    Guinness soup from Smokehouse.

    Smokehouse has become one of our favorite restaurants in Dunedin, FL. After moving here 4 years ago from Atlanta, it is has become our "Cheers". Great bar with multiple TVS's and huge outdoor area, the food is consistently good and service is friendly. They offer specials each week including new soups Matt the Executive Chef has created one of my all time favorites. This Guinness soup is nothing short of outstanding. From the first spoonful, you get a deep, rich flavor that clearly comes from a well-balanced, slow-simmered broth infused with the unmistakable malty depth of Guinness. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite feels thoughtfully crafted.

    The fries and smoked turkey were so delicious from the Dunedin Smokehouse. Fun place to sit and watch some sports. Eating outside is also nice when the weather feels nice outside.

    Buffalo chicken sandwich with no bun and Sweet Potato Fries
    Avery L.

    Oh my gosh this was an amazing meal!! I am a huge sweet potato connoisseur and these were the best I have ever had. I got the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich with no bun and the Parmesan peppercorn ranch was delicious. The brussel sprouts were also really good. Sweet and garlicky with bleu cheese. My party also got the jalapeño corn bread and were literally licking the plate. Even for a Sunday lunch it wasn't busy and our food came out quick. Will definitely be back to try more!

    Chicken wings, jalapeno corn bread, Queso with beef all excellent!

    Always excellent food! This place is popping all the time! Many times they have live music as well. Servers are great. Know they get busy but they are great! The restaurant is typically clean even on the busiest of days. I love the smoked chicken wings! So good. The jalapeno corn bread is amazing and so is the Mac and cheese! So so good! There is not one thing that I have eaten from here that was not top notch! Great place to go with a great vibe!

    Sausage
    Carey H.

    This place is on the super cute Main St of Dunedin. It was good but lacks a little flavor in the meat, for the ribs. Side dishes were normal and good but nothing amazing. The sausage was a great addition. I would go again when in the area. Service was great. Server stayed on top of drinks while we dined outside.

    The Porker Combo - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, beans, and potato salad
    Rhett B.

    After a 2 and half hour round of disc golf in Clearwater, I was looking for 2 things out of a BBQ joint in the region: fresh-brewed sweet tea and if they were open on a Tuesday. After some investigation, Dunedin Smokehouse was the winner and it was a terrific find in a neighborhood with many other restaurants. I sat myself at the bar and was greeted by the bartender. I asked if she had fresh-brewed sweet tea and it did not fail as I gulped down 4 glasses of this sweet liquid gold. I went with the Porker Combo which is the 3 meat combo. I chose pulled pork and ribs and brisket for a $1.50 upcharge. I went with potato salad and beans for my sides. The ribs were amazing as they were St. Louis style, sticky, and the best part...I had to eat them with a fork! The pulled pork was tender and almost as good as the ribs. The pulled pork came with some kind of relish. The brisket was tender and better than many briskets I have had. The beans and potato salad were both made in house. The beans had a tomatoey smoky flavor. I never had a potato salad like this one! It was chunky with some kind of creamy conglomeration. I thought it was celery in it but turned out it was bell pepper, which was acceptable. There were 2 sauces on the table - a sweet sauce and an ancho mild pepper sauce. They also have other sauces you will have to ask for - a thick South Carolina Mustard that is close to a honey Mustard, a spicy ancho, and a White Alabama which was my favorite of the bunch. I will eat here again and you should too!

    Homemade Brisket Chili

    We stopped in on a Saturday night and the only available table was on the patio, but that worked fine for us as it was a beautiful evening, and they had the heaters going, so it was great. Our server Adam, was there immediately, and we got in our drink orders. He came back quickly with those and we got in our food orders. The food came out quickly as well. I got the Brisket Sandwich - nicely smoke meat, with horseradish and a soft bun. I opted for the spicier sauce, and it came in a cup in my basket. The beans were also smoky, meaty, and tasty! My wife got the chili, which was pretty tasty. It wasn't a huge bowl, but was chunky with a bit of a zing. VERY dog friendly patio--many there the night we dined. Adam was fantastic-attentive, funny, and friendly. Solid good, great atmosphere, and fantastic service.

    Their menu

    We really enjoyed this place! Particularly fun was seeing how much the staff really enjoy working there. The service was awesome, and the manager was very friendly. We got the brisket cheesesteak and pulled pork sandwich, and weren't disappointed. A must-try place if you're in Dunedin for a spell or even a quick lunch.

    Cod, Brisket, Sauteed Green Beans, Garlic Mashed Potatoes
    Ally M.

    I was so excited to finally try it here! The horseradish sauce, hand cut fries and sweet potato fries were excellent. The cornmeal crusted cod, sautéed green beans and potatoes were dreadfully under seasoned. Fried food, like the cod, needs salt after it comes out of the fryer. It seemed like they just forgot it? Kids sandwich was good, the brisket was not memorable. Would definitely order both kids of fries again and try something else for protein.

    We've tried this place a couple of times now and had overall good experiences…read more The service is good, the servers are friendly and the bar has a nice draft selection. The chicken Marsala needs improvement, the sauce didn't have great flavor and the chicken was not seasoned well. Using large (maybe portobello?) mushrooms provides a weird texture to the dish. On the other hand, when you cut into the Pork Chop, the heavens may part and angels sing. This chop is magnificent!!! We ordered on Wednesday night which offers a special Italian preparation with a tomato reduction sauce. The pork itself is so tender you can cut it with a fork. It melts in your mouth. GO for the pork chop! It's marvelous.

    Context: I'm here in Dunedin to visit my sweet 88 yr old Mom and my dear Brother. Cafe Alfresco has…read morebeen their favorite restaurant for over a decade. My Brother lives in St Pete and takes our Mom to eat there or calls in for take-out at least 2-3 times per month. We arrived tonight (Thursday) around 7:45 PM to bypass the dinner rush. Walking in to be seated, I noticed several empty tables that had not yet been cleared with several people waiting outside to be seated. I was told "there will be at least a 10-15 minute wait, to give my name, and to wait outside." I thought maybe there were enough people waiting already to take up the empty tables, but that wasn't the case. We sat outside in the cold waiting and watching the guy stand at the bar doing nothing to help bus the empty tables, some of which were right by the window. After 15 minutes or more, we were finally called in last walking by the same uncleared tables, led to another table as the table cloth was being placed on it, no menus, no apology for the extra long (unnecessary) wait outside in the cold. When we finally placed our order, we waited some more. Finally our server said "there was a mix up and our order had not gone through." When Mom's favorite seared salmon finally arrived, it was dry and overcooked. I have never written a bad review on Yelp in my life. But, I hated to see my precious Mom & Brother treated this way. Loyal customers should not be taken for granted.

    Always a great time at Rosie's!!! The popcorn is the very best EVER! They have other munchies…read moreavailable too that are great. The bartenders... AMAZING! Those guys are always on their game. Always greeted with a friendly smile and hello with a prompt service of your drink of choice. These guys are so good that they can recall most every person's favorite drink! Now that is awesome. The place is always clean even when a bit of popcorn is dropped from customers, it is not long before it is cleaned up. The tables are cleaned regularly and the staff picks up empties all the time and ready to provide you with a refill. Don't forget to look for the "Dog-Pig" it is a thing, and you may end up with a free drink when you find it. The outside has tables ready for you on those great days and evenings you want to sit outside. Most every weekend, they have live entertainment outside (when the weather permits). Rosie's is truly a gem and a great place to go. Everyone loves Rosie's in Dunedin. I highly recommend this place. There are no such things as strangers, just friends that have not met yet!

    I've only been once, it was a Monday night - it was not as quiet as I'd expect!…read moreI'm not sure I'd call it a dive as some do... I sat right up at the bar with a couple friends... service was friendly. Full of life, full of fun, Charlie the bartender is one of the best ever! There's a popcorn machine, there's all kinds of wall decor, drinks are good!! And priced great. People were friendly inside. Excellent location in Dunedin... I'll need to return to get some of the live music scene in me.
