Smok-Shak BBQ Restaurant

"This place is owned by crooks who rip off their workers by not paying waitstaff a regular wage which is a violation of federal labor laws. Not sure how these crooks are still open. The owners and manager knowingly break federal labor laws anytime the place opens its doors. If you eat here you are supporting these people while line their pockets with their workers withheld wages. Not to mention to food is garbage cause they cut every corner to save a penny."

"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."

"This was a great find! Not much in this town but they do have a great restaurant! Had Calf Fries for the start. Very good. The sauce was great not too salty. How cool was my Ice Tea in a Mason Jar?? The sausage I had tasted home made. It was great. The beans had a unique taste! I couldn’t stop eating them. My potato salad was the only thing that was just not to die for. It had something in it that was a little off to me. It just wasn’t made for me. The place was clean. Bathroom was taken care of also. I love that the kitchen is not behind closed door. Would most definitely recommend!!"

"Sweet tea was good. Potato salad was good. Baked beans were okay. The staff was very courteous. The dining area was very clean. The men's bathroom was very clean. However, the ribs were what I was afraid of. This is my second trip in and both times I've yet to get what would appear to be fresh ribs. I know a restaurant can't just throw food out, but that's twice now on the ribs (my first trip in was a year or two back). Not pulling any punches, but it doesn't take a professional to know those ribs weren't real recent. As a side note, I've noticed they do not have pulled pork."

"This restaurant was just ok. It was recommended to us when my group was in Alva. In a group of 9 no one was really wowed by anything. The 3 of us had the brisket and we all agreed it was very salty. The barbecue sauce was ok, but the spicy version was not spicy at all. One of our guys had the ribs and he didn't really like them or the onion rings that he got as sides. Many of us did like their hand cut fries and the service was very good even with a large group."
