Smoak BBQ,

2291 Commerce Drive Northwest, Rochester, MN 55901

"This bar not only has amazing curb appeal (awesome outdoor seating with bean bags), but the inside is just as cool. Buzzing with a friendly atmosphere, the staff were great, and food was phenomenal. The bloody Mary's were great as well, and I even won a little on Pull Tabs, too. I will definitely stop again next time I am in the area."

"A great place to go and enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner! They have a very nice outdoor seating area and a large space inside with tables and a bar. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious as always. Located by Aldi, McDonald's, and a lot of other places to shop or eat. Definitely a developing area of the city!"

"Great place for a good Texas-style BBQ. Being a native Texan, I’m always weary of trying BBQ in the Midwest that advertises Texas-style BBQ. This place hit the nail on the head! It is pricey, but it is worth it. My only disappointment was the portion size of the brisket. I ordered the two meat plate and got brisket and ribs. It came with three good-sized ribs and four thin slices of brisket. The brisket is to die for, and the ribs are just as good. The collard greens were perfect! I will be coming back when I’m in the area."

"Carry out. We got Brisket, pork, beans, Mac n cheese. You know me, I am critical on BBQ. The brisket didn't have a smoke ring , so I was worried, but....taste was great, fat was not missing, seasoned great. Impressed for what I have had in Minnesota so far. Mac n cheese was good, beans were very Texas style and great. Best BBQ in Minnesota so far!"

"We’ve been here 4 or more times and had a great experience every time! We just visited with out of town relatives (9 of us) and had another great experience, perfect meals, great service and great atmosphere - nice country music. We had a mix of meals-Salmon plates, Smash Burgers, 1/2 chicken, Burrito bowl, Pacific salad, 2 kids cheeseburgers, etc. All the food was nice portions, good quality, tasty, quick service, very nice waitress and affordable. Bathroom too was spacious and clean. Better than our experiences at 5 West right down the road!"
