Portion is great, everyone there is nice.
BBQ dishes are pretty good! The burger next table looks very good, I may try it next time.
We ended up packing some food to go as there are a lot of food! (Not complaining! :))

We loved the food so much that we decided to come back the next day again for dinner. The meats are awesome, but I recommend the wraps, especially if you are looking for a healthier alternative. The New Orleans wrap in particular was delicious. Also, if you are in for a decadent desert, I recommend the Fudge Brownie Sundae. It will be a desert you’ll remember for sure.

Smokey’s Baroque Great From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm and welcoming, with a unique character that really sets it apart. The ribs are outstanding—perfectly cooked, incredibly tender, and packed with deep, smoky flavor that clearly comes from real care and skill in the kitchen.
What truly elevates the experience, though, is the staff. Everyone is genuinely friendly, attentive, and happy to make recommendations, which makes you feel more like a guest than just a customer. Great food, great vibe, and great people—this is a place I’ll happily return to and recommend to others.

We go here ever winter when we are in town. It was obvious the portions got smaller this year. The meat which is suppose to be the star of the show was dry. The steak ($49) was cooked alright but their was no seasoning…Not even salt and pepper it was pretty bad. My sides were not great either the lettuce for the ceaser salad was extremely bitter, no one wanted to eat it. The chili was the size of a dixie cup- for $8? Overall for the hefty price tag of everything, I dont think it wasworth it. The quality is not there. Customer service was great and friendly though.

Overall delicious. Corn bread is tasty and just about right sweet. Grilled asparagus is a little too oily. Beef rib is juicy, but beef brisket is dry. Pork rib is juicy and a little bit touch of fruity sweet, but pork link is a little salty and hard to cut off with a knife.

A longtime establishment and must be a local favorite!
The brisket was good but cold
The cornbread was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Chicken was dry.
Pulled pork was new mixed with old meat…off tasting bites.
The sauce on the table was . It helped the whole meal and added it to the cowboy beans to kick up the flavor.
I’m so used to slow smoked Southern style BBQ, so I have to chalk it up to this place just being a local favorite and that is ok!
Close to Donner Pass. Very charming atmosphere!

Great service and good food. Really enjoyed the blue moon pitcher, a two meat plate with some corn bread, onion rings, and sweet potato fries. Also had two burgers, garlic fries and a tortilla soup. All the food was fresh and tasted really good. The place itself was cozy and had a tv running as well.

What happened to this place? Entire family feels sick after eating here. Everything looked and tasted like microwaved leftovers. And it cost $230 for two adults, two eleven year old boys and one 4 year old boy. No alcohol either. My brisket was about the size of a Costco sample. I’d post pictures but I don’t want to do more damage.

Our waiter was nice and gave us a wait time on the food, and it came out well before! The food was good and the portions did not disappoint

Smokey’s Kitchen is a good BBQ restaurant in Truckee, CA on Donner Pass Road just off the 80 freeway. I had the Whiskey Steak which was very good and was basically a rib eye steak with their whiskey sauce (normally they use a New York steak). Friendly staff and reasonably sized food portions. The corn bread is really good. During the day you can sit out on the patio and get a good view of the local mountains.
