Go there quite frequently this place is the real deal for food and staff A+ thanks Smokin Pete's !

Stopped by on a recommendation from a coworker and wasn't disappointed. We got there just before noon on a Sunday and there were a few people in line in front of us, a few minutes later the line was out the door. It's counter service and the food was ready pretty quickly. We were a group of 6 and our selections covered the full spectrum; no one was disappointed, everything was great. Prices were reasonable and it's a great place to hang out. This will definitely be a regular stop. read more

There was a huge line out the door and it took a very long time to order. We were assured the wait would be worth it. It was NOT worth it. The bbq sauces were good, but the food was not worth such an incredible wait. It was honestly just mediocre. Not incredible, but just basic. I would go back if they figured out how to serve customers in a more efficient way, but as it stands now the food is just too basic and boring for me to want to stand in a line for so long. read more

Pulled pork & brisket chili tasty. Coleslaw was bland. Loved the mustard sauce. Service was fine. You place your order then pick it up at the food window. Decorated like a BBQ joint read more

Very good food. Did takeout. They forgot to give us BBQ sauce. Make sure you ask for it!

Authentic barbecue in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Always check to see if they're open because Yelp got it wrong. Best brisket EVER Best pulled pork and their sauces are excellent because you choose how much to use instead of the restaurants slathering everything so you can't see or taste the quality of the meat. These people are for real. The sides are tasty too! Especially the beans which have actual pieces of meat in them for flavor. It's not a fancy place by any means. It's rough and has a well stocked bar with everything. Highly recommended!!! read more

Smokin Pete's is a fun place to eat. Portion sizes are large, prices seem fair and the food is pretty good! My plate was a 2 meat (ribs & brisket). The ribs were delicious, but I've had lots better brisket elsewhere. It had good flavor, but the texture was dry. The sides were good and the cornbread was very good. read more

This was one of the best barbecue restaurants I've ever been to, as soon as you walk in you can tell that the folks on the smoker know exactly what they are doing. We had the brisket topped tater tot's and wings with three sauces: Alabama White, Maple Bacon Bourbon Barbecue, and Buff-a-cue. Each item was delicious and perfectly cooked. read more

I am SO glad we stopped at Smokin' Pete's for dinner when we were visiting the area. The bartender was super helpful and had great recommendations on food and drink options. Didn't mind the wait for the food because it was definitely worth it. The loaded tots and smokehouse tacos were amazing, as were the wings. They've definitely got a winning formula here, as was evident by the amount of people inside when we arrived. read more

Always amazing BBQ, sides, deserts, and service! Go to place when in the Seneca Lake/Geneva area. Best bourbon selection in the finger lakes hands down. Check out the special bar top! read more

this spot had really amazing smoked meat and barbecue. I will definitely be coming back. They have a large menu with a lot of selections. They also have indoor and outdoor seating with games and it is very family friendly. The waitress who helped us was super friendly. read more

Smokin Petes - birria brisket tacos, brisket loaded tots, chicken wings - Barbeque Near Me - Geneva, New York

2nd time visit. 1st great, 2nd bad. Cold Pork sandwich and chicken wings very pink and not done. Was told by kitchen that every order would be the same and would not be able to cook any more. Did not eat wings. Under cooked and didn't want to get sick. Over priced at $48. Won't be returning. It's a tourist trap. read more

What a great hidden gem. If you like BBQ,Bourbon, Beer and music then you'll love this place. The atmosphere is laid back and enjoyable. We did go during the week at lunch time so it wasn't overly crowded which was actually nice. The bartender and cooks in the kitchen were very friendly. I would highly recommend checking SMOKIN Pete's out if you find yourself near Seneca lake. We will definitely be back next time we go for a scenic drive through the finger lakes. read more

I found this nice local bar/BBQ on my travels in the Finger Lake region. What a wonderful find. Nothing fancy. But the food was outstanding. The decor was your typical local kind of feel. I like that though. I have gotten great food and drinks in these types of places. They have a decent size bar. You stand in a line at the corner of the bar to place your order for food and drinks. They give you the round pager to let you know when your food is done. Meanwhile you can find a seat. There was a line (good sign). It moved quickly. When your pager lights up and beeps, you proceed to pick it up at a window/pass through. There are plenty of condiments, napkins, plastic ware, etc. here. The ribs are to die for!! They have a rub on them. The ribs & brisket I got were prepared by wood fire. It had this wonderful Smokey flavor. Don't know about the drinks though. Just had a water. It is a decent size place. Seating in front and a back room too. Outside area with seating was great. Corn hole out there. If you like barbecue, I highly recommend Smokin' Pete's if you are in the area. read more

All the food we had was amazing very friendly service large serving this is are new go to bbq place

I am genuinely disappointed/sad that this BBQ place is nearly 5 hours from me. In the nearly half century I have walked the earth I have not found a place that has mastered Ribs, Brisket, Wings, and Pulled Pork. We also orders half the sides on the menu and they were great...mostly. I am a bit of a connoisseur and snobby when it comes to coleslaw. The coleslaw was a Mayo base (which I love) yet it was a light Mayo base/light mixture and lacked flavor.... Yet it was okay. Additionally, I enjoyed the cornbread but the portion control on it was definitely small which is weird because everything else was fair or a good size. A MUST TRY! read more

Unbelievably great food!!! It made two fasters eat like there is no tomorrow. There the brisket was fantastic. read more

Wow, wow, wow! That was the absolute best rack of ribs I have had in years! I was visiting from Albany and these ribs were spiced with a zesty dry rub and the meat was so tender and falling off the bone! The tater tots that came with the rib dinner has the perfect amount of spices and a delicious crunchy coating. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are within an hours drive. read more

Not very good and pricey!!!! The option I thought was vegetarian was just a hamburger with vegetables. I so wanted to like it too.

This is not a BBQ place I would recommend. It's all self service, you get everything from putting your order in to getting up and waiting for someone at the bar to get you a refill, line is directly in front of the main exit entrance, food is ok no flavor, portions are on the smaller side, overpriced and I can't believe there tater tot's won any awards. read more

The food was absolutely insane, and the portions were crazy. Everything I had as well as my family was delicious. The service was great as well, kind and somewhat quick. I will say it can get VERY busy but it's worth the wait. read more

They have a great beer selection and it's a fun place to hang out. The BBQ was ok, but not much smoke. The sides were ok, but nothing to write home about. I'd stop in again for a beer, but I wouldn't wait 45 minutes for the food. read more

Never disappoints. Great food out door seating is great this time of year service is pretty good

Great bbbq place! Food is all done to authentic bbq style as well as the ordering. Order and then pick up when ready. Ribs are amazing, wings are smoky with different sauces available, brisket done perfectly, pulled pork nachos or taters are great too. If you like, bbq or meats you will appreciate the food here! Also, if you are a bourbon lover, their choices are extensive on their collection. read more

Everything is Spot on. Flavor , texture, creativity. Wonderful. Got the Pete's Trio and added Pulled pork. Didn't finish. And live no waiters. Get up and get yourself. Bam. No wait. And what's left. Go get your own Home Containers. No. We will be back. Love BBQ. And they do it well. read more
