From the outside this looks uninspiring but the food is excellent. The shack only has 6 tables but we had no problem getting a seat as it was late in the season. I had the pulled pork and my husband had the rack of ribs and we loved both of them. It's a pity the service is quite slow as... more

We had lunch at the Smoke Shack in mid-July..It is a small restaurant located in an old train car..very unique. We love to try local favorites with unique settings and food, and this fit the bill... Since it was so small, we had to wait 30 minutes or so outside for a table. But it is located right next to... more

We loved the chef's and waitress' hospitality and smile. They food was awesome, especially the pulled pork sandwich. Big portion and good price. They ran out of their apple pie and we had their DUI chocolate cake and it was very good. This is one food place you should definitely go when you are at Seward. more

I had the conductors burger and my wife had the burrito and it was really great. The portion size was good, and the prices were quite reasonable. It was pretty cool eating inside a train car and although there are only about 8 booths it was constantly full and just a short wait. The waitress was friendly and it appears... more

We visted the Smoke Shack twice during our stay in Seward, I liked the pulled pork BBQ so much that I had to have it a second time. They make it plain so that you can choose which type of sauce you want to put on it. I chose the Carolina sauce which was amazing. Having lived in eastern north... more

We stumbled upon The Smoke Shack for dinner one night while in Seward. It is located in "The Train Wreck" in the harbor area north of downtown Seward. The entire restaurant includes 6 tables, bathrooms, and the kitchen all packed into one old train car! It is definitely a unique place with an extensive menu of smoked items. They also... more

Ok, so it is a train car. And it is a dive... but damn is the food good! We both had pulled pork. I had the spicy and my husband had the "normal" pulled pork. They bring out three sauces to add to your sandwich. I had the jalepeno and it was great. The restaurant holds about 20 people at... more

The breakfast was awesome!!! There were 6 of us and it took some time to get in since there's not a lot of tables, but it was worth the wait. The portions were huge and we were full until dinner. Incredible little find! more

The best thing about this place is the Giant Portion sizes. The food is mostly homemade which is a plus, but it is also very, very greasy. Especially the breakfasts. The BBQ is just OK, but then again I'm kind of a BBQ purist. It's all about the meat and not the sauce and the meat is just OK. I... more
