First off, you should know that the restaurant is blatantly supportive of our corrupt felon President. A Trump bumper sticker on the half wall and money behind the register with his face on it. Most businesses know better than to advertise politics but apparently not this one. Funnily enough, we went there after the No Kings protest. (I had won a gift card in a raffle). We won't be back. And many others won't be going there now either. I have to assume that's what the restaurant owners want. To be divisive, just like the idiot in the White House. Obviously, Eddie's will have their like-minded supporters. Which is fine. They just won't have business from me and mine. Having said all of this, I will also mention that the Cuban sandwich was excellent. It's just unfortunate that it was tainted by the Trump vibe. read more

Ribs tasted 3 days old. Worst I've ever had. Dryer than the Sahara Desert Overall, bad read more

Smokin Eddie's offers consistently good food and service at a reasonable price point. It's a local business that seems to have a steady local following. The restaurant does not serve alcohol and is a little dated on the interior but I enjoy this restaurant and have never been disappointed by my meal. The pulled chicken sandwich, mozzarella sticks and onion rings are my favorite items. read more

Great small town BBQ joint. Meat is fantastic and big portions! My husband has gotten the pulled pork and the full rack of ribs--loved them both, especially the ribs which were so tender the meat was coming off the bone. I get the beef brisket which is also pulled--different than your typical brisket but so good. Use Eddie's Hot Sauce. Homemade desserts too. Support small and local businesses!! read more

The restaurant has a very laid back and relaxed feel. If you are in a hurry, they aren't fast, so pack your patience. The food was great and the portions were generous. We got the family meal which was a Lb of pulled chicken and two large sides for $22. They have a mild and hot bbq sauce, I wish they had something sweet. Everyone working was very nice and while we waited they checked on us several times. read more

Great Sandwich, the Brisket sandwich with slaw was a large sandwich, good bun and slaw was top quality and flavor well matched to the beef flavor. Not much smoked flavor but the brisket was yummy and tender. First time stopping here while passing through Louisa. read more

Smokin' Eddies BBQ - Brisket sandwich with slaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Louisa, Virginia

Been working in the center of Louisa and was looking for a quick lunch. The restaurant has a large open floor plan but feels dated, 1960's.. maybe. There is street parking in front and larger parking lot next door. My co-worker Charlie and I both went with the BBQ sandwich with slaw & fries $7.50. After about 30 minutes our food came out. We were getting a bit restless but remembered how busy they were when we arrived. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I went the BBQ sandwich based on how good it looked in the Yelp review photos. The BBQ sandwich and fries were good but not great. They were chincy on the slaw and after I let our server know, she brought out a small sauce cup with more. The bun was a bit soft for my liking and I would have preferred a vinegar sauce brought to the table. I wasn't impressed by the "mild" or "hot" sauce they offered. In end, we enjoyed our meal and the service but based on only having an hour for lunch I'm not sure if we would be back anytime soon. Service: 4.0 Food: 3.5 Value: 3.5 read more

Smokin' Eddies BBQ - BBQ sandwich with slaw and fries - Barbeque Near Me - Louisa, Virginia

A quick review, as this restaurant deserves nothing more. Poor rack of ribs served dry, and a very watery BBQ sauce from a squirt bottle. The meat didn't fall off the bones, but had to be dragged off with the help of very dull knives. We had the Butt-Fries which are smothered in cheese, pulled pork, onions, and peppers. Unfortunately, they were soggy and not very flavorable. The decor of the dining area was extremely well worn, and really didn't give a BBQ joint vibe. Overall it didn't seem very clean. We came, we ate, we saw, we left disappointed. Next time will try Country Boy's BBQ down the block. read more

The hours aren't correct on this website and their voicemail on the phone number that you call to place a order is also incorrect

Even though there were a few setbacks with the cook messing things up, the food was great. I loved it! It really tasted home cooked. The restaurant was SPOTLESS. It was the most impeccable restaurant that I think I've ever seen. So clean and no weird odors in the air like a lot of other restaurants. You can tell that the owners keep up with the restaurant as much as possible. I will definitely come back again. This is now my favorite restaurant in Louisa. read more

Food is good but service is not as good. Prices on menu are not what they charge you. They say we've updated our prices but haven't told anyone or updated them on the menu. So pretty much lie about what your meal is going to cost you and don't even tell you after they ring you up. Figure if you don't say anything, they won't either and they will make more $$$. Not good for business. False advertisement is not right. read more

Smokin' Eddies BBQ - plate of pulled pork, fries, coleslaw and coleslaw - Barbeque Near Me - Louisa, Virginia

Stopped for a late lunch/early dinner during a day of errands. Pretty basic restaurant, but everything seemed clean. I had the pulled pork sandwich, and my wife the pulled chicken. Both were very good and had a nice smoke taste. They had a couple of sauces, neither one of which we liked, but the meat was actually just fine without any. We had some onion rings as an appetizer, which were okay, as were the french fries I had. But the best sides on the table were the potato salad and baked beans my wife had. Both were awesome. We'll definitely hit this place again. read more

The food is absolutely outstanding. I cant understand how someone could give anything but 5 Stars.

BBQ was good, staff was attentive. Great little stop along our trip to check out Lake Louisa.

Love the food but they always seem to forget something on our order. Last time was potato salad. Got all the way home then discover it's not in the bag. No worries... I enjoy the food enough I'll just have to check the bag from now on before I leave. read more

Lunch specials are off the chart good! My husband and I have lunch there at least once a week. Highly recommend giving them a shot.

The food was quite tasty. Worth every dollar. Great job following the standards under Covid 19. read more

They are never open. Not sure how they stay in business. I drive by here four to five times a day every day and they are never open. People looking thru the window to see and pull on door to open but its locked. read more

Stopped in on a Monday night--only restaurant open. It is a clean establishment & service was very good. Liked the 60s feel. Ordered Half rack of ribs, green beans & coleslaw. For dessert got the coconut cream pie & we enjoyed it. Overall good food & would come back again. Also, loved the patriotic motif throughout. read more

Went here for lunch today was the first time ever going and man the food was great. I had the brisket with potato salad and French fries most tender brisket I've had in a long time. Their mild bbq sauce is fantastic. I will be going back for sure. read more

Best bbq place in the area. The customer service was excellent and the food was delicious. Very affordable prices and decent servings. Highly recommend visiting this place. read more

Had an afternoon to explore the thriving town of Louisa, VA and decided to try Smokin' Eddie's BBQ. It was a casual experience, sit down and order - but casual enough that I initially thought we should order at the counter and sit down. The sauces were flavorful but not that spicy, and the meat came out very smokey tasting; and despite the name, I did not quite expect that. The brisket was pretty darned good, but the ribs were smokey enough to not really be great, though with enough hot sauce they got to be enjoyable. The surprise delights were the slaw and potato salad, neither of which is normally my thing, but they were very good according to my dinner partner! Skip the green beans; so overcooked as to not be worth it at all. The sweet tea was quite good, and the service was friendly, helpful, and willing to engage in conversation (which we welcomed) - highly recommend the service staff. read more

The meat itself is smoked nicely and the prices are good. Unfortunately, the sauces are severely lacking. If you have your own sauce at home, it is worth it to get a meal to go. I would not recomend eating in the restaurant read more

Passing through Louisa, we stopped for a quick dinner, but didn't relish the thought of a fast food joint. To our pleasant surprise, we stumbled upon Smokin' Eddie's. As usual, I asked what are the customers' favorites and we settled on a dinner with half ribs and chopped pork with cole slaw and baked beans. Not being as big a BBQ fan as I, my wife ordered the daily special of country fried steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Our granddaughter ordered the BBQ sandwich with Cole slaw and fries. The BBQ was excellent as the smokey flavor was rich in both the pork and ribs. The ribs were Memphis style with a good dry rub seasoning as the meat was perfectly done... Moist on the inside, easily falling off the bone. By the way, the portion size was great with 5 bones and a large serving of pork. The creamy slaw was just right, not too sweet. At many places, the beans are just filler; but here, my mouth was treated to soft and sweet baked beans with a great flavor. One note on the two available sauces... Home made and paired well with the meat. The daily special of country fried steak was good, but the mashed potatoes were great. All mashed potatoes should taste this fresh. The green beans were also country style, which is exactly what my wife likes. Even the French fries are worth comments... Hot and crispy. If you like sweet tea, you'll be happy here. Finally, we had to get banana pudding... Wow! Home made, smooth and flavorful, Donna assembled the masterpiece with great care. We were so full, we had to get it to go, but I'm SO glad we did. We rarely pass though Louisa, but I might have to make a special trip from time to time. I definitely want to come back and try the beef brisket. read more

Had lunch here with the family this weekend. Great bbq! The mild sauce has a little kick to it but very tasty. Make sure you save room for the banana pudding. It's the best I've ever had! read more

Great bbq. I got a pulled pork sandwich and fries. Was really happy with. The prices were great too.

Smoking Eddie's is very quite at 3:30. The BBQ sandwich had chopped pork and a table speciality sauce. What a good sandwich. Homemade baked beans were good also. I ordered the cheesecake for desert. Not worth it. Did not taste homemade and if it was then it was a week old. All in all good food and service. read more

This worst restaurant I been in a long time even the service was pathetic. To start after taking the order the waitress told us no ribs but they rest is known for the bbq ribs ....them we order an appetizer that she forgot and the food was cold and bland no sauce them when we first sat down I ask for coffee which she forget totally.... Never check on us about the food etc our drinks were empty but we were the only customer on the place .... read more

Best Bar-B-Que in town. Best Bar-B-Que all around! The portions are generous and the food is always fresh cooked! Very Friendly staff and owners as well. Classic Diner atmosphere. The hushpuppies with cinnamon butter were amazing! The Bar-B-Que plate is my favorite dish, but they also have wonderful specials each day! Breakfast is always delicious here! read more

Great bbq food. I love going here and love the atmosphere!!! Such a great addition to our small town

Really good pulled pork sandwich topped with coleslaw and their mild sauce. French fries are also good. The green beans were tender but rather plain and the mac & cheese also seemed to be missing something. Kudos though, for not adding meat to the sides like everyone seems to be doing these days. I will be back to try the chicken and ribs and taking some pulled pork home for later! read more

if you like microwaved food this is for you! if microwaved food isn't your thing, they're happy to provide ice cold food.

One star is generous for this "BBQ" restaurant. I've been to numerous places across the country (KC, Colorado, Texas, NC) and never have I experienced such a fantastic let down. I had an afternoon where I needed to grab something and decided, hey, why not try this BBQ place? Yelp says they are good. Well...this would be the first major let down from the Yelp community. Got the smoked chicken - tasted like it was microwaved. Sides were bland and in terrible need of at least a dash of salt, service was abominable. Here's a hint for all you Yelpers: if you got to a BBQ place, and you can't see their pit, or smell the smoke, pack up and keep rolling, because you aren't at a real BBQ joint. read more

Ordered the Half smoked rib dinner plate with mac and cheese and green beans. Their hot sauce is amazing and needed on the ribs, since it was a bit dry. Mac and cheese was okay however the green beans lacked flavor and seemed to come from a bulk can. read more

Good BBQ, friendly service, fresh food. BBQ chicken sandwich was my favorite, but turned out to be a bit spicier than expected for others in the group. really good flavor to the sauce. Friendly service as well. read more

Had a business lunch here today. Service was fast and efficient. I wasn't on the mood for BBQ, but my cheeseburger was very good and the fries were perfect. My associate's BBQ plate was huge and looked delicious. The price was very reasonable. read more

I rarely give out five stars so don't let the four stars be offputting. Had lunch here today for the second time and could not have been more pleased. Amazingly affordable, home cooked meals and great service in a clean restaurant - what more could you want? If you are a hush puppies fan then I suggest you try theirs. We order them every time we go and they came out hot, fresh and crispy with a side of butter for dipping! I had the Monday meatloaf special with mashed potatoes and green beans. It had a nice little kick to it and was moist and cooked just right for my liking. Mashed potatoes were real and pretty good although I'm not sure if they used milk or water to make them. Green beans were homestyle which in the south means cooked to death, but that's how like 'em! I did not try their desserts but the cakes I could see from our booth looked really good. If you're in Louisa give this sweet little Main Street mom-and-pop restaurant a try! read more

Excellent food. We got the BBQ sandwich with large drink and fries ($7.50), BBQ Chicken sandwich with large drink and potato salad ($7.50) kid's chicken tenders with fries ($4.99), and kid's burger with fries ($2.99). All of the food was amazing and the prices were low for BBQ! Cute restaurant. Staff was pleasant and kind! read more
