Smokehouse Grill & Buffet

I stopped in on the way home from Knoxville looking for something different... The interior is kind of a Cracker Barrel knockoff but quant. The waitress, Kelly, was amazing which made the place seem better than it was. I started the meal with the salad bar which was ok. I had the ribeye steak with veggies and a loaded potato. The steak was over cooked - I ordered medium rare and got medium well - the waitress offered to have it remade but I really did not have the time to wait so I just ate it. The potato and the veggies were really good. The best part of the meal was the hot rolls with cinnamon butter. It is worth a visit but don't expect to be impressed- it is good but average

Good food, a bit pricey. The food bar for 3 people was $52 cash or $54 card. Very nice atmosphere and friendly service. I would recommend. Coke products are available. The have good brownies and the do have an ice cream dispenser, only vanilla. A variety of meat choices and a very good salad bar. They have meatloaf and baked beans. Corn and corn pudding. Very limited desert, peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler and brownies as well as ice cream.

The service was fantastic, and the waitresses were friendly. I found the food mediocre. They make their croutons, BBQ Sauce, and fried chicken in house. The croutons were amazing, the sauce was pretty good, and the fried chicken was good. Everything else tasted “meh” (group consensus). I am vegetarian and hoped for some down home country cooked sides and was left disappointed.

Being from eastern KY and eating straight from garden to table this is the closest place I have found for fresh down home country cooking! Just amazed at how amazing the food is here! Let’s start with service! Kim was amazing! Ask for her when you come in! The restaurant was super clean as well as the restrooms! Selection was super! I had almost everything on the buffet and I did not have a bad experience! Met the owner! Super nice guy! My new favorite go to when I visit Berea!
