Burnt ends, coleslaw, baked beans, banana pudding
Amanda V.

When I travel, I'm usually on one of two quests: finding a town's best old fashioned or tracking down its best BBQ. In Great Falls, Montana, that second mission is easily accomplished at Smoked. I went all in with the brisket burnt ends, baked beans, coleslaw, and banana pudding for dessert--and every bite confirmed I was exactly where I was supposed to be. The burnt ends were rich, smoky, and indulgent in the best way. The portions were perfectly sized (which I deeply appreciate), leaving room to enjoy everything without feeling overdone. The coleslaw was solid and refreshing, though I couldn't help wishing I'd gone for the spicy version--lesson learned for next time. The baked beans, though? Basic in the most comforting, nostalgic way. They instantly transported me to gathering around a campfire with friends, plates balanced on knees, smoke in the air, and no rush to be anywhere else. And then there was the banana pudding--simple, satisfying, and exactly the sweet ending a great BBQ meal deserves. If you find yourself in Great Falls and craving BBQ that delivers both flavor and feeling, Smoked is the place. This is the kind of spot that reminds you why seeking out local favorites is always worth it.

The best food ever!

Such wonderful food and staff. Very friendly environment as well I will be back. This was our first time here and the staff did a great job of explaining things and making great recommendations.

Best BBQ, staff and owners around! Delicious food, always so friendly and are a true community partner who gives back to supporting those in need, military and community. Thank you to Trevor, Christy and Smoked BBQ for being a terrific business in Great Falls and serving up the best BBQ in Montana!

Mac and cheese
Missy S.

Outstanding, there's not really much more to say! I was late to get to the airport and I wanted something good to eat while I was there so I picked up a brisket sandwich, some mac & cheese, and an extra potato salad and they were all delicious. The people working there were also very nice and helpful. Great experience and if I'm ever traveling through here again I will definitely stop by.

When in Great Falls and looking for lunch, stop in for some BBQ. Low key relax place with tables inside (no reserving according to sign) and picnic benches outside. Jump up to the counter and order your choice of meats, sides and carbs. The restaurant has brisket, ribs, pork belly and more. You can get it by a pound or as a sandwich. For sides there are Mac and cheese, beans, coleslaw and more. You can also get a side of corn bread and dessert. They also have sweet tea. Great staff! Very warm and friendly. They will appreciate you stopping by. And by the looks of the map posted on the wall, customers have been pouring in from all across the country! Note the place closes early. On a daily basis it closes at 3:30. And when we went at 1:00 ribs were out: so plan accordingly if you desire a certain cut of meat! Enjoy! Note: parking lot is located on side of restaurant plus street parking

2 meat plate with brisket and cheddar sausage

Smoked is an absolute GEM in this city. Their menu and food is amazing! I went with the brisket and sausage, and it didn't let down at all! Place is filled with old signage, and decor but it doesn't let down at all. Service is quick, and it's expected when the sign outside says open from 11am - 3pm or sellout which happens often. Definitely a place worth visiting! Also, pay the extra $1 for the Brisket Mac&Cheese as a side, it's absolutely WORTH IT !!

Amazing tray of food!! Left to right - smoked turkey, pork, brisket. Mac and cheese, slaw, potato salad!!
Lorraine T.

Surprising considering I spend half my free time eating freeze dried meals. I also used to be a chef (a LONNNG time ago). That being said we decided to grace everyone in The Block with our "Fresh out-the field" straight back from elk hunting aromas and get some food that was actually edible. I had the Alpine Melt (Fontina, prosciutto, sautéed spinach and mushrooms). Sweet Mary mother of God was it good. It was also not "have been eating stuff that is considered a war crime on your stomach type food, so this just SEEMS better" good, it would have been good if I had just got done eating a normal meal. The home made chips are awesome as well. They also had a decent selection of NA beers for weirdo teetotlers like myself. Because as much as I abstained from alcohol, I also abstain from drinking stuff that tastes like rotten piss covered potato chips which is what NA beers used to taste like (thank God for the craft NA beer craze now). So, for the folks at The Block, kudos, and you should just find a place on the menu for that thing.

Do you feel awkward parking at a hotel that looks like a total dump just to go upstairs to this bar? Yes, but you still should. I ended up going on my own, and came back with colleagues the last night of our trip as it's a must stop. As I'm sure we all know, what makes it fun and unique is the dancing Mermaid performances in the pool behind the bar. Such a cool concept to watch them entertain you while you enjoy a good drink. My first time in the bartender was fantastic and giving me all the history of the place, and how the pool used to just be the hotels' actual swimming pool, and guests would swim in it, no Thank you. I ordered the cranberry cherry limeade, not realizing that it was basically a bucket full of booze, equivalent to three drinks (not complaining, just forewarning) also enjoyed chatting with the bartender about how the place is haunted. Definitely gives off that vibe and total dive bar/tiki feel. I'd come back every time I'm in this town or on a road trip. 21+---although they allowed a few families to come in with kids for a minute and get a picture by the mermaids, which I thought was super cool. And yes, you can tip the maids too! I didn't get any food from the restaurant, but I heard from a few it wasn't amazing so I think this is just a dive drinking spot for me.
