I recommend The SmokeShack. They've been a staple in Fort Washington for nearly 30 years, and the…read moreflavor of their food has remained consistently delicious the entire time. While service quality has varied over the years and their hours have unfortunately been reduced to just a few days a week, the food continues to make it well worth the visit. The SmokeShack is primarily a carry-out spot with a few counter seats available for dining in. There's parking both onsite and on the street--just be sure not to park in front of the mailbox! The beef ribs and pork ribs are absolutely outstanding, and you really can't go wrong with any of their sides. #HappyEating

Hey friends! I worked a conference nearby and was craving a hearty Sunday meal. & I then remembered…read morethis hidden gem. Smokeshack is a Black-owned mom & pop shop that's been around forever! I ordered the fried shrimp dinner($18). All dinner entrees come with two sides: I chose Mac & baked beans. My order took about 15 minutes. I really enjoyed the fried shrimp, it was seasoned well and cooked to a perfect golden brown. The Mac and cheese was not my favorite, the texture was a little too loose for my liking. Also, the cheese blend was basic, it's missing the kick that sharp cheddar or mustard would bring. The baked beans were not my favorite either. They were too sweet, I could smell sweetness as soon as I opened the tub. The baked beans could use more of savory touch to balance the sweetness. I was disappointed that this visit was underwhelming as last visit have been better. -Customer service was good. -There's no dine-in. There are a few seats to wait for your order. -Parking is rough on busier days. There's a very small lot as well as street parking. -Prices are average about $20 per meal. I hope you enjoy!

I discovered this place on TikTok while searching for good food in Fort Washington. I was in the…read morearea after church on Easter, and many restaurants were closed, so I'm glad I came across it. From the outside and inside, the restaurant looks like a house. They have a seating area and a restroom available. They also sell Filipino snacks and other items, kind of like a bodega or corner store, which reminded me of places in New York. The food was great and the service was friendly and patient, especially since it was my first time. I ordered what I thought was a 1 item-entree, but it turned out to be a 3-entree meal. I swapped rice for pancit (a small upcharge), and also got beef, 3 chicken kebabs, and freshly made lumpia. Everything came out to about $30, and I still had leftovers, which was a great value. I'll definitely be coming back.

The price point is great too and the servings are generous. I highly recommend you give this place a try when in the area.

Solid 3.5 Reading of…read morethe review prior to mine had me concerned enough to not even want to try this place. Luckily, I looked at that review as an outlier and decided to try anyway based on many of the other favorable ones. Ordered the stuffed salmon. It comes with crab meat and a single shrimp sitting on top. Salmon was very smoky which was very nice. There was a tiny bit of shell in the crab meat and it was a tad dry (as was the fish). The dipping sauce had way too much apple cider vinegar. Food was otherwise seasoned very well. The order was prepared and delivered to me outside in around 5 min so I suspect the food was probably sitting for a bit under heat lamps. Next time I'll get here immediately after opening. Smoked red skinned garlic mashed potatoes was my side, along with sauteed cabbage. The mashed potatoes almost look like dressing due to all the seasonings. Everything was a little over $30. The area where this restaurant is located is strictly no-frills commercial industrial park. The kind of area where you typically see abundant auto repair shops and assorted trade commercial businesses, like glass install or tile. Nothing retail or sexy back there at all, and it's adjacent to Weingartner Chevrolet. The service also is (no-frills) friendly, grab and go after placing your order via their qsr menu. No place to sit because you aren't staying. The folks can cook so I would actually check it out again. They have interesting lamb entrees and some other stuff I'd like to try.
