We are in SE Kansas, staying in Chanute, to attend the 146th Old Soldiers & Sailors Reunion in…read moreErie, KS and to attend the free bean feed on Friday night. We ate Thursday evening at Smokey D's BBQ on Main St. in Chanute. Our waitress was helpful, cordial and attentive; and our food was on the table quickly. My husband and I both had the Thursday special: A burger covered with brisket, topped with cheese, then topped with either coleslaw or baked beans. Potato salad for the side. The brisket was delicious and tender, and the hamburger was very flavorful. Add a slathering of BBQ sauce, and you know this is worth a second trip to SE Kansas. I enjoyed the classic potato salad, but I do like how my husband makes it with a little Worcesterchire Sauce to kick it up a notch. We talked with the owner, Mark Davidson, and his wife. We also sampled the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. We really need some of that when you get it in a bottle! We must come back to try other menu items. This restaurant is a jewel --- tasty food at a great price.

Some if the best BBQ I have long to have! Our family told us about this place and that it was the…read morebest around. That was no lie. My small plate of ribs was a feast in itself with the two sides. Our cousins ordered the rib dinner plate to split but the amount could have been split between the 4 of us. We had a great time and the credit goes to our server Johnnie, she was great. Friendly and out going and always smiling. It was a pleasure to chat with her.

Food (ribeyes) were great this time. But service was lacking. She checked back once after taking…read morethe order. Was about to go ask for the check when she finally brought it. Drinks were empty by the time the food arrived. Someone else brought the food out. The atmosphere is a casual country diner. All in all, I'm sure I'll be back but for the money a couple of steaks cost these days, it was sad to be thirsty while eating them.

Call me crazy but I'm vegetarian and still managed to love this place lol their baked beans were…read moreso good! There are enough side dishes to make a nice vegetarian meal. I also got a grilled cheese off the kids menu. When you walk in, you can smell the smoke and it's divine! My husband got pulled pork with coleslaw and sweet potato fries. PRO TIP... get those fries and they give you marshmallow cream dip for the sweet potato fries. Just wow. Try it!! You won't be sorry!

Reviews for each part of this business…read more Outside - 3/5 - Outside is misleading. Driveway and look is a little rough. Didn't even know this place was around until we were told, and you can easily miss it. Inside - 4/5 - Inside is nice and very clean. Plenty of places to sit. You go past multiple seating areas to the back to order. Food - This can range from 5/5 to 1/5 depending on what you order. We ordered a little of everything off the entire menu. Anything with bread wasn't great. Which honestly isn't a slam at all. It's a bbq meat place. Reality is, sandwiches and things usually are not great at places like this. The specialty dogs and sandwiches were just kinda boring. They were messy, and the great meat flavors were ruined by boring basic bread. Almost all of the meats were AMAZING. Brisket, pork, hot links, and turkey were all fantastic. 5/5 for sure. You can't go wrong with any of these. Plus if you like baked potatoes, this is the place to go. It's at the very top of the menu. The only meat that was really bad was the Italian sausage. They were very very dry and no flavor. All of us took a bite or two, and we tossed the rest in the trash. Their Mac and cheese and their broccoli casserole were both great. We got the brisket jacked Mac, and it was fantastic. Summary - it's a bbq meat place. Stick with pure meat as much as you can for your main and stay away from all the pointless filler meals with bread and buns. Order yourself a lot of meat, some Mac and cheese, and maybe a spud. Can't go wrong. Service is super friendly, you can call in your orders, and they also do catering.

At any rate, we were welcomed by a wonderful server, she was attentive and so nice. On a side note, she handed us the credit card machine to pay, and quickly walked away when we got to the tip screen to give us space without pressuring us. A nice reprieve in the current tipping culture:) But to the most important part - the bbq! Everything was absolutely delicious. I had chicken, husband had meatloaf.

OMG. This is a small town tavern serving so pretty good BBQ. I'd heard about it from a friend and…read moresaid their pork ribs are outstanding and they run out. So for me I'm not a rib person I savored their other meats. I had the brisket and polish sausage. I found it interesting how they sliced it (really thin) but for me I got a good taste of the flavor I felt and don't worry they didn't skip on the portions. I got the regular 2 meat sandwich with no bread. They have their own sauce which has a great taste as well. I tried their spicy pickles and I did enjoy it. I would like to see them take their own sauce as I enjoyed the clover and add some kick to it lol. The lady who waited on me was extremely friendly and knew I was not from there and explained everything. It is a small town tavern in the middle of the town Williamsburg nice peaceful and you feel at home. They were not busy when I got there but by the time I left I felt it was standing room only. NOTE!!!!!!!! They are CASH orCHECK only so be prepared. It's worth it just about 20 minutes south of KC

But if this dinner was offered in KC or other large cities, I would choose it in a heartbeat. I had their Saturday night special 10oz KC strip steak (medium), cooked to perfection! The waitress brought A1 sauce to the table and we never cracked it open. The steak was juicy and very tender. We both had the baked potatoes and green beans (which were also amazing)! And no this isn't a paid advertisement. We also took home some desserts to try out (coconut cream pie and pecan bread pudding). We arrived at 5pm and there was only 3 tables taken. By 5:30, the place was packed. By 6pm, standing to wait. This will definitely be on our date night list.

A welcome surprise. Moved here about 2 years ago and just tried. My brother took me to dinner for…read moremy birthday and we decided to try some place new. The restaurant was very clean and modern. Better than expected. The service was top notch, and the food did not disappoint. I had the dinner with a little bit of everything. Ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, and some sausage. All were tasty and i fell in love with that orange bbq sauce. It had a nice vinegar sas to it. The baked potato must have weighed a pound. They cut a v in the center which gave them room to stuff the butter and sour cream deep into the potato. Was very impressed with the side salad ( one of the 2 side options that come with meal). Was crisp, cold and delish. Could have quit eating after that and a roll. My to go box weighed a ton. I ate on the leftovers 2 more times. What a deal for about $17. Will definitely return again and again. I know people in Kansas say its not real bbq but for what we have in my town this place is a great go-to for lunch or dinner!

This is my first review so I will organize the hearts so you know my opinion…read more (black (A)/fill in) good (gray(B)/half filled in) mid (white(C)/blank) bad FoodC: The food kinda tastes rotten and burnt especially the fries, the chicken strips were so hot I burnt my mouth, and I don't know if I was sick but I throw up outside. ( that's why there a picture of bubbles for TADC sticking out his tongue because that was the face I made while throwing up) Service A: it's great. Price and valueB: it's bit questionable, like why is the chicken strips $7.25 for 2 but $8.25 for 3 I don't know if the fries go with the chicken or not but it the fries didn't come with the chicken strips shouldn't it be $10.90, but I'm all right because the food kinda affordable, also can we talk about the portions like why are the chicken strips so huge but the fries were super tiny like even tinier than most places kids menus. AtmosphereA: there's the right amount of background noise, the tables were clean. The seating was great. ( besides some ribs on the couch table,) OverallB: it's a great place to eat in the hipster part of town just don't get the chicken strips. (Edit: it's like 4 AM when I'm writing this I threw up again really bad and I have very bad constipation, and they only reason why I'm up at like 4 AM is because I was watching Turning Red but I'm thinking I'm Meilin Lee, Pomni from TADC is Miriam, Spamton G.
