Smokehouse Grill
The Smokehouse Grill is an award winning authentic Southern BBQ restaurant voted the Best in Orlando by readers of Orlando Magazine and AOL City Guide. Also awarded the Best BBQ Award at the 2008 Gatlinburg Rib Fest. Featuring slow cooked brisket, smoked in our Southern Pride smokers for over 14 hours and our St. Louis Style ribs smoked for 5 hours. The steaks at the Smokehouse are hand cut just for us and seasoned with our own recipe. Breakfast at the Smokehouse is a family favorite offering an array of unique pancakes including the "off the chart" Red Velvet and Banana Split pancakes. Don"t forget to try our homemade Brisket Hash.

"The food and the service were very good. It was timely and not a long drawn out sequence of drinks, appetizers, main course desert and chasing down the waiter for the bill. The waiter was attentive and helpful. The food was done properly and served in a appetizing fashion."

"Waiter we had seemed like he would rather not be there. Only one bottle of Cab in the house so if you are a wine person.......food was okay but delivery made it not as enjoyable. Bartender, made a good martini but he was not a very "jolly" guy so no chit chat offered."

"Not great. Very heavy fatty food. I was very excited to have the award winning brisket but the slice I received was not only cold but had a 3 inch square slab of fat on it. Gross.The server was nice and attentive but overall it was not a great experience."

"Sadly we were not impressed. My husband sent his steak back and by the time he got a new one he was eating alone as I'd had to get on with mine or it would have gone cold. It was noisie and full of unruliness, with kids running in and out of the games room. The music was too loud to carry out a conversation.
We are prepared to give it one more chance......."

"Not bad of a restaurant for its particular location. We did have a big group of 12 people. Nonetheless, we did not see our waitress too much, though she was extremely friendly. Our kids of varying ages did enjoy their food greatly."
