Taste the Smoke BBQ

Great food Great service!Curtis is the best chef ever. Looking forward to eating there soon

We had this for the first time a few days ago and again tonight. The staff/owners are great and very pleasant. Hubby loved it both times we have had it. Tonight was great too. My burger was finally cooked well done (burnt) like I like them. The first time it was barely cooked on one side and only cooked a little more on the other. The inside looked raw and when I took it off the bun to cook it more there was a large area of blood on the bun. I ended up cooking that one because it was so rare I would not have given it to my dogs until it was cooked more. We all have an off day so just assuming that was the case with the first order. Will definitely keep going back.

Finest tasting barbecue! Beans are fantabulous! Special Macaroni and Cheese! Tastes great! Service is top drawer. Staff and Management are engaged and welcoming. Chef Curtis is a a true artist! The ambience is true Americana. Hey! This place is the home of good taste! Taste the Smoke!

I was excited to have a BBQ spot right up the street from me. Today I was in the mood for bbq and decided to place a takeout order, I had to call three times until I finally got a hold of someone. I placed an order, picked it up and then bought it over my mother in law's house to let her have a try. Once we opened the container we were both not satisfied. The smoked sausage looked like a hot dog and tasted like it, the brisket appeared to have a lot of fat and unlike the name of the business, I tasted no smoke whatsoever. The Mac n cheese was dry and was subpar, the green beans tasted like it was canned with onions added. The two meat specials were $4 extra because I added brisket and after eating it, the $4 is extremely excessive. The three bbq sauces I received were good though. Unfortunately I won't be coming back here again. I was really hoping to have a good bbq close to me.

Never open! Always closed during business hours. And there's trash all over in the outside of the building.

As of Thursday 2/2, the sign on the door said they were open on Thursday, but they were closed. I actually managed to find them open once and the food was good. However, if I can never find them open then I don't see why I should keep trying. Somebody needs to get these people on the ball and teach them good business practices--like "be open when you say you're open"!

We stopped in yesterday before the storm. Only customers at that time, butbit was towards closing on a Sunday. What a nice place to find close to home. The meats were absolutely delicious. The sides were really tasty and fresh and the cornbread special? Delicious. (I already complained that they will only have it on Sundays! ) The self-serve kind of presentation was kind of misleading, because there was very little for us to get ourselves. Excellent service and a great meal. Spread the word!

Service was great, variety of BBQ sauces was good, I understand they just opened as a business so I will give them another chance to redeem themselves.As a BBQ enthusiast I can't let the amount of FAT on the brisket slide. There was more fat than meat. There was no smoke ring on the brisket and tasted like it was not cooked on a smoker hence the amount of fat that didn't rendering down. Did not live up to the name Taste the Smoke the food was smokeless.See picture below.

If I could give it 0 stars I would. This was my first and last time. I was happy to see a new place and when I entered I was excited to see African American ownership but that quickly dissipated as I saw the food. It taste just like it looks. All the disgusting bake beans was in the bottom of the bag, the chicken is dryer than Arizona in July and the burnt mac and cheese taste like it was made with new focus hope cheese that doesn't melt. I'm not a fan of wasting food but it went directly to the garbage. $14 down the drain. I'm glad I didn't spend $26 for 1 bone of beef rib. The container looks like a back yard barbecue from your Auntie house. The inside needs some sprucing up. I still can't understand why the 2 slices of white bread? The only good thing about this place is the staff were pleasant.

We stopped in tonight and wow. Great and the fastest service, which nowadays is impossible. The ribs and the chicken had the tastiest rub on them. I personally thought they were better than Famous Daves. The chicken could not have been more tender. The chef came out and greeted us as we were leaving. Faygo was the soft drink they had and it was a change and a good one to us. Definitely worth the money. We will definitely go back.
