Cool stop! Staff are pretty incredible. Moved fast to help people out. Definitely a small town feel. A good place to stop for lunch or dinner if in the area. Really liked their burgers and fries. They have good cheese curds and wings.

Smokey's is a staple! I know that every time i go I'll run into people I know, make new friends, everyone is like family! The food is great, I love their wings! (Especially the Red Hot Ranch) They have live music every day of the week. The staff is great! Can't beat the vibe!

Outstanding service and food. My burger was delicious and the two brisket sandwiches my friends had were gone in minutes. My only suggestion would be the chips instead of fries. I liked the chips, however it was 80% tiny pieces versus chips you could hold. Everything else was wonderful.

Fast service and great food. Easy parking. Only thing I didn't care for was the cole slaw. Chopped brisket was A

The chicken fried steak was very tender and tasty, the coleslaw was very good, a little dark of course it is a bar, and a group was setting up for live music. Everyone should try it very good and say hi to Megan and Brianna

This place was really cool. The food was great! The service was great! And the atmosphere was really cool. They had so much cool stuff to see inside! They even have live bands, and a cool outdoor area! Glad we found this place...

The food is so amazing , I ordered the smoky Joe’s chicken fried steak. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans, the fried chicken and the mashed potatoes were covered in their amazing gravel, It was out of this world amazing. I also ordered a chicken wrap to go and a peach cobbler pie to go. The atmosphere is fun and energetic, I absolutely love the 80s music, wonderful people, excellence service. I definitely will be back when I’m back in Texas!
