The Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Hilton Head Island, South Carolina

Nice atmosphere inside. The food was great and our server Luis G was outstanding!! We would definitely return

Service was great and the staff was friendly, the food came out pretty quickly. I got the sliders and they could've used more seasoning however, we did get there a little before closing. They have 2 floors, a good amount of tvs and outdoor seating. The bathroom was clean which is impressive for right before closing on a Saturday night. read more

Had dinner this evening with my pops. We ate at the smokehouse this is my first meal to go out from moving from Florida to Bluffton. I got the dirty Shirley martini. I told my dad it tasted like it had enough vodka to kill a horse. He thought it was funny and I had a lemon iced water for dinner. I had the steak with a double side of beans and my dad had the pork sandwich with a side of beans. Our server today is Sloan. She is very nice and attentive. However, my dad didn't have to ask for a cup of ice water with lemon. Today is a little bit busy. We got in around 645 7 PM. However they had a couple tables for parties of two still available. If you are in the area, I definitely recommended however, Sunday night it's a little bit packed! 10/10 read more

My husband and I have now eaten at the Smokehouse three times and we've always had a great time. The service is friendly and prompt; the food comes out quickly; the food itself is excellent; pricing is reasonable; and they have a great selection of beer on tap. What more could you ask for? I've had the BBQ pork platter twice, and today I had the smash burger special for lunch. Everything is always delicious - their BBQ sauces are great too. Looking forward to eating here again! read more

This was probably some of the worst BBQ I've ever had. Everything was extremely dry. Brisket was so dry I could sand a board with it and the pulled pork might as well been what was sanded from the board. The ribs fell off the bone but were also dry. I sent pictures to my coworker and he said as a native Texan he was absolutely offended that this was even called Texas Brisket. I've smoked brisket at home that was better than this, and I'm talking about the first attempt at smoking brisket. So disappointing. The party behind us was so loud that I couldn't hear myself think. Luckily the party next us said something to the waiter read more

Rooftop area is great. BBQ is solid. The chairs in front of the big TV are not comfortable at all. Would have watched the game longer and spent more money if they were... read more

All time favorite to come for wings and things!! Football season is almost here and we love to come game day treats Service is always served with politeness and kindness read more

When we are visiting Hilton head we make sure to eat at the smokehouse. The onion loaf is so good but very large best for more than 2 people. My husband said The ribs were the best he has had. Friendly staff. read more

Convenient location-great place to be if you're a sports fan and games are on. Lots of seating options, and quite busy on a beautiful December Sunday afternoon. Service was attentive and super friendly. The meats were excellent, but we too didn't like any of our sides. No flavor whatsoever. read more

Luis, he was great and it was very quick and efficient. I love the happy hour here we had a great experience.

First of all, Savannah (Banana, lol) is an outstanding server. She is very attentive, friendly, and professional. Smokehouse is always on our regular rotation because they have a varied menu with excellent weekly specials. The food is always great and well prepared. I would highly suggest trying any of their weekly specials. They are typically really tasty. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants on Hilton Head Island. The restaurant is clean and very welcoming. They have plenty of outside seating and a decent inside section as well. I grabbed one of their specials this week, award winning Mac and Cheese- pork belly and pobalno macaroni and cheese made with a creamy blend of white cheddar and pepper jack cheese. Topped with bacon and bread crumbs. I also got wings, smoked with mild bbq sauce. The Mac and cheese was very flavorful and very nice presentation. The wings had a very nice flavor and were cooked perfectly. read more

Food was really good, service was majorly lacking. When we came in it was clear they were super understaffed, there were at least three tables near us that needed to be bussed and by the time we left (over an hour later), two of them still needed to be bussed. I've never really seen that before but I know a lot of places are struggling to get employees so I'm assuming that was the problem here. Idk if this place is like that all the time but if so, prepare for it to be slow. Service was slow and refills took a long time coming. We weren't in a hurry so it wasn't really a big issue for us. That being said, we all enjoyed our meals. I got the brisket sandwich because their meats smelled absolutely amazing as soon as we walked in. The brisket was moist and the fries were hot and crispy. They have three sauces you can try, one like sweet, one hot, and one mustard based. I liked the sweet one. It isn't too sweet but went well with the meat. I also got garlic aioli on the side and it was my favorite condiment here. Very garlicky and was great on the fries. read more

Luis was a great server. He was attentive, punctual, and friendly. Great job. Cho's was great.

It was date night with another couple. The Smokehouse doesn't take reservations, but that shouldn't be an issue since they can accommodate many hungry guests. There's plenty of parking in their private lot. I thought they were supposed to have a car charging station, but I couldn't find it. We arrived just as happy hour was ending around 6 pm. They do have some great happy hour specials and hopefully I'll be back to enjoy them. We were quickly seated at a booth in the dining area away from the bar. Jack was our waiter and did an excellent job. I ordered the Butt & Bones taking the ribs and pulled pork. My wife had the black bean burger which she said was excellent. The ribs were quite tiny. The end of the baby backs. Fortunately they gave a lot of pulled pork which was perfectly smoked and very tender and not fatty. The dinner came with corn bread, grilled veggies and mac & cheese. Very filling. Plus 2 pints of Side Hustle Liquid Gold. The prices are reasonable. They have a great selection of craft beer on draft and an offering of signature cocktails. Checkout is provided by Toast and they also have a rewards program. read more

The layout of The Smokehouse is not what you expect a BBQ restaurant to look like. They have outdoor seating in the front, on the side and on the rooftop (that's not including all of the indoor seating). This place is massive, modern and definitely newer. The only side I liked was the beans honestly. The potato salad, grilled veggies and green bean casserole lacked flavor but the fries were good as well. The second round of ribs that were actually warm weren't too bad and they were better especially after adding their house made BBQ sauce. I felt the same way about the brisket, it lacked flavor but the BBQ sauce made it better. The pecan pie stole the show and that's why I gave this place 4 stars. It's easily probably one of the best pecan pies I've ever tasted. They put the chocolate sauce OTS and when I paired them; decadence! Our server was good too, I don't remember his name though because I wasn't there during the intro. read more

Belle was terrific, possibly the greatest service I've ever had. My food was also gas 11/10

The food and service at this place was amazing! The baked beans were the best I've ever had. My wife must have had like 20 questions on the menu and our server, Baylee, was able to answer all of them knowledgeably. She also offered for my kids sweet tea to go cups at the end. The Smikehouse has a good one in Baylee! Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

I met some friends at The Smokehouse for lunch. Our server, Luis, was delightful, and did a good job in making sure we were all happy. The Food! OMGoodness, it was wonderful. Had their signature pulled pork plate, and there was lots of it! No skimping at all! Even had to take some home, but that only doubles the pleasurable experience of the meal! The only downside to the restaurant is that it is SO NOISY !!! It was hard to hear each other. Other than that... Highly Recommended! read more

Amazing brisket and pulled pork. Savanna was awesome and recommended all good choices.

Rib is good, strongly recommended and we had a good time there Food coming fast enough read more

Luis what's a great server and very prompt to get our order in and very friendly? And was also Very attentive and brought our orders promptly, checked whether we wanted any more food, any more, or if we wanted any additional food and drinks read more

Finally got a chance to actually eat here--had only been for drinks prior. There were 5 of us and we were immediately seated at 5:30 pm in the dining area on a Thursday. The bar area was crowded and hopping! Our server, Allison C was attentive and friendly and checked in frequently. I had the Kansas City burnt ends plate from the Specials board. It came with baked beans, pickle slaw and steak fries. I'm a sucker for Carolina-style sauce too. Wondered if I could have swapped out the fries for cornbread? It was delicious nonetheless. Other entrees included the chicken Caesar wrap, boneless ribs, fried bologna sliders (forgot to photograph), Butt & Bones plate, and Smokehouse Bowl. Everyone enjoyed their meals, leaving no room for dessert, but I have my eye on the key lime pie for next visit. read more

Food was 3 stars and atmosphere & service were 5 stars - so it equates to 4. We've been to lots of bbq places in the US as well as one back home in Connecticut which is pretty good, so we felt we could compare pretty fairly. My husband got the brisket platter which was kind of underwhelming for $24. His sides were Cole slaw which was neither good or bad, and baked beans which he said was good. He asked for lean meat, which it was, but just not that great. There was a piece of cornbread too. I had a brisket sandwich for $15 with burnt ends (up charge of $2.50 - totally expected & worth it) shoestring Fries came in one of those cute metal baskets. Totally fine - probably from frozen vs homemade. The place was crowded for a cold January day. The bar was packed as they have happy hour Monday-Friday. I heard it had burned down & was rebuilt - the interior was very nice, open & airy. Lots of tvs to watch football on. Our server was great & the food was out in mere minutes. I'm told in summer, you can't get near the place (crowds), but I think that's just most places on Hilton Head. read more

Great happy hour with a great selection of items. Great price and staff. We go every year we are on island.

Stopped in for a late lunch today, place was not very crowded, have visited Smokehouse several times, always good food and service, not today, arrived around 2:00pm and as I said no crowd, dropped the wife off and went to park the car, assuming she would have a table or booth in the dining area, she was still waiting at the hostess station as no one was there , finally we were seated and a server came over to take our drink order, ok fine..... now he takes our food order , I order a cup of chili and ask if I could just order a baloney sandwich, at first he said no they only come as sliders, I said you mean to tell me I can't order fried baloney on a bun as a sandwich, said let me check, so now my wife orders , she ask for burnt ends which she has had here before and really likes them , not as sliders just burnt ends, so when the server returns with our food mine looks good and is fine (a fried baloney sandwich, imagine that)... he starts to drop off my wife's and before we can say anything he realizes he had brought a pulled pork sandwich and takes it back quickly returns with just the pulled pork on a plate, telling us this is a order of burnt ends, not so , what we think happened he took the pulled pork sandwich back scrapped off the meat and called it burnt ends, not wanting to argue with the sever or call a manager we accepted and left very irritated with the service from the server, was not very friendly or professional (he must have been having a bad day) love this place and food and will return , but today the service not so good.....!!! read more

It's all fried foods ... and I do have a father in law who is a master rib griller ... so it's hard to impress us with ribs... they cook their ribs here without a sauce and they're dry. Great place to watch your sports, but that's really it. No mocktails for those of us who do not drink. Just not a fan. I'll give it a 2 only because of how we just don't care for it. read more

Great food and great service! Luis was wonderful! Smokehouse is one of our favorites!

Ollie and Edwina are fantastic bartenders! They're both genuinely kind, welcoming, and make every visit feel special. They're attentive without being overbearing, keep the drinks coming, and always bring such positive energy. It's clear they care about their guests and take pride in what they do. Definitely a big reason to come back--thank you, Ollie and Edwina! read more
