APPETIZERS
We arrived as Smoky's and were really interested to try the food since I have been smoking meat for about 4 years now and I know my smoked meats. We got the sweet potato fries which were totally fresh and just cut. The fried okra was out of this world! I have high standards and can normally tell when things are frozen and not fresh. This was not frozen and freshly made. I asked for some of the queso cheese on the side and it was also very tasty and not from a can. It was more of a beer based cheese dip but very flavorful. And also got the BBQ salad to balance out the meal. Really cool display and for only $7 it was awesome! And the V and O slaw was the best! Thank you for not having a slaw with NO mayo!
NOW TO THE MEAT!
We tried a platter that had 4 or 5 smoked meats on it for $31 and included 2 sides and the corn muffins. Every single piece of meat was fresh and out of this world. And you didn't have to worry about paying extra for sauces(like you do at Black Dog). It was in bottles next to your table. We especially liked the Mango Chipotle and the Mostly Mustard. You could sample all of them and put as much as you wanted on the meat. And then the waitress was so kind to bring us cups to fill up the sauce for our leftovers. And we now have leftovers for at least 2 more meals for the both of us.
THE SERVICE!
The waitress was fast and very friendly! She went above and beyond to help us out and was so easy going. We left her a nice tip! She seemed to be handling most of the orders herself and had a happy I am working here feeling. The manager or maybe cook came out after to ask us how we liked our meal. And not in an intrusive or robotic way that a lot of the chain restaurant managers come to ask about your meal. He was genuine and really cared about how the meal was for us. We walked out and both were blown away in everything we ate and the service.
