Smoke Daddy’s Review of Smittys Bar-B-Q
I would come back for the homeade sausage and potato salad. Or I might just try a plate of their soul food: Pork chop; mustard greens; corn casserole; and cornbread.
MAIN FARE:
- Brisket – Good Smoke. Fat trimmed off the slices. This is a "stand-up" style brisket: firm & lean. Slices turn out to be a little dry. Good.
- Rib – Mild smoke. Tender, but not quite done @ the breast bone
- Homeade Sausage – Course-grind… very good! Made with brisket???
- Sausage – Commercial product… Hillshire Farms?
- Cabrito – Yea! Rich chunks of dark meat here; Has some ‘funk’ to the flavor… a bit gamey.
Note: all meats are dusted with "magic spice" (rub)

OTHER FARE:
- Beans – Red Beans & Rice; Can substitute pintos. Good.
- Potato Salad – Interesting orange tint. Texture is soft/loose. And flavors include vinegar, oil, and mustard. This is definitely not your run-of-the mill ps. Different and very good.
- Sauce – Thin consistency, with heavy addition of liquid smoke.
- Hot Sauce – Mustard, garlic, & cayenne. Good.
ATMOSPHERE:
- Good drive-up "joint" appeal
- Good use of longhorns in decor
- Service is not fast… this is "slow food"
- Rest rooms located outside of the dining room
- J&R pits are out back
