This place is so good! Wide variety of meats! Several housemaids sausages representing different regions of the United states. Full bar with fairly priced beers on tap. Semi open kitchen lets you look into some of the magic. 20 or so tables helps best place to stay accessible and busy. Metal straws in the water cups show sustainability efforts.

Our family and a friend visited the mustard flower fields in Alexander Valley and stopped at KINSmoke for lunch while looking for a good American restaurant. The food was excellent! My family and friend enjoyed the smoked whole chicken so much that they are already searching for a similar taste near Cupertino. As a vegetarian, I had their tasty fries, which were great. My only request is for the restaurant to add at least one vegetarian sandwich or burger (using fresh veggies instead of a patty) to their lunch menu. The service was top-notch, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting Healdsburg, CA.

Great dinner and cocktails at Kinsmoke in Healdsburg. Place is very cool looking and smells so good when you walk in. I sat close to where the food was coming out so I was seeing some good stuff. We got the happy hour margaritas which were really good. And $6 each, pretty great deal. I had the chili cheese fries and hellfire wings from the happy hour menu and my husband got the bacon cheeseburger with fries. Their fries are sooooo good and definitely one of the best burgers I’ve tasted in quite awhile. Give this place a try, great food, great service and great portions with great hour prices!

Been wanting to try this place as it has been recommended by more than one of my friends. I was not disappointed!!
Got the Abomination Burger. This thing has a 1/2 pound burger with pork belly and a chicharrón to top it off! Messy but delicious!
Do NOT leave this place without trying the Pork Belly Burnt Ends! TO DIE FOR!
A little on the pricey side but great food for the money!!

Got take out and all I can say was it was not worth it on any level. Dry brisket and I mean dry, stringy, just bad. I mean if that’s not enough portions are small and the prices are high! Ordered large sides to go and the containers were barely half filled. Cornbread tasted like Jiff from the box. Even the baby back ribs were somehow dry and chewy. It’s not worth it: order a pizza or stay home and cook

Service was excellent with welcoming, friendly and attentive attitude! Meats were good but with hardly noticeable smoke flavor. My bet is they are using pellet grills instead of wood. I suppose that’s what one has to do to keep costs down — which i understand. Their cornbread muffins were excellent! Another unique side dish was the sweet potato tator tots! They were amazing! Overall a good experience.

Considering the price of red meat, and wine for that matter, this place is a really good value. The staff were friendly and efficient, and the food was good quality. They had a perfectly good glass of Merlot for $10. My only criticism is that it’s a bit dark inside for lunchtime, and you’ll probably leave smelling a bit like BBQ, but we’ll definitely be back.

Ordered off DoorDash and we live five minutes away so the food was still hot when we got it. That’s was probably the only decent thing about it because the 1/2 pound burger was definitely not a 1/2 pound and dry and the veggie were barely holding in the burger like they threw it together. The fries were okay but the onion rings were burned and the portion really small. Just not worth the price, maybe it’s better in person but not from ordering online

Really fun BBQ place with outdoor dog-friendly seating! Lots of meats and sides. I would recommend the “2 x 2” platter so you can try two of the meat options and two of the sides. Highly enjoyed the cole slaw! They make their own BBQ sauce, and it’s not very spicy, which is nice. Plus, they let you specify how fatty you want the pulled pork, which is fantastic. Waiters are kind and helpful. Wonderful corn muffins and tons of beer options. Overlooking the downtown plaza so overall a convenient location but not much shade ☀️

Finally made it here on the drive up towards Mendocino and had a nice BBQ takeout meal to sit and eat at the park across the street (since they no longer have their own parklet patio). The hush puppies were amazing and one of our favorites. The brisket was very very good! Definitely worth a stop if you’re already passing through, but wouldn’t go out of the way to have again. And the mac and cheese was good – more creamy than cheesy.
