Wrapping up the day here couldn’t have been better. The meat was tender and packed with flavor, and every side dish was cooked just right. The cheesy corn and crispy tater tots easily stole the show for me. The team was welcoming and attentive, and the spot itself is ideally located for strolling around the downtown area afterward. A relaxing, satisfying stop that hit all the right notes.

Fantastic BBQ sauces and tender meat make this restaurant the perfect recipe! Excellent food, service, atmosphere! The staff is friendly and helpful! It’s not a huge restaurant, and it fills up quickly! They can accommodate 1 or 8 quickly and easily! Impressive! The menu is vast even if you don’t eat BBQ! Excellent dinner, and we’d love to return for dinner once again! Parking is abundant on the street and all around!

Soooo good! One of the best bbq places I’ve eaten at since moving to MO.
I’ve tried a bunch of items on the menu and have loved it every time.
The corn nuggets are awesome and the sweet potato fries are some of the best I’ve ever tasted! They have an awesome, savory seasoning on them that make them extraordinary.
The service is great, too! Very friendly and attentive waiters and waitresses.
We have been here many times and will continue to eat at Chops!

I have been wanting to try this place for a while. Finally tried it yesterday. I had a burnt ends sandwich with beans on the side. I judge BBQ places by how well they handle these. The burnt ends were moist and tasty. The beans were above average. There were 3 flavors of sauce and I liked all of them. It’s definitely a place I will return to so I can try more of their dishes.

Great BBQ spot in downtown Smithville. Enjoyed a loaded pulled pork sandwich and tots for the Tues special… great value at $10! Loved the sauce options – Sweet, Bold and Hot. Brown butcher table and crayons on the table for aspiring artists..fun for kids and adults. Our orders came out quickly and Bre was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend Chops!

Just ate at Chops BBQ in Smithville, Missouri and had a great experience. The food was absolutely delicious, everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can tell they really care about quality and serving good, comforting BBQ.
A special shoutout to Bre, our waitress, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole meal even better with great service and a positive attitude. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you’re in the area and want solid BBQ with great hospitality!

We had the three meat platter (with some extras). Pork ribs, brisket and burnt ends. Sides were fried okra, onion rings and corn nuggets. It was all delicious! Beer was ice cold too. Service staff were very friendly.

Chops BBQ in Smithville is a charming spot with great food and a lot of personality. We started with the onion rings, which were perfectly crispy and absolutely delicious. For the main courses, my wife had the pit ham platter with cheesy potatoes and fried okra—both sides were flavorful and complemented the tender ham well. I had the brisket wrap with fries, and it was a satisfying, hearty choice.
The unique decor adds a lot to the experience. The walls are covered in paper tablecloths colored by diners, with hundreds of creative designs adding a fun, personal touch. The restaurant’s front is proudly lined with BBQ competition trophies, showcasing its award-winning pedigree. Chops BBQ offers a great meal in a quirky, inviting atmosphere—definitely worth a visit!

You just can’t find better BBQ anywhere! Everything is excellent and the brisket just melts in your mouth. I personally LOVE the fried catfish & the smoked turkey, too. The okra is also FANTASTIC!

Service was excellent and food was amazing. I got the 2 meat platter (I selected sausage and brisket for my choices) and the sausage was phenomenal and the brisket was a little tough and on the dry side but with the bole sauce they have on the tables it was amazing!! The beans has great flavor and the slaw was different but super flavorful and one of my favorites slaws I have had. The facility is very clean and bright. I highly recommend it! My wife and I will be going back!
