A nice little place amongst a quiet neighborhood with an awesome outdoor seating area. We were…read moreseated right away and our server was very personable and truly appeared to enjoy her job. We ordered a two meat plate (brisket & jalapeño cheddar sausage) with two sides: loaded baked potato and bbq beans. Hubby is a bbq connoisseur and felt that the brisket was a bit overcooked, needed more rub but the cut and fat were on point. The sausage was tasty and the beans were out of this world. The potato was a good size filled with the works. The main downfall: the food needed to be hotter, it was barely warm. The cheese on the potato wasn't melted and the beans were literally cold. The pickled onions and pickles were a welcome addition along with the Texas toast. One pet peeve I have is observing cooks eating & drinking coke with their bare hands while serving up plates. This practice is okay at home but not in a restaurant. The Smoke Point BBQ is a charming establishment near Mission San Juan Bautista. It's a good little place to stop in for some homemade grub.

WOW, WOW!!! So, let me first say this place is not easy to find, is it worth the journey? My…read moreanswer...heck to the YES!!! This very unpretentious place is all about the food. The Owner, Martin is the nicest and funniest guy ever and a former Chef at Original Joe's in San Jose. Martin started us both with a FREE sample of the Cream of Broccoli soup which also contains meatballs and bow tie pasta. It was crazy delicious, and so flavorful with just a small hint of heat from the habanero that's in it. I have to tell you that was the " largest" and most generous sample of soup I have ever received!!! We absolutely found the tri-tip sandwich to be delicious to eat with the flaming hot Fritos, the bbq ribs were out of this world meaty and so well seasoned, and the same goes for the chicken and sausage. And a bbq potato? Thank you very much!!! Martin unknowingly discovered my potato passion. This is not only a fantastic place for bbq but a great stop for travelers looking for food, drinks, snacks and sweets. Thank you so much Martin for making our first time visit so memorable!!! You're a BBQ Top Chef!!!

The soup of the day was split pea, I've never had a better one! With chunks of ham and vegetables, it was the perfect amuse-bouche! Next comes the Tri-tip sandwich! Tender, juicy and full of flavor! Last but never least, the ribs! Tender, fall off the bone, smoky! We got the full rack for four of us, we each took home ribs for the family! We stopped here on our road trip and I suggest it to anyone looking for a lunch stop! Will be singing Martin's praise for years to come!

I chose cornbread, baked beans, and coleslaw. The burnt ends are by far my favorite! They were so flavorful and absolutely the most perfect texture. Not too much fat, but so much flavor! The ribs were also delicious. They weren't "fall off the bone", but not everyone likes that anyways. I thought they were amazing! The baked beans were fine, I was expecting them to be sweeter but now I know. Next time I'll get the potato salad. I got to try it and it was delicious and unique. The coleslaw was good and fresh, perfect crunch. It was a nice contrast in flavor with all the meat and barbecue sauce. The cornbread is not the sweet kind. Which is nice because you can put your own butter and honey on it to your liking. They have an awesome selection of beers in the fridge and some on tap as well. I will definitely be coming again, and soon!

Might be the best BBQ I've tasted. And I've been all over the states to Kansas City, North Carolina, Texas, Virginia, and Louisiana (where I may have ridden a mechanical bull.) I ordered the tri-tip sandwich ($19). It comes on house made garlic bread. The tri-tip was perfectly smoked and moist and the sweet Kansas City style sauce is perfect. The side of Mac and cheese with bacon and jalapeños was awesome: My wife got the three meat combo ($37) of sausage, tri-tip and chicken. Sausage was perfectly cooked and spicy and the chicken is moist and flavorful. Prices aren't cheap here. Ended up paying $90 with tax and tip and drinks for two but it was worth it. Their co-owner Nick who greeted us like old friends said they've been around for the past six years and here's hoping for another sixty. We'll be sure to be back for more our next trip down 101.
