    If you're looking for a sign to try Smoke on the Water, this is it. From the moment you walk through the door, you're welcomed like an old friend. The staff takes the time to explain how everything works, walks you through the menu options, and makes you feel genuinely excited about what's about to happen. And trust me--what happens next is worth every calorie. We ordered the mac and cheese, collard greens, cornbread, tomato cucumber salad, beef brisket, and pork ribs. The verdict? Not a single miss. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. The brisket was tender, the ribs were phenomenal, the sides held their own, and the cornbread was exactly what good cornbread should be. But let's talk about the mac and cheese for a moment. If loving that mac and cheese is wrong, I don't want to be right. It was hands-down my favorite thing on the table--and that's saying a lot considering everything was a solid 10/10. And then there's Gabby P. (Please emphasize the "P"--she earned it.) Friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely happy to help. She made an already fantastic experience even better. Restaurants can teach service, but kindness and personality like hers can't be trained. She's exactly the kind of person you hope to encounter when dining out. Great food gets people in the door. Great people keep them coming back. Smoke on the Water has both. We'll absolutely be back, and next time, I will not leave without a take home order of mac and cheese.

    Some of the best BBQ we've ever had. It is market style, so you order your sides, meat and then you pick your seat and a server comes over to get your drink order. Sophie was an awesome server! We sat outdoors as it was a beautiful day, but plenty of seating inside and outside. Very family friendly as there were several families with littles sitting indoors and outdoors. I would've preferred this drink to be strained because the jalapeños are so small you can suck them up in your straw, but the drink had good flavor. Incredible bbq, staff and atmosphere. Will definitely return!

    Amazing food amazing service , the staff is so kind and helpful the food is out of this world delicious pickle red onion and pickles free on the side So so so good cannot wait to come back !

    Yummy drinks!

    Amazing BBQ. Loved the brisket and sides - especially the collard greens. Best this side of "The Salt Lick" in Driftwood, TX.

    Well, first visit after reading different reviews. Traveled…read moresome distance to try. Ordered a fiddlehead double IPA with 8.2 abv Smoked bbq chicken wings 2 meat combo of ribs, brisket, Mac and cheese, bbq beans Well, smoked wings were outstanding and some best I've had .... Just right amount of smoke flavor. Brisket was a huge wow... tender, moist and some of best brisket I've had at many bbq spots throughout USA. Ribs had a nice smoke ring, a bit salty for my tastes, but still an excellent cook on the ribs Mac and cheese was great, I wanted a multi cheese taste... add a parm cheese to it... still excellent cook on the Mac and cheese Beans very good, I like a bit more molasses, with few chunks briskets ... excellent however Corn bread on dry side...needs improvement Only one option for bbq ... I wanted a peach flavor for my brisket, but all good Excellent bbq with outstanding wings . I'll return .

The ribs…read morewere fall-off-the-bone perfection, with so much meat packed onto each one--seriously generous and smoky delicious. The pork belly sandwich special was an unforgettable mouthful: juicy, cheesy, and perfectly stacked on toasted rye that added the ideal crunch. We were shocked (in the best way) by the salad portions--massive! Easily enough to feed a family of four, and fresh as can be. The cornbread? Soft, sweet, and heavenly with the honey butter. We did think a little toast would've helped that butter melt just right--but still a must-order. The house pickles were crisp with the most satisfying snap and bold flavor. We also tried the hush puppies with their unique dipping sauce--super creative, though not totally our vibe. Limited seating means you might wait, but trust us--it's absolutely worth it. Booth or table seating. The Rusty Can is a flavor-packed experience from start to finish.

Was delightfully greeted by Madelyn and Melissa my bartenders. Was served and ate well like always!!! Power went out a few times and was given the option to leave but I decided to stay. After the fourth time I decided to cash out to make sure the place I enjoy didn't get shafted like the individuals who ran out when it went off. Upon paying for my meal and drinks I asked for the military like I always do and was rudely interacted with by the floor manger saying we don't do military I said well yes you do I come here almost daily. She snarled and said well WE did enough for you today, (you mean you served me my breakfast and my three drinks?) and we don't do that. I then showed her that you do have a military discount and she mumbled something under her breath rudely and finally applied the discount. Mind you the bartender apologized, though not her fault. This manager is absolutely rude. This would be the second time. First time I actually thought they didn't have one until the second time I came in and was told there is one and they said this manager is just lazy and rude. The entire time I was here she was sitting down laughing with friends leaving her staff with no help.... throughly enjoy this place, but man she doesn't belong and needs an attitude adjustment. But anyways eat here! Foods great and the Bartenders are sociable. P.S - It would have been a 5 star except for Lizzie...... see you all tomorrow
