    Mashed potatoes ($5 small) in to-go container. That's an entire top layer of meat gravy.
    Chris V.

    It's not all smoke and mirrors, but it's maybe a bit overrated on Yelp. Smokeshow BBQ is maybe the 3rd name at least that has appeared on this musical chairs of a business on an otherwise nondescript stretch of Gibson Rd in Henderson. My friend was nice enough to pick up a sampler of sorts, although all items are priced a la carte here (no combos, oddly), and bring it over to my place for us to divvy up. Brisket ($9 for 1/4 lb): specifically, the sliced brisket which barbecue enthusiasts tend to prioritize. Moderate smoke and pulls apart well. Decent on its own and better with both the regular BBQ sauce or the mango habanero. The BBQ sauce is a little sweet and a little tangy, while the mango habanero is very fruit-forward and saves the medium spicy kick for a few seconds later. Pork Belly ($7.50 for 1/4 lb): decent smoke and not too much fat, but also much less tender than you'd hope for, even resisting metal forks when it cools to room temp. Pulled Pork ($6.50 for 1/4 lb): not amazing, but certainly tender and not dry. A better choice than the pork belly if you have to pick one. Very reminiscent of the smoke on the brisket, so they probably really only have one wood and one smoker. Wings ($10 for 5 wings): a bit rubbery and whatever. Really needed the BBQ sauces to help. Mashed potatoes ($5 small): the typical American puree rather than a buttery French recipe or a chunky take, but with an interesting meat gravy that adds enough richness to make it interesting. Coleslaw ($5 small): creamy style slaw, but much more watery than I was hoping for. Absolutely vital for adding freshness to all of the above items though. Banana Pudding ($6.50): a stunning conclusion with creamy pudding, intense banana, and rich crumbled vanilla wafers. I remember trying a banana pudding specialty shop that wasn't this awesome. They did run out of both sausage and ribs by the relatively later time of day on this Sunday. That's too bad because I know my friend always tries the sausage at BBQ joints and I like to try ribs. Smokeshow is a great banana pudding spot where you can find some solid opening acts as well. Hopefully they'll have all the proteins in stock the next time I decide that I wanna have banana pudding.

    What a fun little BBQ spot! The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which always makes the experience even better. The brisket and pork belly were both cooked perfectly! Tender, flavorful, and definitely the highlights of the meal. I'm honestly not a huge BBQ person, but I really enjoyed everything we tried. The tacos I made with the brisket turned out amazing! If you're looking for a great local BBQ place with good food and friendly service, this one is definitely worth checking out.

    Beef rib
    Melissa C.

    Get the beef rib it's huge, perfectly smoked, juicy, and charged on weight-it isn't on their menu IFKYK!! and the cole slaw is its perfect mate!! The staff is amazing and sweet and so attentive what more do you need? Why are you still reading this? Get there!

    Searched up barbque restaurants in Henderson online and found this Gem. Two of us ordered: brisket, [cooked perfectly] sausage link, [so much flavor], St Louis ribs were delicious. Meat quality of all was high. Flavorful and lots of smoke. The home bbque sauce added to its flavor. Side dishes: mac n cheese [flavorful not dry...plenty of sauce and cooked to order], fries were great. Coleslaw could of had a tad more flavor. The cornmuffin was perfection. Both my child and I agreed. I ordered two more for the road. As we sat and waited for our food the restaurant had a good amount of patrons. We watched the workers/owner prepare our food. We could see clearly they did it w care and took pride in their food. We will ABSOLUTELY go back. It is a pleasure to eat well made food!!! If you want barbque in Henderson...this IS THE SPOT! Thank you

    Brisket sandwich
    Jeff S.

    Just tried Smokeshow BBQ and I have a serious complaint... it's 40 minutes away from my house. Absolutely disrespectful to my gas tank. Now that we've addressed the real issue--this place is legit. The fatty brisket might be the best in town. Juicy, packed with flavor, and melts in your mouth exactly the way brisket is supposed to. No shortcuts, no dryness, just straight-up BBQ done right. Their in-house pickles deserve their own spotlight. Not some throwaway side--these are mandatory. Throw them on a brisket sandwich and suddenly everything makes more sense in life. Sausage links? Not your basic jalapeño cheddar situation. These have a unique flavor that actually stands out and somehow makes every other sausage link feel like it's been phoning it in. And the mashed potatoes with rib gravy... ridiculous. Creamy, peppery, rich in all the best ways--like comfort food that hit the gym and came back stronger. Overall: incredible food, great addition to the BBQ scene, and unfortunately located just far enough away to ruin my self-control. Will I drive 40 minutes again? Without hesitation. Probably already planning it. Highly recommend!

    One of the best smoked BBQ I've had this year. Ambiance was casual and quiet place to have late lunch. Price was reasonable. Smore cheesecake wasn't available for dessert. It was sold out by the time we were ordering. BBQ sauce was great with sandwiches but pulled pork was bit dry. Coleslaw was in my sandwich so it was bit messy to eat.

    Natasha O.

    Outstanding food and service!! This was our first time here and it was AMAZING We will be back 100% -- I definitely recommend the pork belly and the poblano Mac n Cheese (the loaded baked potato was awesome too)

    I'm not usually a BBQ fan... but this place completely changed my mind. From the moment we sat down, the staff was genuinely excited for me to try everything. They were eagerly waiting for my reactions as I tasted each meat, which made the whole experience even better and funnier. The flavor? Unreal. I tried the beef rib, pulled pork, and baby back ribs, and every bite was incredibly flavorful and tender. The beef rib especially stood out. My friend said ribs like that are hard to find, and after tasting them, I believe it. So flavorful. So tender. Melt-in-your-mouth good. What really impressed me was the customer service. While we were there, a customer walked in and the staff immediately recognized him and remembered his drink order. That level of attention is rare these days and so greatly appreciated. Amazing food. Even better service. This place turned a non-BBQ person into a believer.

    BEST BBQ you will EVER have! Everything is made in house and to perfection. Joe and his crew have great customer service and kill it with their Pit Skills! You will find yourself saying over and over this is the BEST! Highly recommend. You're welcome in advance :)

    WOW!!! SmokeShow BBQ is hands down one of the BEST BBQ spots we've ever been to! Don't let the small building fool you--this place is serving BIG flavors. The brisket sandwich was unbelievably tender, smoky, and bursting with flavor. The pulled pork was perfectly cooked and absolutely delicious. And the fries... WOW! They were crispy, seasoned to perfection, and honestly some of the best fries we've ever had. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and made with love. You can tell the owners truly care about the quality of their food. This is one of those hidden gems you'll keep coming back to and recommend to everyone. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop at SmokeShow BBQ--you won't regret it!

    Poblano mac n cheese
    Alanah P.

    Small on the inside but plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your food if you'd like. Staff were super friendly & even let me sample the brisket! Much appreciated & thank you for your service & good food! I got Brisket , Mac and cheese & Mashed potatoes. Brisket was really good, a few pieces I got were dry but flavor is there and definitely worth trying if you love brisket like myself! Overall 8/10 Mashed potatoes were good, lacked salt but that added bacon to it gives them a nice flavor. Overall 8/10 Mac n Cheese just needed a little more TLC. It lacked cheese & was just too dry for my liking. I added cheese to it at home to give it a more Mac n cheese feel to it but it definitely has potential with the poblano!! Overall 5/10

    Banana pudding
    Jennifer H.

    We were in the neighborhood and decided to try this BBQ spot. We already have a favorite place a little farther away, so we weren't necessarily looking for a replacement, just something new to try. The restaurant itself is very clean, which makes sense since we learned they've only been open for about six months. Even the bathroom was a pleasant surprise. We were greeted by the two gentlemen working behind the counter, and the setup lets you watch the food being prepared, similar to Chipotle or Jersey Mike's. We decided to sample a good portion of the menu: ribs, a brisket sandwich, banana pudding, a cornbread muffin, collard greens, potato salad, homemade lemonade, and French fries. I'm not sure what we were expecting, but we were completely blown away. Everything was delicious, but the collard greens absolutely stole the show. The ribs had just the right amount of sauce and smokiness, and the brisket sandwich was packed with perfectly smoked meat. Every item we tried was excellent and had zero complaints. Next time we'll work our way through the rest of the menu, but based on this visit, I can't imagine we'll be disappointed. If our second visit is as good as the first, Smokeshow may end up replacing our longtime favorite of 10 years. We can't wait to bring the family when they come to visit!

    Fries, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, 1/2 lb brisket
    Regina C.

    So good! I ordered half a pound of brisket (opted for fatty), large fries, mashed potatoes with beef cheeks gravy, and poblano pepper Mac and cheese for the kiddos and I to share. The brisket was so tender and add the homemade bbq sauce, so delicious. The poblano pepper in the Mac and cheese was my daughters's favorite. My son (6yo) piled his fork with a bit of brisket, mash potatoes, a piece of the Mac and cheese, and then drizzle bbq sauce on it. He said it was the perfect bite. I must admit, the mashed potatoes were the best I have tasted yet. The fries must be cooked in fat to achieve such a nice texture. The gentlemen were also very kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

    Came at 6:27 and they were closed sign said Sold Out?

    Yes! It's true and can happen. They only cook so much meat and they close once they are sold out. It's THAT good!

The berry "cobbler" is SO DAMN delicious, but it's not much of a cobbler in my opinion. More like biscuits and berries...but also a must order.

It's only about 10 minutes from my place, so I made it super easy early in the morning right when they got there at 8:00., and just note that you have to walk all the way around to the side of the building to get in. Nevertheless, I made it to the door. Super cool fact is they also have outdoor seating which is kind of nice, but the real treasure lies within For starters, this place has a real rustic feel. Definitely warm and inviting, lots of tables to sit at. I was greeted warmly when I came in. Told her it was my first time and she was very excited. I was there and gave me the complete rundown of the place as well as her favorites on the menu. I opted for the tri-tip eggs Benedict.. which comes on their signature. Biscuits. Started things off with a cup of coffee. I don't know what brand they use but it was nice and strong and very delicious. The Benedict itself was truly a work of art. The hash browns were cooked to perfection, and whatever Hollandaise sauce they put on that thing is wonderful. I definitely should have asked for extra. The meat was Smoky and perfectly cooked, and made for a very delightful meal. Added bonus, they have a fully stocked bourbon bar that looked very appetizing. It was only 8:30 in the morning so I really didn't feel right about doing an old fashioned, but I will definitely be coming back here on a Friday night for their rib special and I'll have an old fashioned bin and report back. Bottom line? Everything here is wonderful. I have no complaints and it was a absolutely perfect for star meal. If you are anywhere in the area I say go check it out.
