Don't let the name fool you - it's not a BBQ joint like "smokehouse" would suggest and Hubbard's absolutely right that it's claim to fame is the bar and band scene on the weekends - they have some decent rock and cover bands that play there. It's a great place to see a band, dance, have a few cocktails and watch the Weirs Beach fireworks, but you are likely to be disappointed with the service and the food.

They have a Saturday Prime Rib buffet which can be very good, but it's $18.95 and if you happen to be there when the Rib is near the end, it can be a loooong wait for a new one. The beef and au jus is very tasty and there's also some BBQ pork, chicken, and other sides as well as a salad bar, but it's so hit or miss that you may want to go with one of the other suggestions here on the forum.

I go often as my neighbor is quite friendly with the owner (and it's close to our homes) so when we go, we get seemingly better treatment, but if not for him, I wouldn't bother to eat there at all.
