    Pretty good ribs , some of the rack was smaller than the other but it was still good ! , got a half order with potato salad , also highly recommend the potato salad. ( UPDATED MENU BELOW ) The menu on here was 10 years old and I didn't realize that till ordering , never the less that wouldn't have stopped me from ordering just had the prices a bit off. I'm from out of town so this isn't an everyday place for me to go , but I would definitely eat there again. Fast service , cool little inside area , and two helpful ladies behind the counter.

    Ribs with potato salad and baked beans. SO TENDER AND FLAVORFUL

    The best Barbeque I've EVER HAD. I recently moved to Indian head from northern Virginia and have been trying out all the food nearby to find food similar to the stuff over there, but this food totally outshines all Barbeque places I've ever been to. The ribs were SO delicious, even when I was full I didn't want to stop eating. Would definitely return and come back with friends!!

    Good minced pork BBQ and sides. Prices are a little high. I'm hoping George's reopening (just up the road) causes some good competition.

While service quality has varied over the years and their hours have unfortunately been reduced to just a few days a week, the food continues to make it well worth the visit. The SmokeShack is primarily a carry-out spot with a few counter seats available for dining in. There's parking both onsite and on the street--just be sure not to park in front of the mailbox! The beef ribs and pork ribs are absolutely outstanding, and you really can't go wrong with any of their sides. #HappyEating

    Hey friends! I worked a conference nearby and was craving a hearty Sunday meal. & I then remembered…read morethis hidden gem. Smokeshack is a Black-owned mom & pop shop that's been around forever! I ordered the fried shrimp dinner($18). All dinner entrees come with two sides: I chose Mac & baked beans. My order took about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed the fried shrimp, it was seasoned well and cooked to a perfect golden brown. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite, the texture was a little too loose for my liking. Also, the cheese blend was basic, it's missing the kick that sharp cheddar or mustard would bring. The baked beans were not my favorite either. They were too sweet, I could smell sweetness as soon as I opened the tub. The baked beans could use more of savory touch to balance the sweetness. I was disappointed that this visit was underwhelming as last visit have been better. -Customer service was good. -There's no dine-in. There are a few seats to wait for your order. -Parking is rough on busier days. There's a very small lot as well as street parking. -Prices are average about $20 per meal. I hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

I liked the modern industrial interior (exposed ceilings, cement floor), complete with bespoke woodpiles. Super cheerful service. BIG portions (with an extra side, each entree is a meal for two), everything hand-made, many nods to modern American cuisine such as the care they spend on sides and the well-crafted cocktails. Amazing how many things you can smoke. Now, drinks and food. Nothing liked a smoking whiskey cocktail, people sitting next to you will stare in envy (as well they should). Wife's grilled pineapple mojito was topped with such a large mint sprig, it was positively horticultural. Along with the complementary cornbread, a great start. My barbecue expert's half rack of St. Louis-style ribs was trimmed and plenty moist, with six BBQ sauces to choose from. Lots of pickle slices (cucumbers in any form are perfect with seasoned meat). I had the "signature dish:" plank-smoked salmon, wild rice & roasted Brussels sprouts, a superb adaptation of the art of barbecue to a healthy piece of fish. Interesting chat with Chef Darneille about the challenges of the restaurant scene. Appreciated his honesty, he appreciated our business. Even as he had a party of 60 to attend to (there were just enough tables to accommodate us). And, only a block from Metro, making for a short run through any rainstorm. Shrinkflation has yet to hit Smokecraft Modern Barbeque. Eating the leftovers, now.

Unfortunately, our last two visits have been marred by the same new server who was consistently rude and dismissive. On our most recent visit, we waited over 10 minutes before she approached our table. My husband ordered a meal (he loves the BBQ), but I cannot eat the smoked food due to stomach issues. I simply ordered a rum and coke with lime. She responded with "Pepsi?" and later repeated back only "Pepsi" when confirming the order, completely ignoring the rum portion even after I emphasized it. When my husband requested sangria -- something the bartender has happily made for us on previous Friday/Saturday visits -- she insisted they don't serve it and that he must have had it on a Sunday. We never visit on Sundays. Later in the evening, we moved closer to the fire pit because it was cool outside. She brought our water over and checked on us a couple of times. We told her we were fine. Toward the end of the night, my husband went to the bar to order another drink (as we've done before when the server isn't readily available). When it came time to close out our tab, the server arrived with the manager (Nolan) in tow. His presence felt awkward and accusatory -- as if we were about to skip out on the bill or posed some kind of problem. When we expressed confusion, he said he was just there to "warm his hands." As longtime, regular customers, we found the overall treatment disrespectful and off-putting. We tried speaking with a manager afterward to share our experience, but it didn't seem to go anywhere. We genuinely wanted to continue supporting this spot for the music and atmosphere, but after two poor experiences in a row with this server and the strange handling at close-out, we will not be returning. There are plenty of other options nearby.
