We finally made an effort to come to The Shed's original location on our drive to the Pass. On a…read morehot summer afternoon, we were relieved for big fans and cold water, and hopefully tasty food. My smoked chicken sandwich was good and full of meat. To the point I needed a fork and knife to finish eating it. My side of collard greens were good but missing the smoked turkey flavor. My husband got a sandwich and 2 sides combo and had significantly less meat than I did in his sandwich. Not sure if that's because I ordered just a sandwich and 1 side vs a combo. The food came out fast enough and I believe the value of food received for the amount paid was good, but I was expecting more flavor. Overall, I don't think we'll be rushing back given the proximity to the start/ end of our drive.

If you're on the hunt for mouthwatering barbecue, look no further than Smokey's BBQ Haven! This gem…read morehas quickly become my go-to spot for all things BBQ, and I can't recommend it highly enough. From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by the tantalizing aroma of smoked meats that instantly whets your appetite. The rustic decor adds to the charm, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels like home. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready with recommendations and a smile. Now, let's talk about the food! The star of the show is undoubtedly their brisket. It's perfectly smoked, tender, and bursting with flavor. Each bite melts in your mouth, and the homemade BBQ sauce adds just the right amount of tang. The ribs are equally impressive--fall-off-the-bone tender and glazed with a sweet, smoky sauce that has just the right kick. Don't skip the sides! The mac and cheese is creamy and rich, while the coleslaw provides a refreshing crunch that balances the richness of the meats. And if you're a fan of cornbread, you're in for a treat--it's fluffy, slightly sweet, and the perfect accompaniment to your meal. For dessert, I highly recommend the pecan pie. It's the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal, with a flaky crust and a gooey filling that will have you coming back for seconds. Whether you're dining in or taking out, Smokey's BBQ Haven delivers an unforgettable experience. The combination of incredible food, welcoming service, and a laid-back atmosphere makes it a must-visit for BBQ lovers. I can't wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings!

They also have misting fans out there to manage the discomfort. You can smell the place from a block away. It's neat to be at a place surrounded by historic homes and old oak trees. Now onto the food. I got the 3 Meat Plate with Brisket, Ribs, and Pulled Pork. I've been smoking and eating Texas style meats for 25+ years, so I'm a bit of an admitted BBQ snob. The brisket was cooked perfectly. Not overwhelmingly Smokey, very tender, and still juicy. The ribs were a bit of a disappointment since they were overcooked and had a leathery texture. The flavor was incredible, just the texture was off. I wasn't upset though...it happens. The Pulled Pork was still very moist and easy to eat. The sides were very good also. The Beef Fat Tater Tots had a great texture and a Smokey flavor that I suspect came from a paprika based spice blend on them. The potato salad had great texture, but was very onion forward, so be aware if that is not your thing. My wife got the brisket plate, but got the lean cut from the flat of the brisket. It was still tender and moist. Her Roasted Garlic Mac-n-Cheese and Brussel Sprout sides gave me envy...they were both absolutely delicious! This place also has unique BBQ sauces. They have a house sauce which is a sweet sauce much like you might buy of any grocery store shelf, but better. They also had a Carolina style and a Jerk style BBQ sauce, which ended up being my favorite and was an unexpected surprise. It was a perfect companion for the pulled pork in particular. I gave the entire experience a 4 out of 5. Very solid lunch option. If you're in N.O. and aren't looking for seafood...give them a try.

Parking is available all around, especially after hours, and it is next to a busy intersection. We started with the large fried green tomato appetizer and they give you a bunch. We already ate three before I took the photo here. They had a nice breading on them that provided a great crunch, and I really liked the remoulade sauce that was included. I had the fried shrimp platter that came with two sides, so I got green beans and cole slaw. The shrimp were very small, which was disappointing, but they gave me a pretty generous portion. The sides were very good. My wife had a roast beef poboy and was very happy with it. Our server did a good job of keeping our drinks filled and we had no problems. Overall, I was satisfied with our meal and enjoy supporting local place like this.
