Dale's Smokehouse 4645 Indian Head Highway, Indian Head, MD 20640

"Chicken was 100% made in an oven no smoke or bbq flavor. The ribs were meaty but tasted like they used way too much liquid smoke or dirty smoke while cooking them. I’ve made much better bbq in the back yard."

"Food was fresh and really good. You get really big portions for your money. I would definitely recommend Dales! Sooooo good!"

"The inside leaves much to be desired, but it feels like a NC BBQ. The staff were incredibly friendly. However, for just 2 adults and 2 children we spent $50!"

"For many years Dale's has been my favorite place for bbq. We moved to St. Marys so it has been a while since our last visit. For Mother's day, I really wanted a sliced pork meal from Dale's so we made the hour drive only to be very disappointed. Let me say that the service is always great. The employees are friendly and welcoming. The sauce is still amazing. My sides were so over spiced that I couldn't even eat them. My green beans were so full of pepper and red pepper flakes that just 1 bite had my mouth on fire. Their Mac and cheese was the exact same way. When they started putting red pepper in their Mac and cheese I don't know but it's terrible and I wish they would go back to the original recipe. Very disappointing and a waste of a drive for food I couldn't even eat."

"Be careful. Food is good! But if you get it to go they use incorrect lids for the sauces. If one tips over it goes everywhere. They don't even warn you. And the pile on the sides in the dinner plates(which is good) but it over flows into everything else in the to go plate. Just put it in another container if you want to give so much. And use the right lid!!!"
