Smoke On the Water

The good: Prices are reasonable for food and drinks, and the specialty drinks are really good. The bartender was awesome. BBQ sauce choices are really good. Not so good: It was just two of us. They said 25 min for a table, which turned into an hour wait. The smoked meats were clearly not fresh, both brisket and ribs were dry. My waiter forgot to bring our appetizers which literally never came so I had to ask to remove them from the bill. The cornbread is terrible.

We waited over an hour but once seated the waiter was prompt and friendly. They were packed!! My catfish was big, but lacked seasoning (my opinion). I thoroughly enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and pickled onions were amazing. My sister tried the brisket and was pleased! She said it was moist and had a nice flavor. For dessert I had the bourbon bread pudding. When I say YUMMY!! If I'm in the area again I'd give them a go, but if definitely arrive earlier.

Very nice spot for lunch or dinner. Service was on point and friendly. We stopped by for lunch on a Saturday afternoon in early July. We were seated right away. We got the smoked wings, the triple play sliders and the brisket sandwich. Everything was tasty. The only thing we didn’t like so much was the complimentary corn bread due to being overly flaky and not sweet enough. We definitely will go back next time we are in Downtown Greenville.
