Wings, brisket Mac, brisket parfait

Great bbq served in creative ways. Don't be fooled by the outside, worth the stop. Outdoor seating only

Menu

Great place with awesome food! Parking: Located off of the Jedburg exit, Parking wasn't an issue, but if there happened to be a full crowd then it could raise a concern. Service: The service was very good. It was our first time here and our server was patient with me. He gave the recommendation for the grande burrito which I ordered. Food: I attached the photo of the grande burrito and I can say that it was everything you could ask for. It was smoky, savory, sweet (drizzled with a sauce) and flavorful. I enjoyed everything single second of eating and would order it again! Ambiance: Ambiance is appealing, what I mean by that is the colors of the storage containers that make up the area which is bright vibrant colors. It is very welcoming and can catch your eye on the side of the road. I ate at home due to it being cold outside, but I wouldn't mind eating there. Opportunities: The one opportunity that I can think of is the size of the burrito. Based on the size of it, it's not something you could really hold by hand if that's what you're looking for. I'm not complaining about that in any way but if someone were to think they're eating it traditionally, they wouldn't be since I had to eat it with a fork and knife and that was the better option for me. Overall: I'll be back for sure! The food was great and the server was hospitable and answered the questions that I had. You have gained yourself a customer!

Pulled pork nachos

This place is a favorite among me and my coworkers. The container style restaurant is situated on a corner lot so parking can be a little weird, but not too complicated. They're only open Thursday-Sunday. There's no indoor seating, but they do have plenty of picnic tables and umbrellas. Smokin' Gringos is not your typical Mexican restaurant- it falls somewhere on the spectrum of Tex-mex. The owner and pit master is usually onsite and will bring the food to your table- which is a nice perk. I always enjoy the nachos with pulled pork. The serving on the nachos is more than enough to share or if you eat it alone you may need to wear your stretchy pants. In addition to nachos, they have burritos, burrito bowls, sandwiches, and ribs (only on Fridays). They also offer beer if you're looking to spice up your experience.

Catering

Ordered catering for 13 from the Gringo's. It was a 10/10 experience. Could not recommend them more. Book it!

We finally had the opportunity to go to Smokin' Gringos. They have a large menu. Their menu is not like other Mexican restaurants. They have a unique take on their burritos with several different barbecue sauces. The service was super fast & extremely helpful. They can also help with pairing sauces with your meat choices. The seating is outdoors with plenty of space. For the cooler nights, a small fire pit is also available.

Beef, chicken, pork tacos
Heather C.

The wings - mehhh. I've had way better! They were not tasty and they were not as tender as I would have liked them to be. The tacos - good. The burrito- also good. Would I return? Probably would try again. The bathroom- questionable! The saying is you can tell a lot about the way a restaurant's kitchen is by the cleanliness of the bathroom. And this is why I'm on the fence about returning.

Great food but the customer service was the best part. I came back to treat a friend on the way home and grab some takeout for my family as well. Amazing service and friendly accommodations from Primo and Danna - they are the best! (Like, LEGIT, the besssttt) Thank youuuuu!!!

Tacos
Karis M.

The food was ok. The service was fast and efficient. They had live music being played. I think I pick up on energy too quick so no.

Order here!!
Terry L.

This is a must try!! Very interesting layout and concept! We got ours to go but the service was great and the food was even better! I totally recommend the Burrito Bowl! It was fantastic!!

Delicious
Donte P.

This is hands down my favorite restaurant. The owner has tons of experience and you can taste it in the food. He has made a perfect mixture of BBQ and Mexican food to create a very unique and delicious taste. I absolutely love the ribs and wings. I also like the different dishes he creates for the weekend specials like Birria tacos, brisket quesadillas, tri-tip tacos. Everything I get is absolutely delicious. The customer service is amazing and the owner is always there and will proudly talk to you about his creations or anything that you want to talk about.

What a find! Visiting Charleston from Michigan and wanted some good southern food. This place…read moredelivered! Started with the bow wow shrimp appetizer. Fried shrimp itossed in hot honey and green onions. Amazing! For the main had to try mee maws meatloaf. What a great taste! The wait staff were on top of things. No waiting for a table, constantly checking on things, refilling drinks and fast service. Food came out quickly and well prepared! This place is a MUST STOP if in the area!

Hmmm. Not sure what to make of this place. I did just move here from New England and I like…read moresouthern food, but something about this place didn't do it for me... My husband and I came in for dinner and sat at the bar. We started with the cheese fritters & bacon jam. We initially thought the bacon jam was missing, but the fritters were great so we just kept eating them! When we got down to the last one, we both realized the "odd looking fritter" in the bowl that we were both avoiding, was the jam (oops!). It was a similar color and shape to the fritters but we both just laughed about avoiding it. For my entree, I was sold on the "award-winning" shrimp & grits that were featured on the Today show (as per their menu). Surprising that this meal made it that far as it didn't taste like anything special to me. It was not bad but very basic/plain; so basic that it felt like something was missing. It was the same case with my husband's meatloaf. However, I would still recommend checking this place out and deciding for yourself if you like it here ;)

Shelby & this place…read more.. Phenomenal. Absolutely Phenomenal! the recommendations - on point by Shelby. the insight - on point by Shelby!! the service - PHENOMENAL above and beyond and great timing and awareness of our table. the food? Unbelievably good. compliments to the chef!!!!! highly recommend this place for a nice night out or to get delicious food and enjoy a meal. great atmosphere! I don't write reviews unless its outstanding, it's not my thing. This place was outstanding. Had to write this review.

decided to try the ice house again after 2 years.....hated the food…read morethis is my last time here and will not be back ordered the shrimp dinner $24 with the size of shrimp that comes in Chinese food. the collards were spicy ( i was told they are not ) and the mash potatoes were SOOOOO buttery that i sent them back and refused to eat that amount of butter ..Bright yellow and slimy. the burger plate was supposed to be medium and came to the table cooked WELL. I will say the she crab soup was excellant... but we came for dinner and that was way far below standards considering the check came to $103.96 the soft shell crab for $29 only consisted of one and it was fried so so. we actually wanted it sauteed not fried.. and the check had a Hospitality charge besides the tax which together came to 13%......funny Matts burger 1 block away only charges sales tax...don't like being scammed bottom line..you would think eating the for second time would be better and not worse...think i just skip this HIGH PRICE BAR FOOD

Traveling for work and was looking for good New Orleans cooking, I found it here…read more I stopped for lunch, got hear right as the doors opened and the place was full by the time we got our drinks, good sign. Service was friendly and attentive, good atmosphere. The food only topped off the good first impression. For appetizers we got gator bites ( seasoning was so good they didn't even need sauce) second was the Andui and shrimp Mac & Cheese (amazing) I could have just eaten these and been satisfied. The shrimp and crayfish porboy was large and tasted so good, man the seasoning on the fries was so good. The batter on the fish was amazing as well. We left with food to spare and already planning on what we will get next time we're in town. And only 15min from the airport. Great job Lola!!

LOLA does crawfish boils on Tuesdays, and we went specifically for that. They offer a few different…read moreoptions--$17.99 for one pound, around the mid-$20s for two pounds (don't remember exact), and $39 for three pounds. The crawfish was cooked well and had great flavor. The only thing we noticed was they were a bit juicy--we think they may not have soaked in the boil as long, which usually helps absorb more flavor. My husband really enjoyed them (this trip was mostly for him!), but they were a little spicy for me. I ended up getting a Caesar salad with fried crawfish tails instead, and it was huge--I only made it through about half. We also got margaritas during happy hour--both were really good. I had the lychee margarita, and my husband got the mango with a Cajun rim. Service was very good--our waiter was attentive and friendly. The only small downside was that we did feel a little rushed. It does say on the menu that they ask guests not to stay longer than 1.5 hours, so just something to keep in mind. They are pet-friendly, and we sat outside. There was plenty of outdoor seating, and the tables had umbrellas, which was nice. The only other thing we weren't thrilled about was the credit card surcharge--it was around 3-3.5%, which feels a bit high, especially since most people don't carry cash anymore. Overall, a great spot--especially if you're a crawfish fan!

Parking lot for parking. Every server we have had so far has been very kind and attentive. Looking forward to more meals here.

We came here for lunch on a Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful experience. We're new to the area, and our server was very helpful in giving us information about Summerville and its surrounding neighborhoods. The food was excellent. Everyone's fish was cooked perfectly; flaky and delicious. It tasted fresh and like how all fish should taste. I loved every bite. I also liked that they served the tartar and cocktail sauces in squeeze bottles. We tried the Flounder Po Boy Sandwich, fried, the Grouper Bites, and a Scallop Po Boy Sandwich, grilled. Everything was so good, although I think getting those scallops blackened would have brought the sandwich up another level. Still, it tasted great. Usually, I'm not a fan of seasoned fries, but these were addictive. A charming little shack of a restaurant! We will surely be returning!
