    Drench Butter Smoked Corn

    After a long day at the beach I was starving. Saw this place online with good reviews and decided to give it a shot. I wasn't gonna leave a review but seeing that the owner is very petty when replying to reviews I decided to. I enter and only one man was sitting there to eat, I should've taken that as a first red flag for a place that's 4.5 stars! Sat down with my partner and we decided to order chopped bbq chicken with smoked butter corn. My partner ordered sliced bbq brisket with fries. I order and as soon as the server finishes writing down my order I ask for the rest room. I was there for at most 5 minutes. I come back to the table and my partner gives me a disgusted look. Tells me that the food got brought out a minute after we ordered. I assume non of my food was fresh. Tasted like that as well. The pickled onions, pickles and coleslaw were sour, not my biggest enjoyment. Maybe some people like that, but it came with the food at no cost so I won't be nudging that too much. SMOKED butter corn was in a paper cup/bowl. 3/4 of the corn was swimming in the cup. It's like they opened a can of corn dumped in the cup added some butter and microwaved it. No smokey flavor at all and drench in butter and the can juice. The BBQ chopped chicken was next. Why oh why do they feel the need to pour a whole bottle of bbq in my chicken?! Bbq sauce is sweet and for it to be more sauce than chicken, that was literally the only thing I tasted. I promise you that the chicken was already sitting in bbq and it wasn't made to order. The chicken was so soggy and extremely sweet. My partner basically got the same result with the Slice bbq brisket. Soaking in bbq sauce. The best thing I ate was her French fries. Hallelujah they can dump potatoes into a fryer! My partner didn't eat anything. I've grown up to try and eat everything on the plate out of respect but I couldn't. I think because I was starving I managed to take a couple of bites before giving up. I pushed the chicken to the side so it'll look like I ate some at least, and my partner grabbed half the brisket put it in a napkin so it'll look like she ate some too. The only thing we took to go were the fries. This is by far my worst BBQ experience in any restaurant. If the food was made to order maybe I wouldn't consider this review, if the owner wasn't snarky with his remarks I wouldn't even care to leave this review. The food was ready before I finished using the bathroom, pure definition of fast food.

    Cheeseburger
    Kasia C.

    Maybe this is one of those places where you have to sit there & eat - but the takeout was not impressive. We ordered lunch in the middle of the week for pickup since it's down the street. We got a cheeseburger, cheese fries, cheese tater tots, fiery smokehouse burger, bread pudding bites and the espresso brownies. The cheese fries were literally melted cheese on fries - I thought it was like the nacho cheese type but no. It all stuck together and was impossible to eat - same with the tater tots. The cheeseburger was underwhelming- ok in taste but nothing special. The stale espresso brownies tasted like bbq smoke which was off-putting.

    Service - the people working were really nice. Greeted upon arrival and given menus right away. She came over to take our order and checked on us a few times. They had tables set up so you could have your food there. It was pretty quiet like 2 other families there while we were there. Food - the name Smoke Shack is deceiving. The food did not taste like it was smoked or grilled. The ribs seemed to be cooked in the oven. Brisket didn't have any flavor. The mac cheese was watery and just did not taste good. I honestly would say if you want food with bbq sauce on it then you should go here but if you're looking for that grilled or smoked taste then this is not the place. We won't be returning because for the price the food should definitely be cooked better.

    Coleslaw with pickled onions

    I just ordered a whole bunch of stuff. I am now reading the reviews and I think it was a huge mistake. I had a really bad experience the last time I ordered from you, but I was giving you another chance on Christmas Day refused to follow and pictures.

    Remaining Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich
    Francisco D.

    OMG-- my mouth remains watered and my taste buds excited! I walked and placed an order to go. The staff was very efficient and quick! The place was very clean and inviting too. The food was absolutely what I expected and then some. I had pulled pork bbq sandwich and it was beyond yummy and flavorful! My wife got some chopped brisket and enjoyed every ounce. My son got a double bacon cheeseburger and I could not take a picture fast enough. The tots, fries, cornbread and the ultimate and amazing bread pudding bites rounded out the meal! YUMMY! A must try!

    Buffalo chicken sandwich!!!
    Tub R.

    The food in this area is disappointing and void of flavor. This place sticks to the norms of the area. It's way too expensive to be this lack luster. The chicken sandwich was nothing but generic Buffalo sauce. No other flavors came through at all. The Mac n cheese was eh. Kraft makes a better Mac n cheese. The corn was just ok. Considering the food options in the area this place could have been a stand out establishment. The food had to be mildly good to be a standout and it came up short. This is the second time I've been here. It's gotten better. It's gone from terrible to eh. They'll have 1 last chance when I get a $10 hotdog and give that a shot. See you in a few months when I try that.

    BACON ESPRESSO BROWNIE
    Steve A.

    Smoke Shack has moved to its own building and implemented the full menu. The owner still knows me by name. The food is as outstanding as ever. They have BACON ESPRESSO BROWNIES OMG THESE ARE AMAZING GET MULTIPLE BROWNIES EVERY TIME. This review hereby grants the 5th star as well earned and loved.

    Dirty Dog
    Mark S.

    This was my first visit to Smoke Shack BBQ. Signage is fairly basic and it may be easy to pass by. It was a Saturday at 3pm after a hike. I was told to take a seat so I did. Despite the burgers and BBQ marketing, I ordered the Dirty Dog. This item was humongous. I enjoyed my meal while watching traffic and Thatcher McGhee patrons eat across the street and listening to Billy Idol. I was given a fork which I utilized to eat the onion rings and most of the brisket since they would had most certainly fallen off if I didn't. I reached my capacity at the half way mark but still found the intestinal fortitude to munch onward. This was my breafast, lunch and dinner. The brisket and the sauce helped greatly with the flavor.

    Doesn't look like much but one of the best BBQ places in the country. 1000% recommend. Nice ppl. INCREDIBLE FIND. Get the triple combo + sides! Bearded guy at counter is a gem.

    The meat is fatty, the sauce, bland and unappealing. Side dishes were mediocre. Prices very high. I won't be back.

I love the convenience of the kiosk ordering. Service was very quick, and everyone on staff was so kind and helpful. I was blown away by their gluten-free menu. They offer gluten-free buns for burgers and sandwiches, gluten-free crispy chicken, and even gluten-free desserts. I tried the Turtle Pie and the Lemon Raspberry Pie--both were delicious, but the Turtle Pie was truly to die for. This was hands down one of the best burgers and fries I've ever had. Gluten-free bread can really make or break a meal, and this place does it right. The gluten-free bun tasted fresh and delicious, the burger itself was incredibly juicy and flavorful, and the basil aioli was insanely good. I also ordered their specialty Cherry Cream Cola, and it was so good that I had to get a second one. It tasted like a fresh, sweet Cherry Coke and was the perfect accompaniment to the meal. I sat outside and brought my dog, and one of the staff members even came out with a bowl of water for him. Such a thoughtful touch that made us feel so welcome. It being dog-friendly is definitely a huge bonus for me. Amazing food, wonderful service, and one of the best gluten-free experiences I've had. I can't wait to come back!

Their signature item is the hot Texas weiner. Now a Texas weiner ain't like any other chili dog. It's a fried hot dog, topped with a special spiced meat chili sauce (no beans), which you can and should get dressed "all the way," with chili, onions, and mustard. And btw it's not a Texas thing; it's a New Jersey thing...by way of Greece. The chili sauce on a Texas weiner is particular (and not to be confused with your standard-issue chili con carne), and the taste can be divisive. Some people love it; others like my husband didn't care for the chili or the flavor of the dog. It's one of those things, IYKYK I guess. I for one did enjoy my weiner. And my roast beef club and tater tots w/ cheese both hit the spot. It's simple and straightforward food, nothing fancy. I can get with the back-to-basics-ness of the joint which fits with the theme. This should be an irresistible destination for any road trippers and curiosity food seekers. There is ample seating inside, with two dining sections. And the people who work here are nice. The older lady who took our order was so sweet to put cartoons on the TV for my toddler. Probably 3-3.5 on the food, but bumping to 4 for the kitschy charm, good value, and kind service. I just luv the whole vibe!

We rented an Airbnb nearby and wanted a fun Sunday brunch with a beautiful view, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. We made an 11 AM reservation and were glad we arrived before the crowds started rolling in. They offered both a featured brunch menu and an extensive drink menu with lots of options for the group. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She even took a table photo for us and later noticed us struggling to take a group picture outside after brunch -- she actually came outside to take photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and really went above and beyond for such a special occasion. The atmosphere was also so welcoming. The locals were incredibly kind, and one woman even bought our table a bottle of champagne after hearing we were celebrating a bride-to-be. It made the whole experience feel extra memorable. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciated that they offered gluten-free options, including gluten-free toast. I had the spinach and feta omelet with home fries, and everything was delicious. My sister is a huge Eggs Benedict fan and loved their version as well. The location right on Greenwood Lake is beautiful. They have dock space for people arriving by boat, plus outdoor seating that would be amazing on a nice summer day. There are also two parking lots on either side of the restaurant, which made parking easy for us, although I could see it filling up quickly during peak summer weekends. The prices were definitely on the higher end, but honestly, for a nice restaurant directly on the lake with great service and atmosphere, it felt worth it. I'm already looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area!
