In Short
Photos of blues and jazz greats hang on chipped, seafoam-green walls in this narrow space. The menu is nearly all barbecue, with huge portions at low prices. The barbecue sampler boasts an embarrassing amount of pulled beef, turkey and monster-size ribs. Rib platter options are popular too, and include spare ribs, baby backs or tips. All are of the dry variety and can be doused in sauce. Skinny fries are an addictive side.

Hands down, the best Q in town. Coming from Texas, this is quite a compliment, since the Lone Star is known for the skills in the Q pit. Generous portions and sweet potato fries!! Seriously great place to go for a meal before hitting the bars in the area. They have great local music most nights too. Come early if you want a good seat, as it is small on the inside...you will have a wait if the patio is not open. The carry out is a great option for those lazy nights. AND THEY HAVE LONE STAR BEER!! Awesome.

Thanks a lot Smoke Daddy, you delivered mediocre ribs (at best) at a price significantly higher than your website advertises. When I made the delivery phone order, they neglected to give me a price quote but did not forget to add $3 (a 15% increase) to the entree price upon delivery. When I called and inquired the manager basically told me tough luck. Apparently, a new menu was released today but the website had not yet been updated. If the statement "Prices may vary" was anywhere on the website I would have understood. I don't know what the in person Smoke Daddy experience is, but the entire phone order process was just amateur.

I used to L-O-V-E this place and I don't care if service isn't great: what do you expect, this is a no frills place, straight forward and genuine as is its food. I just went back: spring is shyly creeping in, and I couldn't wait to sit outside and enjoy my rib tips + blue moon. The waitress was very friendly, nice and helpful. Service was good: we got our food fast and.... cold! We asked to have it re-heated, but still, when we got it back, it was lukewarm. Such a disappointment! Well, I love their ribs, but I love them better when they're steamy: what's wrong with the kitchen??? The place was half empty, they weren't too busy! The only hot thing was... The coleslaw! That tasted delicious, by the way.... Because I'm a fan, I'll give it 3 stars, but really... Smoke Daddy needs to live up to its reputation!
