We had brisket (including some of the best burnt end I've ever had), pulled pork and their prime rib Sunday special. The special came with some incredible chimichurri! Huge shout-out to the staff! In places like this in MA you always feel rushed and everyone was willing to answer questions about the different options on the line and the floor staff were attentive and willing to grab anything we needed. We also appreciated the indoor/outdoor space as it was a great day to eat outside. Can't wait to come back for another plate of meat!!

We live an easy walk to the new location on the corner of John Rolfe and Ridgefield Parkway. Today we wanted to pick up lunch for our family since we all are home and working from home. I ordered a medium family meal which comes with 2lbs of meat, four pints of sides and either cornbread or potato rolls for sandwiches. We ended up getting 1 pound of pulled chicken, 1 pound of pulled pork, two pints of Mac and cheese because it's that good, potato salad and the southwest Cole slaw. We also got the rolls for sandwiches, Swayze sauce and the house sauce. For kicks we added a pound of rope sausage. So much food and so tasty! I've had all of their meats now and enjoy them all. The sides are also exceptional. My husband and I said we want to come and just have a meal there soon. I want to try their tacos. Anyway, we're lucky to have such good food right in our neighborhood. They have vegan options too so it's not just meat. I personally love portobello mushrooms so look forward to having a meatless Monday soon. Welcome to the neighborhood Deep Run Roadhouse and crew! We look forward to seeing you often.

Thanks to them as well for opening up their back room to fit all the girls. Great staff - very friendly. It's a smaller place. But that doesn't detract at all. Now the food. Insanely good. I had the brisket sandwich and it was full of meat and had onions and Cole slaw. Added on the sweet bbq and it was so good. People raved about the Cuban. The hush puppies were a fan favorite. The peanut butter pie and key lime pie were to die for. The Mac and cheese was excellent, as was the cowboy beans and potato salad. If I lived here it would be one of my favorite places to go. Go on in and hit this place if you are in the area!!

My friend and I ordered fried wingettes, smoked wingettes, the chicken club, and a fish sandwich. The fish sandwich and chicken club were great -- no complaints. The wings were terrible. Starting with the smoked wings, they were overcooked and I just ended up sending them back -- I didn't even want them anymore. They ended up bringing out another batch that was a little better, but a few of the wings were still overcooked. The fried wings weren't as good as I remembered. They were super greasy and the grease tasted a little old. On the other hand, the servers were great as always! Henny was super sweet and attentive.

I also had the chips and salsa flight with queso beans and salsa. I wanted the guac but they sold out. The queso was my favorite. For my main meal I had the chicken tacos which were pretty good. I wish there was a better distribution of the slaw and salsa because the chicken itself tasted a little dry. My husband ordered the brisket and ribs and enjoyed everything. They ran out of ribs and offered him burnt ends instead which he also enjoyed. The Mac was too cheesy for me but hubby liked it. Overall we will be returning as he mentioned the prices and flavors were better than some of the other bigger named BBQ spots in the city. I don't eat pork but look forward to trying the smoked chicken sandwich. We had great service as well.

My Fiancé and I were greeted by Amy at the register and told her it was our first time there. She was beyond helpful with suggestions when it came to deciding what to order. Their menu has a wide variety of options when it comes to utilizing their smoked meats. Sandwiches, Appetizers & Meat platters galore; there's something for everyone. We landed with getting their Smoked Brisket, Smoked Chicken Thigh Sandwich, Smoked Mac & Cheese, Baked Beans, Onion Rings and their Coated Fries. Everything was perfectly smoked, delicious, and it was some of the best baked beans I've had! I will say, the brisket was a little on the dry side for our taste, BUT the smoke flavor with the sauce was perfect. But what's going to keep you coming back is the customer service. You truly feel at home and welcome by all of the staff. The owner (Janet was her name I think) personally came to our table and thanked us for coming in. We left with an apple turnover (BEST WE'VE HAD) Brunswick Stew and Banana Pudding made to order to take home. Will have reviews for those later. We highly highly recommend, from 2 restaurant industry people.

People were constantly coming in and out which was a great thing. Food prices were cheap and reasonable compared to BBQ in Brooklyn. We ordered the baby back ribs, of course. The meat easily comes off the bone and you know it has been smoked for many hours by noticing the smoke ring. We also love the sides that they offered. Our favorites are the Bourbon Apples, Baked Beans, Cajun corn cobettes, and chili cheese cornbread. Most importantly, our food came out hot!

As we drove through Scott's Addition, the incredible smell coming from SMOHK caught our attention. We followed the aroma, stopped to try it, and ended up having a fantastic lunch. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. The gentleman at the front was extremely friendly and patiently explained all the meats, sauces, and side dishes to us. My mom and I shared a rib platter that came with two sides--we chose the coleslaw and sweet potatoes--and added four extra ribs. My nephew ordered the pulled pork sandwich. The food was excellent. The ribs were tender, flavorful, and delicious, and the sides were great too. My nephew and I spent most of the meal debating whether SMOHK was at the same level as ZZQ or even better. I personally thought it was better, and after I let him try one of my ribs, he was impressed and delighted too! Another big plus was being able to enjoy high-quality barbecue without standing in a huge line. At the end of our meal, the owner came over and talked with us. He was very warm and welcoming and showed us photos of the catering they offer. We were so impressed that we plan to order from SMOHK for our family Thanksgiving gathering. The entire check was about $80 for three people, including three drinks, tax, and tip. Considering the amount of food, the quality, and the excellent service, we felt it was well worth it. Great barbecue, genuinely kind people, and an overall memorable experience. We discovered SMOHK by accident, but we will definitely return!

SMOHK RVA BBQ is tucked into one of those Scott's Addition spots where, if you blink, you just…read moremight miss it. But follow the smell of smoke into that little cut and you'll discover some seriously good BBQ. First and foremost, the food had me excited, but our interaction with the owner made the experience even better. Welcoming, funny, genuinely personable, and incredibly patient while walking us through the menu. That kind of hospitality matters, especially at a neighborhood BBQ joint, and it immediately made the place feel like somewhere you want to come back to. Now to the food. The Pork Belly Burnt Ends were the standout for me. Melt-in-your-mouth tender with that beautiful combination of smoke, sweetness, spice, and rich pork flavor. These alone are worth knowing this place exists. Definitely one of those hidden-gem dishes in RVA that deserves more attention. The brisket and pork ribs are absolutely worth a visit too -- smoky, flavorful, and exactly the kind of meats you want when you walk into a place with BBQ in the name. The sides held their own as well. The collard greens were properly seasoned and cooked just right, and the mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and delicious. Nothing felt like an afterthought. Then there are the sauces. SMOHK isn't just giving you the same three bottles you see at every BBQ spot. From the Smoked Apple BBQ sauce to the Gochujang BBQ sauce, there's a real range of flavors here that lets you take the meats in completely different directions. Traditional BBQ roots, but with enough creativity to make the place feel like its own thing. SMOHK is a different kind of BBQ joint -- tucked away, full of personality, creative without forgetting the fundamentals, and serving food that makes you glad you followed your nose. Don't blink when you're driving by. This one is worth finding.

As many have also said in their reviews, it's a unique little spot with only outdoor seating.. can imagine it gets crazy busy in the warmer months. Luckily there's a park right across the street, so you could probably take your food to go and do a little impromptu picnic if need be. You order from a window and they call you when your order is ready - the food was excellent. I had the bbq and my boyfriend ordered the portabello option, both of which were great. I'm personally not a huge fan of collard greens (not sure why I ordered them, tbh) - wish green beans were an option instead. However, the jalapeño mac and cheese (while no gluten friendly) was excellent - not too spicy, just enough flavor, and a good portion size without being too overwhelming. We also each had a beer / cider (they DO have alcoholic beverages available for purchase, despite that not being listed on their menu - choices are just limited). Parking is also limited - we were able to grab a spot on the street right next to the venue, but can imagine that finding a spot during busier summer months might be more difficult. TLDR - Definitely an easy spot to stop for a few minutes and grab a beer and a bite to eat, especially if you're traveling through Richmond with a dog.
