Tastefully Blessed Smokehouse & Catering — Restaurant in Springdale

We live 45 minutes away so I got quite a few things to try since we've been hearing how great their food is, we ordered pulled pork, brisket, ribs, smoke sausage, Cole Slaw, side salad, mac n cheese and of course corn bread! I kind of like them all equally! I'm usually all about pulled pork & theirs is excellent! I'm often iffy about brisket but theirs was lean, not too too smokey, very tender, I really liked it too! Those ribs, man, just twist and the bone comes out clean, IMO a bit heavy on the seasoning but that's just my personal preference to have a little lighter coating BUT then you probably wouldn't get the incredible bark/crust that they have, the rib meat was so so good! I'm never a fan of heavy on the vinegar sauces, I tasted theirs which they had just made that day as a new sauce, personally not a fan but again I never am! Now, I loved the House Black BBQ Sauce! I was dipping every bite in it and I usually eat my pulled pork & other bbq meats without any sauce or the tiniest drizzle! I think there is a fruit in it, maybe blackberries, idk it was unique in a good way IMO - my boyfriend wasn't a big fan of their sauce but he & I tend to like different sauces from each other, they put their sauce on the side so if you don't like it, use what you have at home! He said the sausage was different that any he's even had, not in a bad way, just a different twist on flavors. The mac n cheese is cheeeeesy and good! The Cole slaw is in more of a vinegar sauce I believe, it's not a creamy sauce. Their added touch of honey takes their corn bread up a notch! While there waiting on my to-go order a couple people order their salmon meals and salmon salads, sounds like they are big hits! They have a couple chicken dishes that sound really good too!!! Aside from excellent food, the owners were great about suggesting certain options to everyone I heard ordering and/or debating on what to get and it sounds like they have great plans on expanding the business which is a much needed and welcome addition...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 - Tastefully Blessed Smokehouse Lives Up to the Name

I’ve eaten a lot of BBQ in my life, but this place? Different level. Everything here tastes like it was made with purpose. The kind of slow-smoked, flavor-packed BBQ that makes you sit back mid-bite just to appreciate it. The beef ribs were massive and melt-in-your-mouth tender with that perfect smoky crust and deep bark. We were able to cut through them with a plastic fork and knife with ease, just unreal. The brisket was juicy, flavorful, and sliced like butter.

And don’t even get me started on the sandwiches. The Prime Brisket Grilled Cheese might be the best thing(sandwich) on the menu. Crispy, buttery bread packed with smoky brisket and melted cheese that oozes with every bite. It’s rich, messy in the best way, and worth every calorie. All the sandwiches are elite but this one stood out.

Then came the sides, specifically the Mac and Cheese. Calling it mac and cheese almost feels disrespectful, this was Anointed Mac. Creamy, rich, perfectly cheesy, and blessed with that homemade soul that hits you right in the comfort zone. I could’ve eaten a whole tray of that Mac. The flavors danced on your taste buds and left no question this was the best Mac and cheese I've ever had.

The other sides and sauces were on point as well, crispy seasoned fries, delicious buttery cornbread that was truly out of this world, and house-made sauces that actually elevate the meal instead of drowning it. The staff was friendly, the portions were generous, and the whole place just gives off that authentic, small-business pride that you can taste in every bite.

If you’re anywhere nearby, make the trip, if you're not nearby, still make the trip. Tastefully Blessed isn’t just good BBQ it’s a full-blown...

Honest review here, not sure if the others are being paid for their reviews or what. I placed an order online on September 27th, I ordered a whole chicken, greens, Mac and cheese and cornbread. I live about 30 minutes away but wanted to try this place due to the rave reviews that I’ve seen online. I go to the store to be told they’re out of meats and out of most sides besides greens and beans. I was not notified before making this 30 minute drive that the whole chicken that I ordered was gone and there was only a HALF of chicken and greens. I would not have wasted my time driving 30 minutes for just a half chicken and greens. I was told I would be refunded and NEVER got the refund for the missing food. Now onto the food I did receive:

Greens: salty as hell if you have high blood pressure you are surely going to have a stroke eating these. The container was like a sample container for a 9.99 large. A joke.

Chicken: so much pepper that as soon as I opened the container my daughter started sneezing. Once again ridiculously salty. Salty does not mean seasoned well or good.

Cornbread: good but Giant Eagle has good cornbread so this is nothing worthy of driving 30 minutes for.

I’m posting this review as a warning to others especially those who live far away, I watched several people get turned down because they were out of meats. Please do not waste your time and hard earned money here because clearly they can’t keep up with demands and clearly you don’t get refunded for food you...
