Smok-shak Bbq - CHEROKEE

The food is decent; it's certainly a good option if you're looking to satisfy your hunger.

The restaurant is declining rapidly. I won't be dining here anymore, even though I grew up enjoying it. It used to be one of my favorites, but now the food is so poor that you wouldn't even recognize it as the same establishment.

The staff is very friendly, and the restaurant is clean. The tea was enjoyable. However, the beans were disappointing; they were just beans mixed with BBQ sauce, which isn't really the traditional baked beans I was expecting. The brisket wasn't the typical BBQ style; it reminded me more of taco meat and tasted overcooked—not in a tender way, either. The coleslaw was good, though. Overall, it wasn't terrible, but it didn't feel like authentic BBQ, especially considering the prices I paid.

Service was great. Give it up to our waitress. The food, however, was par. Bologna was good with a nice smoke taste. But the brisket was overly salty and sausage was something I'd get at Walmart. My boy's Mac and cheese was Kraft, no lie. And that wasjust a side. And it took longer to get our food than any bbq place I'd ever been. Sweet tea was on point, though.

The food delicious, and the waitress was extremely sweet. The ribs were tender, and my husband's barbeque sandwich was very good. The mushrooms were delicious, as well. The jars for drinks was probably my favorite part.
