I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience my family and I had at this location. We visited Finn Hall as part of our Reunion group tour on a rainy Friday afternoon. It was awesome!! I chose Finn Hall because I saw the amazing videos of this BBQ, and it did not disappoint. The staff was extremely friendly, helping us order and even coming out to share all the amazing things they are doing around the area. (i.e. food trucks, and catering opportunities)
My son (8 y.o.) is a self proclaimed brisket judge. Like most kids his age he does not forget to share when he dislikes a place. Well no worries here, He LOVED his brisket sandwich, even using his own money to pay for it. (all parents know how big that is) I had to stop him from bringing one home, I let him know we could come back anytime!
What more can I say except see you soon!! Get the brisket ready!! Check out some photos of this happy staff, and my son & I placing our order!

This was THE Best food I’ve had in a long time! The chef greeted us as we walked up, and assured that we would love whatever we chose. He told the truth!! The lady working the front was very helpful in making our decision and the food did NOT disappoint!! So tender and delicious!! 10/10 would HIGHLY recommend!! The next time we’re in the Houston area we will definitely be back!

I tried the pork ribs, and they were excellent—smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The portion was generous, and there are plenty of sides to choose from, I opted for the salad. The server was friendly and attentive, even offering complimentary drinks while we waited for our food. Overall, it was a satisfying meal with good service and hearty portions.

Not only was the food amazing, the customer service was amazing! I had no idea what I wanted the server and the cook help us out. They were very friendly and honestly I’m debating about coming back tomorrow! I had the chicken loaded fries. Amazing!! Oh yeah with a mango lemonade, made by the cook, he was amazing!

This is definitely a spot to keep your eye on!
The staff, including the owner, will go out of their way to make sure every patron has an exceptional experience. They are especially helpful when it comes to dietary restrictions. All the flavors are unique and delicious, and every bite was a new adventure. My top two favorite items were the mac and cheese and the peach cobbler, with the loaded fries a close third. My best friend, a fellow Memphis transplant, loved the sausage and slaw most. Truly, there is an abundance of delicious options to choose from.
I look forward to seeing how the flavors and offerings expand and develop! There’s no way this place can’t succeed!
*Heads up – this is inside Finn Hall, so there is no direct parking closeby*

Was in town for a baseball game and stopped at this local BBQ place for lunch and it did not disappoint. The amount of flavor and juiciness to the meat was insane. The owner was there and he was very helpful with the menu items and what tasted good! Definitely recommend stopping here if you get a chance!

The customer service was top notch! The food was top notch! The staff greeted me with warmth and a smile even before entering their establishment! My husband and I had the brisket egg rolls and the chicken boudin. I did not expect my taste buds to explode the way they did! Everything was delicious! We will HAVE TO make our way back to The Smoke in Finn Hall for more!

Came in with pretty low expectations considering it was a food court, but ended up having some of the best Texas BBQ I’ve ever had. The brisket was good but the fall-off-the-bone pork ribs were divine!
Not just the meat but the simple sides tasted great too! The beans and spaghetti specifically
Edit: We came back a second time and the ribs were very mediocre, I think a lack of consistency is an issue.

The Smoke BBQ at the Farmers Market – a pop-up gem!
Missing that classic storefront? No worries! The Smoke is still bringing Texas BBQ heat, popping up at markets around Houston. Caught them at the Farmers Market in The Heights, 714 Yale Ave, and wow—this is a BBQ experience not to miss!
Brisket: Perfectly smoked with rich flavor in every bite.
Ribs: Tender to the point they practically fall off the bone.
Chicken Wings: Beyond amazing—crispy, juicy, and packed with smoky goodness.
If you’re in Houston, hunt them down at the next market stop. It’s worth it!

Omg! Yes, yes, yes! The customer service is incredible. The chef is handsome as he is talented. The food is out of this world! If my family cooked like that every family reunion, I’d never miss one, ha! You can taste the smoke, the wings you’d clean them easily because they are so flavorful, the Mac and cheese is delicious, and that peach tea definitely does taste like peach cobbler. That food was made with love, soul, and every other happy feeling that was going through my body while eating. I WILL be back!
