My wife and I have heard nothing but great things about Catch the Smoke BBQ. Glad to say it’s even better than what we’ve heard. We ordered the pulled pork and hot links. Cooked perfect, nicely portioned (including the sides). Potato salad was too. Highly recommend.

19June 2024 Delicious slow smoked meats! Tyler has a way with pork loin, ribs, hot links, pulled pork, and chopped brisket. It always comes out tender and juicy. I have eaten here many times and have never had a bad serving of meat. The sides of baked beans, green beans, and potato salad are just as big a home run as the meats. I heard recently he is going to expand and start adding chicken to the line up. As well as even open up for breakfast meals of some sort. Can’t wait to try them out!!! Right now I’m slipping into a meat induced coma. Thanks for another delicious meal Tyler! Recently found out Tyler has adjusted his hours, and will be open Friday nights, Saturdays and Sundays

The owner is the sweetest, he gave me a strawberry cheese cake cup and some toast. The portion sizes are amazing compared to the price! The last time I was here I got the caramel apple cheesecake and an Oreo cheesecake cup, and those were both delicious and the portions were very big, meaning I had leftovers! If you come here, the cheesecake is 10000% recommended (from a cheesecake lover)

Delicious. Good Lord, y'all, get on over here. I had to run some errands but didn't plan on getting out of the car so I just wore my pajama shorts. I went past places that were tempting but I had rice at home I was going to fry up. Then this jerk has a sign for a sandwich and side for $7. Had to pull a u-turn for this guy. So! Baked beans can concern me because many places put too much heat in them. My Crohn's Disease is not a fan of even green bell peppers, so I have to be really careful. These? Perfect. Even his sauce had me 'mmm'ing. Just that perfect bit of heat for my white guy limitations. I asked him to leave the honey mustard off but now I'm wishing I'd asked if he could put it on the side. The coleslaw, pickle, and sauce really work together beautifully. Next time I'm looking to pay regular price for some barbecue, I know where I'm going. --- Y'all, the caramel apple cheesecake is chopped apples, caramel, and graham crackers - and I am HERE for this. $4? All this? Yes.

Originally I was looking for a quick bite to eat to satisfy the craving for bbq, and I happened upon Catch The Smoke! I am soo glad the universe led me to find this spot! Location was easy to access, and not hard to find at all. I ordered the Loaded Baked Potato (comes with your choice of meat) Sour cream , bacon, cheese and bbq sauce. I am still amazed at the amount of food I got for the price. This is a one man show type of spot and I found out he’s all around the metro at local events sometimes so I’m excited to catch some smoke in the future! The owner was so nice, professional and accommodating. I will 100% recommend his business to you if you asked me!
