Smoked meats, craft cocktails, weekend brunch, and creative sides
"When he’s not collecting awards at local barbecue competitions, chef and owner Andrew Darneille is usually up well before sunrise prepping his meat to welcome hungry customers at this Clarendon hotspot. Smokecraft promises that every item on their menu is smoked, from the smoked avocado on deviled eggs to the Chesapeake smoked crab cakes and St. Louis-style ribs. Even sweet treats like chocolate brownie s’mores start with a cedar plank smoked brownie." - Tierney Plumb
"While it’s not unusual to find smoked dishes at a barbecue restaurant, chef Andrew Darnielle of Clarendon’s Modern Barbecue has created a standout menu with a wide variety of smoked meats, fruits, cheeses, and desserts. Try the smoked avocado deviled eggs, and end the night with a cedar-plank smoked brownie dessert. The theme also plays into the drinks menu, with drinks like the aptly-named Smoke on the Water cocktail mixed with bourbon, spiced honey, and bitters." - Missy Frederick
"Clarendon's barbecue spot offering all-day happy hour deals." - Tierney Plumb
"The appetizers at Andrew Darneille’s ambitious barbecue joint in Clarendon command attention. In addition to pork belly burnt ends coated in an apple glaze, Smokecraft serves a version of deviled eggs ($13.95) that uses smoked avocados to lighten up the yolk mixture and give it an unorthodox green color." - Tierney Plumb
