The Smoke Company BBQ — Restaurant in Lawrenceburg

I was dreaming of a loaded baked potato all day long. I checked Google and found this place. The owners were super nice however, the food leaves a lot to be desired. EVERYTHING was spicy. Now, I love spicy food but, not currently as I'm going through cancer recovery. That being said, good barbecue should never be drenched in spices. Good barbecue is all about the flavor of the meat. You can't taste the meat at this place because it's drenched in spices and sauce. In the food business, this is usually a bad sign. The potato could have been great if the pork on it had been plain and not soaked in barbecue sauce. The meatloaf is spicy, the brisket is spicy, The only thing that wasn't spicy was the mac and cheese, it could have actually used some seasoning, salt and pepper, please. The fried cornbread was dry. I'm really disappointed. I really wanted to like this place. I hate that I spent almost $50 on food that I should have been able to eat but, couldn't because it was too spicy. Also, if you're in a wheelchair or want to go somewhere that has handicapped parking or accessibility, this is not the place for you. Hopefully, I can find a decent BBQ joint close to home that doesn't cover up the flavor of their meats but, this place just ain't it.

It wasn't just me. My boyfriend who has zero issues and loves spicy food said that it was all too spicy and we are talking spicy hot. He said that the only thing that was even remotely good were the beans.

side note I never said that I wasn't sure of what I could eat because of my taste buds. I said that I am in cancer recovery and have no teeth or dentures at the moment and that I recently had an esophagus dialation which makes food...

I love this place! I’m there at least once a week and sometimes more. There are several menu items I rotate, but love everything I’ve tried! Jalapeño coleslaw is my favorite so I always get 2! The chicken wrap, baked potato (easily 2 meals), brisket, ribs….they’re just all so amazing. Fast service considering how popular they are, sometimes a crowd! I can’t wait to enjoy the indoor seating which I hear will be soon. I highly recommend you stop by,...

I will begin by saying that I'm on the carnivore diet, so I could not eat any of the carbohydrate based dishes, so this review only speaks to the various meats. They are DELICIOUS! The service was excellent and they allowed us to order a sampling of their various meat dishes. We were pleasantly surprised. The next bourbon trail tour will also include a stop back here, for sure! It's currently take out only but hopefully they'll get the seating...
