Smoke BBQ Pit,

129-21 Merrick Blvd, Jamaica, NY 11434, United States

"We have ordered from here numerous of times and were overall satisfied with our food. Unfortunately, our last order (12/09/2023) was poor. My husband bit into his chicken wings and came across a tiny metal piece. I called the restaurant and asked for a manager, but was told he was not in. The young lady took my name and number and I was supposed to get a call back. It never happened. I called the next day and spoke with a manager who basically did but believe us and tried to offer a free meal. We don't need a free meal, we need a meal free of debris that should not have been in our food."

"Whoever it was that cook my ribs on 11/29/23 did a great job! They were tender, juicy, fresh and half a step from falling off the bone. Much improved from the last time I visited Smoke a few years ago. The mac & cheese was ok, it could use some seasonings in preparation; cornbread, small but very good. I will be returning to try some other items.... definitely will order the ribs again. I used the parking at the rear of the restaurant. Thanks for a great meal!"

"I'm reluctantly giving this place 3 stars because I never got to taste the food. I strolled in 2 hours after they unlocked the doors, but it seemed like a ghost town – no welcoming committee or menu in sight. I sashayed over to the bar, where two guys were having a grand old time, but no one cared to seat me or offer a menu. Eventually, a gentleman appeared, but he was too engrossed in his phone to spot my pitiful state. After a couple of awkward minutes, I mustered the courage to interrupt his phone-a-thon, and he begrudgingly handed me a menu. I dared to ask if they could clean a slightly messy table I had my eye on, but the waiter acted like I'd requested a unicorn ride, suggesting I sit elsewhere. Disheartened but determined, I found another spot, after which I headed to the ladies room only to discover the bathroom floor sounded like I was peeling off tape with every step. I decided it was time to bounce – the service was more of a sad comedy than fine dining, and I couldn't endure it any longer."

"I've been coming here for a long time over 10yrs , Their food, which Isn't bad, was finger smacking good. I loved their sweet tea, but this visit wasn't so great tasted a bit, dish watery,Had to wait over 30 mins but was worth it,Only complaint I have is their BATHROOMS ARE DISGUSTING brown stains all over the ceiling, smells like urine need maintenance every few hours"

"Not going to lie I had doubts about this spot but my fiancée suggested it so we went anyway and I was actually satisfied so it’s def worth the review so here to we go! The drinks hit heavy, Glad we took an Uber there that’s for sure. The food was on point, the pork ribs may not be falling off the bone but that type of cook takes a lot of time and effort so very understandable. The beef ribs on the other hand did break apart so easily and were juicy. The Bake Mac was delicious just as much as all the other sides. We even ordered an additional plate of pulled pork and even that was slamming. I would suggest adding hand wipes for sticky fingers."
