The Porker sandwich, coleslaw & portobello fries are so delicious. The Porker is by far one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Amber was nice, attentive, & got us in and out completely satisfied! read more

I got takeout, but the interior is cute and casual, and they have nice patio seating as well. Upon the recommendation of the server, I chose a full rack of ribs and got the cornbread with honey butter, green beans, and slaw. Got the ribs with their regular sauce plus some spicy sauce, which had a nice heat to it. They were cooked well and a good size amount. The beans were advertised as a twist with no pork in them, and I think it might have been some walnuts (?) They were tasty, as was the slaw. The little highlight of the meal was actually the cornbread and honey butter. I'm a big eater but have enough of everything for a whole nother meal (except the cornbread, I ate that all). Very reasonable, all came to $23. #yum #ReviewsByRl read more

The Wednesday night steak special is delicious! It came with two cornbread muffins and a baked potato. The steak was covered in a delicious compound butter. I ordered my steak medium rare, it came out medium. However, if was extremely juicy. So I didn't mind it being overcooked. The steak melted in my mouth and tasted like it was freshly grilled. The potato was nothing special. I do think charging fifty cents for sour cream is excessive. Every restaurant I've ever been to butter and sour cream are included when you order a baked potato. The corn bread muffins were slightly sweet and moist. They were paired with a sweet butter. To top it off our waitress was very attentive, but we were the only table at 5:00. I will definitely be back! read more

Spectacular customer service for catering carry out. Pulled pork was moist and delicious!! Thanks again!! read more

to be totally honest, I thought I was ordering from a different BBQ restaurant. I'm so glad I messed up. I ordered the half rack of ribs and coleslaw and the beans delivered. . The ribs were very good.. They fell off the bone. The coleslaw was really good and creamy, Not excited about the beans. But overall, it was very good food. Next time I'm going to try to eat in. Would definitely order from there or eat there again. read more

I love their portobello fries and brisket wraps the most, yet all their food is delicious. I do miss their pork rinds as they were the best I've ever tasted and I hope they bring them back. One of my favorite restaurants. Sitting at the bar and having a drink while I eat and talk to the staff and others sitting at the bar. read more

This was our 2nd visit to Smokey's, we were here about a year ago and truly enjoyed it so since we were in the area again we stopped in for Mothers Day. We were quickly seated and our waitress was prompt to arrive after that and took our drink orders & pointed out the specials. The menu was as we remembered it and the waitress was quickly back with our drinks and took our order. I went with the 1/2 slab of ribs and my wife got the pork platter. They were out to the table in a very reasonable time. Just like our previous experience the food was excellent. My ribs were perfectly done and fall off the bone tender. My wife's pork platter was very good she said. The restaurant was less than half full when we arrived but it was a pleasant crowd! It's a safe bet that we will return when we are next in this area! BONUS-Our waitress brought my wife out a long stem Carnation for Mothers Day! read more

Great atmosphere for a night out for a date or with friends. Good food and customer service.

First time at Smokeys. And last time. Sadly. Brisket sliced wrong, making it more chewy than it should be. And I don't even know what was going on with the "pork burnt ends"...odd flavor and not tender. Burnt ends are always supposed to be extra tender morsels of goodness and BBQ love. At least the cole slaw is good. read more

First time the food was mediocre and poor selections. The brisket looked strange and dark . The muffin not edible and sweet potatoe tots very skimpy ! Not going g backeven if it was free. Go to City Barbque or Shortys read more

the quality of the food has decreased i immensely as the prices continued upward. probably not a bad place for mediocre food, but nothing as special as it used to be. The service was okay, and the ambiance seems to follow along with the sports bar ambience. No sound baffling or control. it's a shame that so many restuarant seem to think that sound amplification is a cool ambiance - wrong!!!! when you plan on a relaxing and enjoyable dinner with guests and enjoy visiting and sharing the experience with them, it's unfortunate the background noise is louder than your conversation. read more

I'm always up to try a new BBQ place, and although it took me a while to get over here, I'm glad I made the trek. Atmosphere: It's comfortable and clean, even the men's room. The patio/porch is a nice place to sit on a breezy day like today. I ate at the bar yesterday, and that was fine too...comfortable bar chairs. Food: I read the other reviews, and all I can say is: if you had a bad meal here, I'm sorry about your luck. My food was pretty damned good; not perfect, but pretty good. The baby back ribs were dry rubbed and were perfectly cooked (meat fell off the bone). A half rack only has 6 bones, but there is A LOT of meat per bone! The beef brisket was also perfectly cooked. It was, however, a little fattier than I like. Mind you, it wasn't as fatty as Famous Dave's or Shorty's, but not as lean as City Q or Smoke BBQ. The cole slaw was excellent, as was the corn bread. I do agree with a previously reviewer in that the "intense smokey flavor" that I look for in a BBQ joint was lacking; not absent entirely, just lacking. The three house BBQ sauces were also a little less flavorful that what I prefer. Service: Awesome. Friendly and fast. Booze: Although I didn't drink, I noticed a nicely stocked liquor shelf, and enough taps that any casual beer drinker should be happy. Cost: A little more expensive than I thought. When I come to this part of town with an empty stomach, 4 out of 5 times, it's gonna be so that I can eat at Big Apple Deli (next door), but I'm definitely coming back to Smokey's. read more

I have ate here before and it was much better. Tonight the food was greasy and salty. The french fries looked like they soaked in a pot of oil. The corn on the cob (which apparently I got the last one) was water logged and had absolutely no flavor. The service was ok but the waitress was rather unpleasant. What disappointed me the most was the CC surcharge that i got on my bill. When i asked the staff about this I was told that when we got our new credit card machine the fees are now passed on to the customer but if I pay cash the fee goes away. News to me..... i don't think I will be going back anytime soon. The 2 star rating instead of 1 is for some propr good experiences there. read more

I love this place. Great food, good drinks, friendly staff. Easily the best on this side of town. I recommend the burnt ends. Drink and food specials most days. I highly recommend the cherry Margarita. Smoked turkey is so tender and juicy and that pork ribeye is amazing. Sides are delicious and plentiful. Definitely one of my fav places. read more

Food: outstanding! The combination entrees are enough to feed two, maybe even three! The mac and cheese was some of the best I've ever had. The cornbread was great! The roadhouse potato was really good as well! The ribs were okay, but the brisket was excellent! The three sauce options were great too! Drinks: good selection of draft beers for really cheap! Yeungling on tap! Atmosphere: outdoor patio with about 12 tables and about 20 inside with a small bar. All open. Great staff! Even better food! read more

Brisket paired with spicey bbq sauce was delicious! Mushroom fries were amazing paired with the sauce that comes with them! Oh the cornbread was delicious as well! Struggling to understand the 3 stars this restaurant has as the food was the best bbq I have had in a long time! read more

really good food. the atmosphere is awesome. I highly recommend this place. I got pulled pork meal. The pulled pork is really good. The bbq sauces are amazing. I'm not a fan of the green beans. It taste as if they smoke them too. My meal came with corn bread. Corn bread is sweet and really good. It comes with a honey butter. read more

Do not waste your time or money here. The ribs and beef brisket were very dry. The ribs were over seasoned with little to no smoke flavor. They were not of competition quality of tugging off the bone, but rather tough to bite into and no moisture of the meat. The brisket was over cooked and dry with little seasoning and no smoke line present. I understand some kitchen nights are tough but what took the cake was when they charged extra for a side of salad dressing and an extra charge for using a credit card; ALL WITH OUT PRIOR NOTICE! Of further frustration was when we questioned our server she said; "please don't take offense, but the owner use to take it out of our checks if you used your credit card, at least now he is charging you"! Dear owner of Smokey's, WAKE UP! There is a reason why on a Friday night I can walk into your place and be seated immediately with many open tables while every restaurant within a 2 mile radius of you has over a 1 hour wait! You still required mask when the governor said we were good! You surcharged for using a credit card when the government said not to use cash! Hello sir you can't have it both ways! Though your food presented like that of a gas station food on heated rollers, only gas stations surcharge for credit credits. You sir are not in the gas business! I wish you luck as a local restaurant owner, who we fully support! But we will not be back until you change your practice of charging people or stealing from your servers for patrons using credit cards! And please serve bbq the way it was meant to be eaten! The only reason I gave it 2 star?, at least the server was honest! read more

Great service and even better food! Had a great time with very friendly staff. The food choices are nice and there is a lot to choose from. I recommend this place, hands down! The owners were there talking to guests and helping expedite the service. Very friendly people. read more

Came here for a big family party thing -- not my favorite format, but sometimes you need to all get together. Despite having checks split in such a way that would crash most POS systems, it felt like a typical meal out as opposed to being in a party of twenty. The food was good and the service was very good. The owner himself checked up on the proceedings. read more

The first time I tried Smokeys, I was seriously dissapointed. I ordered the Brisket and it was served lukewarm. My boyfriend ordered the same and his was just cold. A year later (tonight), we decided to try it again. He ordered the BBQ Brisket wrap and I ordered the half rack of Ribs. He gave his wrap a rave review, it was very flavorful and he was pleased. Sadly, my ribs were once again barely warm and instead of fall off the bone tender, it was rubbery, fatty, and chewy. Im thinking I probably will not return. I also need to point out, that the service this last trip left much to be desired as well. read more

i have always enjoyed a good bbq! i always get pork bbq ! with piggy tales.( mac and cheese!. i always leave feeling full!Cheesy Pigtails

Ordered some Burnt ends and some Sweet potato fries for appetizers and a rack of ribs, and a catfish dinner to go during the pandemic. Our food was nice and hot and was delicious. Was very happy with our meal and the take-out service. Wait staff was friendly and food was ready when they said it would be. Will be back. read more

Went here many times and enjoyed their food. We just went there lastnight and on the check, instead of tax it said "Trumps cut". Why can't a business leave political things out? This was more childish then funny. read more

Smokey's BBQ Roadhouse - Here is my receipt - Barbeque Near Me - Oregon, Ohio

Don't even mess around with the burgers or pulled pork here. Ribs are too good. Also, Monday is steak night and they can handle a steak pretty good as well. Overall the ambiance is pretty ok, help is USUALLY friendly. Beer is cold. Good sides! Love the baked beans. Recommend - Ribs or on Monday filet w/ shrimp What could take it to a 5? Better brisket, pulled pork, chicken, etc... UPDATE 9/29/18 -- Eat the brisket! Something here has improved. It's a 4.5 now. read more

I went for the first time the other night. I couldn't decide weather to give it a 4 or 3 star. I think the value was good for the money. I ordered the Brisket with 2 sides. I chose the macaroni and cheese and baked potato. The baked potato was huge. I can see why people would like the macaroni but to me it was very Velveeta like, very thick. Like eating a mouth full of peanut butter. The brisket was good, not to much fat and I liked the spicy BBQ sauce. It also came with "corn bread" I use quotes because I am not sure there was any actual corn meal in it. Truly tasted like I was eating yellow box cake mix. Not my cup of tea. All said and done even with what I didn't care for I would go back. They had other sides that looked great and I really liked their semi open patio area. The prices were good and drinks were decent. I look forward to trying other menu options. read more

Smokey's started out as my favorite burger and bbq joints in the area. The quality has progressively gone down hill. I was hoping the recent hit and miss quality was an off night for a cook or perhaps a new cook learning the ropes. This latest order had a side dish missing, a burger cooked wrong, and an obvious down-size of the cheesy pig tails. I can no longer recommend what was once one of my favorite restaurants. Owners take note, your quality is suffering. read more

The brisket is amazing when paired with the spicy sauce, and the cheesy pigtails we're thick and flavorful. Fries were oily and soft " which is how I like them" and the corn bread muffins we're pleasantly sweat. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere looked like it was like what a northerner thinks the south is like "in a good way". Nothing but Positive from me. read more

Oh my, We went thinking the poor reviews could not be as bad as what we were reading, but yes they are. Its sad to think there are so many five stars. When we arrived the place looked closed. The people that just pulled in thought the same. Me and a person from their party both went to the door, and gave the thumbs up to our respective group to say yes the are open. Upon entering there Is one other table of customers, and five servers on duty. Not a good sign but maybe just bad timing. We reviewed the menu and each chose a different meal. I could write a book, so i will skip to the point, Brisket, Pulled Pork Platter neither actually would qualify as good BBQ. The sauce was in bottles at the table. Had baked pigtails as a side (mac n cheese) was the best part of dinner which was sad considering the prices. Each entree included cornbread muffins. Upon first bite we were taken back the sweetness. Its as though the owners kids left their easybake oven cupcakes and they placed on our plate (cutting board). No sign of cornmeal and every bit of a cake mix even to the point of little gree n and red specs in the muffin. read more

Awsome place to eat. The brisket is really good. The service is very friendly. Ask for Mikey she is an amazing waitress.

I will start with saying this place deserves two separate reviews. I imagine if you came and got a burger you might leave thinking it was a great place to hang out and eat (although I didn't try the burger). However the place has BBQ in their name so I will judge it based on that. For the good. The atmosphere and decor were really cool. Well done. The sides we tried were a home run. Sweet tater tots were amazing. Handcut fries were top notch and the Mac and cheese was gooey and delicious. Then there was the BBQ. Awful and not worthy of the name BBQ. Firstly my wife and I wanted to split a combo and add pulled pork to it. We couldn't do that and instead had to add an entire sandwich to the bill. When the meat came it was one disappointment after another. Pulled pork, brisket, baby back ribs. Not so much as a speck of smoke ring and no smoke flavor as either. The pulled pork was terrible and tasted like a crock pot version. I knew it was a bad sign when the BBQ place didn't have a woodpile or a smoker outside. I know you can get a quality commercial indoor smoker, but after tasting the BBQ I'm skeptical if what they're coming with. On the whole the sides are worthy of 5 stars and might bring me back. But I'll avoid the BBQ and since BBQ is in their name I must score this review in that context. read more

This was our first trip, on a Monday. The environment was clean, appropriate for type of restaurant, and our wait staff was friendly. Our service was slow, but she was very nice. The burnt ends appetizer was ok, good taste, but in my opinion seemed old. Like not that day burnt ends. They were shriveled up; again, just my opinion. Fries yummy, beef ribs yummy, house sauce yummy, brisket yummy, ribs...per my hubby not yummy because the fat wasn't trimmed off and the rub was on the fat. Not the ribs. Not sure if this is normal, but every BBQ place we have visited trimmed the fat off. Corn bread to die for, pork and beans had a little too much of a ketchup taste but still yummy. Overall, we would absolutely go back. Nice to see a place like this in that area! Oh and the bathrooms were clean! Changed two babies and was not afraid to put them on the changing table. read more

The dinner was ok. The half a chicken was dry, turkey was good, steak was delicious, chicken sandwich was a little soggy, pulled pork was tasty. We had to wait 25 minutes because they rsvped every table. The waitress was great and the manager came around but we didn't discuss the dry chicken bc we were done eating. Probably wouldn't go again. read more

This is a brand new business that just opened on Woodville Rd. It is located in the former Ponderosa building. They have done an excellent job remodeling it. The woodwork is very nice. They have a nice big bar with twelve different beers on tap. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It comes with one side dish so I got the hand cut French fries. The pulled pork was delicious and tasted like it was slow cooked in a smoker for a long time. The roll was very delicious as well. The fries could have been a little better. They weren't very hot but they tasted okay. The only other complaint I have is I wish there could have been a little more pork on the sandwich as it didn't fill me up. It was very delicious though. The servers are all very nice and it didn't take long to get my food. I will have to try something different the next time I go. It's good to have another place to eat in Oregon. read more

Was just in this past Sunday. .I ordered the pulled pork plater. The pork and cold slaw was great.The baked beans not so much..I felt they were abit over priced. But the reason I won't go back is my meal was served on a sheet of paper placed on a serving tray. . . read more

Ok, first time here and it was not to bad. I am from Kansas City and I love BBQ and I get picky about it. I gave it 3 stars rather go 3 1/2 stars. Cheese curds were really good. Sweet potato tots were a family favorite. Mac and cheese aka cheesy pigtails was ok.. It was over cooked and to greasy for my taste. The pulled pork was good just wish it had more of a smokey taste. It was not fatty just had no smoke flavor. The Brisket was ok. It was more fatty than it should be. It to also needs to be smoked better. Pork was better in my opinion. The house BBQ sauce was a little to sweet for me and the spicy BBQ sauce was good. I would tell people to mix them for the best taste; again just my opinion. The corn bread with the honey butter was good. Just wish the corn bread muffins were just a bit bigger. Service was great and very friendly. Never had to ask for a refill. The inside of the restaurant was really cool and fit a nice BBQ restaurant. Next time I will have to try the dessert menu, I hear it's pretty good as well! I would and will go back anytime. There drink menu is big; it might be bigger then there food menu. :) read more

2/6/16. Much improved sense opening night. Ordered the half & half, beef ribs were moist and tender. Pork ribs were dry and over cooked. The greatest part of our experience was Ashley our server! We had a group of 30+ and she never missed a beat! Always a smile, and fast. The kitchen has improved 90%. Thanks Ashley! read more

Heard the commercials on the radio forever for this place and finally made the trip. Wish we would have sooner. Pork burnt ends were great. Ribs and brisket was great too. Fresh cut fries, and Mac n cheese was awesome too. Service was friendly and prompt. Will for sure be back. read more

Me and my husband just had dinner here. We were extremely disappointed. As BBQ lovers we were really looking forward to trying this place out. I ordered the BBQ ribs. The portion was huge but the meat was flavorless and dry. I contemplated not even taking the leftovers, but I figured my dog might enjoy it! My husband ordered the brisket. He was able to eat it once he covered it completely in BBQ sauce. The meat in both of our entrees was not smoked at all whatsoever. The only good thing about the entire dinner was the twice baked potato that I ordered. We won't be back! Staff was friendly but didn't check on us often enough. Drinks were left empty for quite some time. The hostesses didn't seem to know what was going on either! read more

Awesome Barbecue. Everything is fresh. Nothing frozen. Owner came to every table to make sure everything is up to par. Had the Brisket Dinner. Brisket fell apart under my fork. 16 hours of smoking made it one of the best I've ever had. Side of cheesy pigtails (Mac cheese) was homemade and real! and a side salad. Came with corn bread and local honey butter (the best!) My wife got the Pitt Mater salad with pulled chucked. Massive and tasty with the works, avocado and Wasabi dressing. Also craft beers for $4! We had Breckinridge Vanilla Porters! Great find. 5 stars we'll be back. read more
