Smokehouse 227 — Restaurant in Gadsden

Well, it’s Revu-a-Holic Time. Also, happy New Years!!!! I had to write this review before the end of month. Why? To start the year off with fresh new places to go and see. Plus, who wants to be jinx sitting at home? When it’s something to be discovered every day. The first eatery I visited this 2025 year was Smoke House 227. When I see this business name, what comes to mind is the 1980’s show 227. In my head I hear the song “There's No Place Like Home Theme” by Jackée Harry. Back to the subject. I had a taste for barbecue due to pregnancy cravings. My friend that stays out my way referred me to this location. I must admit the barbecue was not overly seasoned which is 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾.

Traveling distance from home is 15 minutes Parking may be a hassle. The restaurant is in downtown Gadsden. Parking may be limited during lunch hours.

Cons:

As for the sauce, it does differentiate from other brands when it comes to sense of taste. For example, the flavor has a sweet and zesty kick. A downside is I prefer thickened sauce. Theirs is a little aqueous.

Menu appearance such as the design is basic...

We walked in and were greeted by the staff. We dined in. We were seated immediately. The wait staff was personable and attentive. We ordered the catfish with their secret seasoning okra and sweet potato casserole and the whole wings with fried corn on the cob and fries. The food was outstanding. We did a 2 for $20 special, which is quite affordable; however, it did not include drinks. Drinks turned out to be quite pricey at $3.99 each. They were flavored lemonades and tasted really good. We did receive free refills and grabbed some to-go. They also had dessert, but we were full. We will be visiting this...

My husband and I went here because we heard so many good review's, he ordered the smoked wings, and I ordered the lamb chops, mac & cheese and the fried okra. the smoked wings were tiny but were enjoyable. the lamb chops on the other hand could use improvement, they were smaller than expected, and tasted a bit freezer burned, the mac and cheese was bland but the okra was DELICIOUS!! the pepsi products (we ordered cranberry juice and strawberry lemonade) were $4 each which i did find a little extreme. The atmosphere was great and the host was friendly but that’s not enough to bring...
