Just tried Smoque takeaway. 640pm & place was quite busy. Hub got sliced brisket sand., slaw, which I advised against from reading it wasn't very good, & beans. I got pulled pork sand., mac-n-cheese & slaw. Well, slaw never made it in the bag, so can't comment. Will e-mail to let them know.
Table of 3 complained that they'd been waiting for 25 minutes & no food. Young tall man, assume he's one of the owners, apologized more than once, said working out the kinks, & was very apologetic. Other man, shorter-assume other owner apologized as well. They ended up with gift certificates for the wait. Nice save I thought.
Nice space, friendly service.
I don't know nuthin' bout bbq, but I was very happy with what I had. Pork was very juicy, & had a nice smoky flavor. Large portion, good bread. Sauce slightly vinegary, with a little kick. I would have preferred slightly more sour & heat. Mac n Cheese, creamy-slightly grainy, not bad. Everything could've been hotter temp-wise, as we live less than a mile from pickup. Hub liked his brisket just fine. Same as pork. Juicy, nice smoke. He liked the beans. mildly spicy, lotsa onion.
We will be back, but I think we will wait a bit before returning. Line staff seemed confused, which I think contributed to 2 missing sides & everything not being hot enough. All in all, a great big yum.
oh, hub asked for a 1/4 slab taste of the st. louis ribs & was told that they were too soft & owner said they weren't going to serve them..snaps for that too.
