We were visiting from out of town and we wanted Tri tip for dinner so we look on Yelp and this was…read moresuggested . We took a look and the pictures all looked delicious so we decided to give it a try. Best decision! We got to try the Tri tip which was my favorite, but also tried the half chicken (very juicy), & brisket. For side we got the mash potatoes and Mac and cheese which both had excellent flavor. We got a side of the grilled corn which wasn't our top from the other options but still good flavor. The waitress was also very helpful and answered all the questions my hubby had (he had asked quite a bit lol) They have seating inside and out but given the afternoon was fresh we opted to sit outside. The service didn't changed we were checked on often. Either way both options seemed pleasant. All in all, We were left in food coma after in the best way possible. This was a place we're saving to go back whenever we're in the area. 10/10

This use to be out go-to place for special occasions but it has fallen to the "will not go back"…read morecategory. For starters, it is outrageously priced for what you get. I got sticker shock just looking at the menu. Over $20 for a regular wedge salad. The kicker though was the cleanliness of the place. First there was black mold growing in the drink menu. Then i looked at the brick floor ( we were sat outside) and i was disgusted (see photo). I understand that drinks and food get spilled but it doesn't take much to power wash the patio at night. My plate came out dirty with a chip on the dish-ware. The bbq bottles were sticky and congealed. Just think, if this the cleanliness of the dining room, imagine what the kitchen looks like. I have worked in the restaurant business before and this is just intolerable. Two stars for a good atmosphere (live music). But that's it. If you want great bbq, try Copper Hill BBQ. It's doesn't have the atmosphere of Smoke House but you get great BBQ and a clean environment.

I am not a big meat/BBQ person but I had ordered quite a few items on the menu to take home for dinner and they were very well received by my boys at home. I have also tried the Grilled Chopped Chicken Salad, which is pretty huge, satisfying, and full of goodies (though I am not a huge fan of salad dressing generally and did not use the dressing so I express no opinion on the sauce). The rice crispy treat was pretty great as well, the chocolates were amazing. The brussels slaw, mac & cheese and beans were all pretty good as well. My son's favorite meat is the pulled pork, following by the tri-tip. My husband likes the ribs and chicken. I thought the hot links were pretty good but may be a bit too spicy for my boys. The BBQ sauces are very good and not overly sweet. They even have the beyond burger/vegetarian/vegan options. Not only the food is tasty, I find them to be of high quality and good value for Santa Monica standard. Will add it to one of my regular places to bring dinner home.
