    Pulled chicken with cornbread
    Kate B.

    The food was fantastic, service was splendid. The four of us ate outside. At the table we had a burger, rack of ribs, mac n cheese and cornbread along with fries and onion rings. Definitely will be back. Very good quality barbecue.

    Guinness soup from Smokehouse.

    Smokehouse has become one of our favorite restaurants in Dunedin, FL. After moving here 4 years ago from Atlanta, it is has become our "Cheers". Great bar with multiple TVS's and huge outdoor area, the food is consistently good and service is friendly. They offer specials each week including new soups Matt the Executive Chef has created one of my all time favorites. This Guinness soup is nothing short of outstanding. From the first spoonful, you get a deep, rich flavor that clearly comes from a well-balanced, slow-simmered broth infused with the unmistakable malty depth of Guinness. It's hearty without being heavy, and every bite feels thoughtfully crafted.

    The fries and smoked turkey were so delicious from the Dunedin Smokehouse. Fun place to sit and watch some sports. Eating outside is also nice when the weather feels nice outside.

    Buffalo chicken sandwich with no bun and Sweet Potato Fries
    Avery L.

    Oh my gosh this was an amazing meal!! I am a huge sweet potato connoisseur and these were the best I have ever had. I got the grilled buffalo chicken sandwich with no bun and the Parmesan peppercorn ranch was delicious. The brussel sprouts were also really good. Sweet and garlicky with bleu cheese. My party also got the jalapeño corn bread and were literally licking the plate. Even for a Sunday lunch it wasn't busy and our food came out quick. Will definitely be back to try more!

    Chicken wings, jalapeno corn bread, Queso with beef all excellent!
    Mia K.

    Always excellent food! This place is popping all the time! Many times they have live music as well. Servers are great. Know they get busy but they are great! The restaurant is typically clean even on the busiest of days. I love the smoked chicken wings! So good. The jalapeno corn bread is amazing and so is the Mac and cheese! So so good! There is not one thing that I have eaten from here that was not top notch! Great place to go with a great vibe!

    Sausage
    Carey H.

    This place is on the super cute Main St of Dunedin. It was good but lacks a little flavor in the meat, for the ribs. Side dishes were normal and good but nothing amazing. The sausage was a great addition. I would go again when in the area. Service was great. Server stayed on top of drinks while we dined outside.

    The Porker Combo - brisket, ribs, pulled pork, beans, and potato salad
    Rhett B.

    After a 2 and half hour round of disc golf in Clearwater, I was looking for 2 things out of a BBQ joint in the region: fresh-brewed sweet tea and if they were open on a Tuesday. After some investigation, Dunedin Smokehouse was the winner and it was a terrific find in a neighborhood with many other restaurants. I sat myself at the bar and was greeted by the bartender. I asked if she had fresh-brewed sweet tea and it did not fail as I gulped down 4 glasses of this sweet liquid gold. I went with the Porker Combo which is the 3 meat combo. I chose pulled pork and ribs and brisket for a $1.50 upcharge. I went with potato salad and beans for my sides. The ribs were amazing as they were St. Louis style, sticky, and the best part...I had to eat them with a fork! The pulled pork was tender and almost as good as the ribs. The pulled pork came with some kind of relish. The brisket was tender and better than many briskets I have had. The beans and potato salad were both made in house. The beans had a tomatoey smoky flavor. I never had a potato salad like this one! It was chunky with some kind of creamy conglomeration. I thought it was celery in it but turned out it was bell pepper, which was acceptable. There were 2 sauces on the table - a sweet sauce and an ancho mild pepper sauce. They also have other sauces you will have to ask for - a thick South Carolina Mustard that is close to a honey Mustard, a spicy ancho, and a White Alabama which was my favorite of the bunch. I will eat here again and you should too!

    We really enjoyed this place! Particularly fun was seeing how much the staff really enjoy working there. The service was awesome, and the manager was very friendly. We got the brisket cheesesteak and pulled pork sandwich, and weren't disappointed. A must-try place if you're in Dunedin for a spell or even a quick lunch.

    Homemade Brisket Chili
    John H.

    We stopped in on a Saturday night and the only available table was on the patio, but that worked fine for us as it was a beautiful evening, and they had the heaters going, so it was great. Our server Adam, was there immediately, and we got in our drink orders. He came back quickly with those and we got in our food orders. The food came out quickly as well. I got the Brisket Sandwich - nicely smoke meat, with horseradish and a soft bun. I opted for the spicier sauce, and it came in a cup in my basket. The beans were also smoky, meaty, and tasty! My wife got the chili, which was pretty tasty. It wasn't a huge bowl, but was chunky with a bit of a zing. VERY dog friendly patio--many there the night we dined. Adam was fantastic-attentive, funny, and friendly. Solid good, great atmosphere, and fantastic service.

It has a pretty amazing bakery section when you walk through the back door to enter the restaurant. I was starving and picked the biggest thing on the menu which is the smokehouse platter and you get a ton of food with this platter (Brisket, pulled pork, quarter rack of ribs all served with coleslaw, Texas toast & side of fries.) I thought the price was absolutely amazing because you get all the food for $28.95. Needless to say as starved as I was, I couldn't even finish the whole meal. Our server was Scott and he was pretty amazing and he was training a new hire and I'm sorry but I can't remember her name but she was equally great and explained the menu really well. It's really a bonus that they stay open till 11 PM Thursday through Saturday. So anything you get that is from the BBQ...they bring out this 4 pack of house sauce. I tried each of them and all were great and had their own unique taste. Chipotle White, PD BBQ, Korean BBQ, Carolina BBQ. The Korean BBQ was definitely my favorite. The chipotle white is kind of almost like a mayonnaise in my opinion. The inside while definitely fresh and clean looking...it does have a sort of rustic, actual prohibition older type feel. Would absolutely come back when in town again. Great overall experience here

They do have a cute bar inside if you choose to stop for a drink. The ribs were the worst I have had in my entire life. In fact, before Prohibition, I didn't know ribs could be bad. It's either little meat or juice fall off the bone. The ribs at prohibition have NO meat and what meat exists is SO dried out that you can't get it off in order to eat it. They were completely inedible. The flavor is peppery but no meat comes off the bone. It's like a chew toy for a dog. The rosemary fries are ok. The chicken sandwich is dry and flavorless and the risotto shouldn't be called risotto. Gordon would have a lot to say about that risotto. But those ribs went straight into the garbage. What a huge waste of money. If I wasn't with a group of strangers I would have said something. So much effort was spent on the outside of the building and none on hiring people who can actually cook. I walked out with a $50 tab and still hungry. Major disappointment. I cannot recommend Prohibition Dunedin unless it's only for a drink.

We waited a good 10 minutes before she came over to take our drink order so when she did finally come back, we ordered all of our food together and after about 40 minutes I was like hey are we going to get an appetizer and then of course, five minutes later they bring all of our food and then for some reason we ordered dessert 30 minutes later we got it. It took us over two hours and it wasn't even that busy but like I said if the music hadn't been so good, we'd probably left.

We tried three of their house sauces, Texas hot, Kansas City sweet, and the Carolina mustard based sauce. All were very good; but, we used them sparingly to let the flavor of the meat come through.
