    Came by Smokin Gringo BBQ on Saturday and it did not disappoint. Located off I-26 on exit 194 across from the Spinx gas station. Everything is outside seating and they have plenty of parking. I love all the vibrant colors of the containers. The menu has a huge variety so I asked what was popular. He said to get the taco trio & wings. I added Mexican street corn, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and a Paloma. The sauce on wings was amazing and the steak taco was huge and very tasty. I love that they were playing Mexican music. We even started to dance. It gets busy out there but it's plenty of seating and shade. I can't wait to go back everything was delicious.

    Great bbq served in creative ways. Don't be fooled by the outside, worth the stop. Outdoor seating only

    Great place with awesome food! Parking: Located off of the Jedburg exit, Parking wasn't an issue, but if there happened to be a full crowd then it could raise a concern. Service: The service was very good. It was our first time here and our server was patient with me. He gave the recommendation for the grande burrito which I ordered. Food: I attached the photo of the grande burrito and I can say that it was everything you could ask for. It was smoky, savory, sweet (drizzled with a sauce) and flavorful. I enjoyed everything single second of eating and would order it again! Ambiance: Ambiance is appealing, what I mean by that is the colors of the storage containers that make up the area which is bright vibrant colors. It is very welcoming and can catch your eye on the side of the road. I ate at home due to it being cold outside, but I wouldn't mind eating there. Opportunities: The one opportunity that I can think of is the size of the burrito. Based on the size of it, it's not something you could really hold by hand if that's what you're looking for. I'm not complaining about that in any way but if someone were to think they're eating it traditionally, they wouldn't be since I had to eat it with a fork and knife and that was the better option for me. Overall: I'll be back for sure! The food was great and the server was hospitable and answered the questions that I had. You have gained yourself a customer!

    This place is a favorite among me and my coworkers. The container style restaurant is situated on a corner lot so parking can be a little weird, but not too complicated. They're only open Thursday-Sunday. There's no indoor seating, but they do have plenty of picnic tables and umbrellas. Smokin' Gringos is not your typical Mexican restaurant- it falls somewhere on the spectrum of Tex-mex. The owner and pit master is usually onsite and will bring the food to your table- which is a nice perk. I always enjoy the nachos with pulled pork. The serving on the nachos is more than enough to share or if you eat it alone you may need to wear your stretchy pants. In addition to nachos, they have burritos, burrito bowls, sandwiches, and ribs (only on Fridays). They also offer beer if you're looking to spice up your experience.

    Ordered catering for 13 from the Gringo's. It was a 10/10 experience. Could not recommend them more. Book it!

    We finally had the opportunity to go to Smokin' Gringos. They have a large menu. Their menu is not like other Mexican restaurants. They have a unique take on their burritos with several different barbecue sauces. The service was super fast & extremely helpful. They can also help with pairing sauces with your meat choices. The seating is outdoors with plenty of space. For the cooler nights, a small fire pit is also available.

    The wings - mehhh. I've had way better! They were not tasty and they were not as tender as I would have liked them to be. The tacos - good. The burrito- also good. Would I return? Probably would try again. The bathroom- questionable! The saying is you can tell a lot about the way a restaurant's kitchen is by the cleanliness of the bathroom. And this is why I'm on the fence about returning.

    Great food but the customer service was the best part. I came back to treat a friend on the way home and grab some takeout for my family as well. Amazing service and friendly accommodations from Primo and Danna - they are the best! (Like, LEGIT, the besssttt) Thank youuuuu!!!

    The food was ok. The service was fast and efficient. They had live music being played. I think I pick up on energy too quick so no.

    Order here!!

    This is a must try!! Very interesting layout and concept! We got ours to go but the service was great and the food was even better! I totally recommend the Burrito Bowl! It was fantastic!!

    This is hands down my favorite restaurant. The owner has tons of experience and you can taste it in the food. He has made a perfect mixture of BBQ and Mexican food to create a very unique and delicious taste. I absolutely love the ribs and wings. I also like the different dishes he creates for the weekend specials like Birria tacos, brisket quesadillas, tri-tip tacos. Everything I get is absolutely delicious. The customer service is amazing and the owner is always there and will proudly talk to you about his creations or anything that you want to talk about.

    My first time here, but my husband has been many times. He claims this is the best brisket he has…read morehad in a long time and gets it every time. Sausage is ok, and likes the chicken when he is in the mood for it. He hasnt had anything there that he doesnt like. I loved the turkey, baked beans and Mac n cheese. Our Hurricane drink was pretty delicious( with part of the proceeds goes to a charity for that one particular drink). The server was polite and friendly. They smoke and bbq all the meats right out back of the restaurant so the food came out quick, fresh and amazing! I personally loved the Mustard and Sweet Red sauces while my husband prefers the slight heat of the Jalapeño sauce . The recipes for the sauces are hanging up on the walls as part of the decor. The only thing i could knock them for is the bathroms were a little dingy. Not really super dirty, just needs some updating with new tiles and paint. Overall great place and we will definitely will be returning!

    Yikes. Not what I was expecting for southern barbecue. My husband and I are from New England where…read morebarbecue barely exists, nevermind good barbecue! However, I feel like we've had better barbecue up north than we did here... We ordered a brisket plate + a pork belly plate to share with mac & cheese, grits and corn pudding. The brisket was dry and flavorless. The pork belly was more fat than meat. Thank goodness for the variety of delicious sauces they provided with our meals! I'm giving two stars for the sides & sauces being pretty good but that's about it. I don't know the area but I'm sure you can find better meats elsewhere :(

    Shelby & this place…read more.. Phenomenal. Absolutely Phenomenal! the recommendations - on point by Shelby. the insight - on point by Shelby!! the service - PHENOMENAL above and beyond and great timing and awareness of our table. the food? Unbelievably good. compliments to the chef!!!!! highly recommend this place for a nice night out or to get delicious food and enjoy a meal. great atmosphere! I don't write reviews unless its outstanding, it's not my thing. This place was outstanding. Had to write this review.

    decided to try the ice house again after 2 years.....hated the food…read morethis is my last time here and will not be back ordered the shrimp dinner $24 with the size of shrimp that comes in Chinese food. the collards were spicy ( i was told they are not ) and the mash potatoes were SOOOOO buttery that i sent them back and refused to eat that amount of butter ..Bright yellow and slimy. the burger plate was supposed to be medium and came to the table cooked WELL. I will say the she crab soup was excellant... but we came for dinner and that was way far below standards considering the check came to $103.96 the soft shell crab for $29 only consisted of one and it was fried so so. we actually wanted it sauteed not fried.. and the check had a Hospitality charge besides the tax which together came to 13%......funny Matts burger 1 block away only charges sales tax...don't like being scammed bottom line..you would think eating the for second time would be better and not worse...think i just skip this HIGH PRICE BAR FOOD
