Cheeseburger
Kasia C.

Maybe this is one of those places where you have to sit there & eat - but the takeout was not impressive. We ordered lunch in the middle of the week for pickup since it's down the street. We got a cheeseburger, cheese fries, cheese tater tots, fiery smokehouse burger, bread pudding bites and the espresso brownies. The cheese fries were literally melted cheese on fries - I thought it was like the nacho cheese type but no. It all stuck together and was impossible to eat - same with the tater tots. The cheeseburger was underwhelming- ok in taste but nothing special. The stale espresso brownies tasted like bbq smoke which was off-putting.

Menu
Marcela L.

Service - the people working were really nice. Greeted upon arrival and given menus right away. She came over to take our order and checked on us a few times. They had tables set up so you could have your food there. It was pretty quiet like 2 other families there while we were there. Food - the name Smoke Shack is deceiving. The food did not taste like it was smoked or grilled. The ribs seemed to be cooked in the oven. Brisket didn't have any flavor. The mac cheese was watery and just did not taste good. I honestly would say if you want food with bbq sauce on it then you should go here but if you're looking for that grilled or smoked taste then this is not the place. We won't be returning because for the price the food should definitely be cooked better.

Coleslaw with pickled onions

I just ordered a whole bunch of stuff. I am now reading the reviews and I think it was a huge mistake. I had a really bad experience the last time I ordered from you, but I was giving you another chance on Christmas Day refused to follow and pictures.

Remaining Pulled Pork BBQ sandwich
Francisco D.

OMG-- my mouth remains watered and my taste buds excited! I walked and placed an order to go. The staff was very efficient and quick! The place was very clean and inviting too. The food was absolutely what I expected and then some. I had pulled pork bbq sandwich and it was beyond yummy and flavorful! My wife got some chopped brisket and enjoyed every ounce. My son got a double bacon cheeseburger and I could not take a picture fast enough. The tots, fries, cornbread and the ultimate and amazing bread pudding bites rounded out the meal! YUMMY! A must try!

Buffalo chicken sandwich!!!
Tub R.

The food in this area is disappointing and void of flavor. This place sticks to the norms of the area. It's way too expensive to be this lack luster. The chicken sandwich was nothing but generic Buffalo sauce. No other flavors came through at all. The Mac n cheese was eh. Kraft makes a better Mac n cheese. The corn was just ok. Considering the food options in the area this place could have been a stand out establishment. The food had to be mildly good to be a standout and it came up short. This is the second time I've been here. It's gotten better. It's gone from terrible to eh. They'll have 1 last chance when I get a $10 hotdog and give that a shot. See you in a few months when I try that.

Dirty Dog
Mark S.

This was my first visit to Smoke Shack BBQ. Signage is fairly basic and it may be easy to pass by. It was a Saturday at 3pm after a hike. I was told to take a seat so I did. Despite the burgers and BBQ marketing, I ordered the Dirty Dog. This item was humongous. I enjoyed my meal while watching traffic and Thatcher McGhee patrons eat across the street and listening to Billy Idol. I was given a fork which I utilized to eat the onion rings and most of the brisket since they would had most certainly fallen off if I didn't. I reached my capacity at the half way mark but still found the intestinal fortitude to munch onward. This was my breafast, lunch and dinner. The brisket and the sauce helped greatly with the flavor.

BACON ESPRESSO BROWNIE
Steve A.

Smoke Shack has moved to its own building and implemented the full menu. The owner still knows me by name. The food is as outstanding as ever. They have BACON ESPRESSO BROWNIES OMG THESE ARE AMAZING GET MULTIPLE BROWNIES EVERY TIME. This review hereby grants the 5th star as well earned and loved.

Dining room

Doesn't look like much but one of the best BBQ places in the country. 1000% recommend. Nice ppl. INCREDIBLE FIND. Get the triple combo + sides! Bearded guy at counter is a gem.

Rib and BBQ chicken combo. Where are the bones.
Daniel M.

First time here and for a carnivore I would say ahhhhh. I ordered the rib and chicken combo. The ribs were drowning in very very sweet BBQ sauce and they were not tender at all. The BBQ chicken came in a small round container. To me they should call it pulled chicken. No bones just pulled chicken. Sorry but I want chicken on the bone. Maybe if it was on the bone it would have been more tender. Sandra had the pulled pork. It was tender but really lacked the BBQ/ smoked flavor you are anticipating. Susie had the Mac & cheese with chicken- again chewy not tender chicken. The portions are small but the prices are average. I know it's new so maybe and hopefully they will work out the kinks. Good luck.

[Blowing on my nails.] The menu is a mix of American comfort food and gastropub classics, but with flair, and has a bit of everything to satisfy different palates. Our eyes were probably bigger than our stomachs as we ordered 2 apps, 2 entrees, and 2 cocktails, and it was an enormous amount of food. The portions are definitely what you'd call hearty, and everything was very tasty. Thursdays are all day happy hour so we picked the fried calamari appetizer at the HH price (still a full and generous plate and didn't seem like a downsized version) which were tender and well-battered, as well as the hot honey wings which were meaty and substantial. The short rib parpadelle with housemade pasta and a perfectly medium-rare, well seasoned hanger steak with truffle fries completed our satisfying and belly-stuffing meal. The cocktails are serious as well - the presence of a drink with egg white is my personal litmus test for a bar that knows what it's doing, so the Thyme to Bloom special had my name on it. I'm salivating just looking at photos of dishes I didn't order, and am already plotting my return!

D'Boathaus was the perfect lakeside brunch spot for my sister's bachelorette weekend on Greenwood…read moreLake. We rented an Airbnb nearby and wanted a fun Sunday brunch with a beautiful view, and this restaurant absolutely delivered. We made an 11 AM reservation and were glad we arrived before the crowds started rolling in. They offered both a featured brunch menu and an extensive drink menu with lots of options for the group. Our server was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the meal. She even took a table photo for us and later noticed us struggling to take a group picture outside after brunch -- she actually came outside to take photos for us, which was such a thoughtful touch and really went above and beyond for such a special occasion. The atmosphere was also so welcoming. The locals were incredibly kind, and one woman even bought our table a bottle of champagne after hearing we were celebrating a bride-to-be. It made the whole experience feel extra memorable. As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciated that they offered gluten-free options, including gluten-free toast. I had the spinach and feta omelet with home fries, and everything was delicious. My sister is a huge Eggs Benedict fan and loved their version as well. The location right on Greenwood Lake is beautiful. They have dock space for people arriving by boat, plus outdoor seating that would be amazing on a nice summer day. There are also two parking lots on either side of the restaurant, which made parking easy for us, although I could see it filling up quickly during peak summer weekends. The prices were definitely on the higher end, but honestly, for a nice restaurant directly on the lake with great service and atmosphere, it felt worth it. I'm already looking forward to coming back next time we're in the area!

10/5 Stars!! We…read morerecently had my Mom's 60th birthday party at the Railyard Tavern. I worked with Bob in coordinating everything. He was very accommodating and quick to reply to email. He was a big help in answering any question I had. Our party was roughly 25 people and we reserved the back room for the party. The back room was big enough for all of us to fit comfortably without it feeling cramped. We ordered the apps ahead of time and were told that they would be ready at 5:30. Sure enough, at 5:30 all of the apps came out and they were a big hit. Everything was fantastic. We got some large pizzas, nachos, mozzarella sticks, potstickers, and calamari. There was practically nothing left. The entree's were great and came without delay. I didn't hear a single complaint from any of the guests. I'd be remiss if I didn't talk about our waiter for the night, Alan. I don't think I've ever seen someone be so on top of things before. He handled the whole room essentially by himself and somehow it never seemed like there was a single hiccup the whole night. He was beyond excellent. He was such a good communicator and kept me in the loop with timelines and was overall very organized. He played a significant role in the night going as well as it did. My whole family, and most importantly my mom, had such a wonderful night. And I have Bob, Alan, and the rest of the staff to thank for that.

It's been awhile since I've been here, but stopped by today for happy hour. The bartender…read moreremembered me and my drink order (red sangria). And they played awesome music too. Thank you! As much as things change I am glad Rail Yard is the same! Hope to be back sooner rather than later!

I highly recommend having any kind of party there! I can't say enough about Erin who was the event manager. She worked with me for months making sure that everything is going to be perfect. I'm sure I was driving her crazy at several points but her patience was exceptional and her management & organization skills are incredible! She also is a tech wiz (at least compared to me) and helped me set up a playlist for the party on a Bluetooth system and a video loop of photos of my husband to play on the TVs. She was there the whole night along with a bartender and runner and everything was as smooth as can be. I was totally relaxed knowing that she was taking care of all the details! Thank you so much, Erin! The party would not have been a terrific success without you! Definitely check out River for your next party!
