Superb barbecue place with brisket you cut with a fork and melts in your mouth. No teeth needed to eat their meats! Best value meal is served on a trashcan lid and gives you enough meat for two people for the week, a variable bargained at under $120! Highly recommend check them out

Celebrated a birthday here. Service was awesome. Got the fowl farts (deviled eggs) and moose turds (bacon wrapped jalapeno) and trashcan lids. It was a lot of food. Easily fed 4 with one lid. Probably could have fed another 3.

Great place for some really good BBQ and the place smells amazing when you walk in the door. I can’t wait to go back and try some of the other items on their menu. The service was also great and our waiter was attentive and made sure to check on us if we needed more drinks or more of their sauces they provided with our meal.

Ate there for the first time yesterday. Food was great! The ribs are phenomenal. The meat pulls off the bone. I had the combo platter. The brisket was dried out but when I brought it to the servers attention it was made right with a very juicy and tender serving. It was the closest to Texas BBQ without being in Texas. Definitely worth it. And I will return

It was an accident that we wound up here, but so glad for the happenstance. Sydney was delightful, made the whole experience. She was kind and engaging. We got the brisket basket, corn (x 2) beans and side salad. Taking some home. Thank you for the time, Sydney, you were good for our souls. The Shermans from Georgia.

In an effort to not be crass, I will preface this by saying anyone with a negative review has a dense object arriba their behind
Now, to spoil the ending, my experience at this restaurant was incredible. I’m not just talking about the food, staff, or atmosphere individually; this place felt like home. From the moment I walked in the door Liz, Erica, “The Boss,” and even fellow Patrons of the Bar contributed to the best restaurant experience I’ve had for a very… very long time. If you’re questioning my opinion, or rather my expertise, know that I was raised in the most welcoming restaurant down south who prides themselves in making every person feel like one of our own.
Okay okay I’ll get on with it since I know you want to know about the food. It needs no other explanation other than it was drool worthy. Again, “The Boss” and I’m guessing the real Boss (“the boss’” wife) just love the food they serve. They shared samples of candied bacon with me and photos of their creations as we spit bs.
In conclusion, they are amazing because they love what they do. They love the food, they love their regulars, and they love the strays like me that wander in on a Sunday afternoon. It’s easy to conclude that, every time I visit CDA I’m stopping at Relic first.

Brisket was great. Pulled pork, I think, was on its last leg. It’s still good but not as good as brisket!
The waiter was solid, professional, and polite!
BBQ sauce, nothing to write home about but okay.
Try it out! The brisket is worth the trip and some great cold on tap!!

DO NOT judge this restaurant by the exterior (or do….. we can keep it for us locals). Wow! Just WOW! Relic Smokehouse is fall off your stool unbelievably great food. My husband ordered the brisket, i ordered ribs and brisket and (creatures of habit we are) we both ordered the mac & cheese and beans for sides. The food was out of this world outstanding. It comes with 3 different sauces: regular bbq (good), hot bbq (amazing!!) And hot mustard (outstanding). Loved that the meat came “dry” so you could add your sauce of choice – problem is we loved them all. The meat was literally melt in your mouth tender, and the flavor was outstanding. The mac & cheese should be its own food group – its THAT good. It’s housed in a historic building with an unassuming front. It is our new favorite regular spot.
Just an update: we’ve had the Moose Turds (bacon wrapped cheese filled jalapeños) appetizer and they are FANTASTIC. Absolutely love their baked potatoes, baked yams, cucumber and onion salad, as well as their reuben sandwich. All are incredible, and the hardest part is deciding which to order when we go.

If you’re craving brisket, this is the place to go! I’d give the actual food a 8/10. I wish they had more beef and chicken options. The service was a little off, took a while to get a server and our drinks, however she was very nice once we got her attention. I’d definitely come back again.
