Just off Route 14 near Geneva, Smokin’ Petes is where your barbecue cravings go to be gloriously fulfilled—and possibly smoked into a food coma. But if indecision at mealtime is your weakness, Smokin’ Pete’s just might be your greatest challenge—and your greatest reward.

We went all in with the three-meat combo—brisket, pulled pork, and ribs—with a couple sides (omg the smoked gouda mac and cheese) and a wing order for good measure. No regrets.

I want to rate it a mid to high 3 but that's not an option so I rounded up.

The service was wonderful, friendly and fast, 5 out of 5. the beer list had a good variety and im not into the dark liquors but they had a nice cabinet with some good presentation with lots of choices.

I would be happy to eat here again but I would not order the same things.

I got the Pete's trio with jc sausage and beans, took a pie home and split a loaded tots with my table.

The ribs, tots and beans were amazing, fully belive the tots won awards and the ribs and beans are in the running for best I've ever had. 6 out of 5

The corn bread was good but was lacking in the butter department, if it was lathered up it would have been great (I admittedly did not ask for more) 3.5 out of 5

I dont think they make the pies to be fair but while it was good the crust was burned. 3 out of 5

The brisket wasn't bad per se but was pretty dry, it could have been the piece of meat but thats their job to recognize and adjust to the meat they got 2 out of 5

I took 2 bites of my whole sausage and threw the rest out. It wasn't worth eating. 0 out of 5

Knowing what I do now I could put together a meal of exclusively excellent stuff and I will be doing so...

I had never eaten here before today. They had the option of take out or dine in. We opted foe dine in at a comfy booth. I had the 2 meat combo, with brisket and half a chicken. The brisket didn't need a knife to be cut, it was that tender. And the flavor? O!M!G!!!!! It melted in my mouth!!!! The half a chicken, I figured I'd grab the leg bone and pull the whole thing in half. The leg bone popped right out! The bbq sauce on the chicken was absolutely perfect, a tiny bit of heat with amazing flavors. Just like the brisket, the chicken was that tender and that juicy too. Just, OMG all over again. The corn bread that came with the meal had a sweet flavor to it. Seriously, the corn bread felt like I was eating a dessert!! Garlic parm sweet potatoes, I can't wait to come back here for more those next time too! My other half tried the ribs, 1 of which she gave to me. If you haven't gotten the hint already, do I really need to say how juicy, tender, and flavorful that was?!? I WILL come back again to try the rest of the menu, as many visits as it may take. Less than 10 minutes south of Geneva, and worth every second of the drive time to get...
