Best BBQ in the area. Great pulled pork, brisket, ribs and chicken. They smoke onsite and follow the Kansas City method of smoking. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We purchased 4 platters that we shared. You receive three sides per order and we enjoyed fried okra, fried pickles, coleslaw, beans and mac and cheese. The space is tight... More

We stayed next door at the Hilton and didn't want to venture far for dinner. The staff was very friendly. She explained all of the options and offered to answer any questions. We agreed on the sampler platter. When the food arrived I couldn't believe how much we had. The ribs fell off the bone. Amazing! The wide variety of... More

We tried a "sampler" plate with a variety of meats, sauces and sides. The baby back ribs were our favorites. The Brisket was fine. We asked for and received moist rather than dry. The pulled pork with the Georgia style, vinegar based sauce was easily our favorite...although folks used to sugary sweet tomato sauces to slather on their Q will... More

Expensive for the small amount of food you get. BBQ is OK; we make better at home. Won't be visiting again. They have many sauces you can try which is fun.

We visit this restaurant 4-6 times a year and I can't say enough good about it. They have authentic smoked on site meats and freshly made side dishes. They make all their own BBQ sauces which are all flavorful and different. Their chicken is wonderful and their burgers are out of this world. I've probably tried 10 different things on... More

Casual restaurant with yummy smoked meats. I liked that the sauces are served at a separate bar so you can choose which sauce and how much to put on. Very yummy.

I ordered a 3 meat plate with St. Louis ribs, chopped brisket and a quarter chicken. All were very very good, My favorite was the chopped brisket, I could eat that everyday. I will be back.

WAAAAYYYY better than anything else I've ever eaten. He caters too. He can bring the magic to your house. WHO... More

We were at Antelope Island with my daughter and son-in-law and asked "Santa Claus" about local eateries. He recommended Holy Smoke, saying he drives 11 miles to eat there. We tried it out and were not disappointed. Had the ribs, pulled pork and brisket and they were all very good. Meat was fall of the bone tender. Sides were okay.... More
