Neighborhood gem

Smoqued California Barbeque takes the traditionally southern practice of barbecue and gives it a west coast twist. The interior of the restaurant looks like any smokehouse one might find deep in Texas or up in Memphis. The whole establishment has a certain rustic and laid back charm that is easy to appreciate. In addition to serving up delicious barbecue, Smoqued is dedicated to serving the best in local craft brews. At any given time, there are a dozen local brewers being represented on the wall of taps. One of the best ways to start a meal here is with the Smoqued pork nachos with shoestring fries, mac sauce, mixed cheese, onions, tomato, jalapenos, chives and house BBQ sauce. All of the entrées are served as platters with the guest's choice of two sides. Possible proteins include beef brisket, pulled pork, pork belly, smoked chicken and smoked St. Louis ribs.

The food was absolutely amazing! Really good service and everything we tried was fantastic from fried pickles, and candied bacon appetizer to burnt ends, brisket, steak, even the loaded, baked potato with chili. The whole family loved everything! Oh don’t miss the corn bread muffins!!!

The portions were pretty good. Being from Texas it was not bad. Chx baked potato was nice and moist however, it did need butter, and make chopped up chicken and not slices of chx. the Mac and cheese was missing just a bit of spice. The breakfast burrito was tasty. But overall the food was pretty good. We would be back.

Mother's Day visit. Ordered the 5 Person Feast for the Family of 5 Adults, and it easily would have fed 8 non-teen people. We gladly took half the meat home. Definitely will return.
