This is the most refreshing hole-in-the-wall restaurant I have been to in my life. Seating is…read morelimited, so there won't be a loud crowd even if they are full. Not to worry, if they are full, there is outdoor seating as well. All food is made from scratch and just absolutely delicious. When they bring you your check, they serve little pieces of candy which I believe they make themselves. Oh yeah, they now serve breakfast. I Think it might be only two days a week, but I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. Their breakfast prices are much lower than you would expect. There is so much to say about this restaurant, but I don't have enough time right now. In the meantime, check out their website at riversmokin.com

The biggest issue we had here was the fact that a cockroach was crawling on our table and made it…read moreto our food before we noticed. It was a baby one during lunch time which typically means there is a large population near by and not the cleanest environment. We stopped eating immediately and let the staff know. The cashier just told me she'll let the manager know and that was it. Pretty disappointing considering we were not even half way through our $50 meal for two people. Cockroach aside the food was not great. We had burnt ends, brisket, and ribs. Everything was extremely bland, I couldn't even see seasoning on the ribs. The photo they used to promote their ribs was titled "best ribs in the Ozarks" and had very nice color and obviously seasoning on it. What came out looked like they were boiled and a pinch of salt and pepper were sprinkled on top. The brisket was paper thin and flavorless. Burnt ends were not much better, barely any char or coloring on them. Everything just tasted like it was boiled or cooked with no sauce or seasoning on anything. The do supply a spicy and regular bbq sauce at the table and those tasted good but I suspect those were some generic sauce from a food supplier. The sides were ok. We had coleslaw, beans, potato salad, and the fried corn. The potato salad is the pretty common white potato salad you get from the food supplier. It's good but don't come here expecting home made potato salad. I've been to BBQ places all across the country and this was probably the worst I've been too by far. Cockroach aside I wouldn't be back, would've rated it two stars if it weren't for that. Very disappointed and absolutely disgusted to say the least.

Wow! The most tender and juicy brisket I believe I have ever had…read more Friendly service. Clean environment and a "peaceful picnic" atmosphere. Everything was good (smoked chicken, pulled pork.) In fact everything was so good he was sold out of a few things. So my advice would be go to lunch and go hungry. Can't make it for lunch? Call and see what's available late afternoon. Numerous carry out orders during our visit. Yep, it's just that good! Let's just say my speed dial is adding a new number. Not to far from Walmart. Tucked in a shopping center behind the Conoco across from Arby's in Republic. See ya there...

Overall food is amazing, costumer service is amazing, I like how they come out to the car so you can avoid getting out of the car. The restaurant itself is a small taco truck off chestnut and they have recently opened up a little building for people to go in and eat and enjoy time with their family. 10/10 will be coming back!
