In Great Falls, Montana, that second mission is easily accomplished at Smoked. I went all in with the brisket burnt ends, baked beans, coleslaw, and banana pudding for dessert--and every bite confirmed I was exactly where I was supposed to be. The burnt ends were rich, smoky, and indulgent in the best way. The portions were perfectly sized (which I deeply appreciate), leaving room to enjoy everything without feeling overdone. The coleslaw was solid and refreshing, though I couldn't help wishing I'd gone for the spicy version--lesson learned for next time. The baked beans, though? Basic in the most comforting, nostalgic way. They instantly transported me to gathering around a campfire with friends, plates balanced on knees, smoke in the air, and no rush to be anywhere else. And then there was the banana pudding--simple, satisfying, and exactly the sweet ending a great BBQ meal deserves. If you find yourself in Great Falls and craving BBQ that delivers both flavor and feeling, Smoked is the place. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why seeking out local favorites is always worth it.

The pulled pork was well made and good quality. The BBQ sauce was a lovely balance of sweet and spice. The beans had a little something going on. The cornbread was more soft than crumbly. We also has a burger. The patty was made by hand and the tomato, lettuce and onion on it were part of the price -- not an extra charge. The buns were really good quality; I don't know how long they will be able to offer those but YUM for now. The pulled pork sandwich was $7 and the cheese burger was $6.50. For $1 more we got two sides (we both chose the beans and cornbread). We absolutely got our money's worth for taste, volume and friendly small town service. They will also pack up the ingredients (buns, meats, sides) for you if you want to have a no-effort BBQ party at home or on the lake. Sweet! The BBQ Pit is under new ownership this year (2013). I don't know what it was like last year but as long as these people are the owners we will certainly keep coming back.

Ask them and they'll explain that if you're just a little hungry order small. If you're more hungry, order a med bc they give you a small bag of chips with your order. If you're really hungry, order a large which has 2 sides. The small plate with a coke will set you back on average $20 and it goes up significantly from there. We went ahead and ordered even though we were not sure how to gauge the Small or med or large plate. Thank goodness we chose small bc the food was not even average. After waiting way too long for our order, we threw most of it away. Chunky roast brisket, hard rolls, just really bad!
