I think they have great food and great service. Honestly the best place to go after the club or bar, you won't find better food that's for sure ! read more

Their hours are definitely not my favorite--they only open from 11:30 P.M. to 4:00 AM, which can be inconvenient if you're craving BBQ earlier in the day. Despite this, the food usually makes up for the limited schedule. I stopped visiting for a while when they started giving smaller portions of rib tips and began throwing in slices of bread with the meal. It just didn't feel worth it anymore. But recently, I had a craving and decided to give them another shot. I ordered the loaded cheesesteak fries, and I was glad I did. The combination of meat, bell peppers, onions, and melted cheese was absolutely delicious! Their jerk chicken is another standout dish--it's always packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Not too spicy at all. Even better, my husband and I were able to share the meal boxes for dinner and still had leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. The portions were generous this time around, and we both loved the flavors. Smoky Kitchen BBQ still has some of the best-tasting food in town when they get it right, and for that, I love it. read more

Smoky Kitchen BBQ - Loaded Philly Cheesesteak Fries, Jerk Chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

It's dad u already have to wait a hour and a half for pick up no matter if u pre order or not and if u order delivery might as well eat something before shit take 3 hours just to come LITERALLY and it's no sense of urgency on to-go delivery orders they will not even give u your food and say it's delivered and for it to be a legit business they don't even have contact information which is a major red flag I paid $40 last night for my food and still haven't received it yet it's 10:48 am can't reach nobody to communicate nothing terrible service read more

Everything I've tried is perfect. Great late night food. Other food trucks are in this area but this is my go to. read more

Smoky Kitchen BBQ - Crack Powdered Wings - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Really good food the whole menu,my favorites are the rib tips, million dollar spaghetti and wings

This place was a food truck outside of Grady hospital. It was late night and I don't want junk food completely so I went by. There is a mix of medical workers and reg people outside so you know that was colorful. I ordered Fried Fish and Shared the Rib Tips and Jerk Chicken w my boyfriend. The food ended up coming out so amazing. The macaroni and cheese was really good also. The wait was about 20 min because the do some type of Togo order system probably due to the hospital workers. But 10/10 read more

I ordered the sausage and the shrimp quesadilla. Food took a long long time to come out. I'm not gonna lie. I placed my order and didn't even find the food truck until I decided to go back home and then I got a text that said it was ready and then I found it next to Grady hospital. The sausage was really good and the shrimp quesadilla was just OK only because I didn't care for the type of cheese they used. It tastes more of a processed cheese like craft cheese and I don't particularly like that for a quesadilla. I prefer more of like a Mexican blend or even mozzarella, but I just didn't like the cheese so that messed up the whole experience for me and I feel like they could've chopped them shrimp a little bit bigger but you know I'm just being picky at that point overall food was hot and ready. It's late night so after riding around the city and not being able to find late night options this is pretty good. They came through if they're reliable. read more

I called at 12:18 to ask was they open and the man said yes. Once I arrived to the location that's on Apple Maps, he was nowhere to be found. This is a food truck right? I called again at 12:47 to which he forward my call. I even sent a text once I realized it was an iPhone asking where the location was. It said delivered but I got no response. I drove around for bout 10-15 more minutes and called about 4 more times and got no response. Typical Atlanta business. I try to support but nahh. And yes I'm mad cause I waited ALL DAYY for this. So no he gets no stars from me. read more

Great portion sizes and some really good BBQ you ll find at this truck. After a late night at a concert, we found them open on google. Like the variety on the menu, pretty much anything you're craving at the end of a good night. The rib tips are fire, super flavorful and tender. They go a little too hard with the black pepper on some of their items, so thats my only critique. But otherwise, the guys definitely put in work at this truck! read more

Everything I've had is 10/10. I just wish they did the broccoli casserole more often.

Cool food truck right outside of Grady Hospital! Food & service are great but the wait will be at least 20/30 min so I recommend you call your order in! read more

Smoky Kitchen BBQ - Rib tips Mac & cheese, baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Smoky Kitchen BBQ is hands down the greatest late-night BBQ I've ever had. With 3 guys, 2 smokers, 2 deep frying pots, and a truck, the operation seems to primarily serve workers in Grady Hospital, downtown emergency services, and local construction. They open around 11:30 PM each weekday with a whiteboard of food options, and they erase food options from the whiteboard as they run out of items until they close around 4 AM. Options for meats vary by day but include ribs, sausage, grilled and fried chicken (tenders, thighs and wings!), and fried seafood. The sides seem to run out faster: mac & cheese, million-dollar spaghetti, baked beans, and and more. They accept cash and card. I got a spicy sausage on a bun ($3) and pork rib tips ($8). The sausage was flavorful and legitimately spicy. I appreciate that they had tartar sauce as a condiment option! The pork rib tips came in a huge portion with 2 slices of white bread and an optional tomato-based BBQ sauce. While I couldn't detect any smoky flavor, the ribs were tender and flavorful. I was delighted to eat this on a windowsill. These guys are doing the noble task of feeding many medical workers in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. There are very few restaurants operating after midnight during this crisis, and these guys are drawing small crowds from across the street. As a certified night owl, I plan on biking over here often. Their only online presence seems to be their Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smokykitchenbbq/ read more

Went to grab a late night dinner. We were the 2nd people in line when they opened up.We waited almost an hour BUT the men were respectful and kind, never lost their cool as more and more people came. Food: THIS FOOD WAS GOOODDDD. We ordered the jerk chicken with dirty rice and shrimp philly cheese steak with mac n cheese.OMGGGGG forget the hour wait lol. The food was amazing. Biggest take away: ORDER ONLINE!!!!! People were just walking up picking up their orders...meanwhile like i said there was only 1 man in front of us who ordered 1 plate then us and we still had a LONG wait. Overall: SUPPORT THESE BROTHERS!!!!! Next time Im trying the lemonade. read more

Food is amazing! My fav is the beef sausage (served hot dog style with bun), Mac and cheese, Cajun chicken pasta, whole wings and their boneless grilled jerk chicken with their sauce. The blue tropical lemonade is tasty too. BE PREPARED FOR A WAIT whether you order in person or online. Not a fan of their quesadilla because they use chopped beef and chopped chicken for each one respectively. Their beef quesadilla tastes like a Philly cheesesteak and I'm not a fan of the type of tortilla they use. I also don't care for their fried shrimp. read more

Food was really good I look forward to coming back next time I'm in Atlanta!! It didn't take us long to get the food service was good!!

Oh man is that jerk chicken a kick in the pants. I got the jerk chicken with dirty rice from their food truck a little while ago. It was a bit of a wait since it was a busy night seemingly. I would probably have been annoyed if I was super hungry but that night it was definitely worth the wait! The chicken is tender, flavorful, just the right amount of spicy heat, and the sauces are awesome. Their dirty rice is excellent, too. It's a lot of food, so you will be satisfied! read more

This bbq is slapping! I had heard some good reviews on social media and find myself some what of a barbecue connoisseur. As a chef I never mastered smoking and bbq because it's a very different craft so I respect it so much more because it's not something I've yet mastered. Our pork sandwiches were so good. Ray the owner puts a little extra seasoning on it before he serves it up, it's got the perfect amount of smoke a gracious portion, and I got a couple of large sides macaroni and potato salad. Honestly the potato salad was too sweet for me personally but it wasn't bad and went really well with the spicy barbecue sauce on the sandwich and a spoon full of sweet potato salad was a match made in heaven. I will be back to try some more of Rays delicious food! read more

Burnt to hard to chew food was cold 2 hour wait never again I guess I didn't tip for premier service read more

I had the shrimp philly and it was excellent. I've been thinking about it ever since. I placed my order and waited about an hour to pick it up which was perfect timing. The guys at the window were very nice and working extremely hard at like 1am. I'll definitely be back the next time I have a late night craving. read more

So we were in the city and couldn't find anywhere to eat on a Thursday night after 1am... found this food truck on Yelp. The Philly Cheese sandwich with fries for two cost me only $25 and it so probably the best Philly I've ever had. Would def recommend. It was busssssinggggg and trust me I'm picky and a foodie. Worth it! read more
