This is our first time going to smoke in Portland. We walked in and we’re greeted very quickly and seeded our server was friendly. We started with cheese curds. Were crispy and melty and delicious. We ordered the brisket burnt ends with fries and the chicken tenders meal with beans that do have a brisket sauce and coleslaw with a fried corn muffin. I had to order a corn muffin because you don’t go to a barbecue at you and not get a corn muffin. We added a side of mac and cheese to share. That was cheesy and delicious. The burnt ends were tasty. I won’t take a star off for the food but to get a solid piece of fat as one of the chunks served was a little disappointing but the french fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy that kind of made up for it. The chicken tenders were perfectly cooked and delicious with the sauce. The beans and coleslaw were next level. Now let’s talk about the fried corn muffin….. That was a religious experience. Only made better by their cinnamon butter concoction. We will definitely go back. The service was great. The food was hot and delicious. Those two things don’t usually come in the same place these days. Good one

We ordered the Mac N Cheese bites. I didnt love the coating,and they were a little under cooked. The steak N cheese was described as a 10 inch or so..but was more like a fatty 6 in. The steak was nice and tender ,bread was ok. Also ordered the Beef brisket and Mac N cheese bowl…those were both delicious from what im told! Only wish the only rings had more flavor

Brandy and Dan are amazing. Came in for a quick bite have never been before . The Mac and cheese bites and smoked Rueben are amazing . The vibe of the bar is good and has a game room, super clean and the food was fresh and definitely worth the money. The flavor and portions were amazing. Will definitely be back because of the customer service and quality of food . The Rueben was a lot of pastrami and rye bread was toasted so good with the cheese and kraut melting all together with the 1000 island .. just like mama used to make 10/10

Got a varied selection while we were here of chicken fingers (gigantic, obviously fresh made), poutine (large portion, pulled pork on top was amazing), smoked wings (no need for sauce, these were so flavorful), and the smoked patty melt (Texas toast was Texas sized, every bite super flavorful). The portions made the prices well worth it, the staff was friendly, great beer selection. Also TONS of gluten free items including the fried chicken. The ranch is dairy free too!

I usually love this place and eat here all the time, but I ordered to go today and it was really disappointing. The popcorn chicken cost me 20 dollars, and I would hardly call it popcorn chicken since they were so huge. The garlic parmesan dry rub smelled like rotten milk and tasted even worse, and there was so much of it that the whole thing was inedible. I also ordered fries, and they barely gave us any, and not to mention the 4 dollar corn muffin that was the same size as a condiment container. To make matters worse, the woman who took our order was incredibly rude. I’m really disappointed because this place is normally great, but this meal was a total letdown and definitely not worth the 40+ dollars.

This place did accommodate to our 12 person group. We sat outside and the weather was nice. We all ordered different items and the portion sizes were pretty good. All of the items came out in a timely matter and the servers were friendly. The only thing that wasn’t good were the drinks they were overly strong and lacked taste. The food tasted good and the price wasn’t too bad. The best thing by far was the fried corn bread.

I used to love this place, you’d get a TON of chicken for $21.00.. it would be filled to the brim. I just ordered food for the first time in a few months and found a half order of what we used to get, and my father’s order was the exact same thing. This is WAY too pricy for such a small portion, I’m severely disappointed and won’t want to risk getting ripped off again.

Smoked Portland what a nice hidden gem they are serving up some fantastic food at this place. As a small content, food reviewer creator, I was taken back by the flavor profiles that were coming out of the kitchen.. the cheese wedges were very cheesy. The pulled pork barbecue smashed burger melt fantastic. The mac & cheese was unbelievably creamy and delicious and let’s not get into the deep fried wings that they were serving up. Highly recommend this place full review to come on my YouTube channel..

Cheeky. Good food, okay prices but… . Check the prices on the check tho. Everything is an up charge although presented as an option to item.
Food was good, hot, unique in some ways lije hashbrowns with gravy and bacon. Burgers flat no veggies. Portions fair.
Waitress was great, manager was aggressive when questioned. We resolved the pricing issues.
Overpriced wine, at $11.25 a glass, from Chile. (I paid more than the bottle unknowingly. Yes, I’ll ask next time.)
Bathrooms are strange with signs everywhere telling you how to do your business, but only in the women’s! What?
Every place in Portland is getting out of control with prices.
