   Been a customer since Smoked opened. Very disappointed. Seated on bar side with bartender as server. Beer was served in a warm glass that must have just come out of dishwasher. Salsa with chips has changed from what was a very fresh tasting salsa that seemed made on site to something that tastes like something n a jar at the grocery store. Wife’s brisket dip sandwich was very light on brisket and the “artisan roll” with my chicken sandwich was just like the hamburger rolls I get at Giant. Finally, we used to order takeout as often as visiting resteraunt but they now want 1.5 hours for take out tells me they don’t really want take out orders. Sad to see a good local business fade.

   Husband said wings were salty but good. I got the smoked chicken nachos which were good.

   My wife and I went to the restaurant prior to the Hershey Bears game. My wife ordered the chicken tacos and I ordered the Tex-Mex salad. She also ordered a beer. When the chicken tacos came out, the amount of chicken on them was greatly lacking. They contained more onions then chicken. My wife mentioned it to the server, and he stated that they had changed some menu items along with some portion sizes. He then brought her out some additional chicken to put on her tacos. My Tex-Mex salad was average, though it did contain plenty of chicken. The other thing about the experience was that the restaurant was not busy at all, but it took 30 minutes to receive our two entrees which is a quite long. Also, at our first visit to this restaurant a year or two ago were ordered the brisket and it was extremely fatty. Unfortunately after two visits, we will likely not been returning to this restaurant.

   Service was very slow. Food was good but were out of things. Alabama white sauce is delicious! I got the Texas born baker, a delicious massive baked potato but not nearly enough toppings for size of the potato. I couldn’t see or taste any bacon that was supposed to be on it and I asked for jalapeños on it which they charged extra for. Very little cheese sauce. My spouse had macaroni and cheese as one of his sides, while it was good, there was only about 4 bites of it.

   We ate there in the past this time the brisket sucked no smoke flavor , they bake there Mac & cheese now not smoked. They switched waitresses on us before are meal came out and the next girl had our food all mixed up. She blamed the cook for having a medical emergency had to go to hospital. Does not a good night probably won’t be back.

   Hi Gary, thanks for the feedback. We use the same process with the brisket. Sorry yours didn’t have as smoky of a flavor as last time. We never smoked the mac and cheese. The cheese we used in the mac and our cheese sauce was smoked and still is. Same ingredients, we just bake it now because we like the flavor and consistency better. And yes, our chef had an allergic reaction to shellfish and had to go to the hospital during service. We do apologize this impacted your meal but he is doing OK now. Thanks for reaching out!

   We go to Smoked about once a year when my daughter gets a craving for their nachos. Sunday night was very quiet, the restaurant was considerably less than half full. Smoked has a decent beer on-tap list, and we had a nice Lost Trails IPA. The nachos and Caesar salad were good, my chili was just okay. I was hungering for a burger, and got the house burger, but it was really greasy. My wife said her pulled brisket sandwich was okay, but the cheese was "gloppy". Service was excellent.

   Very good food. Great atmosphere. Decent drinks. They definitely need to hire a host & maybe another server. It took a minute to be greeted & sat. However everything else was perfect!

    The waitress seemed overly busy and took care of the other guests before my table.

    We are glad you enjoyed the food! When we are very busy like we were Friday night, sometimes servers get sat two tables at or around the same time. They may not have known that you were sat first and we do apologize that they went to another table first! Please reach out to us so we can figure out which table you were at and address with your server. Thank you!
