Stopped here for lunch after visiting new Treehouse Brewery in Saratoga. Wow, so glad I did. Tons of seating and a great menu. I went with the three meat combo of pulled pork, Brisket and turkey. All were amazing. Juicy, moist, good smoke flavor, just absolutely delicious. Sides I went Mac and cheese and baked beans. The mac was decent but the beans were the star of the show. So much flavor. I'm already craving them again. Sauces were really good too. I liked the raspberry chipotle Prices were great. My huge platter could of fed two people for 26 dollars. Staff was really friendly. Will be back!! read more

Rollin’ Smoke Handcrafted Bbq - 3 meat platter. Could of fed two people - Barbeque Near Me - Halfmoon, New York

I've been to Rollin Smoke several times since it opened its new location and it keeps getting better. To explain, the ribs and brisket are still absolutely delicious. They are tender, juicy, and have excellent flavor. In addition, the house made bbq sauce is so good. It's sweet, tangy, and matches perfectly with the meats. Also, the brisket sandwich is phenomenal. The sandwich is loaded with brisket, queso, fried onions, and bbq sauce. With that known, the flavors combine to create a magical taste. Even though I'm still not a big fan of the macaroni and cheese, the fries are an excellent side. They are hot, crispy, and homemade. Everything here is just great. Simply stated, Rollin Smoke is a top notch bbq restaurant and definitely deserves five stars. read more

We recently ordered food for a family event. Everyone was so happy and impressed with the food and the selection (we ordered ribs, pulled pork and smoked brisket). When we ordered the staff was helpful in helping us make the right selections. We picked the food up the day before and instructions for reheating. We were not disappointed, everything was delicious. I'd highly recommend ordered this for the holidays. read more

I was back in the area by accident and got the lunch special brisket for $12.99. Included a generous tub of decent creamy cole slaw. The brisket was tender as pudding with a nice smoke flavor and served on a sturdy kaiser roll. All in all as good a BBQ as I've had in the Cap District. Also came with a little square of cornbread (that's inside the foil in my picture) which was moist and pleasant though unnecessary with the giant sandwich. Only problem is the sauces. There's a sweet, a carolina style, a mango habañero (i.e. Dinosaur BBQ style) and one other I don't recall. No Texas-style cumin sauce and no Tabasco. I asked the proprietor and he said he used to have Tabasco but nobody used it so "it got bad and I threw it out". (I've got a gallon in my basement which has been there since 2013 and is still half full and tastes as good as new, but I suppose a commercial establishment has to honor the food expiration date). Lesson learned: bring your own Tabasco. The mango habañero was useful for dipping the cornbread, so not a loss. read more

Rollin' Smoke is right on Route 9. It's not easy to find the entrance driveway, at least for me. Maybe they need a bigger sign outside. Plenty of parking. The interior is functional and sterile. Plenty of tables, and also a bar. There are no rustic features or anything else that would give an old timey country feel like you get in most barbecue joints. The background music is mainly country music. not the blues, which I prefer. So I knock one star off for lack of ambience. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to your table. The people taking your order have always been nice and helped to explain the menu. There is a counter where you get your napkins, silverware, and condiments. I'm always amazed at how quickly the food comes out to your table. For dietary reasons I get either the pulled chicken or smoked turkey. Both of these items are excellent and have enough spicing and flavoring that barbecue sauce is not needed. I'm not sure if any other local barbecue places have these items, so Rollin' Smoke is my go to place for pulled chicken or smoked turkey. Keep in mind that later in the day they can run out of certain food items. I guess that's what they need to do to keep the food fresh, but it can be disappointing. I stick with the either the macaroni salad or the baked beans for a side. Potato salad has too much mayo in it. I have not had the mac & cheese. Side orders are huge. All in all, Rollin' Smoke offers solid barbecue, especially with their pulled chicken and smoked turkey, even if the atmosphere doesn't quite hit the mark for you. It's great that the service is quick and friendly, though the interior and ambiance seem to be lacking the rustic, cozy feel that many barbecue spots have. The pricing being slightly on the high side might be something to consider, but the quality of the food makes up for it. If you're ever in the mood for good pulled chicken or smoked turkey, it sounds like this is the place to go! read more

I had a little bit of extra time and was in the area so I decided to stop by and check out their new place (recently moved like 3 minutes down the road. The new place is huge in comparison. They have a bunch of tables and a bar where a sign said drinks will be coming soon. Service was fast, food was pretty good. I got the brisket, and you get the option of chopped or sliced. They have some of the best BBQ sauces you can find! Definitely not anything fancy but great if you are looking for some good casual BBQ. read more

For service and Ambiance this place can't be beat. You can order ahead earlier in the day and have them hold that order for dinner just in case they run out of whatever you want by dinner time. The bar and seating area is spacious and happy hour beer specials are pretty good. The brisket has a nice char on it, but the pulled pork we had was a little fatty. The mac and cheese has great texture but needed the homemade hot sauces. The hot sauces were great and I ended up putting them on everything. Most items were plenty of food for two people not just one. If you order the burrito get the crispy onions, otherwise everything in the burrito is about the same texture. read more

I've been a few times now so I've had a chance to try a variety of things. The first time I went was for dinner and since it was later in the day a good amount of things were sold out so keep that in mind and if you plan ahead you can reserve your food for later. The second time I went was to try the breakfast and that's when I fell in love with the brisket. I normally don't care for brisket but since I've never had a breakfast sandwich with it I figured I needed to give it a shot. The brisket was so tender and flavorful. While I still have a lot to try (turkey, wings, monte cristo) I've got a good idea what I like and what I don't so far. My top recommendations are the sliced brisket and the pulled pork. They do these better than anyone else. If you are in the mood, the sausage links are a good option that for something a little different. The ribs made the bottom of my list. They could have been more tender and flavorful and I prefer them more at other spots but by no means were they bad. The one thing that I didn't like that I was looking forward to trying was the Mac & cheese. The macaroni was cooked to death like at KFC and it seemed like they made it ahead of time, portioned it, and reheated in the microwave. It just had a weird flavor and I would not get it again. I wish they were open later I didn't have to order ahead to guarantee they won't run out of stuff but I get it. Hopefully that will change in the future as they grow and grow. Either way I will be back! read more

Ordered the Taylor- pulled pork and brisket - $25 and a pulled pork sandwich -$11. The meat was so salty (overloaded) that my son and I couldn't eat it. Very disappointed since we were looking forward to finding a good local BBQ place. Ended up throwing everything out. D. Smith read more

BBQ or rather smoking meat is very time consuming. It's always nice to find some place that has smoked meats that are almost as good as homemade. It just makes having a good meal so much easier. We tried this little spot in Halfmoon because we wanted some good smoked meats. SO had the brisket and pulled pork while I had the pulled pork and BBQ ribs. Meat on the ribs just fell off the bone. Nice! Rollin Smoke also gives you a choice of three sauces to use on the meats....the mustardy based Carolina sauce, the Texas smoky sauce and then my new fav - the mango habanero sauce. Oh My Goodness! A little kick, a little sweet but a lot of delicious. Sides were the usual mac & cheese (a little BBQ sauce smoky with some jalapenos), mac salad, baked beans, corn bread (also with jalapenos). The glutton in me ordered two meats, but with the serving size is large enough for one meat to be ordered. We both took home half of our order and enjoyed it again for another meal. Parking is for the entire strip mall. There are a few tables outside to dine since the inside does not appear to be accepting guests as yet. I did see a number of people getting orders to go. Yes, another good spot for good food. read more

Rollin’ Smoke Handcrafted Bbq - 2 taylor lunches. Ribs and pulled pork. And pulled pork and brisket. Both with side of mac and cheese. - Barbeque Near Me - Halfmoon, New York

Today was opening day for Rollin' Smoke in Halfmoon and I was prepared to come across some glitches. I didn't find any! Located at the end of a small strip mall that also has a Mr. Subb, I wouldn't at all be surprised if more folks come rollin' in for the BBQ than for a sub. It being my breakfast/lunch time, I decided to go for a simple Pulled Pork sandwich ($6). It came with a small, fresh cornbread muffin and I accepted the offer to have coleslaw and pickle added. There were three squeeze bottles of sauce to choose from on each table - BBQ, Carolina Gold (my favorite), and Jala Mango. The jala mango would benefit from being in a different container since chunks of something kept clogging up the tiny hole at the top of the squeeze bottle. None of the sauces were overly spicy, but after I finished my sandwich it was obvious to me by the pleasant sensation I had in my mouth that I had eaten some level of spiced food. The pork was nice and tender and flavorful. My personal preference would have been for a bit more smoke flavor, but that won't stop me from returning to try other items on the menu. They also offer ribs, brisket, pulled chicken, smoked mac & cheese, baked beans, fries, potato salad and mac salad. They also have a Piglet Menu for kids. On the lighter side, I can see myself returning to also try their Wings, Nachos, Tacos, and Pig on a Stick (bacon wrapped pork tenderloin on a stick). They have a cooler with soda, water, and tea ($2). Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Place your order at the counter and then take a seat at one of the half dozen or so tables to wait for your number to be called. read more

Just purchased and ate my first half-chicken dinner for a fund-raising event. Picked it up and have to say, I was very disappointed in the taste and the fact that it wasn't fully cooked. As I have never been into the business, this was my first experience with your food that was provided. If I had to base my opinion on that one time, I would not be back. Just a heads up that the off site cooking wasn't fully done. I love BBQ and not usually one to complain. read more

Ordered takeout by phone. Courteous and efficient staff. Order was ready and on time. No errors since they double check contents of bag. Two Hot Mamas (3 meats and 2 sides) One Taylor (2 meats and 2 sides) One Kody (1 meat and 1 side) They were generous in handing out sauces. The chopped Brisket was flavorful but a little fatty in places for my taste hence the loss of a Star. The Pulled Pork was outstanding especially with the delicious Mustard Sauce/dip. The ribs were large and almost perfect but not tender enough. I prefer the smaller Danish ribs like the ones served at Otis and Oliver's. Sides: Baked Beans chunks of brisket were good if you like a lot of brisket with your beans. They had a nice spicy hot bite. The coleslaw was excellent; it was both sweet and tangy the way I like it. The celery seeds added flavor. The smoked Mac and Cheese was enjoyed by three out of four diners. I did not like the soft texture of the over cooked elbow pasta and mild cheese taste. However, it was creamy. The Potato Salad was very good! A mild mustard bite kicked it up in a good way. The Corn Bread was just okay, very cake like and not much texture. Individual portions were each wrapped in tin foil. Wasteful I thought. The pickles were a nice add on. Portions are generous! Cold sides are only $4. for an 8 ounce container, and hot sides are only $5. There is a children's menu. We look forward to ordering again for a family gathering and trying items such as the pulled chicken, smoked Turkey, pork belly burnt ends, and Pig's Blanket. read more

Let me say up front that I have never been to Memphis or Kansas City, so I won't throw around words like "authentic" and "real deal" because I don't know what they are. Instead, I know what I like and I like what I ate here. I came with the wife hungry and wanted to try something good. After looking at their menu (which didn't have burnt ends) I decided to go with their Saturday special of "Poutine fries." It was potato fries covered in queso, gravy, brisket (or pulled pork), and cheese with a Hawaiian roll on the side. Everything was as called for except the roll was substituted with corn bread. I liked it. The fries were a very unusual shape... more like round slices of potato that perfectly held the toppings. They weren't crispy at all and were more like pieces of baked potato but I still enjoyed them. The brisket was tasty and the gravy was nice. I am not sure how the cheese fit in, but I just took it for what it was. The cornbread was sweet and moist... just how I like it. The barbeque sauce came in a cup on the side and wasn't homemade. I talked with them and they do make some of their own sauce so perhaps next time I will ask for that. I then went back and ordered a jalapeno cheddar sausage link. It took 5 minutes to slowly grill to perfection and came out crispy and juicy. A great way to spend $4, and it also had cornbread on the side. Waiting outside, we could smell the smoke wafting from somewhere. Inside, 5 employees were chatty and friendly and seemed to enjoy what they did. I understand that this started as a food truck and the "restaurant" aspect inside was as basic as it comes. But, the food was good and that's what mattered. read more

I just tried your catered brisket, pulled pork, cornbread and beans. Best Texas BBQ in the area!

Came in around 12:30 small line. Customer service was very good. I got the brisket sandwich twister. That was pretty good. Also got the baked beans and the Mac n cheese for my sides. The beans were very good! I recommend trying them. The mac n cheese was good as well. This place is worth checking out. read more

Rollin’ Smoke Handcrafted Bbq - Baked beans with brisket, Mac N cheese, brisket sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Halfmoon, New York

Decided to try here for lunch after a morning of apple picking. Its located in a small strip plaza in Clifton Park that can be a pain to get in and out of with traffic and limited parking. Luckily service here is pretty quick depending on what you order. I ordered the taco special with slaw, pico, lime and sour cream on the side. They allowed me to split my meat choices so I chose pulled pork and brisket. The pork was moist and the brisket itself was great. As a taco they were pretty lousy but as my husband would say, that's what I get for ordering tacos at a BBQ joint. The pico wasn't fresh, the slaw didn't add much and there was no lime or sour cream to add the fresh tangy factor I was wanting. My husband's special was Poutine with meat choice. It was sliced and deep fried potatoe pieces like you would get for fries but thicker. It came covered in a delicious spicy gravy, white cheese sauce and topped with brisket. After one bite of the potato and gravy I knew I'd ordered wrong. This place is a friendly hole in the wall serving good BBQ. I can't wait to try more of their menu. read more

I really wanted to like this place based on how many decent reviews there are between Yelp and Google, and how lovely the staff was when we went in on Saturday to pick up our order, but unfortunately this place has missed the mark on various levels for me. Let me start by saying the customer service is excellent. The counter staff was extremely friendly and had everything ready for us when we walked in for our pick up order. They made us feel like we were friends the second we came in, and I absolutely love that! As for the food, we were met with disappointment the second we opened the bag when we got home. We ordered brisket, ribs, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and baked beans. The brisket at $12 for a half pound was inedible; we had to throw it in the garbage because of how much fat was riddled throughout the two pieces we got. It left me wondering how the staff could even proudly serve this to anyone, even themselves. I picked the brisket up and tugged at both ends to try and get it to come apart, and the tug eventually turned into a hard pull because the fat wasn't only riddled so bad throughout the center, but it wasn't even rendered down properly. I know everyone is an expert in everything these days, so I'll spare you the lecture on how "I've had BBQ in so many places and in so many different states", but I'm fairly certain if the low n' slow process is completed accurately, there shouldn't be any need to tug and pull at the meat with such force to get it to come apart. This leads me to the ribs. The ribs were not as terrible as the brisket, but it seemed as if they were not uniformly cooked for some odd reason. One section was filled with fat and not trimmed, the other section was trimmed and as clean as a whistle. The section with the abundance of fat was hardly able to be pulled off the bone, like I'm talking needing to put my fingernails into it to get it to tear. The bark was also unremarkable and barely existent, except on the two ends of the rack. It was unfortunate because ordering ribs is my favorite at any BBQ joint, and the bark on both ribs and brisket is what I enjoy most. The pulled pork also had a large chunk of fat in it that was not rendered properly, as it was chewy and hard, not melt in your mouth and blending in with the other shredded meat for that delightful mouth feel it provides that I usually (very) much look forward to. On to the sides. The mac & cheese was a bit strange for my tastes, as I'm a traditionalist when it comes to BBQ, but overall good. The cheese sauce they use is extremely liquidy and nothing like I've had before down south or while living on the west coast with many southern transplants. The consistency is almost reminiscent of mac salad. It has this thicker, creamier component to it, which is obviously from the cheese blend, but it is still thin enough to represent a mayonnaise type texture, as if you're eating mac salad. It is different, but in a good way. The slight smokey flavor and jalapeno spice kick was a very nice addition. As for the baked beans, they were cooked well, had a nice bite, and overall good. I was also disappointed to learn while talking to the awesome staff members that they do not make any BBQ sauces in house. The 3 offerings they have available are from a major US foods manufacturer, which kinda sucks. I do think good BBQ speaks for itself and requires NO additional sauces, however, I am a lover of condiments and enjoy sampling things that are made in house to see what they're all about. Overall, the star of the show (the meat) was a disappointment. I know this place is fairly new and the Cap Region is not necessarily known for its BBQ pit masters, but I hope this place changes a few of their practices and gets better over time. The sides were good and the employees are doing an excellent job; I hope to be back sometime in the future for another go once the kinks are maybe worked out. read more

The food was amazing and priced right. l had the two meat meal. Pork ribs and brisket,comes with a side and corn bread. I had the baked beans.

I am not a fan of Mac and cheese. Possibly my burnt out by too much Kraft from a box in my younger years and college. They have a wrap with brisket and Mac and cheese. Is have been back many times for the wrap. Need I say more. The brisket it perfectly done and works well with the Mac and cheese. A side of Cole slaw completes the package. read more

We were excited to try this place out. Unfortunately both customer service and food were poor. Long story short, check your order in front of them so they can see what they put in the bag and so they don't argue with you about what they say they put in the bag. Also, don't expect any cornbread with meals that say they are included, because it's only "complimentary" though there is no mention of that online. So maybe they should have the menu say "cornbread may be included but also may not be" The big daddy was said to feed 4 when I asked and I was also told it came with two cornbreads not that they are complimentary and they might not be included and they if we really want cornbread we have to buy extra. It definitely doesn't feed 4, more like 2. After a lot of back and forth and an overall not good conversation, they offered to refund the missing food (it was almost $60 worth of food) or we could come get it. We needed more food since we placed a large order and had several people to feed so we picked it up. I wish we just had it refunded. The sliced brisket wasn't good at all. It was very fatty, not flavorful and very soggy. The chicken was dry and not full of flavor. The pulled pork was ok, nothing great. Cornbread was very good though The Buffalo tots weren't good and we asked for blue cheese on the side but that was missing. They were burnt and had barely any sauce and only maybe 5 tiny pieces of chicken on them. We definitely had high hopes and maybe would try it again had all the issues with staff and management not happened. They at least were nice and apologized when we came back to get the food but that doesn't make up for the attitude on the phone. They were arguing with me on how many breads we had and the manager said she packed it and basically was insinuating I was lying. It was just a very bad experience. read more

I really like their pulled chicken bbq sandwiches and their bbq chicken tacos.if you are in town have to stop by.

I visited the new location on the second day in operation. The brisket was very good. I am a man who has eaten brisket near and far and was impressed by the goodness of this brisket. Furthermore I enjoyed the smoked macaroni s d cheese. I will eat this again some day. Portions were large and the price was reasonable. Perhaps when I return I will order something different but I enjoyed the brisket previously. read more

Rollin’ Smoke Handcrafted Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Halfmoon, New York

I absolutely love this place. The food is great. I have been coming here for over 2 years. I order here usually at least once a week, sometimes twice or more a week. The food is top quality & it's consistently great. Consistency is just as important as quality in my opinion. I've had almost everything on the menu & I love it all. The staff is very friendly & they are always willing to customize your order. I often get the "Halfmoon Cheese steak" which I customize every time by replacing the regular peppers & onions with their crispy onions & smoked jalapeños. It's amazing every time! You could literally close your eyes & throw a dart at the menu & order anything & it will be delicious. I can't say enough good things about Rollin Smoke. They also have a bar which adds a nice touch & you can enjoy a beverage while you wait for your order. Or you can call in an order earlier for pick up any time (during regular hours) to ensure they will have the meats you'd like because just like any good BBQ place they can run out of certain meats. Especially at dinner time. They have events like car shows every Thursday during summer. They also have bands on occasion. My wife & I just love it here. This is my happy place! I've told everyone I know about them & I was surprised to hear that some folks thought it was a pot dispensary. Which is hilarious but I also understand. Rise is a pot dispensary just up the road from here, so if you're into that kind of thing you could stop there on your way to Rollin Smoke! Roll then Smoke and then go to Rollin Smoke. Lol. Also heads up the phone number they listed here is wrong. The correct number is (518)-280-4601. Enjoy! You're welcome! read more

Not 4 stars, but a little better than 3....so, 3.5 based on our experience. We ordered The Pitmaster Feast so our family could try everything. We have a smoker and have made a lot of delicious food in it. Granted, we are not making anything in bulk, so I wouldn't compare Rollin Smoke to what we make, but we do have a palate for good BBQ. We have also had BBQ in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. Some of the items were very good and others were not that great at all. The pulled chicken (thigh meat) was our favorite. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was a close second. These were the only 5 star items. The brisket, and chicken wings (this was a substitute because they didn't have turkey available), were extremely dry. The brisket was tasteless and dry. Definitely needed BBQ sauce for flavor. The sides were ok. Mac and cheese had a sweet flavor which we thought was odd (it didn't taste "smoked" like the menu says). The cole slaw, macaroni salad, and French fries (actually like thin potato wedges) were good. The potato salad had a horseradish or strong mustard flavor (couldn't figure it out). We didn't mind it, but it wasn't great. Corn bread was moist and is always nice to have with BBQ. They forgot the pickles and the baked beans. Maybe they were out of them, but they didn't say anything when we picked up the order. Overall, we enjoyed trying everything, but this will not be a regular stop for us. read more

This is an objective review. I am not related to anyone at this business, and the only time I had ever met them was last summer at the Troy pig out. Have to start with this because I don't want people to think I'm a "homer". Well, lets preface this with my trip to the Troy Pig out last summer. I try to avoid the crowds, so I go early and try all the vendors and food trucks ribs to make my own choice. I had a big bag of ribs and commenced to sampling all of it. It the slew of BBQ I had eaten, there was one vendor whos ribs stood out. And that was Rollin' Smoke. They were meaty, spiced right, cooked perfectly and the smoke was spot on. The side of smoked mac and cheese sent their #1 status over the top. Creamy, cheesy, a bit of kick and a kiss of smoke. Sooooo good. Stopped back by the truck to let them know they were "My" winner. "Greg's choice" if you will. So fast forward to today. Standing in line waiting to order, I hear Rob explain to one of his customers that he does not sauce his BBQ. A man after my own BBQ heart. Same as me. I offer sauce on the side. Never on the meat. He makes one exception like me in that he adds just a touch of sauce to the ribs when finishing. After following these folks on the FB, I saw they were opening up a brick and mortar in Clifton park. I HAD to be there for opening lunch. I got ribs, brisket, pork and mac and cheese. The ribs are just so damn good. It was like I was sitting at the waterfront at the pig out and eating those ribs again. Same smoke, same perfect cook, beautiful smoke ring. Very small kiss of sauce. They were identical. Love the consistency. Hard to do in BBQ. But you nailed it again. Mac and cheese? Same as before. Cheesy creamy spicy and a hint of smoke. The little bits of jalapeno are what makes this. Pulled pork fell right in line. Nice bark, cooked perfectly, smoke ring for days. Just right. The brisket was also spectacular. Beautiful ring, cooked perfect. Rendered nicely. And the bark was out of this world. I will say that some of the bites of bark were a bit too salty. Could just be the way you are applying it. No matter though. No stars off for that at all. I would only remove if there wasn't enough spice. And these are straight up Texas style with salt and pepper being the primary spices. Absolutely worth the trip from Troy for lunch. The Capital region has another high quality low and slow BBQ joint. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. If you want quality Texas style meats, this is at the top of my list of places to go. Try it. You won't be disappointed. I'm jealous Halfmoon!!!! read more

Best BBQ in Upstate NY. The brisket and ribs are delicious and the home made Carolina BBQ Sauce is tangy and perfectly made. The owner Rob and his staff are friendly and always happy to help. There are a couple negative reviews on here but a Karen is gonna do what a Karen gonna do! " the brisket is salty"... yea that's one of the main ingredients in smoking meats... SMFH... Pay attention to the glowing positive reviews and locals who have made this the best place for BBQ in the Capital Region... avoid the Karen review or two... this place is great! read more

Was in town on business during the quarantine. Decided on this place due to the 5 star review. The menu is straight forward and the staff was friendly we called and ordered... when ordering we placed a $30 order on their 2 meats and 1 side deal and asked if it came with bread and that was an extra charge. I would imagine that when people order from any establishment they typically don't charge you for the roll. At pickup they were super nice and all moving very fast to have the orders ready my order was done that being said one employee was NOT wearing his mask as he was reaching over to the counter where food was being prepared not a good look. Cashless service pay by card nothing exchanged hands.. now on to the food. They did not provide enough BBQ sauce to cover the orders we purchased. The brisket was decent felt under seasoned and lacked flavor.. the pulled pork also lacked flavor but was moist, the smoked Mac and cheese is really good I really enjoyed it. The corn bread had a little spice to it but wasn't my thing. Overall the place I would say is below average I have had much better bbq other places I've traveled and some places worse honestly better then worse in my travels. If the meat had more flavor and they gave a fair amount of sauce appropriate to the size order this place would easily be 5 stars... oh and they gave us no plastic utensils or napkins again here visiting on business and was eating on the go so had to wait till I got somewhere to get utensils to enjoy my food. As far as customer service the women who I believe to be the manager is absolutely amazing she provided service with a smile you can see through the mask the entire establishment was extremely clean and I would love to try this place again if they work on adding some flavor to their meats. read more

Participant, I would forget about this if it wasn't right by my home town. Most Forgettable place ever

To start off. I'll be honest. We wanted to get USA barbecue in Saratoga Springs, but the phone stayed busy. That was when we looked for another BBQ not far from here, that's when my wife said that people on 518 eats like Rollin" Smoke. Day was getting late when we called and was told when the run out. read more

Hi Rolling Smoke I had some burnt ends today. Flavor:good Spice:good Texture:good What is missing.....smoke. smoke ring or bark. there is not any sense of an odor of ANY smoke whatsoever. I was raised to separate the point from the flat on a brisket cut to make burt ends. Y'all do that fine and dandy. But there is no odor of smoke. None. No bark. We used hickory and oak and local walnut wood for flavoring back home. Whatever was handy... I know because my daddy made me cut it with a chainsaw. Your meat is delicious and tender with great spice. What you lack is a smoker with any taste or sense or odor of the "rolling smoke" your name implies. I like y'alls food. I don't mean to ruffle feathers. But an strong aroma of peach or oak wood or mesquite "smoke" would really enhance ya'lls BBQ product. Without it, all you have is a commercial oven at 225° baking pork. All in good constructive opinion friend read more

Great food, friendly service, great prices! Can't beat that. If you're in the Clifton park area it's a must visit !

My husband and son like BBQ & I'm not usually a big fan of it. However, we decided to try Rollin' for the 1st time and I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and quality of the food. The sandwiches are stuffed and some come with pickles and cole (tiny) slaw. After ordering, we sat at a table in the middle of a large dining area and the food was brought to us. Great food and it was tasty, fresh, and really delicious. Not an overly smokey flavor, which I enjoyed. We can't wait to go back to try something else! read more

Best brisket in the area! Very tender and has great flavor. I could eat it for days! Smoked Mac and cheese is good, I've never had anything like it! Beans were also good, has some meat chunks and is sweet. The ribs were okay, did not fall off the bone, but still had good flavor. read more
