Excellent salads! The everything salad had edamame, fresh greens, grilled chicken, candied pecans, and a homemade vinaigrette. My friend was able to order the chicken tender salad and asked for buffalo chicken instead of plain chicken and they kindly obliged . The nachos come out in a huge coffee can that they turn over and dump out and everything is perfectly evenly distributed so that the bottom nachos are not naked and all the toppings on the top. Excellent service and fair price and we loved it that we got to sit outside in the sun under an umbrella on the patio. read more

The staff made up for the kitchens woes this evening - I ordered the BBQ platter and as they were plating my food, I was told they ran out of ribs. (6 PM on a Saturday... disappointing) I was offered a replacement of more pulled pork or corned beef. I wasn't initially offered something else on menu, however when the manager approached after hearing of the situation, she offered me something else off the menu. I chose the Italian beef, it was a 6/10, but I was half full from snacking on my mother's meal so I wasn't bothered. The BBQ platter was comped and we were given a warm cookie with ice cream as a "sorry". Well done, staff! I will be back to try the ribs next time! read more

Have been twice. Favorites were the Mac and cheese and lasagna. Cute atmosphere and nice staff. read more

First time at Smokey's on Saturday, 29 April. What a wonderful meal! I had the items in the pictures. Husband had a Rueben sandwich that he declared the best he had ever tasted. Smokey's is a renovated building on Main Street in the little town of Lapel, Indiana. On street parking is free. The main dining area is one level making it accessible. There is a lovely walled courtyard for dining in good weather and an outdoor stage. Prices are on point for quality. This place is a hidden gem. read more

We stopped by in between youth sports. What a meal?! I had one if the best reubens I have ever had! My friend had a great Italian beef sandwiches. The service was friendly and sitting outdoors on a beautiful day was great! The chef came out and talked to us about the establishment. He was so friendly and engaging. This place knows food and I can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu. read more

This restaurant is located in the heart of Lapel. It has a decent sized dining room, a full bar with seating, and a very nice outdoor patio/courtyard area. You will find televisions over the bar and in the dining area. There is free street parking on the street in front of the restaurant. There is a garage door that they can open up in the front of the restaurant and there is a roll up window that opens up the dining area to the patio. They have a full menu that consists of burgers, barbecue, pizza, salads, chicken, and tenderloins, along with some savory sides. The restaurant also has a savory drink menu with signature cocktails and beers. The restaurant has daily food and drink specials, so check with your server to see what the flavor of the day is. I got their special for the day, which was a burger with pulled pork and slaw, yummmm. It came with fries and I got an additional side of baked beans. It took about 15 or 20 minutes for me to get my food.The staff was so apologetic. The bar tender/server was so attentive, friendly and helpful. My food was delicious. The burger was so tasty and packed with flavor. I made a good choice, if I do say so myself. The fries and beans were equally delicious. This is a nice small town joint with a friendly, top notch staff and a wide range of delicious food. I throughly enjoyed my meal and highly recommend checking this place out. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. read more

Somky's Concession is part of the Foxgardin group and named after the owners dad who had an auction house with a concession stand in this building years ago. It has a great garden/patio area that often has live music in the warmer months. The building with exposed brick and original floors is very charming. It has unique decor that is similar to other Foxgardin restaurants. Order barbecue; pulled pork, ribs, pulled pork nachos. All delish. Well know for the fried chicken and you cant go wring with their collard greens, cornbread and Smokeys fries! The service is friendly and helpful. They do a great job with getting the food out fast. Especially considering the distance from the kitchen. ALWAYS get pie for dessert at any of the Foxgardin restaurants. They are made with love! By Jane, the chefs mother. Great place for a great meal in a small town! read more

Heard through the grapevine about their blood mary special on the weekends. It was amazing. The waitress asked if I wanted it spicy l. I said a little but definitely could have stood more heat. Will try a hot one next time. All of the snacks on the drink were good, fresh. Fries were good too. No complaints. We went at 11 and it wasn't crowded at all. We parked right in front but it did look like there was only street parking. I can't advise if there was a dedicated lot or not since we didn't have to hunt for a spot and got front row parking. read more

We hit Smoky's promptly at 11:00 on a Saturday. They we just unlocking the doors, but welcomed us eagerly and set out two fine screwdrivers to start the morning. The menu is varied, but not overwhelming, I went with the special, a barbecued/smoked chicken quesadilla while my friend went with the reuben. The place was clean, super organized. All beer labels facing the right way, glasses lined up label out. You could tell the folks here care. We decided to switch out the screwdrivers for greyhounds (vodka and grapefruit juice) and our server/bartender Ashley delivered with perfection. I prefer a greyhound when available...just more tart with the vodka in my opinion. Ashley then delivered the food. Excellent in every aspect. I added green olives to my quesadilla and they were the chef's kiss. Overall fantastic experience all before noon in Lapel. I'll be back with the wife next time. Keep it up Smoky's. read more

Always get good service for lunch here! Had been months since our last visit and they had added a few items to the menu. We tried one from the brunch menu and one from the regular menu. The breakfast pizza off the brunch menu was good. However, I would not order the stirfry again as it was not a true stirfry and actually had a mayonnaise sauce drizzled over the top. It was mostly a bowl of rice with small added chunks of meat and scrambled eggs. The only vegetables present were about a tablespoon of red peppers and a few pieces of cooked onion, and some green onion slices for garnish. It was well presented and I wanted to like it. Sadly, I could not finish it. The mayonnaise on top of the rice and the absence of vegetables just wasn't to my taste as a stirfry. Had it been labeled as a rice bowl, I think that would be appropriate although I would not have ordered it. If I decide to try it again, I would have them leave the mayonnaise off the top and substitute teriyaki or soy sauce. It would have been much better that way. Our sweet waitress did offer to go and add teriyaki to it, but we were in a hurry and I did not want it to have to be completely remade. Adding teriyaki to the top of it would not have improved it being mixed with the mayonnaise. read more

I'm very impressed with the food quality at smokeys. We ordered the pulled pork loaded fries, fried chicken sandwich, and half rack of ribs. The pulled pork fried came out and it's a large sharable portion. The pork was soft and delicious and the fries and toppings were all delicious. The chicken sandwich was very good and The toppings were fresh. The pork ribs were smokey and super tender, no complaints! We will definitely be back to try the other offerings here, and highly recommend visiting! P. S. Alot of the photos on yelp are specials and aren't available on the regular menu. read more

First visit to location. Created at door by a young man who seated us at a comfortable table. Server arrived name Ann. She was pleasant and friendly. She explained the menu and the specials. We ordered a wide variety of items. All were made to order, tasty and hot. I had the pulled pork sandwich and Mac n cheese. Wife had Rueben and seasoned fries Mom and sister had the sample platter. No complaints from anyone. Server Ann heard it was my sister Birthday and they gave her a cookie / ice cream desert that was very good and unexpected. Look forward to are next visit. read more

For a brand new restaurant they have it right. Service was excellent and so was the food! We got the pizza. It was delightful. Fresh and the sizing was perfect. Probably the best thing about it was that the crust was Crisp all the way to the center. We like a nice thin crust and this one was just right and it held it's weight! And of course the beer was good too. Will be back for lunch another day. Looking forward to trying the outside patio on a nice sunny day! read more

Service is sketchy and food is health hazard. Location is amazing , interior is spacious and outdoor seating is incredibly large with live performances. But its a waste of space and effort because service and food are horrendous. Fried chicken was burnt from outside and cold from inside and tasted like uncooked. It seemed like they took frozen chicken ,re bread them and threw in deep fryer. Nothing much to say. read more

Our friends gave a resounding testimonial for the fried chicken at Smokey's and I'll add to it. There is a wonderful enclosed patio with a band stand at one end. We were seated in the shadow of the brick wall to keep the heat off. You get a lot of bang for the buck here I ordered the half chicken for nine dollars and my wife ordered three chicken fingers which were almost half breasts. The chickens were nice and crispy on the outside and moist on the inside and I called the chef a genius because they served Sriracha honey with the chicken. Food was five stars and the service was four read more

I do not usually give a 5 star..ever. Jake Burgess wins again. He took a failing venue and turned it around. We were greeted graciously and seated. Amy was our server and she was amazing. We asked for beer options because they were not on the menu. She knew all of them. I asked for recommendations for ordering and she gave us a ton. LOVE that!! Usually its two at the most. She based her opinion on what she liked and why. We did a sampler and a pizza. Our grand daughter and guest ordered burgers. I am a pizza snob. I am from Chicago. It was really good for Indiana. The corn meal on the bottom was a great touch. We got the spicy garlic wing sauce on the wings. It was OK.. Needed more kick. Ranch was great. Blue cheese tasted like the ranch with blue cheese crumbles on top. Overall, we will go back. The food was great..Amy was amazing.... Ask for her if you go!! read more

Stopped in on a Saturday night after a school event. Ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs, smokey fries and green beans. The ribs were very tender and juicy. A bit too much bbq sauce for my taste but still very good. The fries were yummy and the sauce was a nice surprise. The green beans were a bit waxy. Wife ordered the pork nachos and said they were very good. Large enough for a meal. The only disappointment was the pie. The peanut butter chocolate chip pie was a bit basic. The cherry pie wasn't fresh. Not sure it was baked that day. Overall, I would come back to try other options. The table next to us ordered fried chicken and it smelled really good. read more

We loved the food! Took my husband for Father's Day. The kids loved it, he loved it and I did too. Gluten free pizza for my daughter who has celiac disease, A smash burger for my unadventurous son. The BBQ Platter for the hubby and I tried the fried chicken. It was all great and our server, Grace was the nicest gal! You have gotta try this hidden gem! Don't forget the craft cocktails! read more

Went by here for a quick lunch today as I was in town passing through on business based on Yelp. and waited on us and gave us great service and we really like the atmosphere.

Great food and atmosphere. Excellent place for casual family dining as well as date night.

We love eating at Smoky's Concession Stand. They offer a nice menu with daily specials. Emily has always been our server. She does a great job and knows the menu well.

We surprisingly ended up being here for their opening night after the soft openings. We were shocked! We see alot of potential! The location is VERY small. In the warmer months the size will double. When in the bar do NOT lean against the pipe separaters!!! The food was great! I was afraid it would be smoky inside based on the name bit that was not the case at all. Everything smelled wonderful even for me who does not like the smoky smell. Unfortunately it became very, very loud after an extremely short time!! We wanted to leave because it was so loud. They need more POS systems because the wait staff were waiting for others to finish up before they could input more orders. The lone POS System was right behind me as were the servers waiting for their turn. We, as a group, like the coleslaw but think it needs some sweetener. The salad was weird with the green beans and edamame included but great overall. I did have to change the cheese because of an allergy to bleu cheese. The wings were absolutely delicious!! The special was a catfish sandwich which was very flavorful and flaky. We look forward to coming back when the weather is warmer. read more

I had the loaded fries, they were great! The outdoor seating was unexpected and nice, and the locals seem pretty happy with this sandwich & pizza spot, so there was a happy crowd there for lunch, when the server found out we were first timers she brought us a great complimentary dessert. read more

The waitress was super nice and polite. However there was the manager or someone sitting discussing the schedules loudly with other employees. We ordered an appetizer and planned on splitting a pizza but after we ordered the appetizer we were told the pizza machine was down (not their fault but would have been nice to know when we got there) so we each ordered a sandwich. I won't discredit how good the smash burger was but I truly feel like it was over priced when it didn't come with any sides. Overall, I think the food is good but a little pricey for what you get. I did have a Georgia mule and it was delicious. read more

We enjoy going to Smokey's Concession Stand. We love their bbq and their fries are delicious. They offer specials which are also very good. Honestly, we have never had a bad meal there. It is a little drive for us to get there, but worth it for sure! It is a quaint building with an outdoor patio. It can sometimes get pretty loud when the restaurant is full. read more

This was our first time to eat here as we're visiting friends who live in the area. Food was sub par as the people who ordered ribs said they weren't very hot (temperature wise). It appeared at first as though they weren't sure who was going to wait on our table; so a guy took our drink order and finally a girl came over to take the food order. Noise level was ridiculously high due to a table that appeared to have individuals that were a little intoxicated. Finally they were removed from the establishment after a woman told them that they needed to get them under control. They were definitely being over served by their waitress with shots. I'm sure they were locals; however, it was not an enjoyable experience for any of us. Their server should have cut them off or asked the manager for assistance. When visiting the area we probably won't be back. read more

The food was good. We had the chicken tenders with mac and cheese, cornbread, and the calzone. The calzone isn't traditional, it's a sandwich. It was still good but it did come out looking different than I expected. They should rename it a calzone sandwich on the menu to make it more obvious. The service was okay. The waitress did forget our app but we got lucky and she asked again. She did catch a mess up from the kitchen staff and offered to quickly fix it. Ambiance was bad for us, good for others. They had an open mic night. Makes sense for certain people, we had a little one with us and it made her cry. We left early. I have no issue with the open mic and happy that they have it, just wish they would have warned us before seating. We ended up leaving a early as we didn't want the music to hurt the little one's ears. I will say even with some of the negatives that we experienced, the overall experience was pretty good and it's nice seeing better restaurants across many small towns in Indiana. read more

Stopped in randomly and had the smash burger which was delicious! Ann helped me out and was super sweet, went above and beyond to get me a cup of tea (just had my wisdom teeth removed so I'm a little grump). She made the experience very nice!
