Holy Smoke BBQ

If you want friendly service and great food, this is the place! Fall off the bone ribs and tender brisket with a perfect bark.

I can't rate the food as I haven't tried it, but I did have a poor experience. I place an order for pick up on a Saturday. It was a large order of pulled pork and sides for a birthday party. I drove to Ceredo to pick it up on Saturday to find out that they were closed due to a water leak. Upon checking their Facebook page, the restaurant closed down on Friday. I understand not being able to fulfill my order, but it would have been appreciated to get a heads up call on Friday. That way I could have had time to make other arrangements, or the very least, not drive the 30 minutes one way to get there.

Having read the reviews and having met the family that's running the place, I feel that my food experience was a "one-off". So I will give a neutral rating.Staff/Service - 5 starsFood - 1 starPlace is a dive. Came in at 11:08 Saturday morning and we were the only customers in but they were very busy. Advanced orders were stacked on most of the dining tables. Found out Marshall was having their Homecoming game and most of the orders were for tailgating customers. They were putting together orders or double checking orders to make sure everything ordered was all there.The staff was super friendly and accommodating even though they were not ready for customers dining in. Had to clear a table to sit us. Should have left then but was really craving barbecue and I knew they're closed on Sundays.Ordered the sampler (Brisket, Ribs & Smoked wings w/ mac n cheese & chicken n dumplings) and this is where it went downhill. Look at the photos of the plate, it didn't look appetizing, smoked wings were tough n chewy. The ribs were okay, rub had good flavor just maybe a tad heavy handed on the cinnamon/cocoa. Brisket was tender and was flavorful. My main issue was, aside for the sides, the food was cool, not cold (you know that temp where you take food out of the fridge and heat it up in the microwave but not long enough to get hot?). The steaming smoked wings photo was straight from the microwave. They looked good but imagine how smoked wings taste after being nuked to steaming level, not good :(I have to mention that their chicken n dumplings is great!!Best one I've had in all my travels.Bottom line is that I believe it was a one-off experience and I will come back to give them a try again. Super friendly people and very accommodating, one lady even gave us samples of their dessert. But I will turn around and leave if I don't see any smoke coming from the smokers - not a good sign.

I am visiting and a friend brought me to what is, apparently, the new location that they moved to awhile back. The service was great, portions generous but not gluttonous, and the food top-notch. Looking forward to eating my leftovers today!

Flew into HTS and the airport staff recommended this place. Thank God they did. Food was great, staff was extremely friendly and offered us so many samples I almost got full of of samples. Don't let the crappy review fool you, this place is great.

My husband and I got takeout. It came to nearly $40. The portions were very small, and the food was average at best. The girl at the counter seemed annoyed that she had to wait on me. We won't be back.

Don't know where else you can find a chicken and dumplings place on a weekday in this area. Not only that, but they are really good. It's the drop kind and they are moist all the way to the center. (Like grandma made). The baked beans are amazing. Macaroni cheese, hash brown casserole, chocolate meringue pie, and.limoncello cake, all delicious. Will be trying more on the menu.

Do NOT order the "brisket". I can't imagine that it's actually smoked considering it was yellow and came out STEAMING HOT like it came out of the microwave. Service was good but I would not go here again. 1.5-10

I found this place while working nearby. The food and service were great! The prices are reasonable. If I'm in the area again I'll definitely be back.

I haven't had this BBQ yet but I hear it's really good. I can't wait to try it when I come back home.
