She prepared an heirloom tomato salad, scallops and risotto with asparagus sautéed with pancetta. For dessert she made mini trifle cups with blueberry mango, lemon curd and fresh whipped cream. She was focused but also kind and engaging with guests. Everyone had a great time and I would definitely recommend her.

This restaurant does NOT disappoint! We really enjoyed our experience at this relaxed restaurant. Rebecca, our server, did an excellent job anticipating our needs and flawlessly ensured our order was correct. She was awesome! Food is UNBELIEVABLY EXCELLENT! The brisket and pulled pork was perfectly done! The potato salad and banana pudding were great. My son had the half-rack of ribs and the portion they brought out looked like a whole rack. We've never seen our son eat ribs so quickly - he devoured them in what was likely a record time, and if you knew this kid - he doesn't get in a hurry for anything...but had we reached over his plate we would likely be missing fingers... lol The brisket was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. My wife enjoyed the chicken and brisket. The collard greens were perfectly done. The sauces were great! Banana pudding was the best you can get aside from having homemade. We live about 40 minutes from this restaurant and in another county - but we will now be regular fixtures at this restaurant. They are definitely the G.O.A.T. in a 4 county area! Do give them a try!

I was surprised at how dry the whole bowl was it was supposed to have stewed black beans which would give one thoughts of moisture but alas even the beans were on the dry side. I went early so it shouldn't have been sitting long. I think if maybe a side of salsa was with it, to make it not so dry it may have tasted better. It did have a side of verde sauce but that was spicy and just didn't help out much. I will definitely try them again. I will say I was a bit surprised at the Mexican coke being $8.90 for 2 of them..

Hunter was a gem to work with right off the bat. He was responsive, professional and patient. He showed up on time and got straight to work. During cocktail hour I went to get my daughter and son-in-law food. Hunter saw me standing in line and immediately asked us what we needed for them. How many plates and then walked with me back to them. He checked on us to make sure we had drinks and if we needed more food. The staff, which was all family, were so courteous and friendly. They bussed the reception and made sure people were happy and they put away our china and glasses with utmost care. My mother-in-law is elderly and doesn't eat much. When he saw the food left on her plate he asked her if she wanted to take it home; he then boxed it up for her and made sure she got what she needed. I cannot praise them enough. We recommended them to everyone at the party and will be using them for our 25th anniversary party next year. We love the people at Southern Smoke and look forward to working with them again. I would highly recommend again and again.

Our food came out and we noticed the fried food looked dark, I took a bite of the BLT and the bacon crumbled and fell to the plate in pieces. It was very crispy like bacon bits. The onion rings were over cooked as well. The French fries were good. I don't know if they deep fried the bacon or what but it was not edible as you would expect on a BLT. The food overall had decent taste but the bacon was just too burnt. The pickle was soft and warm.
