Accidentally stumbled upon Smoke House while walking around Newport. We waited a bit to be seated, and the person at the front was very apologetic about it. We got the ribs, brisket, with corn bread, beans, and mac and cheese. We both really liked the corn bread and the brisket. I wished the ribs were a bit more tender and that the music was a bit lower for the outdoor seating because we could barely hear each other during the meal. read more

Went for a night cap and dessert. Sat at the outside bar. Bartenders were great. Dessert was banana pudding and peach pie. Both were very good. The smell of barbecue in the background only added to the experience read more

Nothing but good things to say about this place. I thought their brisket was flavorful and juicy and the portions are pretty big. The barbecue chicken grilled cheese was good too. They have lots of seating outdoor and indoor and at each table there's three different types of barbecue sauce that you can try I recommend the cranberry chipotle flavor. read more

Party of 12 had a great dining experience for lunch in Newport, RI. It turned out to be an excellent choice after consulting reviews and menus. Newport, a popular resort town, has many restaurants. Food and service were five stars plus. Well trained servers were attentive and helpful from start to finish. Ambiance was 5 stars. The restaurant was located on a wharf by the water. Even though the menu is well organized and descriptive, it was hard to make a decision. So many good choices. Order included: 2 All American Burgers 2 Smoke Stack Chopped Salad Beef Brisket Pulled Pork Barbecue Glazed Salmon with Pineapple and bacon -- My daughter raved about it. Everyone was pleased with their lunch. Wish I could have joined them. Another time. The Blueberry Lemonade with muddled fresh berries was a hit. So refreshing and flavorful, they want to make it at home. read more

Not sure why we were given such poor service. People that were sat after my table were finishing as we had our food. Chick n burger sandwiches. I have been here countless times and had a wonder experience that was not the case this time read more

Good food and nice bar. Very open and airy. Bar service was good even with the shift change. Would eat here again while visiting.

Update 8/16/25 Our second time and zero regrets! Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and I felt terrible leaving so much on the table as there was NO ROOM! Those nachos can feed a table of 4 AND IF YOU ADD A PROTEIN TO IT, it's a meal in itself! We saw another table with the nachos with a protein on it and they were eating a salad. Smart! Us...not so much We got their nachos as an app with no protein and it came with a guacamole induced sour cream which was Devine! Of course we got their trio of ribs, chicken and brisket We also got their lobster roll which was made to perfection which is a feat in itself Sides were mac and cheese and cornbread which is always full of flavor! read more

My experience was ok. We were sat reasonably and given water right away. However, after waiting for several minutes, we had to ask if someone was serving us. Drinks were delicious. Food overall was good. The Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage and the chicken wings were a big hit. The brisket was very, very fatty. I understand that brisket is fatty but I feel there was way more fat than meat. read more

If I could give a 4.5 stars I would. I loved the overall vibes of the restaurant and the feeling of being inside, but feeling like you were outside. Our waitress came to use very shortly after we sat down and was extremely nice and even recommended other things to do around town. The food was very solid. I had the brisket and it was good, but not 5 star level in my personal opinion. However, watermelon was offered as a side which was fantastic. Very fresh as well. I usually have more fun commenting on bad experiences I have, but this was a wonderful vibe and was a great time. read more

Food service slow, very slow, food got cold waiting to be served . Macaroni and cheese side is not good. Actually weird but again it was cold. Two lunch meals $50. read more

Summer is back in Newport. Smoke House is open. Another great dinner tonite, our waitress Emily was great, very personable and professional. Excellent chopped salad with fresh lobster salad. The brisket was cooked perfectly with German potato salad with the perfect amount of dill and fresh light Cole slaw sides. read more

Beautiful outdoor seating almost near the water. Indoor seating is inside a tent. Pork sandwich was a little tougher than expected and drier, but they keep sauce on the table so you can use at your discretion. Coleslaw was a great addition, and it came with a freshly made pickle! Fries were really tasty. read more

The best meal I had in Newport. Surprisingly also the best lobster roll I had this trip. Never thought to order a lobster roll at a smokehouse but I had just arrived to Newport and this was my first meal. I did not regret it at all. The clam chowder here was also one of the best I had. Huge portion on the pulled pork burger, come hungry! read more

The Good - Food was excellent. Ribs, wings, sides. All tasty. Fries were standard. Restaurants in general need to up their French fry game. The Bad - Cocktails were weak. The Ugly - Ordered a Sangria Bucket, which was advertised as for shareable. $25. It was an oversized cup, loaded with ice. Complete rip-off, and honestly the worst sangria I can recall. Shameful. I'd go back for the food but stick to beer next time. read more

My husband and I recently visited Smoke House after more than ten years. I remember going here during college, and it was just as good as I remembered it!! If you go and you only get one thing - get the nachos. We ordered our with pulled pork and they were hefty. They layered their nachos with cheese and toppings reaching even the nachos at the bottom of the tray. This is always a sign of quality nachos. We also ordered ribs and the brisket. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone flavorful. The brisket was sooo tender and has amazing texture. However, I really wanted it to have more flavor. I should have asked for BBQ sauce honestly. We ordered the red sangria bucket to share and thoroughly enjoyed this! My husband was skeptical at first but came around once he tried it! I would 100% come back to Smoke House to try a few new things but always order the nachos! read more

This review is just for drinks and atmosphere cause we didn't try any of the food. They have a large outside bar that is right on the street so great for people watching and lots of TVs. Loved being outside but covered so you are in the shade. We got a couple of beers. They also had rising tide on tap which I'm from Maine so that was cool to see that! Overall I would come back! read more

Maine lunch was perfect. Awesome service! Would recommend if you come to Newport RI.

They tried to serve me whir pork and you can't serve Royal pork yeah it was against the law. I requested my money back and I gave them back to the Royal Park and you're not supposed to serve war pork anywhere it wasn't. It was straight up Royal Park and they didn't cook it all the way I walked away as a sad customer to the smokehouse in Newport, Rhode Island, so be where they don't know how to cook. read more

First off, Service. The service here is some of the best I've ever had. 10/10. The ambiance is nice as they offer an inside and outdoor area. Has a full service bar and a nice menu. For being up north the BBQ here is very good. I got the brisket platter with mac and cheese. Also had wings for an appetizer. Overall this place is very good. Brisket- 8.4/10 M&C= 8.2/10 Wings= 9.2/10 Service=10/10 Overall=8.8/10 Very Nice place! read more

Fantastic food & drinks! Highly recommend if you are looking for a place with good food while visiting Newport!

Visiting Newport, RI is never complete without a visit to The Smokehouse. We sat at the bar, but there is inside and outside seating as well. Kim, our server was so upbeat, friendly and overall charming!! The chef, Tom, created a delicious appetIzer, 3 flour Tortillas stuffed with their pulled pork and cheese, which were the most delicious, crispy Tortillas I have had. This was definitely enough for 2, but we added a pound of their wings as well! The winds were cooked to perfection... juicy and succulent! I would recommend a visit to Smokehouse on your next visit! read more

It's a great place to people watch and enjoy a drink and grab food. There is always a small crowd enjoying Smoke House. The staff there are wonderful. The bartenders and skilled and make a Manhattan. The hog wings are the star of this place. Everything else is good but not outstanding. read more

Excellent bbq, creative drinks, and lots of outdoor seating in Newport. Everything we ate was top notch. Was open late and very easy to get a table. The majority of seating is outdoors and parallels the parking lot so no real views to speak of. You can sit at the bar and people watch as folks stroll by. Nice option to take a break from seafood in Newport! read more

No specific complaints. Just didn't think the food was very good. Was disappointed in the flavors and prep.

Food and service were fantastic. Cute place, too. Nice outdoor seating area. Arturo (our server) was a gem! He was extremely kind and attentive. He went above and beyond. We had the chopped salad with a side of pulled pork and it was perfect. We also had the corn dogs and corn dip for apps and they were also delicious. read more

I stopped in late night for something to eat and a beer... excellent bar area and great deal of 1/2 price appetizers. Excellent beer selection. Girl at bar was great informing me about apps 1/2 off and what I wanted anyway. I had the chicken wings, and the hog wings... both excellent. All the barbecue there good. read more

I got the pulled pork with fries and mac n cheese.The pulled pork was perfect and juicy, The fries were a little dry but still good, the Mac n cheese was dry wouldn't recommend.

Upon venturing around downtown this place looked like a good spot to check out. Has both indoor and outdoor seating(under a nice umbrella, ample shade. The menu has a decent amount of options - mainly American and Lobster . Each item in detail: combo platter- my brother in law got this one and he thoroughly enjoyed it- lots of various meets and cooked/slow roasted well. lobster roll- bit pricey $34 but hey that's for all seafood during peak season. Found a shell in the lobster meat but that's no biggie (no teeth were harmed) wings- great flavor and savory- worth the $14 fries- crispy and plentiful- worth it as well Overall 4/5. read more

We loved this place and look forward to returning! The vibe is fun, staff are friendly and personable, food was cooked to perfection. The Smoke House Tasting platter includes hog, chicken wings and half rack of pork ribs. The sauce is amazing and the meats simply fall off the bone. We chose the red bliss potato salad and creamy Mac n cheese with cornbread and bacon topping. Both were delicious. Alexis was bartending the day we stopped, a busy Saturday. She's friendly and attentive as was our server Erin. The manager, Pat, checked on us and never stops working! Typically I enjoy a Cabernet but Erin selected the Z. Alexander Brown, Pinot noir. It was wonderful and paired well with the smoked meats. read more

The pulled pork sandwich was good. We also ordered Lobster sandwich, it was quite small for 34 dollars. I guess it says in its name "Smoke House". I will go back for pulled pork sandwich, but not for lobster sandwich. read more
