    Tater tots w Alabama white BBQ sauce
    Katie P.

    I finally got to try Smokin Pete's! Delicious BBQ with a wide variety of sauces. Clean and comfortable inside with fun decorations. Versatile and expansive outdoor area. The service was very friendly and fast (around 2pm on a weekday), although I have heard there can be a wait if you go at a busy time. Brisket and ribs were falling apart, the beans were pretty good, the broccoli salad was perfect to lighten up the meal. We also got tots on the side and the bartender recommended Alabama white bbq sauce to go with them - the combo did not disappoint! I had a bourbon drink as well which was delicious and, in my opinion, similarly priced to other alcoholic beverages in the area. I hope to go back very soon!

    Smokin' Pete's is a great spot for American BBQ, and our European guests really enjoyed it. It's a bit pricey, and I wish the portions were a bit larger. In hindsight, it would've been smarter (and probably a better value) for our group to order one of the larger platters to share, rather than getting several small combos. You order food at the counter and drinks at the bar. Plenty of seats indoors. We ordered the Kashong Cowboy Smash Burger ($22), Chopped Brisket Sandwich ($18), and the 2-Meat Combo Plate ($25), which includes two sides and cornbread. We picked sliced brisket, pulled pork, tater tots, and campfire beans. The brisket was the best! Super tender, flavorful, and had that melt-in-your-mouth quality. The campfire beans were also a hit. But I love BBQ beans. Pulled pork was also solid. The cornbread was fine but a little too plain; it could use more butter or moisture. The tater tots were too crunchy (dry). We ordered a 1/4 lb of turkey since there's no kid's menu and that was devoured easily. All meats are available by weight (¼ lb, 1/2 lb, etc.), if you want to order it this way. They offer a few different condiments (OG BBQ, Hot BBQ, Honey Mustard BBQ, and Ketchup), but the OG BBQ was the only one I liked. The honey mustard BBQ was too heavy on the mustard and didn't balance well. The vibe inside is awesome. Big Bills fan energy, with dollar bills hanging from the ceiling and tons of football memorabilia throughout the space. It's got a lot of character and makes for a fun, casual dining experience.

    The food at Smokin' Pete's was fantastic! We came right at dinner time, around 5:30, and the line was long. We waited about 15 minutes to order. After we ordered, we got a table right away. The place was packed but it was a nice night so there were tables inside and tables outside around fire pits and fire tables. The ambience was awesome. Their tap list was great too. I always appreciate a tap list with local beers. Sauces and drinks were self serve so we were able to wash down the spicy sauce with as much soda as possible. It wasn't cheap but prices were average for barbecued meats. We will definitely return!

    Where has this place all my life? We were on a drive and took a different route. Driving past this cute joint, we decided to make a u-turn and so glad we did. You walk in the place and the BBQ smell wafts right through your brains, enticing as hell. Making it our go-to BBQ! Very important too - great, kind service! Laid back spot where you can sit outside, even with your dog. We will make this a new regular!!

    This was our fourth trip to the establishment. So after four times trying this BBQ spot, I can safely say... it's great! The atmosphere is chill with a bar type feel. The service is pretty decent considering how busy they are, and the food is pretty good! I have had BBQ from Terry Blacks in Austin, this is definitely a close second. The brisket is consistently delicious, the sides are tasty, the appetizers are great (get the tots with brisket). If you're looking for Texas BBQ in NY... run here, don't walk.... Run!

    Prompt service and adorable BarBQ decor, from cute cowhide booth seating to a bar made of Pennie's. They also have Picnic seating in the back of the building. I had the maple bourbon bacon wings and they were deliciously perfect. They were very satisfying and so I saved the Portabella Swiss burger and smoked Gouda Mac n Cheese. They were equally delicious the next day. My friend enjoyed her two meat plate filled with chicken, ribs, beans and the salted potatoes.

    Was there on Saturday afternoon because friends asked us to join them. It wasn't very welcoming but I gave it the stars because the wings were good. Tots were bland even though they said they were seasoned. Could have used some more carrot and celery sticks. It was a one time visit for me.

    3 meat combo: brisket, pulled pork, and spare ribs with cornbread, kale coleslaw, and macaroni salad

    According to my foreigner friend, "This place has completed my authentic American experience." This was the best BBQ ever. We ordered the 3 meats combo: brisket, spare ribs, and pulled pork. We were extremely impressed with how juicy, flavorful, and tender the meats were. We loooved the cornbread and kale coleslaw. Again, both were the best we've ever had!! We were blown away. We were bummed that the dessert pies were sold out, even before 7pm! The staff is super friendly, recommended us different beers, and the atmosphere is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. It's a good place for small or big groups of people. Though it's far from where we live, we would definitely come back again.

    Meats were off the charts good. Tots were steller, good beans. Coleslaw and cornbread were bland. It's an order and serve yourself place with a large bar.

    We were staying on the lake for a week during the summer and we found smoke peas. Great food! Went inside to order takeout in the weight was not very long. Staff was nice when we went to the counter. Great place if you're looking for ambience as well!

    Maple Bourbon BBQ wings
    Deena J.

    Great vibes and great wings! These wings came off the bone nicely and weren't stringy. I'm not a big wing person but these flew me away. Great restaurant design of ordering when you come in and picking your food up at the window when the buzzer rings.

    Maple old fashioned

    For being so far from bbq country this place is amazing. Brisket is perfect and the turkey is amazing. Drinks are great. Service was excellent . Cool vibes and good atmosphere .

    After reading highly rated reviews on Yelp, I decided Uncle Joe's would be a great local spot for…read moredinner during our Friday night in Ithaca. Many restaurants in town had long waits, so I was pleasantly surprised when we were able to walk right in... until I realized the place was nearly empty. There were two men playing pool and a couple of people sitting at the bar, and everyone seemed surprised to see us walk through the door. Our server was friendly and told us to sit anywhere. When I asked why it was so quiet, she explained it was the slow season. We looked over the menus and tried ordering chips and guacamole--only to learn they were out of guacamole. Next, we tried mozzarella sticks--also unavailable. As we looked for a third option, my son asked if their chicken wings used a dry rub. The server said she'd check with the cook... and went over to ask one of the guys playing pool. She returned to tell us he was not only the cook but also "a very good pool player." We then noticed no one in the restaurant had food in front of them, the air had a dingy smell, and the whole atmosphere felt off. At that point, we decided not to stay. Back in the car, I checked Yelp again and realized most of the glowing reviews were from five years ago. This might have been a great spot in the past, but based on our experience, it seems it's no longer the vibrant local hangout it once was. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it.

    Had every single football game on Sunday. Food was decent, greasy bartenders and service. Go Bills.read more

Everything was clean and maintained well. Our server came over and took our drink order. The drinks came out quickly. My 7&7 was strong and hit the spot.

Mac & cheese ohh so yummy and such a huge portion, and it was only a side portion. The wings..... the best I've had in such a long time. Perfectly cooked. Generous and flavorful sauce. Bleu cheese, house made, equally as good as everything else. Everything was good and a fair price. We left happy, and full.

    What can I say? We tried Mooney's because we heard about their famous mac and cheese, and…read morehonestly...the hype is well earned. We ordered the Rodeo Mac and Cheese and the Bacon Chicken Ranch Mac and Cheese (both in the whole size--think 5-6 cups each!), plus the Rodeo Burger, which comes topped with BBQ pulled pork and crispy onion straws. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS, and even with our family of five, we still had leftovers. So. Much. Food. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We ate downstairs, though there's a bar upstairs if that's more your vibe. Our waitress was super friendly and even tried to warn us that one whole mac would be plenty--but we wanted to try both flavors, so next-day leftovers were just part of the plan. Pricing felt very reasonable for the giant portions and the quality. Mooney's is one of those restaurants that knows exactly what it does well--and does it really well. We'd definitely come back!
