I can see why Wayne's Smoke Shack is so highly rated!
Based on the reviews, I was prepared for a line out the door during lunchtime. I was surprised to see only a few people inside (I wonder if the sudden snowfall had something to do with it). More BBQ for us I guess!
- Brisket: We ordered a pound, which sounds like a lot, doesn't look like a lot (4 thick slices), but as other reviews have said, it's also deceptively filling! We were given the option of choosing either the juicy part or the more lean part, which no other BBQ joint we've been to has done before.
- Macaroni and cheese: Thick and creamy.
- Homemade bread: Soft, fluffy, and perfect for making a brisket sandwich.
- A pickled jalapeno: The Mr thought I would like an entire pickled jalapeno for some reason lol. I like that it wasn't too sour.
- BBQ sauces: OG was definitely our favorite; classic savory and sweet. The mustard one was nice as well. The heat has a nice kick. For some reason it reminded me of the Mexican candies I had as a kid (maybe hinting at a tamarind flavor?)
I think everything is a la carte. Their BBQ sauces are not complimentary; you pay for each one, but it's quite affordable. There are so many sides to choose from! I'd love to come back and try their homemade banana pudding and sticky toffee bun.
I wish I had been better about getting names, but everyone here was friendly and you can tell how passionate they are about their craft. The place is big with plenty of seating. Located in a plaza with plenty of parking. read more
