    So.. I honestly feel like the business would care less if we were returning customers. It was just bad vibes as soon as we entered the establishment. Walked in and was not greeted. There was no one in the front/register but there was a man right behind the front counter. All the while we stood there, and he emptied two huge cans of pork beans into a bin, he never once acknowledged us. I seriously wanted to leave right then but my husband really wanted to try the place since he is an avid smoker. Not sure how long we actually stood there but a lady on the phone finally came around the corner and said hello to us. She was nice. Took our order and we sat. Spent between $50-60 and requested a receipt but was not given an itemized receipt. We ordered two combo plates (ribs, 1/4 chicken, smoked sausage, 2 sides) as well as the 6 piece smoked wings and a pint of the brunswick stew. We waited probably 10 minutes for our order to arrive. The man that was ignoring us earlier actually brought it to our table and we thanked him. Realizing we didn't have the brunswick stew my husband went to the front to let them know. The lady told us that they were still getting it and the man actually asked, "What?" in a pretty aggressive manner as if we were a bother. We wouldn't have asked if we were told that it was still coming.. The stew was actually pretty good. Better than a lot I've had before. Could use some more acid but that's not something a little hot sauce can't fix. Wish I would've received a spoon and some crackers I heard offered to another lady who ordered the same thing. The combo plate was a little underwhelming. Ribs were the end pieces of the rack being smaller than what would be typically served. The 1/4 chicken was two pieces of wings which I would not consider to be 1/4 of a chicken. Then we order a 6 piece wings as well not realizing we were already going to get wings.. In the pictures posted other customers actually received 1/4 chicken and actual full size ribs. The smoked sausage was generic smoked sausage off the grocery shelf as well as the texas toast. Sausage was chopped up so together it made up about a quarter link.. For $16.99 I feel we were jipped because we don't look like typical BBQ eaters we were pretty much given whatever could pass. Feeling a little offended. LOL Mac and cheese was actually decent. Potato salad was probably the only side completely homemade and was good. Eggs, mustard, pickles. My husband got the onion rings and fried corn in the cob. Looked really cool but that's pretty much it. Bbq sauce is baby rays.. I wanted to try a dessert but feeling very unwelcomed decided against it. After finishing up we got our things and left. My husband even said thank you to the lady up front as we walked out but of course she didn't hear us. With poboys just down the street with very good BBQ and even better service I'd suggest, do better.

    Ribs, sausage and smoked chicken. Turnip greens and fried corn on the cob.

    Always delicious!! I love their smoked chicken, it's a favorite of mine! Great food and great service!

    Very poor BBQ. The staff acts like they don't care about you. The prices have changed since they opened.

    Prices are too and the quality of their food has gone down. Plus they charge you to use your credit card.

    BBQ was awesome, as was the mac and cheese, stew. The cobbler...well you won't believe me until you try it, it's the best I've ever had.

    Edee's Place BBQ Food Truck

    We actually had the food truck for a community event this weekend. From the scheduling to the…read moreexecution of the event, everything went very well. The food truck arrived and they set up quickly and efficiently. Yes, you could smell the wonderful grill going and the food did not disappoint. We had the bone-in chicken and pulled pork and it was tender and good! We had mac n chees, baked beans and brunswick stew, as our sides and they were also delish! Edee himself, was out at our event and he was kind, pleasant and efficient. (BTW, thank you for your service ~ Semper Fi!). His crew "D" and Tammy were pleasant and just wonderful to work with. We plan to use them again for another event. Thank you for the great food and great service!!!!

    Welp, Yelp. This is an ordinary, at best, barbecue stand. We finally got to try them today and…read morebefore I blather on, I will say, I don't know if we'll bother them again. We definitely won't use it as a destination type barbecue purveyor. And they're in the neighborhood. The quality of the food is good. The method they use to quantify the amount of food they present you is sorry, at best. The customer service was bland, borderline....sullen. Maybe, they were having a bad day. And I spent almost $100 for a selection of items. The easiest way for me to present our experience is through pros and cons. And here we go.... PROS: 1. Some of the best chopped pork, we've ever had. It was the perfect blend of fat to lean, moist, smokey and no cartilage, gristle or bone. 2. The ribs were fairly meaty, cooked very well and slightly smokey. You could see a definite smoke line. The seasoning was decent. 3. The Brunswick Stew had discernable components. It didn't look like a can of mushed up dog food with corn kernels in it. I usually don't care for Brunswick Stew, but I liked this. It is fairly spicey. I liked that. 4. The hot barbecue sauce was much better than the regular. It still tasted like anything you can grab off a shelf at the store. CONS: 1. Questionable way they decide what is a serving size. I paid TWENTY DOLLARS for 3/4 of a Styrofoam lunch box of chopped pork. I'm trying to post a picture. They were verrrry evasive when asked to quantify by weight, the amount of meat that you receive. Evasive....almost indignant. I wonder if this varies from customer to customer. 2. I've never, in decades, been to a barbecue joint where the cooks so purposefully and diligently AVOIDED talking with the customers. I'm a very gregarious type and these people just would not talk to me. And they weren't busy. I felt like I was an annoyance the whole time I was dropping a C note there. 3. The Cole Slaw was little more than pre-packaged, shredded cabbages and carrots, doused in sugar water. The container was barely 3/4 full. Now that I think of it........we won't be going back. They need to work on customer interaction and actually sell you their product based on genuine weights and measurements.

These were as good as I found that speedy burrito, but they were a couple of price points higher, which I have to consider. I tend to run the Speedy burrito as their tacos are under four bucks and a bit more selection, but this is a great place, family, friendly, would probably sit and eat in here next time. Highly recommend.!!!!

As it being our first time, we were a little confused if we needed to wait for someone to seat us or not. There was no workers around..Then I saw a sign pointing to where we needed to order. (No table service, Smokey Gringo is counter service). We ordered 2 kids meal chicken quesadillas, 4 tacos, 2 empanadas, a side of corn, and 2 additional fountain drinks. My total was about $80. The tacos were ok, they were lacking flavor. When I picked up my carne asada taco there was so much liquid dripping onto my tray, but sadly it tasted a little overcooked. The empanadas were huge but dry, even though there was sauce drizzled all over it. The chips were nice and crispy. ** Street parking is available. There was also a small parking lot across the street. Smokey Gringo offers both outdoor and indoor seating. We choose to sit inside. Their prices are pretty high for the little amount of food you get.
