We've been going here for years and it's always a great time! This is the epitome of a no-frills bbq joint which uses playing cards to call your order. We got a large baby back ribs combo with 3 sides and cornbread. When my family found one of the ribs to be a little dry, the staff shocked us by giving us 2 full racks, cornbread, brownies, and a $10 gift card for our next visit! Outstanding service, super juicy ribs, and something i always look forward to every visit. read more

Amazing BBQ and banana pudding! A bit pricey but the variety, quality and service is top notch! Gave us a nice treat for our service fog too! Definitely worth a try and repeat visit! read more

( review from the summer ) This is one of our must stop by and have every time we are in OC Maryland. If you like anything BBQ this is the place to go. They have a nice closed in with screen area to sit with picnic tables. There pulled pork sandwiches just melt in your mouth. Ribs are to die for. Baked beans, and corn nuggets are delicious. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordered a pit beef sandwich. This is not pit beef, no way this was cooked over a fire pit. it's the worst example I've come across. I asked for rare, he told me they cook it medium rare and then dip it in au jus. This was well done and had no flavor at all. You'll see in pic, not one spec of red. Maybe other things here are better but they should stop selling "pit beef " if this is their idea of pit beef. Terrible and I guess they needed the $16 more than I did. Why not be honest and say this isn't traditional pit beef as you might be expecting. It's reheated roast beef. They have plenty of things on menu. Drop pit beef, you're giving it a bum rap and hurt the real pit beef people out there. read more

Smoker's BBQ Pit - Terrible, over cooked flavourless roast beef not pit beef. Med rare ? Not one spec of red. Bullshitters - Barbeque Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

$9 for a kids grilled cheese and they only use 1 piece of cheese. My chicken sandwich was dry. Not a hint of smoke anywhere. This place used to serve the best BBQ and now it's just a rip off. read more

All the bbq food looks good. My son had a pork bbq sandwich and liked it. Large variety of delicious sides. Fried chicken is just okay. I wouldn't get it again. read more

This place is amazing. First, The ordering process was pretty easy. Walk up, order your food and wait. You get a pretty cool ticket (a card) - We were A's !!! The spot was pretty clean. They had out door open seating and enclosed outdoor seating. Either way, pretty cool and clean. Nice spot. Now, the food pretty damn good. We went along with another family and had 2 family specials, we had the chicken and they had the baby back ribs and we shared all the food. We even took food home. Highly recommend this spot if you are in Ocean City, MD. Great BBQ spot. read more

We have been going to Smokers for close to 20 years and although expensive we always liked it, up until last night. I had a pit beef sandwich there that was so old and so dry that after one bite it went into the trash. You have lost my business Smokers. read more

Smoker's BBQ Pit - Menu - Barbeque Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

Whenever in the area during the season, we always have to stop here! Love that they are dog friendly! Wish they still had the dog menu. Also wish they were open all year! This year I've been getting the burnt ends. They are on the softer side than what I'm used to with burnt ends but still very tasty. I get them with the Mac and cheese (which this time wasn't that great. Flavor was lacking) and the cinnamon apples which are beyond delicious! I also get the large order of corn nuggets (fritters) which are beyond hard to find but also very yummy! The burnt ends come with corn bread, however, I'm not a fan of it. I find it rather bland and dry. They have these reusable to go cups for soda with a straw that you can get refills for $1 with. Everything that I have ever had is always fresh and delicious! If you like Barbecue, then this is where you need to be! read more

Food was great! Lots of options. Will definitely come again next time we're in ocean city.

Good BBQ, the way it was meant to be. The first time I had Smoker's Pit BBQ was over 20 years ago and I loved it. I went back every year when visiting Ocean City. I tried the Pit Beef sandwich with the horseradish sauce with a side of fries and cole slaw and a proper sweet tea. It was really good. The pit beef sandwich would have been tastier with the BBQ sauce option. It was packed with meat and very filling. We also had some sides, corn bites, and fried pickle spears. The pickles came with the most delicious homemade ranch dressing. My dining companion had the Smoker Pit Burger with the smoked pulled pork on it. She enjoyed it very much. The doggies got a treat as well , they offer a four legged smoked chicken bowl for your K-9. The dogs loved it! Have to make a return visit before they close for the season. read more

Came here for the first time today for a late dinner and got the Carolina pulled pork sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese and cornbread. Everything was amazing. Their sauce can't be beat. Service was very good and food came out extremely quick! Will definitely be coming here again! read more

We got two meats and two sides...it came with cornbread. Unfortunately, the food didn't come with plates so I kept dropping it through the mesh tabletop. I asked for plates and BBQ sauce. I have been better if the food came with plates and BBQ sauce. Food (bbq pork and beef briskets, bbq beans and collard greens) were good but portions were small. Restrooms were clean. read more

Smokers used to be that carry out joint that was so good you just wanted to keep going back. This was our first time this year and the experience truly took the wind out of our sail. $100 carry out including tip and we were missing a full rack of ribs, cornbread, green beans, and the two piece fried chicken dinner. The thigh looked like a wing it would fit in my four-year-old granddaughter's hand and the leg was not much bigger. When I they claimed it couldn't be. They asked me if I wanted another set of ribs. I simply replied "I don't want another, I want the order that I paid for". when they brought the food out to my car, I showed them the ticket on the bag that showed that they had inspected my food before I left the first time. They said yes we inspect every package to make sure all the food is there. I asked how is that you since I didn't get the food. I left there and they were . Not a single person thought that they might need to check their bagging process. That's when you know, they may not be around next year. If you have another place to go eat, I would probably recommend that you do that. read more

Visits: April when they opened through May. Off the charts BBQ. Totally. Takeout: Perfection. Everything is accurate and neatly packed. We were provided sauces and napkins. Dine in meals : We love r The Feast for Two- Hearty portions of ribs and chicken accompanied by a sauce or two of your choosing. With 3 nicely sized homemade sides. The portion sizes were such that any time we ordered this we went home with a bit of leftovers. Today we enjoyed the potato salad, the baked beans and the garlic green beans. Other times we have gotten the 12 piece fried chicken and that came with a couple of sides also. Their chicken is fresh and juicy. One time we even had their slushy's And thoroughly enjoyed them. Outdoor dining is picnic tables in a big screened in porch. The picnic tables were clean without a hint of any barbecue residue remaining. This is something to note because this is something really hard to do. Especially when you have a near constant crowd out front ordering. Which brings me to the staff who work hard to make your dining experience a good one. We will be back often. read more

Food was good. They don't have a bbq sauce self serve station anymore which we miss. No salt and pepper packs. No wet naps Half smoked chicken was good. Pulled pork sandwich was good. Fries weren't good. They had some kind of coating. No one wanted them. Mashed potatoes are always good. Birch beer good. read more

I'm from Northern California. I wish so much that we had this restaurant there. Wow! This place was AMAZING!!! We had the brisket, and let me tell you, it was so deliciously moist, tender, and melt in your mouth good. The fries are perfectly made, and the coleslaw was fresh and delicious as well. I could tell that the locals really love this place too! We had gone to an Outback the night before and lemme tell ya, they don't hold a candle to this place! The service here is swift and courteous. I couldn't ask for a better experience. It's gonna be my new go-to place when I go back east! Love love love read more

Husband and I each ordered same bbq chicken sandwich...$14.75 each. Mine had 2 thin chicken patties, (much skimpier than what they used to serve) and my husband had one thin one on it. We showed them and asked if there was a mistake..."nope". Won't be back again. read more

Smoker's BBQ Pit - Brisket one whole pound. Pretty lackluster dry covered in sauce not worth it. - Barbeque Near Me - Ocean City, Maryland

This is the first time we've stopped here since they reopened. Smoker's was always a place we would go to for dinner when we were in Ocean City. The first thing we noticed when we pulled in was that there was no crowd of customers waiting to place their orders, we were able to go right up and place our orders. My wife and I both orders the burnt ends. This was always our favorite item on the menu. When we got our order at the pickup window we were surprised at how small the portions were. We sat down and opened the containers and what was supposed to be burnt ends looked like they had simply shredded some brisket and dumped a bunch of sauce on it. Good BBQ does not need sauce, it should be left to the discretion of the customer. The sauce they doused the "burnt ends" in was definitely not the best I've ever had, it seemed to be very salty. The sides we ordered, Mac & cheese and baked beans, were mediocre at best. Today I learned that a new owner took over back around the time they were shut down by the fire. Bottom line is...we were very disappointed with Smoker's as it was one of our favorite stops in OC, and with Boog's closing their location on the boardwalk a few years ago we need to find a new BBQ place. Any suggestions??? read more

This is absolutely THE WORST bbq joint I have ever been to. Brisket burnt ends -- overly salty, jerky-like. Inedible. Garlic green beans - half warm/half cold. Obviously badly microwaved. Disgusting cornbread. Awful mac& cheese. But the worst part was the supposed "pit beef." Ice cold. Flavorless. Not rare. Instead cold, lousy deli meat. I could do better at Food Lion down the street. read more

This restaurant was recommended to us by locals and unfortunately it was pretty disappointing. We ordered a good amount of food, the total cost was around 71 bucks. The brisket, I can't believe they would serve something like that. The meat was most definitely spoiled and old. It had a very off putting taste, that I wouldn't even feed it to our puppy. The fries, I can't believe they served us day old fries! The fries were so old, greasy and cold when I took one bite, it literally stuck to the roof of my mouth. The potato salad...... are you serious. The Mac and cheese, although not terrible, it most definitely lacked any type of seasoning. It was bland enough and safe enough to feed to our dog and he enjoyed it. The baked beans, straight from a can as well as the collard greens, glory gets the credit for those. The cornbread, sweet, lacks texture and just doesn't taste good. The most decent part of the meal was the ribs. They weren't bad at all. Seasoned well, a bit tough, but still chewable and they weren't smothered in an overly sweet sauce. I was pretty upset with what we received from them tonight. So upset, I almost got in my car to drive there for them to understand how horrible the food is, or at least give them a call to let them know the brisket was most definitely old/spoiled. The only thing that stopped me, was my husband, he said it wasn't worth the aggravation. However, one thing I was going to make sure I did was write a review. Give it a try, maybe you'll have a better experience than we did. My family and I, will not be back. What they served us was straight disrespectful. read more

Well, it is a barbecue place. Very beach-y. Lots of take away food but I have to admit that what I had was very fatty. I didn't feel so good the next day. This is certainly not a place for a first date. Honestly, I would leave this place to people on vacation there is better barbecue to be had in the area read more

The Smoker's BBQ Pit has some decent barbecue. We got a variety of items, including the Carolina BBQ (vinegar-based) and the regular BBQ sandwiches. The brisket was thinly sliced in the brisket sandwich, thinner than I'm used to. Not bad, though nothing that wowed me. I opted for the Hell Cat sandwich, which had a nice spicy sauce to accompany the fried catfish. Sides were solid, especially the green beans (perfectly cooked) and the mac and cheese. We all agreed the bread was somewhat lacking and that our sandwiches would have been better with a firmer and more flavorful bread. The prices were pretty fair and the food prepared in a timely fashion. read more

I came here twice- FIRST & LAST!!!! DRIEST RIBS I've ever had. Mashed, cornbread, & the coleslaw had ZERO flavor & taste! I DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL! read more

Gotta say, new ownership has changed the recipes pretty noticeable. Rob's are now thick coated in rub, BBQ is way different, less flavor and the meats were dry. I have to say, I'll probably not be going back after these last two meals. Very disappointed. read more

The food was good not great. I felt like the food was cooked much earlier in the day or day before. The brisket tasty like pot roast. It was ok just strange read more

Stopped by for a quick late lunch after a beach day. Sad to say, the stuffed tomato with shrimp salad had next to no flavor. It looked beautiful, but neither the tomato nor the shrimp salad tasted like anything. It was disappointing, because it's summer time and at the very least I was looking forward to tasting a delicious Maryland tomato. Here's why this review is 4 stars. My partner got the pulled pork and simply raved over the Carolina-style sauce. He's still talking about it 2 days later. Even the pulled pork meat itself was nothing special, but he was really impressed with the sauce and he does not impress easily. I'm also willing to admit I probably should not have ordered shrimp salad at a BBQ place. read more

The food was delicious and the service was great and welcoming. I loved the corn fritters.

The food is a little dry. They do have a good variety. Not the best and not the worst. If you like BBQ and want to feed the family on the cheap, go for it! We had a rack of ribs, a smoked salmon appetizer and sides of mashed potatoes and gravy and coleslaw. (The sides were good.) There is screened seating on a patio and tables with umbrellas. This spot is conveniently located close to Assateague. read more

First time here and we liked the food. At first we thought the portions were small but once we got it home we realized the takeaway container was just huge. Baby back ribs, brisket and pulled pork were delicious. The fried foods were crispy. I liked how they didn't upcharge for sweet potato fries (most places charge extra for them). The smoked salmon had the skin on and I wasn't fan of that. It left a very strong fishy smell. We also didn't get the cream cheese dip with it even though we were told it came with it. But aside from that, everything else was very good. read more

Had dinner here with friends this past Saturday during our visit to Ocean City Beach. We were happy to see that people were lined up outside ordering and waiting for their food. I ordered a 1/2 rack of ribs platter with macaroni and cheese and collard greens that also came with jalapeño corn bread. Also ordered a side of corn nuggets. The rubs were well seasoned and the sauce which was served on the side had a nice flavor. It was also a good portion. I was not impressed with the macaroni and cheese or collard greens; both tasted boxed/frozen. The corn nuggets were great. Good customer service. Not a long wait time. Screened in eating area. Plenty of parking. Fair pricing. read more

Very disappointed in the food. "Cream" of crab lacked cream and was so watery to the point the low-grade crab meat sank to the the bottom of the bowl. Burger was extremely greasy which saturated the roll. Wouldn't even feed to the dog. Both items thrown out and not eaten. A total waste of money. As if the above was not bad enough, I watched an employee dipping his bare hands in the fry basket and was eating them when the cashier stepped away. Never again! read more

Great food! The wait was not long and you got a lot for what you pay for. All platters come with cornbread too

Really delish pulled pork sandwich, but be sure to order sauce because it'll need more. Yummy onion rings, hush puppies, green beans and apples. Ok mozzarella sticks. Well seasoned fried chicken: dark meat pieces were delish, but the white meat pieces were so dry they were inedible. read more

Outdoor eating and screened eating. We taking it to go back to the condo it was only 12 minute drive in good traffic. Plus they have order and pick up available to. Smell is amazing whole poo barking lit and eating smells like BBQ! read more

We just had lunch here, Rack of ribs are DRY specially both ends of the ribs. beef briskets is ok kinda chewy, mashed potato, cornbread, coleslaw has no taste. Service was quick tho. The place I s clean. I was so disappointed with the quality of the food and I don't know why they have 4 stars rating. read more

We got one of their combos..it was a rack of ribs, half a chicken, and pulled pork with 3 sides and cornbread. Maybe I got an over-cooked rack of ribs...not sure but it was tough to eat since it was so hard and dry so most of the rib was tossed out. Chicken was moist but bland...the skin did taste flavorful but the chicken meat itself didnt have any flavor but that can be solved by dipping it into some BBQ sauce which gave it some flavor. Pulled pork was actually the best meat we got. Potato salad was flavorful...I could taste the vinegar but it wasn't overpowering. Mac-n-cheese was okay but wasn't great...can't say it was bad but can't say it was awesome either. French fries were good, the kids liked it. We also got 3 kids meals: hot dog, chicken tenders and hamburger with fries...the kids enjoyed their food for the most part. The cornbread was dry and didn't have any flavor and we didn't enjoy it...sad part is my family loves corn bread but this time they didn't want anything to do with it. We didn't even want to pack it to go. The combo was 49.99 +3kids meals and 3 large drinks came to a little over $98 They have a unique ordering system...order from one window and receive a playing card...the second windows calls the card (i.e. 9 of clubs) and collects the money when your food is ready. I'd give it another try just to be sure but it's just an okay BBQ joint for me at the moment. read more
