Smoke BBQ Restaurant & Bar

Very unique one off BBQ joint. Indoor and outdoor seating very nicely done. Very friendly staff. I wanted to get tea in my cup and she took it back and washed it for me. Wow! To top it all off they had Brunswick Stew. For those that fellow me. I'm from Georgia and Virginia BBQ restaurants don't carry God's great side. I don't know why. Anyway worth checking out of.

Ok AMAZING service. Bar tender was taking care of the whole restaurant single-handedly - that guy was awesome. However, that was literally the worst brisket I've ever had. Dry, tasted like old roast beef. Pig skins were decent. Price was high. Bench seats were wicked uncomfortable. Too bad, this place used to be one of my go-tos!

The food was amazing! Some of the best barbecue we’ve had since moving here! Everything came out relatively quick and all hot and tasted fresh. Alyssa was amazing! She was very knoweledgeable with the menu, and helped us with our indecisiveness. She did not steer us wrong, she provided excellent suggestions and made sure we finished our meal with a serving of banana pudding which was amazing. Alyssa was friendly and cheerful and just really made our visit spectacular.. we will be back to see her!

Logan was amazing server on the outside patio he was very nice and attentive to our request, the outdoor patio is very calm quiet and not alot of noise for being beside Warwick. Thank you to Logan , Update we went again last night 9.14.25 and another gentleman took our table when he didn't have to due to our server being busy . We really Appreciate him letting us know and being very knowledgeable of the menu, thank you to him and the hostess for being amazing and the staff was wonderful .

Happened to be in NN and was looking for a quick lunch with outdoor seating. We were very lucky to stumble upon Smoke. We were immediately seated in the sunniest section of the patio as requested. It took our server, Na-Na, less than 30 seconds to greet us and take our drink order. Mind you, this was a busy afternoon on a crowded patio. We ordered the mozzarella sticks to start. The cheese pull was impeccable. We also got the nachos and a brisket sandwich. The nachos were fire and the brisket was juicy and piled high. Even if the food wasn’t incredible, which it was, i wouldn’t have been mad because Na-Na was so great. She was super friendly. Attentive, but not overly so. She was so on the ball and just a pleasure to meet. Can not recommend this place enough. I hope to be back in Newport News soon so I have an excuse to go back.

Staff was on point—fast, friendly, and knew the menu like pros. We grabbed a spot outside, and the vibe was perfect. Laid-back, shaded, and yes—our dog got treated like royalty. We tried the smash burgers and their spicy garlic fries. Unreal. Crispy, juicy, just the right amount of heat. Finished it off with their house-made lemonade, which somehow made everything taste even better. We’re not even local, but this place just made our "worth the drive" list. Coming back for brunch next time.

Honestly the service was poor. I asked for an iced tea and received it. As the meal took longer than expected (which was ok not disappointed by that) I requested a refill. Three separate times the waiter walked by slapping his head saying "oh I forgot ". On the third time an also ordered dessert a cheesecake. That is when I finally got my refill. The brisket Philly was (look at the picture) overcooked to the point of being burnt. The cheesecake was the best part of the meal (for $10 a slice it better be good) I will try again but I had to share my most recent experience
