    We were driving around the island exploring and came across this adorable BBQ joint. I told Bob that we had to come back and try it for sure to see if it could rival my fav BBQ spot in St. George Island. Sure enough we went back today and what are the odds it's fantastic my SGI spot definitely has some competition! I had a pulled pork sandwich with slaw and I had Bob get a Cuban sandwich (because he likes them and also because my eyes are always bigger than my stomach and I needed a bite or half lol.). We ended up splitting both sandwiches and both were 10/10 no notes! The bbq was delicious the pulled pork sandwich was messy just like it should be to get the ultimate enjoyment factor. The Cuban sandwich was so so good like I may have to go get another one before I leave town. My kiddo got the kids pulled pork sandwich on a slider bun with fries, a cutie and a drink which was the perfect portion for her she loved it!! The parking is horrendous but it's well worth it I sat with the car idling while Bob ran in luckily I was able to get a parking spot upfront. We have the pup with us so we took it to go so he could have some bites too! This place is definitely a winner and a must visit when on AMI.

    I can't stop thinking about this place, after returning from vacation. Everything we ordered was tasty, from the brisket burger to the Cuban sandwich, brussels sprouts and fries. Service was quick and friendly, we smiled taking a free sand dollar offered at checkout. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Perfect casual sandwich/burger spot with lots of seating/ menu options and good prices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sauces and aioli's were yummy too. Highly recommend!

    We loved this place! Delicious food all around! Parking is very limited, but was lucky to pull up to the one parking spot available. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have outdoor and indoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat inside and enjoyed the nice cool/chill environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When you walk in they have the menu written in chalk on the side. The staff were professional and fast with our food. My order was the brisket burger and loaded chips. This burger was delicious! For an additional $3 you can make it a double. The loaded chips were amazing too - these chips came with bleu cheese crumbles and garlic thyme aioli. My wife ordered the Korean Beef sandwich which was delicious, the perfect amount of ginger flavoring too! My son ordered the pulled pork sandwich and loved the smoq'n sauce, I wish I got an extra side of that smoq'n sauce because that was delicious! Lastly my other son ordered the kids grilled, bread was the perfect amount of crispiness and soft. The cheese was very good too! This restaurant was the perfect switch up from visiting seafood restaurants. Don't sleep on SMOQEHOUSE!

    Really enjoyed this place. Food was great and reasonably priced. also helps we could walk there in 2 mins from our condo and had BBQ for dinner on the beach!

    Had a late lunch/early dinner at Smoke House in Bradenton Beach after the beach, and it hit the spot. We ordered the pulled pork, chips (honestly some of the best), a brisket burger, and fries. Our son liked the burger so much he went back for another one. Everything was great and exactly what we were looking for after a day in the sun. Would definitely recommend! Service was great...very kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance - hey...you're next to the road but who cares when you have great food!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    When you need to switch up your seafood intake, head to SMOQEHOUSE. This place has great food. I really enjoyed the brisket burger and loaded chips! The combinations of everything were so good. I was happy to share my chips for some hot n crispy fries. Great sauces to dip those fries. The staff were really friendly and patient as we were first timers. You order at the counter and then they call your number when the food is ready. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Good music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Just an all around A+ experience. On my next AMI vacation, I'm trying that Korean Beef sandwich. (May2025)

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very good, small restaurant fronting Gulf Dr. Small eating area (indoor/outdoor). Outside seating can be a bit loud with traffic, but still nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Counter sale self-pickup. Employees all very friendly. Food was very good - creative offerings of smoked meats on sandwiches and interesting sides. Got the brisket burger, Islander sandwich, loaded chips, and the fried Brussel sprouts.

    An awesome recommendation from a friend. Stopped in for lunch after a beautiful day at the beach. Had the Korean beef barbecue sandwich with the homemade french fries. The Korean beef sandwich was bursting with flavor,it was Pure deliciousness. The fries were just as good. Fries are cooked in beef tallow, I don't want fries cooked any other way. Owners were friendly and accommodating. My mouth is watering just thinking about our next visit. Highly recommended

    I got the brisket burger and loaded chips. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and "piggy fries" special. We both loved our food and want to go back again before we head home from vacation! Highly recommend!

    Great little place. Food is always good what ever it is that you order. My favorite is the brisket burger. I always have to try the specials. Never disappointed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love the vibe inside and out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Landscape is beautiful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff is always very friendly and welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always look for to having a sitting down and having a great meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks Kubes family

    Korean Beef

    Fan-freaking-tastic. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stopped in after a day at the beach and the amazing smell hits you when you walk in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the Korean beef and everything about it was great. Messy but worth it. Staff was absolutely helpful and gave some suggestions. My ONLY issue is I wanted to try like 4 different things on the menu lol. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The building is very small and you might miss it driving by.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have tables outside but it was too hot in the amazing Florida sun.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will make it a POINT to come back here when I come back to Siesta Key. They also have daily specials on things as well as a ton of fantastic sides. I recommend coming w another person and each get something different and snack off each other.

    Amazing local spot in AMI! We stayed right by here and I went 2 days in a row. Appropriately priced and amazing bbq. Really liked the vibe and small inside. Very nice owners and staff. Would certainly return. Loaded chips were better than poutine Korean beef was better than cubano I wanted to try the whole menu!

    Brooke R.

    We walked by this restaurant and it always smelled so good that we knew we had to swing by for lunch one day. The patio has full sun even in the winter, making it the perfect spot for a quick bite. We split a burger and an order of fries, and were blown away by the bbq flavors. Definitely a local gem!

    Are there covid-19 restaurant rules that I'm misinterpreting I want to be fair and if I'm wrong I'll correct it?

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Yes. All menu sandwiches can be ordered sans the bun and served as a bowl on a bed of greens!

We even got to chat with Eddie the Pitmaster for a couple of minutes, he is the real deal. I love BBQ and to me, there is no such thing as bad BBQ. That said, this was super good. I tried their Beef Brisket Platter and part of their The Pig Mac. With Manny the humanoid pig looking on, we dove in. The brisket was flavorful, no sauce needed. There was plenty of fat and plenty of slices. For my two sides I tried their coleslaw, which was fine, and their cucumber salad. I'm a big flavor guy and love cucumber slices soaked in vinegar. After we had ordered our food another customer stopped by our table and praised their The Pig Mac so much, we added it to our order. What a great recommendation. It is a sandwich with a cheesy patty of mac n' cheese, pulled pork on the side. We even got another side and tried their potato salad made with both white and sweet potatoes. I liked the thinking outside the box potato salad. The pulled pork, like the brisket, stood very well on its own without sauce. The pork topping the cheesy patty just worked so well. We will be back.

BBQ sauce is on the table. The brisket was hot fresh and lean. For all of the ridiculous reviews stating it's fatty- hello! Brisket is a fatty cut. It was perfection!

A lot of the old staff came back, a great sign when we arrived. Tonight's menu felt very similar to pre-hurricane menu. We got two grouper dishes (pecan crusted and blackened over Parmesan pasta) and both were incredible. Added on shishito peppers, shrimp curry puffs, corn bread, and a very unique onion dish that I can best describe as a soup-less French onion soup. Service was excellent, and cocktails were good, if small. My only complaint was that the beer menu dropped off - they used to carry a nice variety on tap and local brews but mostly bland big-name beers now. I'll definitely be back again, glad to have it in the rotation of great local restaurants!

Drunk people dancing & filming themselves. Otherwise, outside would be nice. Table next to us was a group of 5 extremely intoxicated adults w/ a toddler. Unfortunately, food wasn't great - entrees $38-$49 for greasy potatoes, asparagus & a average sized piece of grouper covered in some sort of batter that seemed like a cracker... the entire time, you're thinking ...did this really cost $65 plus salads and drinks came to $195 for two adults -I'll stick to Shore LBK and Harry's moving forward.

We've been coming here for years, referred tons of people, and genuinely loved this place. Unfortunately, the food quality and service have seriously declined over the last few months. We ordered the Wicked queso(almost $14 now) and it came out ice cold. When we mentioned it politely, the server looked at us like we were stupid for bringing it up. No apology, no concern. It came back missing the guacamole and was still barely lukewarm. Then the fajitas arrived. The meat was unbelievably salty, like it had been dumped in salt, and the vegetables were completely burnt and charred beyond edible. What really made the experience worse was the attitude. Every issue we brought up was met with annoyance instead of customer service. Not once did we hear "sorry" or "how can we make this right?" It honestly felt like they couldn't wait for us to leave. It's disappointing watching a place we once loved go downhill like this, especially in such an amazing location. Hoping they turn things around, but if this keeps up, we're probably done coming back.
