It's a very nice place with a great wait staff and a cozy feel. But the problems are two-fold...first, the "smoke flavor" is completely missing and this is BAD when "Smokin" is the restaurant's first name. The meats have no smokey BBQ flavors whatsoever. Thank God for the extra sauces on the table.
Second is the price...I don't mind paying $22 for a full rack of ribs, but I was hoping for a big rack and/or large side portions. But instead, you'd get a small scoop of slaw, a bun, and a few slices of onions with a medium-size rack. After adding extra sides such as corn, sprouts, mac and cheese, our two-person dinner tab was close to $70. And that's drinking water only!
It's a tossup whether I'd recommend that you come here because I would need a great reason to go back again.
