on Citysearch Apr 14, 2008I had dinner in Smokin OAkies the other night and must say, I am glad Back 40 is just down the street. Between the horrible service from the owner, Angela Renghini and the tough dry ribs, I couldn't understand how they... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 29, 2006I have been coming here for years- breakfast lunch and dinner. While all meals have always been exceptional, I must say that since they have moved, I have been even more impressed. The two owners (girls) designed and... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 24, 2006My company hired them for catering... otherwise, I never would have known about these guys. It's a small place, with little street visibility. Whoever wrote that they don't BBQ their food must 1. be blind , and 2.... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 15, 2006I took the advice of the reviewers and was very disappointed. Five of my family members went for lunch and had BBQ and it was probably the worst I ever had. The meat did not have any BBQ or smoke flavor to it. It tasted like... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2006Here's the deal....simply one of the best BBQ places there is. They use an old fashioned pit oven from back in the day (check it out in the front window (been there for years and years)). They have a rub and special sauce... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 02, 2006Wow. I saw these guys on TV doing a demonstration on Barbeque. On the show, they talked about slow barbequeing techniques, and showed a Pork shoulder they had cooked for 7 hours. It looked amazing, so I took a trip to the... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 30, 2006I had only been to Bo's before and liked it, but I was fortunate to have someone order take out from Smokin Okie's and after eating the food there, Bo's is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Not only were the ribs tastier and... (more)
