Service and dining experience where great for this family owned business. Food was good with large portion sizes. The meat was a little dry though and did not have as much smokey flavor as we hoped. The sides though made the experience and I would recommend this place if you’re passing through!

BBQ nachos were huge and more than enough to split! Definitely try the honey gold sauce. Potato salad was delicious as well!

Tried it for the 1st time today, excellent customer service from the owner's, not a long wait time either. I got the pulled pork sandwich with cole slaw, loaded potato salad with strawberry lemonade. Everything was delicious & fresh. I highly recommend the honey gold bbq sauce, it's killer! Would love to be able to buy a bottle of it! Will definitely be back!!

As a BBQ aficionado, I’ve had BBQ from all over and cooked in many different ways, so it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to BBQ. However, after trying Smokin Hot BBQ, I must admit, this is hands down some of the best BBQ I’ve experienced in the Memphis Metro area. From the pulled pork sandwich, smoked sausage, ribs, the potato salad to the bbq cabbage, it was all on point with their own unique touch. I highly recommend!

Talk about a hidden treasure! Decided to give them a try so glad I did. Tender and flavorful ribs great tasting beans and a surprise smoked cabbage and sausage side that was lip smacking good . I got my sauce on the side just in case I did not like it. There was none left . I got the regular bbq sauce they also offer a spicy . Don’t hesitate to give them a try!!!!!

Drive Thru only location. Someone spoke as soon as I pulled up and said you give them a second. Someone came out shortly and took my order. Food was ready after a short wait. Ordered the chicken nachos with tangy hot BBQ sauce and jalapenos. I was not disappointed. I have been looking for another place that has good BBQ nachos and I have found it. Everything was hot. The nachos were like $16 with tax but it's easily enough for two, maybe 3 people. The spice level is just right. I'll definitely be back to try more menu items.
