Smoakie Kitchen

Good BBQ in Laveen, AZ? - YESThis place surprised me. The meat was super juicy and amazingly spiced! Try the brisket and the ribs. Also BBQ lamb?! I liked the Hot BBQ sauce better than the regular. Pro Tip: GET the cornbread

Food was decent and the bbq sauce was really good. I got the chicken and tips and it was pretty well seasoned. Collard Greens and Mac n Cheese were bland the potato salad was really good. Cornbread was absolutely heaven! Went in and the place was dead and the person there spent a good 5 minutes on the phone and didn't acknowledge I was there. Almost walked out but was craving some bbq. Overall I would go back.

The food is always fresh, the owner is always engaging, I love to patronize local businesses

Went here for dinner the other night during a break at work. As usual the food was fantastic. I got the brisket plate and hit links with a side of Mac and cheese. The location is a smaller setting but nice and it is clean with about 8-10 tables. As soon as we walked in, even though the guy behind the counter was busy he greeted us and told us he would be right with us. It didn't take long to place our order and likewise we didn't have to wait long to receive our food. As always, a pleasure

The meat was cold, the greens tasted like canned veggies, the brisket was super dry, and the corn on the cob seemed like it was just boiled straight out of a bag. Seriously, don't waste your time eating here. Plus, the price is awful for what you get.

We were on the hunt for a good BBQ place so we tried this place out. On the menu it said Fatty Brisket and that about sums up most of our meal. We should have left after seeing that as their advertisement for brisket. We also ordered ribs, chicken and pulled pork. The pulled pork was the only good meat, It was lots of tiny pieces, I had never seen pulled pork like this before but it was lean and tasty. The BBQ sauce sat on the table all the containers were sticky and a mess so besides looking at a plate of really fatty BBQ and messing BBQ containers we lost our appetite. The beans were tasty, the Mac and Cheese tasted like it had cheese wiz in it, the corn bread had good flavor but needed to be eaten with a spoon because it totally crumbled everywhere, the potato salad was good. We will not go back, still on the hunt for a good BBQ place in Arizona.

Great food and great service. Definately coming back to enjoy some more of their fatty brisket !

10/10 would recommend, the food was hitting. I most definitely tore it up and will come back soon.

-Brisket was dry as some of the other reviews stated-Brisket sandwich was also dry and the buns were crumbling (look like the bread was kinda bad or about to expire)-Bbq beans had to much bbq sauce -I pour bbq on the brisket and it made it taste better -Mac and cheese was mid- service was quick though

I haven't been to smokies in a long while and I see why. These BBQ bean we're HARD AS A ROCK! They were not done. I won't be back even longer.
