BEWARE: We went to grab dinner at Up in Smoke and waited almost an hour for what ended up being…read moreincredibly disappointing food that we threw away. We ordered 2 pounds of brisket at nearly $60 in just brisket. When we got home and opened it, the meat was gray, tasted off, very old and was covered in coarse black pepper. It was so excessive that it completely overpowered the flavor. I was ticked. I took pictures of exactly what we received and ultimately threw it away. We also ordered the $12 Brussels sprouts. The container was tiny (see photo) with a very small portion, and the sprouts were extremely mushy--definitely not deep fried. I emailed Up in Smoke about our experience and included pictures of the brisket, but received no response. $100+ for dinner, an almost hour-long wait, listening to the employee complain endlessly about staffing issues and being so busy. Most of it ended up being food we were scared to eat. Extremely disappointing experience. Buyer beware. OWNER STILL HAS NOT RESPONDED!!! (2WEEKS LATER)

I got the Athena salad while there and it was absolutely incredible. Bursting with flavor and so filling. I am still thinking about it weeks later. I would highly recommend stopping in!

When done eating and ready to pay the bill we learned that a 20% tip was automatically added. Keep in mind there is no wait staff.

We knew this was the way this establishment was set up, no problem with that. But why do I have to leave a 20% tip, the same type of tip I leave when I have a meal at a full service restaurant? Just raise the prices by 20%.

Service was pretty good and efficient although the servers were not the friendliest but they were nice enough. It was a very busy Sunday so maybe they were just tired by the time we came in at 12:30. It's a nice modern looking place that look like a lot of locals enjoy going to especially for Sunday brunch. We've never been to downtown Saint Joseph before so it was nice to see what the college town had to offer. The food came pretty quickly and everyone was happy with their Food servings for a good size although we ordered some extra rice for the jambalaya and the gumbo and the beans. Since we were a big group, we probably ordered most of the things on the brunch menu. There are some items that they don't carry for brunch like the cornbread or hush puppies. Unless you order a bloody Mary in which case you get one hush puppy. It was overall a great visit and would come back here again if we were in the area.

I was recently back visiting and had to stop in for a pizza and was pleasantly surprised at how good it still was! The service is fast, the food is reasonably priced and always a solid option. I love their cream cheese jalapeño popper pizza and appreciate that we are able to customize it to take off ingredients on part of the pizza. You can also get pizza by the slice which is really nice if you're stopping in alone or with a group who can't decide on one thing! The interior is relatively small with limited seating but still a cozy pizza joint worth checking out.

The business double-booked wedding rehearsal dinners. When we arrived for our reservation at 7:00…read morethere was a party eating at the reserved buffet for our group. The reservations were for different amounts of people-(50 vs 30 people) and were each under different names. We had put our reservation in well in advance as well so the mishap was especially disappointing. Once we arrived, they still tried to accommodate but they tried to split us half in the regular dining area and half outside on the patio (it was October 9th, not the warmest time of year) and outdoors there were only four tables covered in pine needle debris that myself and the maid of honor had to try to clean up and rearrange. At this point they set up another buffet stand and the legs of that plastic table collapsed in the main dining area which was pretty packed with some of our guests who didn't want to sit outside and the catering equipment on the table literally started on fire and the groom's father started on fire too. Wowsa. At that point, the party in the 'party room' section of the restaurant left and they started to set up the buffet in that room instead and we finally ate around 1.5 hours after our reservation. Our party had a number of kids and with the wedding the next day, the timing of this was very inconvenient. I felt so bad for the staff there who had to extinguish an actual fire (without a fire extinguisher?), I can't imagine working for a business run like this

The staff were very nice and very accommodating, even asked about splitting our bills before the waiter took our order and we had a decent sized group. The waiter was fairly quick on the drinks but, the place was dead. I had asked for a lemon with my water, which never showed, and for the wild rice soup and got French fries, so that was disappointing. But, the fries were pretty tasty and so was the chicken ranch wrap so I can't complain there. Was very tasty and decently priced. Overall I'd be back. Maybe next time I can get exactly what I asked for when I show up with less people. With how good the food was and how friendly the staff were, I just didn't really care to bother him about that stuff at the time and certainly won't affect if I return.

Chicken was rotisserie so it was moist and good. BBQ Brisket was dry but had a a good smoke taste. BBQ was also dry but a little BBQ sauce helped that. The best part of the meal was the sides. Sides were 4 star. Cornbread was outstanding. With honey butter it was like eating a cinnamon roll. Beans were spicy and good. Coleslaw was tasty. So it was a good belly filler. Will try again hopefully meats will be better. Now the service was outstanding standing. She did an amazing job. Entertaining with quick service. Restaurant was clean but needed up dated. Now go get you some.
