We ordered the brisket fries, brisket quesadilla, and brisket burrito. When it came out, the fries were already starting to get cold.. however, the taste was pretty good. It could have used more sauce and brisket. It just needed more. The brisket burrito was stunning to look at the taste, which was awesome. It had some cheese, mac and cheese, and brisket. I also had some bbq sauce in the side to dip. It was very good. I definitely recommend it. My wife got the brisket quesadilla. She enjoyed it but was pretty full after the fries. Overall, it was good, but if everything was hot when it came out, that's what would have put this over the top. Great spot!

I had the classic smash burger. The patty was given a proper smash, perfectly cooked and juicy. The Martin potato roll, sweet carmelized onions, pickel and the secret sauce were perfect supporting players. The vinegar-based coleslaw was a great side dish with a nice tang. I also tried their cornbread, which was moist and delicious. The ordering is done at the counter near the entrance. The dining area is a post-modern converted greasy spoon, which was probably a Denny's at one time, with sports channels on.

Very roomy and spacious interior with clean bathrooms. Brisket fries: - so good. Seasoned waffle fries. Brisket has a sweet bbq marinade on it. Mac & cheese: Delicious and cheesy! Brisket plate: Comes with slaw which is an honorable mention!! Pickles, Texas toast, and brisket. Falls apart and melts in your mouth!! BBQ sauce comes on the side. both brisket items come with warm soft cornbread. This spot is great!! come here with an empty stomach!

I never really noticed this place until my dad got placed at a nursing home down the street, and then I was driving by it twice a day. So I decided to order some takeout -- Texas Beef Brisket Grilled Cheese sandwich, Lauren's Salad, and a Giant Bavarian Pretzel. The sandwich was a big delicious indulgence, and the only way I could ease the guilt is by ordering the salad which was such a healthy treat --lettuce, green apples, beets, avocado, goat cheese. I could eat one of these salads every day! And they're not kidding when they say Giant Bavarian pretzel. That thing was as big as my head and took me a couple of days to eat my way through it. Lots of options here, and if you're dining in, beer and wine are available. I'll definitely come back, and next time I want to try the fried Mac N Cheese balls Hot Cheetos style.

Came in to get some tasty bbq with friends who haven't tried it . We got brisket tacos, fries, a bowl, and the chicken sandwich. We did want to try more but theres always next visit . They do update their menu so they're on top of having the go-tos and trying out new creative items .

I go back and forth with rating this restaurant with a 3 or a 4, so let's say 3.5 overall. I've been to Smoke & Fire a handful of times and have had different experiences every time. The first time I tried this place out, we ate in the restaurant and it was a great experience. The food was good (got their smash burger and waffle fries and my husband got their Texas beef brisket grilled cheese). Brisket is good and they have a variety of offerings. They also have ample parking so it's easy to get to. I'll refrain from detailing every visit, but the next few visits had very long waiting times. After ordering one time, we waited about 30-45 minutes before our food was brought out and a couple of times we left before ordering because we were told the wait for food would take close to an hour. Kind of a bummer. The last visit, this past weekend, we decided to order online which seemed the best way to go. We ordered the Stockberger (which was a lot and thankfully it was something we shared) along with the brisket waffle fries. Even though the restaurant itself was busy, our food was ready at the requested pickup time, so it seems that that is the best way to go.

Giant Pretzel with Cheese Sauce THE BEST JERRY!!!

LOCATION: located in Pomona/La Verne, on foothill Route 66 populated location great parking spaces didn't have trouble looking for it SERVICE: service was great right when you walk in and they explain it's an order at the kiosk and they will bring the food to you pretty simple. It was not busy going at noon on a Saturday, seemed a bit dead. I thought the inside/outside would be more inviting and lively, was a little shocked by that but still great customer service FOOD: Food was extremely good and the beef brisket was so flavorful and tender when we cut it, it did no disappoint and the reviews we saw made sense with the quality of the food. The toast was perfectly soft and toasty and the potatoe salad was one of the best I've had! The BBQ did not disappoint and we will forsure be back to try the fries and tacos. read more

Mmmm....brisket! Mouthwatering meaty bits of tenderness! My husband asked for crispy fries and wow, were they! Their super crunch held up beautifully to cheese and juicy meat. My brisket bowl was filled with juicy, fork tender brisket. Mmm, mmm, mmm!!! We found out that they're moving locations, from Pomona to Ontario where Applebee's used to be. That makes us happy as they'll be even closer! read more

I came here since my family has been looking for a local bbq place that sold brisket. I chose to get 2 pounds of their brisket to-go; $26 for 1 pound. The wait time was not long and the food was well packaged. The brisket was a bit dry for my family, it did have a nice smoke ring. I do like the toast that came with it. The order came with sliced pickles and coleslaw. The coleslaw was ok, it was bland and a bit dry. Large area for seating and another separate area for waiting to-go orders. The restroom is clean and the staff is nice with plenty of parking outside. read more

Loved our brisket tacos and salad. We are very sad to see the obvious signs this place is in dire straits and fear it won't be around much longer. 1. The place looked closed; shades drawn, signs not lit, landscape lights off. Don't pass it up! 2. The inside lighting is brackish with cool white LEDs...like a hospital cafeteria. 3. Sadly, there's only a girl running the front, bussing, and cleaning. Poor thing, but she kept a smile and was very pleasant. 4. Just one cook. We had over 10 orders ahead of us, and we had to wait over a half hour and we're thankful it wasn't longer. So...good job. I see the menu was simplified a bit and prices reduced. We sure hope it stays around! Light it, clean it, warm it, and make it look fresh and they will come...it's great food! read more

I go back and forth with rating this restaurant with a 3 or a 4, so let's say 3.5 overall. I've been to Smoke & Fire a handful of times and have had different experiences every time.

Well, so heres a couple of things. Only the 2nd tome Ive come here but what a different outcome. We waited for about 15-20 minutes JUST TO ORDER. I know what your thinking, 2 parties a head of us; thats it. There just wasn't a sense of urgency to take the order and move on. Employee taking orders was single staffed which is the reason for such a long wait. She would also leave the register once an order was taken to help run food and such as well, also leading to the wait time to just order and sit down. The second big thing was the pricing. Boy it is expensive for just one person. I got the Nashville fries and a drink and that was $21 bucks!!! I cant see myself coming back just due to pricing. Food tasted fine its just I could have been out of there much sooner and also really nobody checks on you as well. Thats a lot if money to soend to get no service read more

Not as fire as I was hoping but not terrible... the Mac and cheese was pretty legit with a good amount of oozy cheese. The pickles made it more unique. I think next time I'd ask for the comeback sauce on the side. The chicken, though fried, tasted previously frozen and I hate when I can taste it, the texture is eh. Quick service. Chill ambiance. read more

My first time at Smoke and Fire was okay. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was quite quiet. You order at the counter and take your number to your table. I decided to try the brisket tacos which were delicious! We were also happy to catch happy hour where we got 2 drinks for the price of one. I actually liked the lemonade seltzer. The employees struggled to find the correct channel/app to turn on the World Series game. They had to call their boss to figure it out, but even then it was on the wrong channel. One woman continued to figure it out which she eventually did! Overall the vibe was a little sad, but the tacos was bomb so I plan to visit again. read more

The hype is real! One of the true hidden gems in the Pomona/claremont area. This place just never seems to disappoint! The portions are huge, the flavors are tremendous, and the service is legendary. I went in today for lunch and was promptly greeted by Anna. Anna was super helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. She made a recommendation and I jumped on it.

I most recently tried the brisket grilled cheese, brisket fries, and their smash burger mac and cheese. Everything was shareable and tasty. I also enjoyed their lager called Saca La Bolsita. It was light and crisp. I will be returning soon to enjoy something new. read more

Plenty of parking outside! It's a la carte style BBQ spot. Upon entering, I was greeted with very friendly staff. The interior is fairly dim. The brisket was good! It is what you would expect of BBQ and they gave me waffle fries on the house! It also came with delicious Cole slaw. I did order Mac and cheese as a side but they forgot about it, so I had to go back and ask for it and they gladly provided it with apologies. The Mac and cheese was super creamy, a bit too much liquid, but not horrible and not my favorite either. This is a basic BBQ spot where your taste buds will be satisfied! There are a lot of other fun and unique options on the menu. It's a good option if you're craving some delicious BBQ food! I probably wouldn't come here for a healthy meal, of course ;) I wasn't able to finish my food and they had to go boxes easily ready for you! read more

I don't know how do they break the Yelp system but they always get that 4.5 star elsewhere in every of their stores.... but I never find any quality that they can live up to the standard.... food is cold, salty, service is barely reasonable.... all of the stores were opened in the last 2 years the renovation is fine, nothing wow....

Was in LA and saw this spot on Instagram. We did want to try the giant rib burrito we saw online but I guess this location does not have it on the menu. We ended up ordering way too much food for three people though. Ana took our order and she was great, super helpful with all of questions and let us take our sweet time trying to figure out what to get. I ordered their classic hamburger with coleslaw on the side. Loved the hamburger, super flavorful! Coleslaw was the exact opposite for me...basically 0 flavor. Then we tried the Birria tacos, they had a good flavorful but VERY slaty and I love salt. We also split the Hot Chicken french fries. We all really enjoyed that! Waffle fries were crispy, loved the sauce, chicken was spicy, and all of it together really hit. Oh and we had an order of the soft pretzel bites and cheese, which were pretty decent. Overall if I was in the area I fer sure go back. read more

I usually come in for dinner and get the chicken mac with southern heat. Today, I decided to switch it up, come in at lunch, and try the smash burger fries. Ana added the brisket mac for me to try. I'm glad to report that there was no deviation from the food temperature, taste, and quality of the offerings and service. Everything was tasty as usual! Ana provided great service from taking orders to bringing out the food in a friendly and efficient manner. During downtime, she went around to make sure the tables were clean and wiped down. She did a great job and holding everything down. Kudos to the cook(s) for contributing to maintaining a consistently amazing experience. Cheers! read more

I wish we could rate food and customer service separately but we can't. There was one young man handling the register, running food and answering questions. He was super busy yet still professional and patient. He is a real gem and I hope he's appreciated by management. I would give him 5 stars. The food, on the other hand was not what we were hoping for. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich - no spice, wasn't cooked well. The coating tasted too much like flour and was a complete turn off. It comes with slaw on it but it was very vinegary tonight. I'd give it a 2.5/5 The smash burger was average and earned a 3/5 from the other two party members. We also shared fries which were average as well 3/5 and pretzel bites which were pretty tasty 3.5/5. Overall, it was an average food experience. read more

Such a huge let down. Ambience: Looked pretty dirty, and run down. Service: Girl taking the order was a bit aloof. Service ends there. Also, she couldn't pronounce the word "Halaal", just weird since Halaal meat is one of their main selling points. Food summary: So, so bad. No real taste at all. Everything was kind of cool and definitely stale except for the fries. 1. Quesadilla appetizer: meat had an odd smell, and was ridiculously sweet. The entire quesadilla seemed to have been dipped in a barrel of oil. Nothing was crispy or fresh about it. 2. Nashville chicken sandwich: the chicken patty was extremely thin and very very dry, as if it had severe freezer burn. No actual flavor. The chicken scraped the roof of my mouth with every bite I took. 3. We ordered a few sides and a burger. They were not good... not even worth the energy to write about them sadly. I would definitely not go back and waste money or calories at this establishment. All these positive reviews seem suspicious. read more

In the area had to try Smoke & Fire, all does great reviews with 4.5 stars. Must be doing something right. Plenty of seating indoors, very clean, awesome people. Ordered The. Brisket - Texas brisket wrapped around in grilled cheese. The outer crust of the cheese is nice and crispy and inner part is cheesy with brisket inside topped with, pickles, bbq sauce, all in a Texas toast. Brisket is amazing, literally melting before you take a bite. Side or Mac n cheese - very good, for sure not microwaved read more

My first visit to Smoke & Fire social Eatery. My review is based on the average of the items I tasted and the overall experience. The customer service, cleanliness, and design of the restaurant were all pleasant and customer satisfaction was achieved. You have to order and pay first, before seating. I ordered Mac and cheese, Smash burger , and smoked lemonade. The cashier was so kind to give me a piece of complimentary corn bread. Review: smash burger~ It was like that juicy and flavorful all throughout the burger. Mac and cheese ~ taste like it was made with MILD white cheddar, mostly tasted the pasta noodles (Similar to Panera but not creamy or as good) Smoked lemonade ~ made with charcoal! Different but surprisingly good read more

This is the second Smoke & Fire Social Eatery I have visited (the first being the one in La Habra). I should note I have also visited the Craft (by S&F) in Arcadia and Anaheim - so it's fair to say this is the 4th S&F-family location I have patronized. To absolutely no one's surprise, my experience here was outstanding and consistent with my experiences at the other S&F locations. The food was delicious as always, and the staff was great to interact with (our cashier was the petite blonde woman - I didn't get her name, but she was very professional and helpful). Plenty of parking is readily available at this particular location. read more

To start, Imani had great customer service and was helpful. Restaurant was clean and there was plenty of seating. Absolutely love the wall art and the community board. That's a special touch. The brisket fries looked great, however the fries were cold and were not fresh. I really wanted to enjoy these but it just wasn't it. I think I'm more bummed because it wasn't busy. At the time of dining there were about 3 other parties. Big bummer for me. Nashville hot chicken sandwich was about the only thing that came out hot and fresh. This was delicious. The giant Dino short rib was great ! Lots of flavor and tender. Kids burger was plain but fine. Fries had the same issue. Not fresh. We did order a side of Mac and cheese that was heavily peppered but was okay. I would love to give this place another shot just not sure I actually would. read more

Noticeably worse than other Smoke and Fires. Food: I got the Nashville chicken sandwich (hot), fries, and a strawberry lemonade. The chicken was tough, not crispy, and flavorless except for the sauce they added. It wasn't even spicy. The waffle fries were crispy on the outside but on the inside had a weird rubbery, chewy texture. The lemonade was overly sweet and not tart enough. It tasted more like sugar water than lemonade. I didn't finish my food and left. Ambiance: Smaller and not as well-decorated as other stores in the same franchise. Patio was closed. Overall fine. Service: Cashier was neutral - she seemed bored and not friendly. The guy who brought out the food at least seemed like he didn't hate his job. read more

The dining room is beautifully laid out, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing dinner with family or meeting up with friends. Our waiter was one of the highlights of the experience--friendly, hilarious, and genuinely attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Great service can make or break a meal, and he made us feel welcome from start to finish. Now for the food... absolutely delicious. The Orange Chicken had the perfect balance of crispy texture, sweet citrus flavor, and just the right amount of tang. The Honey Walnut Shrimp was cooked perfectly--crispy, tender, coated in a creamy sauce that wasn't overly sweet, with fresh candied walnuts that added the perfect crunch. Both dishes came out hot and fresh. Everything about this meal--from the service to the food to the ambiance--made for a fantastic dining experience. If you're looking for a Chinese restaurant in the Pomona area with generous portions, flavorful dishes, and outstanding hospitality, this is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

That's basically half the retail cost of an actual head of cabbage. I bet it's the actual cost wholesale. There's being cost conscious and there is being cheap and unserious about descent customer service. Here's a thought, instead of weighing the amount of greens you place in a bowl at the start of the salad build, how about weighing what the customer purchases at the end? Much better model for customer satisfaction and I bet your revenue will increase as well. Until then, stay away from these cheapskates....

The outside of the establishment may not be entirely appealing, but what awaits within is sure to warm your heart. Eating their food feels like an ode from the heart. It is reminiscent of pulling off to the side of the road to a Mariscos food truck in Tijuana. The food is comforting and reminds you of how Hispanic culture brings people together through food and music. All the staff here is very kind and have a lively spirit. As you are enjoying your food it is warming to hear them laughing, enjoying each other's company, and Bad Bunny music of course. I had the Tostada Mixta pictured below and believe it or not I had already dug in and eaten a whole tostada by the time I remembered to snap a pic. The portions are very generous and for the price, can't be beat! The Tacos de Camaron are flavor packed with every bite. These are freshly cooked to order and you can tell by the temperature, be careful. I can't describe them to anything else I have had in the past as they are so unique in the best way. Not pictured is the aguachiles. As spicy as they are, I couldn't find myself putting them down. The flavor keeps you hooked wanting more and more. I am excited to try out a Coctel next and am positive I will have nothing but praise. Definitely worth a try if you are ever out in the area or just passing by. The bang for your buck and the flavor held in each morsel which be nothing short of satisfactory.

The bottomless mimosas ($29.99) sound like a great deal, but just know how they run it. There's a 90-minute minimum, and they don't bring a bottle to the table--you get one mimosa at a time, and you have to finish it before they'll bring another. The first one I got tasted like straight orange juice barely any champagne. I sent it back and to their credit, they remade it much better They mentioned they control pours to keep the environment in check, which I understand--but if you're expecting free-pour vibes, that's not the case here. Food-wise: French toast & breakfast potatoes were really good However the Chilaquiles were super dry and lacked flavor--wouldn't recommend Burger & fries were decent, but nothing special As for drink pricing, it does lean a bit on the higher side. bucket of 5 beers was around $42, $15 for a Tito's vodka shot, and even a basic Jack and Coke came out to about $18 with tip, which felt a little steep for the area. the best deal was definitely the green tea shots at only $9 I will say, our waitress Priscilla was great. She had a lot of tables and seemed a bit overwhelmed, but she still made an effort to check on us and kept my mimosas coming pretty promptly. I didn't have to wait long at all between refills, which I appreciated. Since we went for a special event, the DJs were great and really kept the energy up the whole time Parking was easy. It did say there was a $2 fee, but when we printed the ticket, we weren't charged--so it might be free, but I'd still double-check at the kiosk just in case. Overall: decent spot for the vibe, music, and brunch outing, but just be prepared for controlled drinks and slightly higher prices.

So, the review does not start well but does end better. However, I am going to review based on the food. First off, we were so excited to try this place. I had been Instagram stalking it for over 6 months. We live over an hour away. I reached a weight loss milestone and my reward was pigging out at a place of my choice, so we came here. It was fairly slow. Only a few tables had people. We ordered for a family of 5 and waited about 30min for our order (seemed about normal I guess). However, when the food came, it was not hot at all. It was Luke warm at best which was so disappointing. I took a bite of the large pretzel and it was not warmed at all which was weird (is the pretzel supposed to be warmed?). When I dipped it in the cheese sauce the sauce had a thick film on top (like when cheese sauce sits too long). That set the tone unfortunately for the rest of our meals. We did not finish because the food was just too cold mid-meal. We never got up and complained. But I sort of wish I would have so our food could have been heated and more enjoyable. We decided before we left to give it another shot and order dessert. We got the mud pie. Ordered it at 7:01 (we looked at the receipt). The one slice of pie did not get delivered to the table until 7:29. Almost 30min for one slice of premade pie? We actually got up and started to leave (we were over it) when the girl turned the corner with our pie, so we stayed at ate it. We never complained to any one, we were just so bummed that we drove so far for such an undesirable experience. Someone from the staff must have realized it because as we left, a girl came and gave us a free slice of pie and a gift card that almost compensated our dinner and she was extremely apologetic. I thanked her. I will say, that meant a lot. Especially because it showed someone noticed what happened to our meal. Not sure when we'll be back. But we will try it again at some point. read more

Amazing BBQ and a Smash Burger to Remember! I finally got to try This place and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! I tried the Tri tip, brisket, smash burger, fries, coleslaw, street corn, and cornbread, and each dish brought something special to the table. The smash burger was absolutely incredible--simple yet bursting with flavor. It's one of those burgers that hits all the right notes with its juicy patty and perfect seasoning. The brisket, on the other hand, was tender and juicy, with the fatty bites melting in your mouth. It's clear that a lot of care goes into the preparation, resulting in an experience that any BBQ lover would appreciate. The Tri tip had a very straightforward flavor profile, but when paired with the house BBQ sauce, it really shined. The sauce adds the perfect kick and elevates the meat to another level. As for the sides, they were all delicious. The fries were crispy and well-seasoned, the street corn had just the right amount of sweetness and spice, and the cornbread was a delightful balance of sweet and savory. The only thing that didn't quite hit the mark for me was the coleslaw, but everything else was so good that it was easy to overlook. What made the experience even better was the amazing staff. They were incredibly friendly, answered all my questions, and provided great suggestions on what to try. Their hospitality really added to the overall experience. I really like the no rush atmosphere here. All in all, I highly recommend. I can't wait to come back! read more

This place was recommended to us both by friends and by my son's school. It took us a while to try it out and but we were missing out! Right inside the door your greeted with the delicious smoked meat smells. The staff was very patient as we and 2 other parties that all entered at the same time were all first- timers. You could see they were busy but they greeted all of us immediately and checked in to see if we had questions about the menu. When ordering, they made recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. The place is clean, there's fun artwork on the walls and small plants that pop off the black and grey color scheme. Some walls needed paint touch ups, but to me that made the place feel more realistic, and showed the traffic that they receive. Everywhere surface was extremely clean- no dust or food splatter. The food was very good, great flavor without being overly smoky. The sauce was subtle and sweet, complimenting each dish. The fries alone were a bit dry, but a perfect crisp bite when paired with the brisket. And there were plenty of pieces of stray brisket from the generous helping on the messy but delicious grilled cheese. They were also perfect for scooping up mac and cheese. Overall, nice roomy and clean place, plenty of parking, good portions, friendly and helpful staff, yummy food. We'll be back! read more

I wish there was a way to give this more than 5 stars. Forget for a moment the food. The customer service was absolutely amazing. The orders were correct, the food came extremely fast. The employees checked on us to make sure we were satisfied and needed anything without being intrusive like you get at most restaurants. Jamal, who presents himself in a manner as if he owns the place was one of the best people I've ever dealt with in the food industry. He was very polite and pleasant to deal with. Businesses should model their employees the way this gentleman conducts himself. I would recommend this place because of the customer service alone. Now, the food.....the TikTok videos and Instagram photos you see are exactly what you get. Almost everything was delicious and plentiful. There are a few things I personally felt could have been better, BUT what we had wasn't bad. The Pretzel was amazing by itself. The cheese could have been better, but I was extremely happy with the flavor an consistency of the pretzel by itself. The street corn can also be better. But the rib meat, the brisket, and everything else was exceptional. Finished everything off with the mud pie and smoked cookies and cream! read more

We found this restaurant on Instagram and decided to give it a try because the food looked so good on their IG POST. As soon as we drove up we could smell the goodness from the parking lot. Let me tell you, this place will not disappoint. If I could give them 20 star review I would. It seriously was that dam good. The servings are huge and worth the money which I felt what we got and what we paid was worth every dollar. The service was so inviting, the people were kind and helpful. We had the opportunity to meet the owner who was the nicest person to talk to. We dined in, which there is plenty of room to sit , wall mounted TV, music playing, very clean. We been to a lot of BBQ places and this place SMOKE AND FIRE is killing it. My 2yr old loved the kids 2 chicken tender and criss cut fries. The flavor is just the right amount in every bite. My new favorite #1 spot to eat BBQ. Check out their Instagram page exactly what you see in there post is what you really get. Highly recommend everything on the menu. Other customer we sat next to were also raving how f-bomb delicious the food is... read more

We had dinner at Smoke and Fire Restaurant, and it was great! The place was lively, and the smell of tasty food made us excited for our meal. **Baked Potato with Brisket** The baked potato with brisket was amazing. The potato was cooked just right, and the brisket on top was tender and smoky. There was barbecue sauce and creamy sauce on the brisket, which made it taste even better. The crispy fried onions on top were a nice touch. **Hot Chicken Fries** The hot chicken fries were delicious. The waffle fries were crispy and well-seasoned. The spicy chicken on top was crunchy and tasty. There was a creamy, tangy slaw and pickles on the chicken, which balanced the spice. The sauce drizzled over everything made it perfect. **Mac and Cheese** The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting. The cheese sauce was rich and coated the pasta well. It was a nice side dish to our main courses. **Service** Jacob, our waiter, was awesome. He was friendly, knew a lot about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed. His great service made our meal even better. read more

I don't usually write reviews on here but this was well deserved. As soon as we got to the front we were greeted with amazing customer service. We ordered the brisket burrito and nashville chicken burrito with a side of waffle fries and received a complementary elote cup to "make our first time enjoyable" ! The restaurant itself was very clean and the service was exceptional but the food?... When I tell you every item was a 10/10.. My boyfriend and I were not expecting this to be one of our new favorite spots but we will definitely be coming back again very soon. If you're thinking about visiting, don't give it a second thought, just do it! Our favorite items were the brisket burrito and the elote. I'm literally drooling over the thought of how flavorful the meat was in that burrito and the elote was also topped with some type of crispy onion.. It was a combination neither of us had ever experienced before but it worked so well. Every dish was high quality and to say we were impressed is an understatement. Well done, can't wait to come back! read more

Absolutely one of the best sit down places i've been too. The atmosphere was amazing , food was delicious , and the service was outstanding. Words can't describe just how amazing and savory the brisket grilled cheese is. The Laura's Salad ( i believe that was the name ) was delightful as well. If you happen to be on a diet but want to stop by , that is the way to go. Bella took care of me and my husband for most of the night. She was absolutely phenomenal. Someone give that lady a raise ! I have never had such good customer service in my many many years of eating out ! She seemed genuinely interested and more than happy to be taking care of us as well as everyone around us. She has a genuine personality and seems to love putting smiles on people's faces and that is the type of people we love to see when being taken care of at restaurants. If I could, I would give this place a 100/10 ! Definitely recommend to stop by. Beautiful restaurant as well. I will definitely be returning. And that massive line is definitely worth the wait ! read more

I woke up from my afternoon nap today having a certain slight rumble in my stomach, I truly didn't know what could cure this sudden pain. Seeking the answer I jumped on Yelp to find that a few minutes down the road was a restaurant with the most bad ass name I've ever seen, Smoke & Fire, which perfectly describes my frat life in college but nonetheless I walked into this Beautiful establishment and got a beautiful welcome from Dustin! He was cheffing up in the back with such grace and finesse that even Gordon Ramsey himself would be impressed! Upon gazing the menu my heart desired the brisket burrito, when the beautiful gift from god that was that burrito laid upon my table it sent shivers down my spine that all my ancestors probably felt! The taste of the burrito threw my sock off with no mercy! The establishment was so clean that I would literally eat my burrito straight off the bathroom floor and see nothing wrong with that! I almost felt a heaven type of vibe in this restaurant tonight! Amen to that! All hail smoke and fire read more

Finally got the chance to visit this QUE. I was not disappointed. I have been doing QUE for over 40 years. I am always a little leery of any California QUE. Except for the original Bledsoe's. This is exceptional QUE. The brisket was moist and seasoned just right. I could enjoy the taste of the meat and not just the rub and being over smoked. The brisket came basically one way. chopped. The lean flat and fatty point are combined instead of having the choice. No big deal. The chicken strips were very moist and flavorful. I got one southern style and one order en fuego that was awesome and very spicy The manager Maxwell is professional and very welcoming. The serving sizes are very generous. I can give this an honest comparison that smoke and fire would fit in just fine in Texas. No pork on the menu just great Texas QUE. Also do your self a favor and try the brisket by it self. It needs no sauce, In my world sauce is there to cover up bad QUE. Max you made my time there a great experience. Like walking into Texas. read more

My husband and I went to the Pomona location for the first time today for lunch. We had a hard time deciding what to order because everything looked so great on the menu. We were welcomed by Adrian who was very pleasant, friendly, and provided exceptional customer service. We reached out to him for help to decide what to order. He took his time giving us details of the popular food items and his personal favorites. We ended up ordering the brisket fries and Nashville chicken sandwich. We were pleasantly surprised with how amazing the food was and the beer was great too! Adrian was very accommodating and consistently made sure that we had everything we needed throughout our time there. The restaurant was very clean, modern, and had a great overall ambience. There are areas to lounge on leather sofas and comfy chairs and lots of TVs throughout. This is our new favorite restaurant and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you Adrian for being so wonderful and to the chef for making exceptional food. read more

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Smoke and Fire Social Eatery, and I must say, their commitment to customer service is unparalleled! From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Imani, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit. They were quick to answer any questions I had and provided excellent recommendations from their menu, which helped me make the best choices for my preferences. Now, let's talk about the pretzel bites! Oh my goodness, they were absolutely delightful! Not only were they fresh and perfectly baked, but to my pleasant surprise, they were offered to me as a complimentary treat. This place is amazing and I recommend it to everyone who lives in the area and wants a pleasant dining experience. read more

Vegan Review: I tried the vegan sandwich option that they have and it was amazing. The breading was super crispy and seasoned so well. And the texture of the mushroom was perfect. It genuinely tasted like a chicken sandwich. The coleslaw went super well with it too. The cashier with the pink nose piercing also asked me if I wanted a side salad and she said that she would make it vegan for me. A lot of the time you yourself have to tell the cashier what needs to get taken out to make a dish vegan, but she already knew and I appreciated that. Overall, the vegan options here are incredibly thoughtful and delicious. The side salad has pickled beets, raisins, apples, walnuts, and a mix of greens. The vegan sandwich has Kentucky fried mushroom, coleslaw, vegan spread, and different heat options. They offer to-go and dine-in, and the atmosphere is really inviting. Definitely a place to check out and I would definitely eat here again! read more

As you enter the menu board is on the wall behind the cash registers. You look at the menu board, order, take a number, sit down, and the order is delivered to your table promptly. We ordered the smash burger, the dino rib, and the oversized pretzel. The smash burger was simple which is why it was so good, It's a testament to the focus on quality ingredients and the art of letting them shine. Now, let's talk about the dino rib - it stole the spotlight with its succulent, fall-off-the-bone tenderness, leaving such a lasting impression that I decided to keep the yummy memory for the week and not eat any other meat! And let's not forget about the pretzel - it is huge and good, proving that you don't need to visit a bar to indulge in a top-notch pretzel experience. Would I make a return trip? Without a doubt! Smoke and Fire has firmly secured its place on my list of must go to regularly. read more

I had the Texas style Brisket Fries with a side of mac n cheese.Amazing flavor of smoke with sweetness of the bbq sauce. My wife had the The Big Texan potato. We were there yesterday afternoon. I only saw 2 people working there and so with the crowd that came in getting the order in took longer than I prefer. Under that condition, Alfredo took our order being very considerate of us and explianed that there was just him and Bella taking care of us. They were amazing in doing so much for us and the rest of the customers. I find the food the best BBQ I have had in some time. I have been to most of the BBQ places near by. We will be back. I am still not hungry after yesterday's lunch! So rich and flavorful. Bella and Alfredo you are the best. BTW, I am 6' 278lbs and I couldn't come close to finishing this amount of food. I tried and now I have some here at home to enjoy. read more

Wish I took some pics before devouring this meal. I had the Texas style brisket grilled cheese and let me tell you. Every bite was perfection. The crispiness from the grilled cheese and the soft texture of the brisket was mended so well, mouth watering deliciousness. The brisket quesadilla was phenomenal. That was definitely gone within the first 5 mins. We added an extra side of mac and cheese as well as fries. I was tempted to place some of the mac and cheese on top of my brisket sandwich and I'm glad I indulged into that temptation, because it was amazing. I love how tender the brisket is. 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend. Can't forget that the Hellagent Hazy IPA was peak to this entree. Can't wait to come back and try out some more of what they have to offer. Service was great! Food was great! I'm so happy we were able to try this out. read more

I recently had the pleasure of sinking my teeth into a mouthwatering brisket sandwich, and oh boy, was it a delight. This carnivorous creation left me thoroughly impressed and satisfied, reminding me why this classic dish has withstood the test of time. First things first, the presentation was top-notch. As I unwrapped the sandwich, I was greeted by a generous portion of tender slices of smoked brisket, lovingly piled high on a fresh, toasted bun. The aroma alone was enough to make my taste buds tingle with anticipation. Upon my first bite, I was instantly blown away by the rich, smoky flavor that permeated the entire sa The brisket, slow-cooked to perfection, was incredibly tender and melted in my mouth effortlessly. The savory seasoning marinated every bite, creating a symphony of taste that left me yearning for more. And Mary Jane was the best! read more

I was a but skeptical because I haven't tried this from their menu yet but I'm very pleased to say that it didn't stand a chance with me! Super tender, juicy, and delicious! Only downside about it is the feeling of guilt you have after eating it because of the grease but I'll get over it lol the mac and cheese could've been better... it was dry, cold, and the macaroni were all stuck together but I'm not mad about it! It was just weird that it didn't look or taste fresh since me and my group were the only ppl there and they had looked like they just opened. Over all a great spot to get some good food but be prepared to spend a pretty good amount of money cause I can never decide on getting just one thing but they do make up for it cause it's always good! And shout out to Ana for helping us out today! She hooked us up! read more

The food was great. The workers were friendly. The place was nice and clean. Couldn't have asked for more. I've ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken, The Stockberger, and the Chicken Tenders and can say that they all taste amazing. I would not recommend getting the Fuego spice level unless you have a very high spice tolerance because you will not enjoy it if you cannot handle it. I would recommend getting hot if you're looking into getting something with a small kick. One of the workers that helped me, I believe her name was Rosy, was super helpful when I was asking for food recommendations. She takes your preferences into consideration and recommends you a food item that you will not regret. A perfect place to eat if you're looking for something fast (10-20 min wait depending on how busy they are) and good to eat. read more

Holy smokes, this place is amazing. Came here for the first time tonight and the food was delicious, service was stellar and servings were plentiful. Was helped by Ben at the cashier area - super knowledgeable and helpful. As it was my first time visiting, I asked him if the fries or street corn was the better choice and he ordered me the fries and threw in the corn complimentary so I could try both! I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich (mild), a side of brisket, waffle fries and the corn. Everything was phenomenal, but the chicken was was the star - juicy and flavorful with just a tiny kick. Brisket was also great - fell apart with just a fork and smoky/flavorful - I think with a great sauce it would have been even better. Can't wait to come back and try this place again soon!! I give it all the stars. read more
