    Excellent portion sizes and quality food. Easy to miss place on the side of the road, but well worth the stop!

    Great BBQ joint in the Mountains…read more Fire & Ice Smokehouse & Creamery delivers a deliciously smoky experience that's hard to beat in central PA. The ribs and sliced brisket sandwich were the clear stars--perfectly tender, full of flavor, and cooked just right with a nice smoky bark. The smoked mac and cheese was another standout--creamy, rich, and packed with that deep, smoky goodness that takes comfort food to the next level. Chicken was flavorful and decent. Just not my style as I enjoy a hot & fast style. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, with a casual setup where you can sit wherever you want and order at the counter. The service was quick and efficient, and our food came out hot and fresh in no time. Portion sizes were generous, definitely worth the price and enough to leave you satisfied. The sauces were solid--a nice variety to choose from and they complemented the meats well. Nothing too out of the ordinary, but they did the job. If you're a sauce lover, you'll appreciate the options, though the meat definitely shines on its own without needing much help. All in house created which personally I thought they be better knocks a star off. Overall, it was a great experience from start to finish--excellent BBQ, cozy vibes, and smooth service. Definitely worth the visit if you're craving top-notch smoked meats and hearty sides in the Pennsylvanian mountains.

The oatmeal cream pie ice cream was phenomenal! Probably would have been just as happy having a lot more that for lunch. Kinda of a pain to get to if you're trying to get there from Detweiler Park because Peters Mountain is shut down right before the restaurant. So you literally have to drive an additional 5 miles around the construction area. The food is a little on the pricey side but what isn't these days?! Also didn't really care for the faith based Christian music playing. Was a little on the loud side for religious music during your meal. Overall, if I was in the area, I'd stop for the ice cream.

The wood fired pizza is my favorite and they have gluten free!! But we didn't get pizza this time, unfortunately. Pictured here is the BBQ Trio, with Boneless Ribs and Pulled Chicken, and I substituted the Pulled Pork with Brisket. The sides are potato salad and sweet potato fries (with cinnamon sugar) . We also got a half chicken and half rack combo with horseradish coleslaw and smoked baked beans. We drove about 10 minutes to Bald Eagle State Park to eat; the view of the lake paired with the food was amazing. The food and service was 11/10 as always. You won't regret stopping! Very reasonably priced for the outstanding quality as well.

I put on each order seafood allergy. My husband goes to pick it up with one person in line before him and they say it'll be a few minutes. 30 minutes and a handful of walk ins later and they finally fill our order. Half way thru my soggy brisket sandwich and I can't swallow and have an itchy closing throat and sense of impending doom... go into full anaphylactic shock. Thankfully 2 EpiPens and allergy meds and steroids and I lived thru it. I highly suggest you don't go this bbq joint that loves to serve shellfish/ seafood and doesn't seem to care about cross contamination. We will never be back.

We sat in addition where it was rather loud due to 5 kids at one table with their parents, and another party of 12 in there. The acoustics aren't terrific. Didn't ruin the experience, but just know in case you are sensitive to noise. Ask to sit in other areas. Very friendly employees! From the moment you step in. Hostess was nice and our server was terrific (shout out to Riley). She kept checking in on us and made sure that we had all that we needed. We ordered a margarita and I wouldn't recommend this at all. It tasted like lemonade and a some tequila. They also put sugar on the rim. It was subpar to say the least. It was nothing as described on the menu (fresh squeezed lime juice). We ordered the fried pickles for an app and I highly recommend them. The sauce that is served with them is great! For entrees, we ordered the Bone & Butt (ribs w/pulled pork) with a side of baked beans and a burnt ends meal with sweet potato fries. The ribs and pulled pork were absolutely great! Even the burnt ends were good too. However, I do like super wet sauces and they do come drenched in BBQ sauce. That was a me problem as I should have asked and I forgot. I should have ordered them plain. The corn bread was okay. We asked for butter for that. The fries were fabulous. The baked beans equally as good. There are two different sauces on the table for you to put all over the things. You can tell that they are making these things in house and take great care to make sure that they are good quality. The portions are terrific and the prices super reasonable. They have an extensive dessert menu. We didn't order as couldn't fit anything else. We even had to take to go boxes. This is located near Great Wolf Lodge! If you are staying there, this is super close and worth the drive. It's also not far off of 95 so if you are in the area swing by - worth the drive off of 95 (not far at all). Would for sure come again! Very tasty.

    This place started showing up in my social media feeds constantly. All day. Every day. Smoked meat?…read moreI'm listening. Smoked meat and homemade peanut butter pie? In the same building?! Immediate must-try status. I hatched a plan to visit on a chilly January Friday night, knowing they'd recently been selling out of items before their posted 7pm closing time. The target: 5:30pm. Risky enough to feel exciting, early enough to still secure smoked meat. A calculated move. Get Smok'd is located in a strip mall, and when I arrived, most of the front parking spots were full. Brief "oh no" moment...then I snagged a spot from someone pulling out and hustled inside. The dining room was much more spacious than it looked from outside, though many tables were already filled. I stepped up to the counter fully prepared--having studied both the menu and their social media all week in belly-growling anticipation. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with street corn and a fountain soda. Adventure Buddy went with the Lamb Gyro special, coleslaw, and a soda. Total for dinner came in around $40, which felt very reasonable for the amount of food. We timed it perfectly. About 10 minutes after we arrived, a large party of ~20 people walked in and filled a reserved table. More folks followed right behind them and suddenly the place was packed, buzzing, and running low on seats. Lamb Gyro: Fantastic. The smoke really came through on the lamb, and the tzatziki was super cucumber-forward, which Adventure Buddy loved. It was also a generous portion for the price--always appreciated. Street Corn: First off, the presentation was on point. The husk flared out like a little sunburst--very eye-catching. The cook on the corn was perfect, seasoning was just right, and the ear itself was a great size. Goldilocks corn. Coleslaw: This one missed the mark for us. The cabbage itself was fine, but the dressing was very bland and there was a lot of it--bordering on cold coleslaw soup territory. Not our thing, though it might work for some. Pulled Pork Sandwich: The pulled pork? Fabulous. Moist, juicy, perfectly smoky. I paired it with the Lawd That's Good traditional sweet sauce and ate every last bite of the meat. The roll, however, didn't live up to the pork--it felt like an odd mismatch. I skipped the bread and focused on the star of the show. Peanut Butter Pie: I...was not prepared. I did not expect a smoked meat joint to casually deliver one of the best peanut butter desserts I've had in a long time. This isn't a slice--this is a personal peanut butter pie. I'd guess 5-6 inches wide, about 1.5 inches thick, served in its own tin and piled high with whipped cream. This wasn't dessert--this was an entire second meal. At $10, it was worth every single penny, and I seriously debated ordering another. I will absolutely be back just for this pie. Overall, Get Smok'd BBQ earns a solid 5 stars from both me and Adventure Buddy. Friendly staff who checked in, meat smoked to perfection, and a peanut butter pie that completely stole the show. Good lawd! PRO TIP: If you're planning to visit later in the day, check Get Smok'd on social media first. They sell out. Early. Often. Don't waste a trip just to find locked doors and shattered BBQ dreams. This place is hot right now--and very much worth the visit if there's still smoked meat left to be had!

    My friend and I ate there last night. Excellent. He had the 2 meat platter with 2 side dishes and…read moresaid they were excellent. I had the double Patty smash burger with bacon and it was one of the best burgers I have had. There was also some homemade pickle Chips that were delicious. We split a PB pie. I hope they do coconut pie at some point. My only critique is the burger (all sandwiches) should come with potato chips. Or fries but I am thinking they don't have a fryer there. I didn't mind the price of the burger but the sides were too expensive for me to add. I just wanted something more with that burger. If that burger had Chips would be 5 stars. Highly recommend this place. I look forward to eating there again.
