Smoque BBQ

Smoque BBQ Review

The sweet smoky aroma wafting out of this casual barbecue spot always attracts a crowd. While the line to order at the counter starts out the door on weekends, it moves quickly as chowhounds catch up on neighborhood news. If you can't make up your mind between brisket or shredded pork shoulder (both tender and cooked for about 14 hours), order the half-and-half—a sandwich with half of each. Or try a slab of ribs. A side of vinegar-spiked slaw, rich baked beans, and corn bread round out the meal, and kids love the creamy mac and cheese. Smoque is BYOB, so pick up a beer or two before arriving if desired.
