Smokey G's Smokehouse

"This is amazing" was literally the statement. Words won't completely describe what you're about to encounter. Let me just list what we had: ribs(bones), rib tips, pulled pork, salmon, mac n cheese, cole slaw, baked beans, potato salad AND the strawberry lemonade ???????? Lastly, do yourself a favor and read the signs... This day there was a sign for a chefs platter which was for the win.

We went in the summer during gospel Sundays at Robert C Valade Park so we went to try out Smokey’s G smokehouse. It’s black owned and it has outdoor seating looking towards River front. The scenery was beautiful and the colorful seating arrangements and playhouses for the kids reminded me of the Caribbean! It was a pop up shop with vendors and a DJ spinning some of the holiest gospel music. Jesus can work it out had me reminiscing. We tried everything that was available on the menu. The portions were small and lightly seasoned for my taste. The grits were very watery. The line to order was long but the best part it was a bar in the pavilion. Their drinks were good and reasonable. Come out and see what the city doing!

Smokey G's pulled pork was excellent. It was moist and my perfect level of smoke. The ribs were awesome too. The finish left me curious how it was going to taste because they didn't have a bark on them, they looked like something coming out of a sous vide but they tasted fantastic. The Mac and cheese was so-so, not bad but missing something. The coleslaw was really good and had a bit of spice to them. The BBQ sauce was on point, sweet and spicy. I was super disappointed that they didn't have any brisket, but I'm confident they will satisfy.
