    Chopped brisket and Mac and cheese
    Simone L.

    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.

    2 taylor lunches.    Ribs and pulled pork.   And pulled pork and brisket.    Both with side of mac and cheese.

    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.

    Wonderful family story.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    One of two pieces of brisket with an insanely large ribbon of fat in the center that could barely be pulled apart.

    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.

    While I waited the roughly 15 minutes it typically takes for your order to be prepared here, I had…read morea chance to think about a few things... Was it a mistake to order their spiciest wings on my first visit? Would the price I paid for the combo meal justify the quantity and my satisfaction with it? Do the patrons REALLY watch those music videos? Well, it's definitely all about the chicken here. That first bite of a boneless wing with the Spicy Galbi was indeed a taste-bud-awakener, but after that it was all flavor and the right level of crispness. I definitely wanted more. The fries were interesting. They were nicely crisp, and they were lightly covered with some kind of coating that was both subtly spicy and subtly sweet. They were certainly fine, but I'll explore other sides on future visits like the cole slaw and the pickled radishes. The price for a combo, $13.99 plus tax and tip extra... well ... since I'm really here for the chicken, maybe next time I'll just order a big batch of wings and do something else instead of (the starchy) sides. Those music videos... today they were all from a K-pop girl group known as aespa, evidently quite successful internationally. Clearly I am not their target audience. But as background music, it was pleasant enough. Since it's roughly 15 minutes from my house to here, ordering in advance seems like the way to go. It is indeed worth it for the chicken.

    I'm sure there's an Albany location for this Korean fried chicken chain and I remember being put…read moreoff when I first looked it up a few years ago, although I'm not sure by what. The fried chicken with their "secret sauce" is one of the better versions of what I consider to be authentic, so my rating is based mostly on this. Things that would've made for a 5- star experience relate to the ultimate Korean fried chicken and pizza joint in the Atlanta region, where they play a Korean TV show on mute (or music videos, although I almost never watch them with intention) and have utensils and crockery that at least remotely make you feel like you're dining out if you decide to eat in like we did.. For example, bb.q only had plastic forks and not even a paper plate. And regrettably like many Korean fried chicken joints in the U.S., they charge separately for sides such as pickled radish. Speaking of which, they charge $0.95 for a little cup of radish and most of the mass was liquid, forcing me to ration even though we ordered two of them. Moreover, one of the radish cups clearly had been sitting out and they still served it, as I overheard the front staff say to the kitchen staff, "I need two radish.. actually, only one, there's one sitting out here already, I'm not gonna waste that." Anyone who knows and appreciates the crunch of the radish that complements Korean fried chicken will understand how this affects the radish and the diminished enjoyment. On a positive note, the chicken was tender and the sauce, although not one of the best I've had of its kind, was more like the authentic sticky and sweet 'yang nyoem' that I've come to love. There was an unidentifiable note to the flavour of the sauce that I didn't like but it didn't detract completely from enjoyment. If there was a half star rating I would consider 3.5 stars. Then again, I'm glad there's a decent Korean fried chicken joint in our neck of the woods away from big cities, and I wouldn't mind going back. I hope they continue to improve.

If you've never been here before, I highly recommend trying two items in particular: 1. Beer cheese dip 2. BBQ (Or any other) mac & cheese I should note that the BBQ mac & cheese (previously the Memphis BBQ Mac) recipe has changed over the years, so this review may not hold forever. That said, mac & cheese in general has been the most reliable item on the menu for me. I've tried plenty of other dishes here over time -- fish & chips, burgers, fish and chicken tacos, and nearly every mac & cheese variation -- but I'll stick to reviewing what we ordered on this visit. This time around, my wife ordered the fish and chips, and I ordered the BBQ mac & cheese. The mac & cheese was delicious, and the BBQ sauce added a nice sweetness that paired really well with the pulled pork. The fish and chips were also very good. The fries were a bit soggy, but since we ordered to-go and they had to survive the drive home, I won't knock them for that. Portion sizes here are fantastic and easily justify the price. I love this spot -- it's a dependable comfort food destination for me. The staff are always helpful and knowledgeable, especially when it comes to beer recommendations. The building itself is gorgeous and massive, giving the space an impressive sense of scale while you enjoy your meal.

We had a small private room upstairs in this historic building with original wide wood floor boards and staircases. I ordered the Craic --grilled roast beef, sautéed onions, provolone cheese, horseradish mayonnaise on a baguette($18.00) which was served au jus. The beef was tender and the baguette was fresh. It was large so I ate have and took half home. Delicious! I also had the French Onion Soup (along with three others.) Sadly, it was spoiled for me by a completely soft/soggy bread slice (mush) below the cheese top. I quietly removed it from my bowl. However, the broth was flavorful. I remember it being excellent. Reason for 4 stars instead of five. My grandson enjoyed the Shepherd's Pie. Since he is a growing lad, he also had the well made fries. The three salads ordered were excellent. One salad had salmon, one had Buffalo Chicken, and one had beets and goat cheese. Generous amounts of protein were served. The children enjoyed the toasted cheese sandwich, Mac and cheese, and waffle fries. The Wings were good. The extensive menu is easy to read with a variety of exciting food choices available. Always something new to try!
