We have been here many times. Food and service always top notch! Appetizer scallops a must!
I often enjoy the 8 of filet.
Our service is always great!
Same women for a long time! And they remember and acknowledge that you’ve been there before!
Easy going atmosphere and not a big place. Cozy.
They are not inexpensive, but the food is always top notch!

We would have given a 5 star rating, but we were Sat for 40 mins after our reservation time. People had a reso after us, but must have been regulars, and they sat them before us. Our cocktails, server Barb, and food were great. The French onion soup was delicious

We had a lovely Birthday celebration supper at Smokey’s! Service was top notch, including the pleasant hostess. Lori our server was excellent in every way. Our table was ready and waiting with waters and an included appetizer tray. The French Onion soup was truly the best! Everyone enjoyed their meals, from Rib Eye, to Shrimp, to Pasta dishes. No pics this visit, too busy with conversations, but the table was beautiful, the food grand and the service impeccable!

I loved everything about this place! I had a birthday dinner here and our server— Lori (I think) was incredibly nice and attentive. We began with an appetizer of bacon wrapped scallops and I then had the French onion soup. Prime rib was my entree and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. For drinks I had a gin martini and then a brandy old fashioned with house marinated mushrooms. There was a pianist playing live music around the bar, and all of the guests were happy and the vibe just great. I would come back time and time again.

This place was really hyped up to us by the locals, but we were sadly let down by the mediocre food and careless pub-style service.
The blue cheese dressing on the salads was excellent, for sure, but my chicken was so dry I couldn’t swallow it.
The salmon was good, but the mashed potatoes tasted poorly & were not fluffy, but tough. They had the consistency of being a day old.
The bread pudding was also recommended. We thought it was, once again, medicore, did not like the chocolate chips in it. Would’ve been better with cinnamon chips.
Certainly over priced with inconsistent quality! Disappointed.

We drove 35 mins to Smokey’s because we heard good things. We did not call ahead so when we got there at 6:25 pm they said we could have a reservation time of 8pm. We agreed and sat at the bar area awaiting our turn. Greg the bartender super aware and quick with how busy it was..that was not my issue. My issue is when regulars walk in and are seated while we waited..and waited..once 8:30 hit with tables empty and we were obviously not being seated and completely forgot we left. So basically if you are an out of towner maybe avoid this place because they will avoid you!!! At the end of the day the bartender is great the rest of the staff is unaware and I have no clue how the food was since we never got to sit down.

Very good meal and friendly staff. We’ve been here twice and will likely be back. Prime Rib, NY strip and ribeye are great! Cheesecake was very good too.

We recently dined at Smokey’s Restaurant, and it was truly a fantastic evening. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was a culinary delight. Our experience was made even better by our server, Becky, who provided impeccable service. Her attentiveness and friendly demeanor ensured we had a memorable meal.

Outstanding Cuisine! You must try it at least once. From the exterior woodsy appearance to the personal service our experience was amazing.
They take reservations for your dining experience simply because they are so popular. The simple clean elegance created an inviting atmosphere. We had white linen table cloths and fine glasses and table service.
Our celebration was a work anniversary of 23 years at the same employer. We enjoyed the custom relish tray included with meal. Fine cheese, Garlic bread, and olive spread. Yum! Our dinner rolls were fresh baked pretzel bread.
I found the pumpkin cream soup to be amazing. I ordered Salmon Oscar wirh shrimp, crab cakes and extra large Scallops. The Salmon was lightly crisped by a grill and outstanding in flavor, moist and flakey.
My wife had their signature prime rib with horseradish and au jus.
What an amazing meal. Well worth the planning to dine there.
