Up in Smoke BBQ

Great food and service. Bbq is excellent. Large portions barely made a dent in my meal.

What a disappointment! I received a Facebook messenger buy 1 sandwich get one free coupon. Attached is photo of Brisket. Dry and cut in chunks, weird. I didn't eat the bun. Sauces were good. Now the nastiest of all, Cuban. The price of each sandwich was $18.99 and tax $20.08, but you get one side. Now the Cuban, where's the pickles? This sandwich was dry pulled pork and sliced up sausages! WTF! With mustard, and melted cheese. Go to Maneas's and order their Cuban at $6 something and be blown away. I will dig in the garbage to get a picture. You do get 2 half hoagies, but who can eat that much? Now I got a coupon for free barbecue egg roll. I cannot in good conscious recommend. Brisket should be sliced, not in chunks!

Good meat, but the sides are severely lacking Specifically the bun (just a basic hamburger bun heated up), and the Mac and cheese which was bland. On top of this, the sides were also very small for the price.

Food was very good. The brisket was just a little dry but excellent flavor. Pulled pork was very good. The ribs were good. We really enjoyed the cheese curds, BBQ beans and corn muffin tops. We were disappointed they were out of chicken wings (5:30pm Friday night). The kitchen seemed to be rather disorganized. Assuming the cashier was very new. They must do more carry out than dine in as they only have 4 high top tables and one low top table.

So my greedy self came across this place by accident on YouTube when Randy Sartell was doing a challenge here. The food looked delicious and I live close so put two and two together. Lol. I ordered a three meat combo with ribs pulled pork and jalapeno sausage. The owner was super nice and is a really great guy I'd come here for the customer service alone I like that they aren't stingy with sauce get the spicy one its fantastic so as for the food what can I say it's really good .the potato salad is by far my favorite side but the Mac and cheese and cheesy potato casserole isn't bad either. The pulled pork was tender and moist the ribs were also very tender and tasty. The sausage is sausage I mean is there a bad one lol. This place is a solid 4.5 IMO.

Okay friends. You know I'm a BBQ snob. When my family suggested we should stop in here for food on the way to the cities, I thought surely their standards had lowered. They hadn't. This place is phenomenal. I've been to Memphis, St Louis, Kansas City and Nashville. These might be the best ribs I've had anywhere. And I really mean anywhere. They're moist, well seasoned, flavorful, fall off the bone flavor. I ate wayyy past full because I don't know when I'll have ribs like that again. Warning though: a half rack is way too much for one person. I tried some of the brisket and it was pretty dang good too. Not quite like the best of Kansas City, but it is better than average in Kansas City. B+ in KC, A+ this far north. I can in good faith and with confidence tell you to eat here. As you know, I have a mild wheat allergy. The man working the counter helped me navigate the menu to order things that would keep me safe. Ambiance is nice but fairly quiet, so really great if you want to talk, but not super private. Seating is fairly limited, but the chairs are crazy comfortable. My biggest regret is I don't have pictures to entice you to try it out. It's a great place to eat. Easiest 5/5 stars I've given in a while.

We finally got here after watching a food challenge on YouTube (Randy Santel), we loved it and we will be back! We had Long Horn sandwich, 2 meat player and Mac and cheese bowl with brisket and the smokin up Joe. Nothing was disappointed it was all great! The Mac and cheese side was smoked and it was amazing! We can't wait to go again and try something different.

I'm a big fan of good bbq, so when I recently came from WI to visit my bff, we decided to try Up In Smoke BBQ and we were NOT disappointed! I got the one meat plate with brisket, my friend got the Longhorn sandwich. She really liked her sando and I really enjoyed my brisket. My plate came with two sides of choice, so I went with baked beans (YUM!) and Mac & cheese. It also came with a muffintop-style cornbread, but I don't like cornbread so I can't say anything about it since I didn't eat it. But I digress. The beans were delicious, and the Mac & cheese was also very good--very cheesy. And their portion sizes are VERY generous too. You will not walk away feeling hungry! Which is good considering the cost of just my lunch (with a drink) was $25. Inside was smallish, but we just came for a quick lunch so it was perfect. Oh, the chairs were comfortable too! Nice bonus! They also had to-go containers (styrofoam containers both small and large) on the counter that you can just grab-and-go when you're done eating. Great food experience!!

If you like your smoked meat on a electric smoker then this is the place..must not be busy anymore as the meats are dried out and cold ...not good

So yummy! A great meal for New Year's Day. Excellent customer service. Relaxed atmosphere. Local spot.
