BIG SMOKEYS BBQ AND MORE

This place has the best bbq I've ever had fr. Soooo good, we had the big smokey burger, a brisket plate and loaded potato skins. Well worth the price

I want to first say that this has been my fav bbq place for a cple of years.. I dont know if the owners have changed but our experience on Sat . Nov 9 2024 was really bad. Waiter asked us what we would like to drink, I said sweet tea.. he said all we have is raspberry tea.. I said ' ok I will try it' So when it's time for him to take our order, I order the brisket nacho fries with the cheese sauce on the side, he says 'oh we don't have any fries ready ' to which I am kinda shocked.. I said 'ok how long for fries' he says ' a cple of minutes' (its a weird comment since fries should be cooked to order in a restaurant) He's not writing anything down so I repeat .. 'cheese sauce on the side pls and I would like a side of Mac n cheese' My partner ordered the chicken plate which on the menu says 2 legs 2 thighs 2 sides and 2 pieces of bread.. for her sides she wants green beans and corn and he says they don't have any corn she said ok coleslaw. Server comes back to the table about 10- 15 min later and says ' um your fries are ready but they didn't put the cheese sauce on the side and all we have are sweet potato fries' so I say 'ok I'll try it' Food comes out My partners chicken is way over cooked and they have forgotten a piece, there was 2 legs and 1 thigh, ( which I asked the server about and he said yea they forgot a piece and went and got it) coleslaw tastes like it's gone bad, everything has been nuked in the microwave even the fries because they are lukewarm on the outside and scalding on the inside.. the brisket was dry.. and right before I have had enough, my partner finds a hair in her food. I am so dissapointed its very hard to find a good bbq place and I have loved the food here ..They have lost 2 loyal customers.

There’s a lot of good BBQ places in Georgia but Big Smokey’s is by far the best BBQ I’ve ever had. Found Big Smokey’s a little over a month ago and have been in every week since. (twice a couple times) The BBQ nachos with brisket are DELICIOUS! My favorite thing on the menu is the baked potato with brisket though. The meat is so moist and flavorful, you can taste the smoky flavor in every bite. Their deserts are amazing too, I’m not a big fan of banana pudding in general but my wife loves it, their crack cake is also so delicious and moist, a must try! (To take home, their portions are huge and you will be so full) To top it off they are so nice! The first time we went in the lovely lady behind the counter suggested food for us to try and was very helpful in general. The owner has also been working in the kitchen everytime I’ve been in and is also very nice. Definitely stop by when you pass by, delicious! P.S try the Smokey’s punch!

We had the ribs, Mac n cheese, baked beans, potato salad and onion rings. We did not like the potato salad. It wasn't necessarily horrible, but just not our kind of potato salad. The beans and Mac n cheese were very good. Do wish they would give you real silver ware.

We probably won't be back again. We ordered the 8 piece chicken family meal. The owner Ray took the order for us. He then told us that he only have 3 pieces of chicken available for us. He will give us 15 pieces of chicken wings to substitute. I said ok, that will work. The food were packed in to go box. We figured it was 1 piece of chicken and 17 pieces of wings. The metric is off. Should just tell your customers we don't have the chicken; Order something else. If I want to order the wings. We will probably get 25 for 25$. Instead of 17 wings and 1 piece of chicken + 3 sides for 35$. The food is good. If you want the customers keep coming back. Don't offer something and not commit to it. To reply to the message. It was 1 piece of chicken and 17 wings. You can confirm with him before calling your customers a lier. Why would I even make that up? This reply defines how well you treat your return customers. Totally not worth my time to come back dispite how good the food is.

Flies flies and more flies. We could have eaten outside with less flies and we were there at opening. The owner should invest in some spray. NOW FOR THR FOOD, DONT BOTHER overpriced for the amount of food the brisket in the photo is $20. The brisket is overdone and falls apart trying to eat it and notice that it doesn't have a smoke ring. This is a sure sign of a gas or electric commercial smoker. I would post a pic of what it should look like but that would confuse someone. The sausage appears to be commercial and if it even touched a grill I would be surprised. All the meat came pre sauced which is a sure sign you are trying to cover up bad technique. I didn't photo the potato salad but it's mashed instead of in chunks and a disgusting combination of sweet and pickle. Believe all the 1 star reviews and head elsewhere.

Absolute hidden gem. Brisket is best I've had. All the sides are amazing especially the Mac n cheese and corn salad. But I would come here for the "crack" cake alone. The staff are warm and friendly. This is a must try restaurant.

Recently found this place and the food was excellent. We taste tested a few local places for a catering event and the family picked this place as the best tasting. From a catering perspective, the only complaint this they need to re-visit the pricing of their sides. The way they calculate how sides are added to the order made it SIGNIFICANTLY more than other BBQ places in the area. Unfortunately, we were forced to buy the sides elsewhere even though we liked the taste of Big Smokes BBQ.

Some of the best barbecue north of Fox Brothers, I truly loved Big Smokey's. A group I work with would go there regularly, and we even had them cater for the office. Great food! Unfortunately, it was always a little weird in there. Odd location, odd ideas, and eventually a disgusting "too hot to eat it" wing challenge with videos playing of people throwing up while you're trying to eat. I couldn't go back after that. I told my wife many times I wished I could invest in the place and run the front part of the business while they handle the incredibly delicious food.

When I tell you this is one of the best BBQ places I've been to since we moved here a couple of years ago, I'm not exaggerating. The food (ribs, brisket mac & cheese, crack, cake, potato wedges, etc.) have been delicious every single time. The young man who has been there since they've opened, has always been super pleasant and attentive. The place itself is small, but they made room to even fit a pool table, which is fun. Love this place!

Good riddance. They ripped us off TWICE with weight of food not being correct. Dishonest business owner.

Everything waiter was attentive. Food was hot and good. Wait time was on point. And the price wasn't bad

WOW! This is fantastic BBQ! Stopped by for a quick bite and was in awe! The menu is simple, yet enough options for meat lovers alike. The portions are plentiful and the sides are YUMMY! We had chicken plates and chicken sandwiches, mac & cheese, BBQ baked beans, and fries and there is nothing left! Great atmosphere, fantastic music, AMAZING BBQ and the staff are just as amazing! We will be back for sure! Great place to try if you haven't yet!

Friendliness Informative cleanliness can't wait to go back glad they got their liquor license thank you

This place is the real deal. The owner and staff are so nice and friendly. My daughter and I dropped in for a sandwich. You can get a sandwich, plate, or lb. portions. The amount of meat on the sandwich was really enough for two. The owner put a baseball size amount of meat on the bun. We cut it in half and still had enough for a small sandwich. The meat was so good that I actually went back inside, we ate in the car, and bought enough for dinner. Beef ribs, brisket, and pork were all tasty. The bbq beans and collards alone will have me going back. The potato salad was different, I will say. It was like mashed potatoes. It was better than I thought and my daughter really like it. They have tables so you can dine in. They also have two pool tables next door and area for a band to play. I'm definitely going back for the bbq nachos, loaded potato, and fried pork skins.

TERRIBLE!!! Pulled Pork Sandwich was full of fat and not very good. Fries also had no taste. Got an order to go and threw away most of it. Won't be back!!

I've been here twice. Both times the BBQ was phenomenal. I live 17 miles away and worth the drive. Brisket is extremely tender. Also didn't have chunks of fat some places try to sneak in. Stuffed Baked potato is at least two meals. My 12 year old daughter loved it. She said it was the best BBQ she has had in GA. Reminds me of the BBQ in Texas when we lived there. Will be out new spot!

Giving great review because foods great. But you never have cole slaw or potato salad available. Get that down pat and you got something good. Hate driving all the way there to not get sides.

Overcooked potato and food was warmed up was extremely too hot says it was not but I watched them Do it

The food here was delicious. I highly recommend this place. And Eddy, our server was the best. Very kind and helpful. We sat outside so that our little dog could be with us. It was lovely.

Amazing and flavorful food. Always a hit with out of town visitors and for Thanksgiving turkey.

Pros: Loaded brisket baked potatoe 10/10 French fries 10/10 Baked beans 10/10 Mac and Cheese 10/10 Cheeseburger 10/10 Smoked Chicken 9.5/10 The staff was lovely 10/10 Cons: This is an obvious one; but nachos are meant to be eaten in the restaurant. Depending on your travel time the chips can get pretty soggy. Flavor wise 8.5/10.

Big Smokey's is great! We had take-out last week and the Ribs were fall off the bone amazing! The Brisket was delicious! The green beans were great as well. The staff at Big Smokey's was very helpful and nice! We will definitely be going back to Big Smokey's!

OH MY WORD!!! This is the best food I've NEVER had, because I've NEVER had anything this good! We had the brisket plate with green beans and fries and a pork plate with macaroni and BBQ beans. Do yourself a favor and order everything they have! Guaranteed you will not be sorry! This could be the best BBQ we have in this state, and possibly in this nation!! Somebody's grandmother should be super proud because she passed along a green bean recipe that is out of this world. If you get the opportunity to meet Ashley or Chef Ray count yourself lucky those are some amazing people! Thank you thank you thank you, Ashley and Chef Ray. This lunch was amazing.

The food was good, but overpriced for the portions we received. The atmosphere was uncomfortable and the server definitely didn't want to be there. Won't return.

Best barbecue in Woodstock hands down, the portions are fat, the meat is always seasoned perfectly and juicy. The chef/owner is always making the food so you can really taste the care for the food I've had the brisket and pork sandwich and both were stacked so tall with meat you can barely pick up the sandwich let alone put it in your mouth! The sides are delicious we've tried the Mac and cheese the fries the collards and the potato salad. The atmosphere is cool they are planning on setting up a patio and a full bar this is a great addition to down town Woodstock and I recommend you get out here and try it!

Great food. Huge portions. Friendly staff. Quick service. What more could you ask for?!

If you haven't been to Big Smokey's BBQ yet, you don't know what you're missing. We've been meaning to come and try it since they've opened but finally got here. Great, friendly service and some of the BBQ I've ever had. We got the smoked chicken plate and the beef brisket plate and sides of Mac and Cheese (awesome) and green beans and nothing disappointed. We'll be putting Big Smokey's on the rotation!

Went there tonight and ordered smoked sausage and got this. AND they left off the corn on the cob. $18.00. Never going again. Out of salads and desserts. Cut up hotdogs with two slices of white bread.

Great food. Wife had the chopped brisket and I had ribs. Excellent meat, well smoked and not dried out. Only 2 sauces but that was all we needed. Excellent sides too. We had the baked beans, mac & cheese and potato salad. Everything was good. Definitely will be going back.

Wow! What a nice hidden gem to find. Took my son to get a haircut next door and grabbed a quick bite. This place is outstanding. We tried the pulled pork and burger. Both delicious. Bummed I didn't get pictures but will be adding this place to my new routine.

Really excellent food and customer service! I ordered the combo plate with coleslaw, Mac and cheese, brisket, and smoked sausage. I like that the coleslaw was the "fresh big and chunky" kind instead of other places where it's chopped so finely it's becomes a mushy mess. IYKYK. There was more than enough food and everything tasted great!

Melt in your mouth deliciousness. Big Smokies is by far the best barbecue I think I've ever had. I've had a Lot of barbecue in my life. Everything from the ribs to the brisket to the collar greens Full of flavor and absolutely delicious. The meat just melts in your mouth. I can't stand fat and I even ate it all. I don't write very many reviews but this place deserves its credit. Wow. Thank you so much for opening up down the street from my house I'll be eating here at least once a week. If I could give you 100 stars I would.

The food was nasty and tasted like they bought it at a grocery store. I ordered the peach cobbler, it was watery and tasted like it had been put in the microwave. I would rather eat dog food than here ever again! Worst food I've ever had!

The smoked meats are good but everything else says fast food. The pulled pork plate comes with two plain pieces of bread. The Mac n cheese was similar to Kraft instant. My wife's fries were good but again on par with fast food but at restaurant price. Two bbq plates with drinks were $40 plus a tip that we regretted paying for fast food. Our drinks were delayed for about 10 minutes after meal was ready due to lack of ice. The women's bathroom was closed so everyone used the same one and it was out of paper towels. On a positive note, they used clean food prep and the people were friendly.

My husband and I found this place by accident. When we were ordering, the lady at the register was great. I asked her what the most tender meat on the menu was, and she said the brisket. I asked about the Mac and cheese also, if they made it there. She said Yes. So, I had the sliced brisket and Mac and cheese. I will say, the brisket was SO TENDER and juicy! Perfect amount of smokiness! But the Mac and cheese...the best I've ever had! It had a bit of seasoning, not sure what, not overwhelming...just...rich! My husband had the ribs, the meat fell off the bones! They slice the meat when you order, so it doesn't sit and get dry. It was amazing and we're definitely going back! 5 stars on both food AND service!

!!!! The Mac and cheese was magical! The chicken was amazing! And the green beans were fabulous!

Closing time on door says 9:00. Showed up at 8:40 and the doors were locked. If you want to eat hear at night, you better show up by 8. They just lost a regular customer...

Great spot! The loaded potato is a favorite for sure! Tried the "crack cake" today and it was phenomenal also!

Outstanding barbecue. Had pulled pork and chicken. French fries were a hit. All the food came out hot and was delicious. Highly recommend

Fantastic Food! The Brisket: This is my "gateway meat" when trying a new BBQ restaurant. If they get the brisket right it's hard to mess up the rest. Big Smokey took one of the toughest, fattiest, collagen-filled pieces of meat, cut from the underside of a cow and slow-smoked and sliced it to a flavorful, succulent, tender, gustatory experience, presenting with a beautiful smoke ring. The Ribs: fall off the bone deliciousness kissed with Old Smokey's delicious sauce with a well-balanced smokiness. The bones didn't disappoint. Perfectly clean at the finish. The Pork Rinds: They were still popping in in the brown paper bag when I got them home. Seasoned with Magic Dust these are some of the best chicharrones I've experienced lately. We will be stopping by frequently just to bring these home for a delicious snack. Then, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the staff. My order was taken by Ashley. She was very knowledgeable and encouraging about the product she was peddling. She heartily vouched, and accurately so, for how delicious the food is. The other staff, I wish that I had gotten their names, were wonderfully engaging as well. Tonight was a meat-only experience with no sides to review, but I look forward to trying them in the near future along with some billiards and live music.

The food...chefs kiss BEST bbq place around no questions asked. The meat is so juicy!! Definitely will be coming back!!!

Best barbecue we've had in a while! Great brisket (sandwich)! Huge loaded baked potato with pulled pork! Baked beans and collard greens were excellent! Everything was delicious! Portions were large enough for leftovers! Go check them out next yo the Goodwill on Bells Ferry! We ordered online through the Toast Takeout app! Sorry no pic, it was just too good!

I drove over to this establishment, ordered the pork sandwich and macaroni and cheese. The pork sandwich was cold and chewy. That means the barbecue is old as far as the macaroni and cheese. It was piping hot, but definitely tasted like Velveeta box macaroni and cheese. However, the restaurants very clean, but I went there for barbecue, not cleanliness.

My son in law trained as a new employee for 3 days (10-12 hrs a day) and then quit because of the rude way the owner Ray spoke to him. He went to get his paycheck Wednesday and was told to come back Friday when paychecks come out. He returned on a Friday and was told he wasn't going to be paid for training those 30+ hours cause he (Ray) doesn't have to pay him and that if he wanted his money he had to come back with the police. Mind you my son in law just turned 19. Terrible way to run a business and treat someone. When Ray saw my Fb review he called my son in law and threatened to sue him for $500 if I didn't take it down. How about pay my son in law for all the work he did ?

Their food was really good going down, but after about 30-45 minutes, we were all sick including my 1 year old. We were either puking or had diarrhea. We called to let them know and they said there was NOTHING they could do, we spent $74 all for them to say that since no one else has complained, they can't do anything. First time customer, spent almost $100 and nothing done at all. Would not recommend at all.

Great food but not very "family" friendly. No high chairs, changing area in the bathroom or things like that. Not a ton of room to sit. I'd order out next time. Very good bbq though!

Don't know if it is good yet, but an extra $2.00 for sliced brisket!? Everybody knows brisket should come sliced. Better be great food at $22.25 for a plate with 2 sides and piece of bread. So I get home, open the box and got no sauce that I specifically requested. Very disappointed.

I'm not really sure what direction this place is going in? My first visit last month was amazing!!! This time it was extremely disappointing! I ordered a half a pound of ribs and a half a pound of brisket, sliced not chopped. The ribs were the size of rib tips and chopped and mixed together. They were also undercooked and very chewy. The brisket, ugh, was two small slices over a handful of chopped brisket??? Not really sure if they ran out of sliced and just didn't tell me or what? Plus they apparently charge and extra $2.00 for sliced??? Wtf? They are very slow as well. I'm not sure why it takes him so long to put meat in a to go box. Good luck guys this might have been my last time unfortunately. There is too much competition out there to screw up.

This was our second time visiting, and thought it wouldn't be our last. Unfortunately that is not the case. The brisket sandwich was very soggy and there were pieces of the brisket that were half raw - not the smoke ring either. Most definitely raw in many pieces of the meat. Taste was also way off from our prior visit. Also ordered the smoked sausage. It didn't look it taste like any smoked sausage that I've had before. More like smoked hot dog slices. Also ordered fries, which I was told would be right out but never got them after waiting at least 10 minutes. Not sure why this day was such a miss - #disappointed

Didn't know what to expect. Fast service and the food was excellent. I've never been a big bbq fan but this place was absolutely awesome. Gotta give it a try if you're close by.

Wow! I was so lucky Ray decided to stay open today since it was raining earlier. His food truck, Big Smokey's BBQ, popped up on New Chastain and Canton Rd. and I decided to try it as a snack. First off, Ray is super friendly and we got to talking about BBQ. He comes from Texas and he brought that great Texan BBQ flavor with him. Of course I had to get the chopped beef, which was the brisket, that I feel Texas is famous for and woowee is it good! The meat was so tender and juicy, which is something a lot of Georgia BBQ joints just don't get right since they cut all of the fat off. Ray also puts his own special dry rub on that doesn't overpower the meat with saltiness or too much spice, but rather accentuates the natural flavor. He also makes his own sauce, both spicy and regular, which were very good mixed. This is possibly the best chopped brisket sandwich I've had in a very long time and I'd love to get a platter of just sliced brisket next time with some sides. Unfortunately we will all have to wait patiently as Ray gets his operations rolling since he just got started here with his wife. I can't wait to have their full menu like they do at their original Texas restaurant. They will have collard greens, mac n cheese, fried chicken, and the thing I am most excited about: fried ribs! Ray's BBQ truck is only open on Saturdays near Jake's fireworks off Bells Ferry Rd. And on Sundays at the Canton rd and New Chastain rd crossing near the Jamaican restaurant Coconutz. If you happen to be nearby, I highly recommend stopping by for a bite. Tell Ray The Oguni sent you!* [wink wink smiley face] (*Just so you know, doing this will get you nor myself anything.)

Food was great but not really kid friendly, not much dining space and no high chairs.

Some of the best brisket I've had in a really long time. Super tender, Smoky but not too smoky. Nice smoke ring, moist, and a very healthy portion. Pay $2 extra for sliced, but totally worth it to me. Collards cooked with fatback, a little salty, but overall great. Sauce was really good, mild and spicy. Staff was super friendly, Tried the magic dust pork rinds too and was not disappointed. Can't wait to go back on a Friday or a Saturday and give the beef ribs a try.

I had heard very good things about their bbq and decided to try it for lunch. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top. When it came up, which was super quick, I was shocked at how much meat was on the sandwich. There was three inches of packed, juicy, delicious smoked pork on that bun. This did not include the coleslaw which was divine. Their sauces were medium and spicy. They were so good I mixed them and put them on my sandwich. I will definitely go back and include a picture next time. Btw, the brisket he was slicing for another customer looked delicious, juicy, and tender. The portions were generous and the prices were great!

The food was delicious!! The service was really good, everyone was friendly and they explained the menu. The restaurant was clean. We went for my Mother's Day dinner and will definitely be back.

I stopped by for takeout today for the first time. It was a 5/5 experience! We ordered pulled pork sandwiches. We are very picky about our barbecue and it was great!!!! The pork was moist, flavorful, and the serving was very generous. It was dinner time and the place was hopping. The service was friendly and they were hustling. I think it is a small business and we wish them well. Keep up the delicious menu offerings and the excellent service...you'll have a successful business! Definitely worth a drive! See you next week!
