Along Wall Township, you will find this site of unapologetic bliss and gluttony behind an unassuming visage. Website: 5/5 It is easy to navigate, with many sections slowly coming to view as you scroll down the main page. It also had plenty of images of the food, enticing the viewer with utmost curiosity and craving. The menu items offer many selections with most of them having images representing them. Brand: 5/5 The entire aesthetic of SmokeHouse Grille relies on the appearance of an old-fashioned American grill. The interior especially evokes it, for the white-painted wooden walls, floors, and tables invite those looking for briskets. The pig is a recurring symbol throughout the establishment, since it represents the prevalence of briskets and pork products in the menu items. The staff mentioned that the SmokeHouse Grille's ideal first impressions would have an unassuming appearance, but surprise potential customers with their unusual food selection. Indeed, I can see how this could work for this establishment. Ambiance: 3/5 Despite having the appearance of a grill, there was definitely that eerie silence at some moments with no music playing over the radio. The benches where we sat did not feel readily fastened to the floor and I nearly fell off after adjusting myself a few times. The spaces between the tables definitely felt cramped. A silver-lining is that customers have an abundant option to eat outside where plenty of tables rest. Service: 5/5 The staff genuinely enjoyed her time working with the customers. Wait Time: 5/5 We experienced no delays waiting for our orders. Food: 5/5 I can say that pertaining to the Brand section, the hot dogs and the burgers definitely have unique twists to them. I expressed interest in the Mac Dog, which was essentially a course consisting of two hot dogs topped with macaroni and cheese with a side of French fries, with a side of peach tea. It had a well-cooked sausage and the mac-and-cheese topping solidified perfectly by maintaining heat while also not having a gooey intrusion upon my fingers. The buns held their form without disintegrating with every bite. The rich creaminess of the mac-and-cheese topping definitely complemented the spiciness of the hot dog sausage. Worth The Money?: 5/5 Although some of the menu items on the website did not have images, I nevertheless got a good idea of what to expect going in. If the SmokeHouse Grille found itself at some point when they could not make their food, they would default to Peruvian food, since the owner also owns the neighboring Perusa Peruvian Cuisine restaurant. I would be very interested to see traditional Peruvian foods with an American grill twist. I would also recommend giving the pig mascot a name. The relationship the SmokeHouse Grille has with the rest of the community is one that is based on the devotion of returning customers. Indeed, small businesses rely on this type of relationship and I would like to see it expand in the future. Pertaining to the unassuming appearance and unusual food, I can see how it could work, requiring a lot of word-of-mouth from returning customers. Also, if this unique aesthetic would work with music playing over the radio, then I would suggest classic rock along the lines of Chicago that appear old-fashioned in appearance, yet their songs have a variety of deep meanings. I will absolutely say that the food makes this establishment worth its price. The interior ambiance will not be a problem if you choose to eat outside. Rating: 5/5 Stars The average score rounded close to five out of five stars and I can definitely say that I have hope for the SmokeHouse Grille. Recommend To... Anyone enthralled to that unashamedly American brand of cheating food. American cuisine is rife with nutrient-negligent sludge packed with creamy, greasy flavor; might as well make it a part of you. I will not judge. I also recommend the SmokeHouse Grille to anyone who is either an extravert or knows someone who is, who will easily spread the word of this establishment to everyone they know. read more

I stopped here for lunch break for work, since it was on my way to my next destination. When I walked in, I was greeted professionally. I ordered my food, and it came out in a very timely fashion. Everything was very delicious too. If you're in Wall or near Route 34, scope, this place out for sure. Great prices and good food. read more

It's so hard to find REAL BBQ in NJ! That's what I thought until I stopped here. I FOUND IT! Amazing flavor, smoke, tangy sauces and excellent sides. The brisket is a superstar as well as their Baby Back Ribs! Both juicy and had tons of flavor. A hit with everyone at home. You must get the Collard Greens and Mac and Cheese! Both of them were on point! The Chili and the Baked Beans are also must tries! Moist Cornbread? Yes! Not the usual dry throat scratching type everyone else has! You'll be happy you tried this place!!! read more

Eh...the pulled pork was on the dry side but flavorful...get the sweet sauce with it...hush puppies were on the bland side...plusses were the French fries and the portion size. Service was fast and friendly and the decor was cute. read more

Excellent Door Dash order was put together perfectly. No Bun everything was wrapped separate and I don't eat fries and they substituted collard greens. Perfect job Smokehouse grille!!!! I'm impressed!!!! read more

Came in to sample a few things on a budget. They sell meat by the 1/4 lb, but were nice enough to give me an 1/8th lb of brisket and an 1/8th lb of pulled pork so I could try both for just $7.50. Asked for a small free sample of beans and got nearly a full side dish worth for free! Also came with half sour dill pickle that tasted home made. The brisket lacked flavor but was very tender. The pork had more flavor and nice bits of "bark" and burnt crunchy corners. Their classic BBQ sauce was very sweet and brown sugary with a slight kick. I prefer a more vinegary sauce but I was still drenching the pork in it. The beans were good and had a slight smokiness to them. Great value for the price and decent but not the best BBQ. read more

Back again...decided to try their Pork Wings since I've never heard of such a thing. Basically ribs on a stick. Different but cute lol! A little busier today than last time. Guess the lunch crew are coming in. Prices are pretty good for bbq. Fries are good and crispy. Service today could have been better but oh well. Overall not too shabby. read more

SmokeHouse Grille - 1 inion ring order, was small enough I had to ask of it was a mistake it wasn't - Southern Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

Fast food done with flavor and texture. All bbq items are good and the sides are great. The best item though are the hamburgers. The best in the area. Made fresh to order so call ahead. Juicy flavorful and ample. Nothing better to satisfy your hunger. People are always nice but we get our food to go. read more

Completely inauthentic barbecue - literally no grill outside or smoke inside. No smokey smell or meat smell anywhere. Just an actual facade of a fire in the kitchen every so often. Food: - ribs 1000% not fresh, not even hot. Possibly pre smoked meat that was microwaved for only 23 seconds. Decorated with some bbq sauce - brisket dry, not fresh, not hot. Served in aluminum foil to create illusion of idk what - pulled pork not fresh, not hot. Drowning in bbq sauce - smokey baked beans straight out of a can from the Great Depression. Lukewarm perfection - cornbread baked possibly the day or week before courtesy of Betty Crocker; void of corn and bread - Snapple peach iced tea: the saving grace of the experience. Overly sweet beverages are not our thing, but that one bottle did its best to wash down our "meal" Ambience: Very plainly put, this area is seemingly horrific if you are a "minority," if you know what I mean. My husband and I are both Asian-American, and we were stared at for the entirety of our meal by a rowdy family group of customers. One of the children repeatedly kicked my husband's chair, and her parents, her older siblings, nor the "restaurant" owners/employees did anything besides watch. They actually watched. One of the older siblings tried to slyly take a photo of us apparent aliens by pretending to take a picture of the decorative pig that was right next to me. 11/10 do not recommend - Partially Sorry for Bothering / Partially Hoping for Change in this Building of the World read more

The service was subpar, I felt like I was bothering the cashier when placing my order. Food was subpar at best, the pulled chicken is covered in bbq sauce, with no actual smoke flavor. The sausage links for $4 I thought had to be good, considering the price. However it tasted like supermarket sausage links made on a gas grill. I don't think I'd return here. read more

Solid!!! Don't sleep on the collared greens. The platters are generous and their bbq sauce is just right. They are affiliated with Stewart's so they have the sodas and dogs too. Casual seating indoors or out--order at the counter. Wait time can be extensive as there are typically a lot of pick up orders. read more

Stopped By again today. Love the brisket. Coleslaw is Awesome too. Always a busy place. Quick delicious food. Nice beverage selection also. Really good flavor. Spicy bbq is perfect. read more

Stopped for dinner while traveling for work. Great brisket sandwich! It's a perfect place to get your bbq craving filled! I would definitely recommend this place and will be going back when I'm in town. read more

SmokeHouse Grille - Texas Brisket Sandwich with fries - take out - Southern Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

See all

After reading some of the poor reviews I was hesitant to try Smokehouse grille. I was shocked at how good the food was. I ordered a half lbs. the sliced brisket and it was the best I've ever had in Jersey. The dalmation rub on the bark was perfect, not too salty not too peppery, but you knew it there. The meat was moist and didn't need saucing, it had plenty of smoke flavor. I have been back to try the pulled pork sandwich, it was over-stuffed, moist and not too fatty, great smokey flavor. The fries that came with the sandwich were also outstanding and portion was huge, I couldn't finish it. I recommend if you tried this place before and weren't happy , try it again. read more

Excellent customer service, we were greeted promptly as we entered the establishment. Friendly and competent young woman explained the menu and took our order. I order the Brisket Sandwich and my hubby had the pulled pork sandwich. Fries come with the sandwiches but did not eat mine. I had a side of Mac and Cheese which was very tasty. First time here. Would highly recommend it. read more

BRISKET. Sat outside with 1/4 brisket, 1/4 pulled pork. Both were really good, but brisket is the star. Tender but not mushy, full of flavor. Nice work! read more

SmokeHouse Grille - Platter $14 - Southern Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

After driving by this place hundreds of times we finally tried it. I have been to Austin many times so I know good bbq. I got a brisket sandwich that came with fries. The brisket was super tender with perfect amount of smoke for me. The bun was a soft and was a perfect vessel for the brisket. The fries were a little disappointing. They have frozen fries w the spray starch similar to Burger King. If they had fresh cut fries it would bring them to 5 stars. My son got the bacon cheese hot dog. He loved it. The bacon was super dried out snd whole pieces would have been better as bacon bits (which we made by crumbling the pieces ourselves). We got a side of Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was more of a cheese sauce. I would say average at best. Overall it was a great and can't wait to go back. Next time I will get the sampler. read more

I have driven past the Smokehouse Grille numerous times. We decided that we had to get out of the house with the pandemic. We were in need of a good burger. We ordered takeout. I had the Smokehouse burger. Awesome! Cooked to a perfect medium rare.The lettuce and tomato was fresh. Loved the bun. Fries were spot on perfect. Wife had the cheeseburger. Same evaluation as mine. Stole my dill pickle slices! The thing that really put this over the top for the wife was the hand scooped milkshake. We have already decided that next week we are going back for the brisket. Smokehouse earned it's 5 stars in my opinion. That's was my opinion for this night. Yours may differ. But I do call them like I see them. read more

I was in area and it liked like an interesting place to try out. The menu is straight forward. The staff is pleasant. The inside and outside dining area is friendly. The good was really good. The chicken was moist, tender, and flavorful. The brisket was ok. The texture was tender but the flavor was just ok. The coleslaw was ok if you like your slaw on the moist side and without a touch of sweetness. The collard greens where well flavored, and tender, and cut big. The fries were great. read more

Poorly run business. The owner is either irresponsible or worse. The owner had an agreement with restaurant.com. They simply decided not to accept, certificates that are valid and unexpired. If that's how they run a business, I don't even want to know what kind of BS they are doing with the food they provide. Shame on this owner, who clearly lacks integrity. read more

Was in the mood for good barbecue and ordered the sampler platter, the half of rack was like 6 ribs. The cornbread was incredibly terrible. The brisket was awfully average. We found hair in one of my side sauces and crappy mashed potatoes. The only good thing from this overpriced shit hole was the burger. So if you're looking for overpriced barbecue with pubic hairs this is the place. read more

Take out is terrific... They have the best fries and the wings and collard greens are full of flavor. The wings were meaty and filling. You can't beat the price here. This is getting 4 out of 5 because the flies were a problem. If you have outdoor seating, make sure you are doing what you can to eliminate pests. But overall, this place is consistent and the place to come if you want a good meal. read more

No idea why anyone would go here. No taste to pulled pork. Mushy. Overdone Brisket. Don't waste money..

Got the chicken and ribs with side of collard greens. Collard greens bland and not a fan but ribs was very good. Bbq chicken was dry so i suggest you stick to the ribs. Next time I'll try the brisket and Mac and cheese. read more

Looking for a place with real flame grilled Burgers and we found it... Not only are the Burgers great but the fries and the Onion rings are great too. I tried a Sausage and now I get one every time I place an order. Mac & Cheese, Chili, Pulled Pork on a Burger all very good. This is now one of our go to places... read more

First time here. I am big fan of BBQ. But to me that means one thing...smoke. I ordered 1/4lb of each pulled pork and brisket. While both were tender, they lacked any depth of smokiness. The brisket had no smoking ring that I could tell. The sauces were tangy and helped. French fries were very good. Nice and crisp. The baked beans were also good. Not great but above average. Things to avoid are the corn bread and the collards. The corn bread had little flavor and turned to a mushy paste in the mouth. Not good eats. The collards are more savory than sweet-n-sour like I prefer. It came with lots of onions and bits of chicken and it was floating in a chickeny sort of sauce. Overall, I give it an average rating. Not bad. Certainly better than some. But there are better places. Staff is friendly and the food served quick, which means that it's most likely sitting in a steam table in the back. read more

Great service! Reasonable prices... snarls amazing! Can't wait o try it. Bringing it home now! read more

If I could give a 0 I would. I don't usually leave reviews but 2 weeks later this is still bothering me. Used to have very good food, this is now the 3rd time in a row I have had the same issue. I placed an order online, and even after ordering called to request the hot dog not to be over cooked. I showed up on a Monday at 1pm 25 minutes after placing the order. The cashier was sitting in the corner on my phone and looked surprised that there was an order. She said it would be another 20 minutes. So I waited 45 minutes for a hot dog and Mac and cheese bites on a Monday afternoon since she never paid attention to my order. Of course, now I was late and didn't check the food till I got home. Not only was the hot dog burned but I got Mac and cheese not Mac and cheese bites. I called and she said the bites would be refunded, they never were. Don't have online ordering if you aren't going to pay attention to the orders when they come through. Will not be back read more

Ate here at 7:00 on a Friday. A little bit about myself, I worked as a pit master for a while at surf bbq, i smoke meat at home as a hobby, and I've eaten bbq all over. This place was not good. The brisket had no visible smoke ring whatsoever and seemed to lack any type of bark. I prefer fatty brisket (the point) over lean brisket (the flat) but the fat has to be rendered properly, this was not. The smoked sausage was a little over done (meaning too charred as they touch it on the grill after smoking) and tasted like a generic Italian sausage. The smoked chicken was fairly dry and fairly bland. The cornbread definitely came from a box mix. All in all it seems like they have a ways to go before they call themselves real southern bbq. Would love to give them some tips. Jersey shore bbq in Belmar is a much better bet or surf bbq in rumson. read more

I ordered a half pound of so called, "Texas" brisket and a half pound of ribs and onion rings. My bill was a little over $21.00. The onion rings were decent, though the portion was tiny. The "Texas" brisket was not really edible. It was wet, soggy and had no smoke ring. In addition, it wasn't cut against the grain like anyone who knows anything about BBQ does so it was rubbery and tough to chew. It was more like really bad roast beef. I threw most of it away. The ribs were at least edible but not nearly as good as ribs from Chili's or Applebees. There was a bit of fat on them as well. I would never return here and have already told several people not to try this place out. read more

Only 2 Stars this time! So I got takeout from here about a month ago. It was absolutely delicious, order was ready as promised, food was piping hot when I picked it and still nice and hot when I got to my destination about 10 minutes away - 5 Stars! Last night was a much different story! Ordered online through their website. The meal was delivered 30 minutes later than the estimated delivery time of 40 minutes. So I waited an hour and 10 minutes for food that was only - let's call it "still warm". The worst part was that the rack of baby back ribs were woefully under cooked to the point I was afraid to eat them. So the ribs went on the grill for another 20 minutes while we ate our "still warm" sides (baked beans, hush puppies, mashed potatoes, and amazing cornbread) to tide us over. I am not trying to trash this place, as they are a small business and would like them to succeed! Just a warning about the delivery service in case you don't want your dinner touring Monmouth County before you get it. I may give them another shot on a pick up basis. read more

So glad I finally stopped and tried this place and can't wait to go back. The brisket was beyond delicious and just fell apart in your mouth, the mac & cheese was so creamy, and the pulled pork was out of this world. The milkshake was also one of the best I've had in a while. read more

SmokeHouse Grille - This is the Texas Brisket sandwich that comes with fries - Southern Near Me - Wall Township, New Jersey

Good burgers and chicken. Could use some seasoning on the chicken and it would be 5 stars.

We ate outside and had an excellent meal. My boyfriend got the full rack of ribs and I got half brisket and half pulled pork. We got onion rings and Mac and cheese for sides as well as cornbread. We left stuffed and satisfied; everything was absolutely amazing. We'll definitely be back. read more

Surprisingly, I am the initial Yelper here!!! This place was an old Stewart's for decades. Well there's a new kid in town! And this place is downright cool and refreshing decor. The outside dining is as cool with table with umbrellas in the sunshine and shady tree tables for whatever your delight. Inside, it's new, designed so well, and clean. Now the menu. Your BBQ staples but with several options. Smart discounts on food after 7pm. Love that!! I came in a little after 7 and the brisket was sold out. To a foodie, that's a good statement. So, I'll go healthier and get Pulled Chicken. A true test of flavor and an establishment's chops. A side of collard greens usually lets me know if I like your food. Well, I opened my takeout. Photo documentation in the initial Yelp pics. I suppose because it was late I not only got my pulled chicken but I was given pulled pork and both are fantastic! The chicken slightly spicy, the pork tender. Since I was so caught up in getting this business in Yelp, I forgot to get sauce. Did not need it! Yes, that good. And the extra food was already in my container well before asking the owner if they were on Yelp. I know this is a scattered review but the greens were so good I'm drinking the leftover broth. Finally, a quick taste of the cornbread seals the deal. 5 stars all the way. Good luck to a hopeful mainstay and many stops for me. I plan to bring family, friends and biz acquaintances as well as spread the BBQ gospel of this new place. read more

Not very good and will not be back. Had the wings which had what tasted like red hot sauce straight from the bottle. The ribs where average at best but they did fall off the bone. Usually hit the bbq in Belmar or Neptune City which are very good and enjoyable. Skip this place and try either of those. read more

Picked up food for a group of 40 people. The food was delicious and was only matched by the hospitality of the staff. They helped me load my car and made sure I had everything I needed prior to leaving. I will definitely be back in the future. read more

For a place with four stars, I expected way better tasting food. The food was soo salty, it was barely edible. I wouldn't return here again. read more

Definitely not authentic southern BBQ. Meat was salty and dry. Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes were were Bland. Waste of money
