I have held my Fantasy Football Draft parties at several locations in the past 12 years but this place was the absolute best. Kelly made this experience one we will never forget. Booking the room with her was easy and she made our whole crew feel special . Her attention to detail and personality are unmatched. You can tell she loves her job and making customers feel at home. Sean was our server and did a fabulous job keeping up with all our needs. Kelly and Sean, Thank you and we will be back.

Had a great night out at 518 Steakhouse
Our waiter was polite and attentive he was willing to take a group photo for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. The ambiance was warm and comfortable, perfect for catching up with friends.
And yes… this is that place with the little robots that bring your food to the table, how fun is this?

The drinks, the food, the atmosphere and service was outstanding. Their mules are perfect, I got the bbq & brisket, collards and baked beans… I could have ate it all but wanted to save some for later… I like mustard and vinegar but idk what they did to their mustard bbq sauce but I couldn’t get enough. If you love banana pudding you better try theirs. The only complaint I have is I live an hour and a half away 5 stars all the way!

We were there Saturday afternoon. Random Google BBQ search brought us here. And it was great. Portions were generous. Price was comparable to other Smokehouses that we have been to. We had burnt ends-the sause was amazing, ribs-tender cooked to perfection, 1/2 chicken-fall off the bone good with crispy skin, pulled pork-juicy. For sides we had baked beans and Mac n chz, both excellent. Our server was very attentive, sorry I don’t remember her name. We lacked for nothing. Portions were big enough that we took home almost 1/2 of the food. Restaurant is nice, clean, well lit Tables were well spaced, we had plenty of space. Definitely will go back when we are in the area again.

Visited 518 Smokehouse for the first time today. We had a party of 5 for lunch and we all enjoyed our meals. We had burnt ends, pulled pork, brisket, burger and pulled pork tacos. Everything was hot and delicious including the sides. The tater tots, macaroni and cheese and baked beans were some of the exceptional sides we tried. The restaurant is spacious with very comfortable seating. The outdoor area is very impressive as well. Lots of tables on the huge patio and 4 nice covered areas to dine under as well. Hope to enjoy the outside space the next time we visit because we will be back! Our server, Heather, was very welcoming and made our overall experience even more enjoyable. She was attentive and patient and a great ambassador to 518 Smokehouse. Can’t wait to return to try more items on the menu.

I was lucky enough to go when it wasn’t crowded so a reservation wasn’t needed. Food is really good and the service even better. It’s about 30 miles from my home, but I’ll definitely be going back.

My husband and I tried again for the third time. My husband had the brisket, baked beans, French fries and water. I had the tater tots with cheese and 8 smoked wings and a Diet Coke. The tater tots with cheese were good ( how can you mess up a tater tot?). The wings were ok. My husband did not enjoy the brisket and the baked beans were way “over sauced “, and the French fries, well they are French fries! The meal was just blah but here is the kicker…..this meal cost $69.96!!! Are you kidding me? Tater tots , wings , French fries and one piece of brisket… almost $70.00!! I don’t mind paying for good food but I do mind paying $70.00 for basic, blah food! I don’t understand , the “family” that owns this restaurant has other restaurants and the food is delicious which is why we tried it again. One final note, the decor and atmosphere are nice. Better than most BBQ places.

A delightful surprise! We went in blindly, having no knowledge of this establishment. Wow!! We suddenly had a date night. A beautiful atmosphere took ordinary to upscale. It’s way more than any BBQ joint we’ve ever seen. And light, live music! The food was delicious and the staff were happy, helpful, and amazing.
