Happy hour food was amazing! Service from Luis was tremendous. Highly recommend. Especially the burnt end tacos.

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

very nice atmosphere. we went to the rooftop bar to eat. I got the brisket sandwich with beans. the brisket sandwich was good but the meat was a little drier than I wanted. the sauce I added fixed that. the beans were really good with some meat mixed in 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

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

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

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

We arrived approximately 8:30 so well before closing and food and service were just horrible. Brisket was dry and flavorless, ribs were tender but dry, pulled pork was moist but not a lot flavor. Basic fries and potato salad was nasty. Cole slaw was edible and baked beans were good. Wings were dry as well. The service was horrible and my wife and I used to serve. We for our drinks and they were never refilled. A runner brought our food out and the server did walk by but never returned until we were sitting there waiting on our check. He asked about the food then but no use complaining 30 min later. Disappointing as this was recommended by a family member and they loved it. Service really killed it for us and this was $100 meal even with my wife and I splitting a plate. 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

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

We came for happy hour and our server Luis was awesome! He's so nice, accommodating and super speedy with our food and drinks. We appreciate that he turned on the fans when the weather was muggy in the front porch seating area. Great overall atmosphere and dining experience read more

We love the atmosphere! the food was incredible! but our server was absolutely the BOMB!!!! so helpful, likable, cute, funny, knowledgeable and awesome! Lyla was wonderful! we would come back just to have her again! read more

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

Lyla was the BEST server! Great food and amazing service make this place the one to visit

The food. Amazing. They are known for their ribs and for good reason. They come so nice and tender, and they give you their variety of sauces to add yourself. My mom got this with chicken, but we don't recommend the latter. Chicken was incredibly dry. Everything else, the salmon, cornbread, potato, perfect. Don't get me started on that BOWL - meats were devine and perfect way to try a bit of everything. The rooftop has this great view, feel, and bar with some couches to watch the big screen. I recommend it on a nice day. Just be prepared for the wait because the bartender ended up being our server. He sorta forgot about us, entered our food late, and just lacked personality. Entrees came out at peculiar times too, the bowl coming out fifteen minutes before my family's. If you're looking for a stunning spot for the game or just relaxation with amazing ribs, this is definitely worth the stop. read more

Doesn't get any better! Service Price Speedy Clean And tasty We usually find our way to the bar dining out. Bar service is top notch at Smokehouse! If Edwina happens to be working, you are in luck! She is friendly and doesn't stop moving! If you need fantasy football advice stop in, grab a bite and a beer and talk to her! Smokehouse is THE place to watch sports. Tons of tvs. Sound for big games. Personal favorites on the menu are the weekly smash burger, anything out of the smoker (ask for the house vinegar sauce ), the award winning mac and cheese and the Reuben! read more

Takeout is a disaster! After order was placed estimated time changed to 20 min later, then received text that order was ready 10 min after the new estimated time, but it wasn't actually ready. It didn't come out for another 40 min after that. I only order 2 meals and they did not include the BBQ sauce. They did send a gift card but I really don't want to go back after this experience. read more

My friend and I were in HH for the week and she wanted ribs. I'd been to The Smokehouse several times and decided to take here there. It just happened to be on a rainy Sunday however we sat outside anyway. Our waiter Luis was as very accommodating. I'm a picky eater and he brought me extra celery for my chicken wings and sauce on the side. Our hightop table was a bit unbalanced, when we mentioned this to Luis he was quick to fix it! As many of you might know it's rather humid in the south and any glass sweats all over your table. When we mentioned this to Luis he came back with a koozie for our glasses! He's definitely a #1 waiter! read more

Great service fabulous food and a very friendly atmosphere. The server was incredibly knowledgeable friendly and helpful

Absolutely loved the food! We had wings and tacos during happy hour! Very personable staff and love the ambiance! Will definitely be back!

Good food & svc every time we went! We usually go at least once weekly, so we select different menu items, but all see prepared well & taste great, read more

I really had high hopes for this place, but I was a bit disappointed. When I go to a bbq spot, my go to 90% is brisket. So we ordered the potato skins as an appetizer, and I got the brisket as my entree. I will say that the potato skins were large and loaded with cheese, bacon, and chives. They also included brisket. They were good, but they were a bit overcooked. The skins were pretty hard to bite into at certain parts. So again, I ordered the brisket plate as my entree, and I got the baked beans and coleslaw as my sides. Visually, I was disappointed in the brisket. Each piece was about the width of a strip of bacon and they tasted so dry. I wanted to like these, but I couldn't. I've had much better brisket at Mission BBQ. The coleslaw was good, but a bit plain. I added salt and pepper, and that helped. Now for the good: the beans didn't look appetizing (they looked a bit like soup), but they were so good! The flavor was on point. Also, the cornbread was really good. Our server, Mark, was absolutely amazing. He handled our group of 9 well, and was super sweet. So shoutout to him! read more

We stopped by at 1:30 PM today. Three ladies were at the hostess booth. One seated us, and told us a server would be there shortly. The place was nearly empty. Watched someone bus tables and the bartender slice lemons for 15 minutes. The hostess stand was deserted. We got up and left. It's a shame. It smelled great, but they won't see us again. read more

AWESOME--Food and service! After hours spent at the beach, we decided to have ribs for dinner--what a treat--as we knew it would be! We have had the baby back ribs on other visits and enjoyed them. Even after a 10-year hiatus from HHI and The Smokehouse (formerly Joe's Smokehouse), we found the ribs, beans, and cornbread just as we remembered. Everything was DELICIOUS! As far as service, we ordered our meal online just before leaving the beach. When we arrived at The Smokehouse, the wait was less than 10 minutes for our carryout order. Every staff member encountered at the restaurant was courteous and helpful in providing directions to the pickup area for carry out orders. Overall, a pleasant dining experience. read more

Amazing barbecue and the perfect location for watching sports. TVs everywhere. There's indoor, outdoor and bar seating. High tops, low tops you name it. Our waitress, Rachel, was fabulous and working so hard. My husband had the smokehouse plate with chicken, brisket, pulled pork and baby back ribs. All were good but the pulled pork was the standout. You get to pick 2 sides and there's so many options. We had cole slaw and grilled vegetables which were great. There's sauces on the table to accompany your food and we particularly liked the mustard sauce. For dessert we shared the peanut butter pie which was the perfect combination of chocolate and peanut butter. The smokehouse is a must do for any smoked barbecue fan! read more

Forgettable. About as authentic BBQ as a Chili's . Lots of tv screens though for watching a game.

We had lunch here today and everything was absolutely delicious! My sister and I split the fried green tomatoes. Best I have ever had! We also split the potato skins and they were also delicious! My husband had the smoked brisket sandwich with coleslaw and my sister's friend ordered the pulled pork platter with baked beans and coleslaw. We travel frequently together and rarely all four of us agree on a 5 star review. Our waitress Brenna was very attentive with a friendly personality. read more
