I don't know why all the bad reviews but we had Smokey's twice while at Timber Ridge, and both times it was great. We only had breakfast, but the prices were good, the food was REALLY good, and the service was wonderful. Our server, Steven, went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed, and was really great with the kids. I was nervous to eat here due to the poor reviews, but there wasn't really another option for breakfast. I'm glad we gave it a shot because it was great! Kids loved the s'mores pancakes and my breakfast sandwich was pretty amazing. I wouldn't believe all of the negative reviews, it was a great place for breakfast, especially with no other options!
Hands down best cornbread I have ever had. They put some brown sugar glaze on top. It was awesome! They even made thier croutons out of cornbread (also awesome). The brisket and parmesan greenbeans were good. Only change I would suggest is they make thier own bbq sauce, it would make the experience that much better.
The brisket is tough, dry, and flavorless. The "hot links" tasted like a bland polish sausage. They were cut in half lengthwise and grilled, which dried them to a jerky texture. The "poutine" had no cheese curds, only nacho sauce and very little meat. I only gave it 2 starts because the waitress was polite and we didn't get food poisoning.
Tried 3 times to eat here. All 3 times had issues to the point we never ate here. Everything from being closed for lunch or out of food. Please don't open your doors if you don't want any business!
I was massively disappointed in the brisket. It was completely dried out, not terribly flavorful, and I don't believe it was smoked that day. In fact, I strongly suspicion it was microwaved. We got there right when they opened for dinner, too - so I expected fresh out of the smoker. Given the dryness and time we showed up, perhaps it was something they didn't sell from the night before?
Other diners in our party had similarly dry food: the kid's chicken strips were over breaded and very dry, the bbq chicken was very dry, and pork sandwich was somewhat dry (but less so than the other items). The salmon was the only thing that seemed like it was cooked properly.
Based on our experience there, we opted to eat offsite the rest of our stay.
It was ok. Awesome Staff. But really Bad servings of the food. They need some work..
The Burnt Ends Appetizer was big enough for a meal very delicious, and the Ceasar Salad was too. Ordered Breakfast was great here too. The Server's were friendly, and accurate. Loved it!
3 other familys of 4 in for breakfast an we ordered pancakes and waffles and hour and 15 and still no food. Decent food terrible service they work more on the takeout orders then they do the sit ins
Waited over an hour for food. Saw our waitress once to take order. Gave up and served ourselves coffee because no one bothered to come by. Checked on our order after hour and 15 min. Was told ours hadn't been started yet and we were next. Restaurant was by no means full. Finally served our food and was told our order of bacon would take even longer would we substitute something. Manager and wait staff were indifferent to all complaints. We were by no means alone in our experience. Just plain poorly run with marginal quality food at best.
