| - Our first experience with smoke was a 3/5. My boyfriend and I ordered the coleslaw, which was average, the pork and ribs tacos, which were just far too dry to enjoy, and the queso, which is amazing.
The only reason we decided to go back a second time was for the delicious queso. We called in to get our name put on the list and they told us our table would we ready in a 75 minutes. We then downloaded the NoWait app which they suggested downloading after making our reservation, which told us how many parties were ahead of us. After about 45 minutes we received the text that our table was ready and if we did not arrive in 10 minutes our table would be given away, even though the app told us there were 7 parties still ahead of us! I promptly called the restaurant again to tell them there is no way we would get there in time as we live 15 minutes away. The person who answered the phone was quite rude and explained how they don't even use the app. I also told her that according to her time when we originally called in, we still had 30 more minutes to arrive.
Needless to say when we finally got there, which was well before her original 75 minute estimate, our table had been given away. Essentially, the only way to secure your table is to wait there the entire time because they have no way of estimating how long it will take. So if you want to waste and entire night waiting for your table, unable to wait at home, smoke is for you.
We had already driven all the way to the restaurant so we just put our name back on the list. We waited for another 35 minutes and finally got seated. We ordered the chicken and brisket tacos, broccolini and corn, and queso. The chicken taco was by far the worst taco I have ever had. After one bite my stomach was hurting from how spicy it was (so if you like really spicy maybe you will like this taco). I unfolded the taco and contents were some bland chicken in a bland avocado sauce, and a huge amount of hot sauce covering the entire thing. I tried to eat some of the chicken not covered by the sauce, but the chicken alone wasn't very appetizing. My boyfriend had a similar experience with the brisket taco. Although the brisket meat was good, the taco was difficult to enjoy because the only flavor that it contained was extreme spiciness. It seems that because the tacos don't really have any flavor, they try to add flavor by just putting on more hot sauce. If you like hot sauce, then I'm sure you would like their tacos. The broccolini and corn was good, and the queso was very yummy again.
Overall we will not return to Smoke because we do not wish to waste our whole night waiting in the restaurant to secure a table, the front desk staff was rude in dealing with the whole wait list system, and the taco are just really not good at all and leave your stomach hurting from how spicy it is.
