Brisket sandwich
Abigail C.

We stopped in here on a Sunday afternoon, it was not busy (apparently a great time to stop for food!) so we were able to grab a booth right away and order quickly. We ordered a brisket sandwich with chips and the parmesan crusted burger with fries. The brisket was ok 9/10, you didn't really notice the sautéed onions and mushrooms, the chips that came with it were burnt. The burger was spectacular, the parmesan crusting on the bread the burger was served on was amazing, and the complete flavor complex was downright delicious (10/10 for sure!)! The fries and sauce were good. The place is decorated cute in a way you'd expect a BBQ joint to be. There isn't tons of indoor seating or parking, so I can imagine it's a bit hectic when it's busy. But the service was fast for a sit down restaurant! I'd receiving this place a try!!

Mac n Cheese

We made the drive south specifically to try Smoke after seeing a review on social media. We opted to split the three meat combo meal with Mac n cheese. The brisket has a beautiful smoke ring and was tender. The pulled pork was flavorful and provided some of the crispy edges. The barbecue sauce was the perfect pairing with the meat. The ribs were not as tender as we hoped, but still had good flavor. I'd give it a five, but both we and the table next to us had additional billing questions when we received our checks.

Kind of in the sticks But oh so worth the drive down Top notch beer and Q Had been hearing really good things about this place through the grapevine. It did not disappoint. Was told the beer selection was quite impressive. Bellied up to the bar and saw 8 on tap on the chalkboard. Good choices for sure, but thought there would be more. Looked to the left and saw the Untappd Board which has their can and bottle selection. Jackpot! Staff was super friendly and helpful. I went with two items on special. Pasta Bolognese and Pork Wonton Soup. Both were dynamite! The building they are in is pretty small. Starting to regret writing this review. Want to keep it to myself. Looking forward to trying some of their more traditional BBQ. If I lived in Lonsdale, I am sure I would be here all the time!

A friend recommended the place so we stopped by on a Thursday evening. It was packed. Barely had seating for us and they were shorthanded, so service was a bit slow. But the crowd thinned out, our order arrived (mine wasn't quite right, so they had to fix it... Which they did) and we dug in. At this point, I was thinking 3 stars max... But I hadn't tasted the food. And wow. The food. Was. Awesome. I had a pulled pork sandwich, my buddy had brisket and my other buddy has pork belly (special of the day)... And we couldn't stop raving. Everything was juicy, tasty and fabulous, including the perfectly cooked tater tots. Then, the service cranked up, and our waitress, Jordan, interacted with us a bit more and had some great tips (supposedly the ribs are awesome, but none of us ordered ribs - so we will be back). The beers on tap were excellent too - I had a Stout that was spectacular. Can't say enough good about this place. Yes, it's a drive... And worth every Mile!!!

Brisket, ribs, tots. Brisket was tender and flavorful, ribs we were able to pull the bones right out.

This was a good meal I enjoyed the Mac and cheese but the baby back ribs were too tough to eat and rip apart. The flavor was good though.

While visiting New Prague, we had to stop by the brewery…read more They don't offer flights, but they do have 6oz pours. I would have preferred 4oz options for sampling, but it still worked out. I tried the Space Balls (Milk Stout), Bowcaster (Smoked Märzen), and Lemmiwinks (Berliner Weisse with Black Raspberry - Sour Ale). I also sampled my brother's Giesen Weisse (Hefeweizen). I'm not a big fan of sour ales and didn't realize a Berliner Weisse was a sour until after ordering. That said, it was milder than most sours I've had, and I managed to finish the full pour. Space Balls - Fantastic milk stout. Strong coffee notes up front, followed by chocolate on the finish. Smooth and rich mouthfeel. A+ Bowcaster - Smoked beers can easily go overboard and end up tasting like a campfire, but this one was well balanced. The smokiness enhanced the flavor rather than overwhelming it. Would pair perfectly with a burger or steak. A+ Giesen Weisse - Excellent Hefeweizen with classic banana notes. Super refreshing. I often recommend Hefeweizens to friends who think they don't like beer--this one would definitely win them over. Great brewery overall. I'd recommend it and would definitely return.

It was a Saturday night, so the place was a little packed, but plenty of room for everyone to move around. From the outside (in the photos), the decor and signage was pretty cool! Their outdoor patio looked like it would be a fun place to enjoy a beer on in the summer (not so much in this cold winter night). Once inside, the atmosphere was fun. People were enjoying their company and the beer, and there was a small food stand inside with a few options for Mexican food this night. We all grabbed a beer and I tried some Mexican street corn. It definitely complemented the dark Czech lager I drank! My friends had a hazy IPA they ordered twice, it was tasty! An all-around pleasant experience and good beer. I'd go back, but probably make it a warm weather stop next time to enjoy all of it fully, including having the garage doors open for that "ope -air" feel when it's nice.

We were seated right away. They have TV on for sports and it can be quite loud (as expected) We did not expect it to be as loud since we had a baby with us. Bring headphones if you have a baby. Service was fast. Our server checked on us many times to make sure we were taken care of. Great service. To the point that I just finished my plate and he instantly took the plate away as well. lol Food all tasted good. Zucchini fries is soft in the inside and a little crispy on the outside. I wish it was crispier. Brussels sprout was good but a little burnt. Fish is crispy and good. The burger was good as well. Price is reasonable. Definitely worth going but just mind the loud ambient

We saw the burger of the month in December was a tater-tot hotdish burger online and man did it look like a 10/10. We drove about 30 minutes and ordered two along with a past and red sauce kids meals. While we waited we ordered a flight to try several options: the peanut butter bear was amazing, the cider / seltzers were good (Sherbet was the best) but the sugar cookie was meh. Once our good arrived a was already bummed as it didn't look like the photo. The burgers weren't cooked to order and overall there wasn't a lot of flavor for a burger with so much going on. I felt like it needed more goop....that's the best part of a hotdish, the glue. The past with red sauce wasn't well received but kids are kids. It didn't look amazing, but I didn't except much. With the menu being as big as it is I wouldn't mind coming back and trying something else, but I'm not in a rush to return.
