Excellent, Food really good variety. I had their chicken. .. it was delicious Great service the ambience really nice and clean would definitely recommend

Our server was excellent. I needed a shot of pickle juice and she obliged right away and knew what I needed it for. (Leg cramp) We started with a plate of Burnt Ends and they were fantastic. I had the brisket plate with mac and cheese and corn bread for sides. The brisket literally fell apart and melted in my mouth. I wish it was a little more pink but I still recommend it. My son had the chicken plate with green beans and deviled eggs. He absolutely loved the deviled eggs. And I decided I'm getting the green beans next time. They were crisp and very flavorful. Plus there were fried onions with them. We both thoroughly enjoyed our dinners. The vibe is cool and very laid back.

The food here is delicious and portions are generous so there's always leftovers. Ordered ribs and brisket with fries, tater tots, and mac and cheese. The meat was juicy and tender and they have a variety of sauces to go with it. Fries and tots were crisp and nicely seasoned and mac was cheesy with a crispy panko crust. Servers are really nice and will give recommendations when asked.

After many years living in OC, and even across the street for a short time, we finally made it to Smoqued! I'm often skeptical of bbq beyond the south, but Smoqued delivered. We got the 4 meat combo and it was plenty of food for 2 adults to feel stuffed and have leftovers. The kids meal is also solid, with great portions for $12. Our server was delightful and very attentive, though it did seem like she had a few too many tables to attend to compared to her colleagues. The ambiance feels like very local vibes, with regulars sitting at the bar, and lots of groups there for weeknight dinners. HAPPY HOUR is from 3-6 Mon-Fri, but only has $8 apps, and a selection of around 4-5 options. I'd love to see some discounts on drinks as well in the future. Overall we felt like Smoqued was great quality food at a great value and we'd love to come back!

Location: by the Orange Circle. Street Parking in front or nearby. There are also parkings in the back. Combination Plates - 4 Meats ($38) plus $5 Steak additional + 2 sides + 2 cold white breads. Meats were all delicious - very tender, fall-off the bones Ribs, Brisket Steak, Brisket and Sausage. Sides - I chose Candied Bacon and mashed potatoes. Meats were very flavorful, and I did not need to add any sauces. Carnivore all the way tonight! lol. No veggies (well except potatoes). First time tasting Candied Bacons - definitely getting it again. Mashed potatoes were very good also. I wish they have those freshly bake dinner rolls like Texas Road House - that'd be heavenly perfect pairing with the meats. Two pieces of bread they served seemed like regular white breads straight out of the bag - no toast or warm up at all. The inside was surprisingly spacious and clean. Very nice decors lights hanging. Front staff was very friendly. No wait. Waitress forgot to bring us knife to cut our meats. Then I realized waitress also forgot white breads that come with the order. I had to ask for these items. Other than these two minor mishaps, the overall experience was good since the deliciously meats made up for it.
