Smokey Que's

Great ribs, hushpuppies and sauces! The fried okra was perfect, not too salty but the green beans were very salty and mushy. I would go back and not get the green beans. Very tasty! Thank you!

We came in close to closing and felt bad but everyone was so so sweet and accommodating and the owner gave us his recommendations. Everything we got was amazing! I got the brisket and ribs and I haven’t had ribs this outstanding in YEARS. This was such a wonderful experience especially after the long day of hiking and traveling we had. When we visit NC again this is definitely on our list!

Fantastic BBQ. Wonderful service. A little pricey, but well worth it! The hush puppies are the best I’ve had in a long long time. The ribs were too!!

Stopped here on our way back from the falls. The chicken wings were fantastic, BIG, juicy and sauced well! My 10 year old ordered the kids rib plate and it was a huge portion! The salad bar had a lot of variety (peas, hard boiled eggs, beets, baby corn, imitation crab, black olives, ham, cheeses, pickles, etc) but the plate size is small. The BBQ sauce (Lexington sauce) is now my new favorite, not too spicy (I like heat) but a nice flavor. The collard greens were bland and the corn nuggets (deep fried cream of sweet corn) were great! Sweet is sweet and hospitality was wonderful! I even ordered an extra pint of sauce to go! Glad we stopped by, it's a good price and you get a lot of food, you won't leave hungry!

Looked up reviews before our mountain trip and found this gem. Stopped for lunch before we headed up the mountain. First, it was close to opening, and seating was easy. The service was great. Our waitress was on point and provided great service. At one point, she had a large table outside, and I assume it was the owner who came by and checked on us. The decor outside and in was great and spelled BBQ. My son loved the salad bar! I can admit, this was the freshest, best tasting fried Okra I've ever had. Wow. Only negative, and this is because NC is a battle. I'm an Eastern NC guy, and no sauce at the table was hot enough or had enough vinegar for me. Take that as you want, but you can't take this place off your list. Great smokey flavor and awesome atmosphere. Well done!

Our family of 10 had the BEST experience! We sat out on the patio and had a wonderful server that did us right! Food was soooo good and everything came out fast and hot. We will definitely be back.

After a day of hiking in Linville Gorge Wilderness trails we found Smokey Que's on our way back to Ashville and it really hit the spot. We absolutely over ordered and ended up with to go boxes from huge portions of shredded brisket, shredded smoked chicken thighs, pulled pork, pork ribs, and fried fish. Everything was awesome including the sides. Hush puppies were really tastee and we had one that looked like Alf (the TV show from the 80's). I would definitely eat here again.

The food's great and the service is super polite and helpful. My husband got the ribs, which are always a hit, and I had the pulled pork – it was so tender it practically melted. The vibe is cozy and the place is spotless. Prices are really fair for how much food you get, we usually have tons of leftovers to bring home.
