First time I have dined at this lovely place. Smokey's Real Pit is phenomenal.
I recommend getting the combo plate for your first time, you get a choice of any three meats and two sides. I got ribs, sliced pork and smoked sausage (all amazing, juicy, smokey and delishious) with bbq beans and french fries.
Super attentive and friendly service, the sweet tea refills kept coming so fast I could barely keep up :) :)🙂🙂
Being new to the Pensacola area, Ive been trying to find a great local BBQ joint beyond the big chains like sonnys et cetera. And Smokey's real pit is it.🙂 Amazing food, I will be for sure coming back for more.

First time I have been here and enjoyed it. It's a local spot that has been around for a while. The place reminds me of an old joint bbq place that has been around the block or two. I did the three meat plate with sliced beef, sliced pork, and ribs. All three were tender. Add the sweet bbq sauce and we have a nice meal. Comes with two slices of garlic bread. I made a sandwich with both my sliced meat. Bbq beans were tasty and fries just needed a tad of salt. I then smothered it with bbq sauce lol. The lady got two meat combo with dark chicken and pulled pork. Both were a lot better than Sonny's in my humble opinion. Would definitely come back. 8 Chaus

Used to go here a lot when I was young, just recently moved back after 20 years and it's the same. Truly nostalgia for me. So glad not much has changed.

The food quality and service is worthy of SIX stars. I had a sliced pork on garlic bread. The meat was tender and flavorful. Side of fries cooked just right, and we split an order of some of the best onion rings around. Next time I’m in Pensacola, I hope to come back.
The only negative on this place is that the bbq sauce is terrible. Thank goodness I remembered and tasted a little bit of it before I put it on my sandwich. Would love to see them add a version with NO mustard.

Our server Lindsay was outstanding. Our food came really fast and was delicious. Easy to get to. If we lived in the area I would be back frequently.

I can’t say enough about this restaurant. Wow, great prices, outstanding service, and great food. Each one of the meats are so delicious and you can get great barbecue sauce! I highly recommend this place!!
Allan Shaw
Some of the best ribs I've had.
Tender and moist yet still a good chew. I'll be back!
Update. I'm back and it's great again!

Great food and very good customer service at a good price
Christine Ciocco
We choose the combo plate to share. Chicken & sliced pork. If they don't offer the honey mustard sauce, ask for it. You won't be disappointed. The service was spot on as well.

Excellent bbq spot. Ali was terrific as our server! I look forward to coming back.

It's a very good place for pensacola pit barbecue. They have their own smokehouse out back and it has a that hometown feel and great food!
Kris Struckmeyer
My partner and I loved this place! The food was awesome and the service was exemplary. Everyone was courteous and always had a smile. The facade may look a bit aged, but it's totally worth the experience. You know the food is good when there is a Rolls Royce in the parking lot!
Rafael Griffin
The meat was served dry and bland. Potato salad was mediocre. The only thing on my plate that was tasty were the baked beans. Everything else left much to be desired.

Lunch Time Rush. Service second to none, food above average.

Servers need to know the menu. I enjoyed that there was heart healthy options. The menu reads for dinner options 2 sides and you can double any side with the exception of the baked potato. Salads can not be substituted for a side and would be a separate charged item. When we asked the server for the green beans to be doubled she said we could not get double green beans because we ordered a side salad. This was our first experience dining at this restaurant I understood what the menu read, unfortunately our server did not.

Always good. Smokey's is always good. You really get your money's worth.

Yuck!. The bbq beans were good. Everything else was absolutely disgusting. The bbq sauce had a horrible after taste. We asked the waitress what was good to eat and she didn't have a good understanding of what was popular. She also wasn't overly excited about the choices. Very disappointed :-(
Brenbrit58
Yummm. We've eaten here for years and it has never changed. Loved by the locals because its simply good BBQ done by pit masters that know what to do with meat. It's not heavily smoked and over powered by sauce. Beans are good but a bit sweet, potato salad is my husbands favorite side mine are the onion rings and fried corn. Can't honestly say menu is good as I always have the same thing sliced pork extra lean cut for me.
Tkent
Great BBQ, Great prices. Great BBQ, the best baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad in town. All homemade sides. This is a home town place, not a chain like another big BBQ place with a similar name. The prices are very affordable and the banana pudding is to die for!!
Raybay09
Best BBQ in town!. Their food is amazing!! Not just the barbecue, but everything on their menu is wonderful! I am personally a fan of the sweet potato wedges and the pulled pork sandwiches! To die for! Not only is their food excellent, but their staff is very friendly and efficient! Love Smokey's!!!!
Desdemona31
No. Just No. Keep looking, you do not want to eat here. Some people will eat anything apparently.
Briana
I cant believe this place has good reviews. I'm visiting from MS and this was the worst bbq, fries, and potato salad I have ever had it was like school food.
Carmac442
BEST BAKED BEANS ANYWHERE. I have tried for years to find better baked beans and I have come to the conclusion there is none better. They take two days to make And only two people have the recipy and each one only knows only part of it .
Tim Paolantonio
The sweet sauce on the table was really good. The ribs were a little dry but had good flavor. The pulled pork came with no sauce on it so I had to add my own. The garlic bread was amazing. We had to order a second order but we loved them. The pork was meh...okay; needs sauce. I didn't really care too much for the BBQ beans. They were fresh but just didn't taste all that good. The service was okay. Our waitress was attentive but could have cleared the table as we were eating as dishes build up. All in all, we were satisfied with the food but there was no atmosphere

Great food. Our family has eaten at Smokey''s for over 25 years. The food is always GREAT....<br/>We would ride from Mobile to Smokey's just to eat their food. We live in Orange Beach and still go to Smokey's for the best food in town. The service is always great too.
Scudderjl74
Not real pit bar-b-que. The building had an old feeling to it, the service was mediocre at best and both meals that my husband and I ordered were luke warm, the only food that came out hot was the french fries.

Bbqlover. I've eaten repeatedly at Smokey's for 20 years - never had a disappointment. One of the best overall BBQ restaurants I've eaten at and the price is very affordable. See a lot of posts not liking Smokey's - don't know what they're comparing it to or the price point but I think it's a great place.

Good Burger. Their ribs are decent and meaty, but not my go-to. The jumbo burger has been on my wish-list for a while, and it is a worthy old-fashioned Southern style. The bun was nicely toasted, and I loved the abundance of very sweet onion—enough to cover the entire top. I had to add salt, but it is a decent alternative for the neighborhood.

I saw 88% liked this place so I went to find out. The name is a lie because the food was not smokey at all. It wasn't real pit BBQ at all. The turkey and beef must have come from the deli at Walmart and then warmed up in a microwave. It was so bland that it only compares to cooked cardboard. I would wager a guess and say that the 100+ people that liked this place are heavy smokers with no taste buds what so ever. Do your self a favor and don't bother with this place.

NOT authentic barbecue. Mediocre cuts of meat. Bland sauces. Nothing to write home abound here. I do NOT RECOMMEND Smokey's. it's not real.
Beverly Gassman
Bad. Purchased 3 bar b que pullled pork sandwiches. These were the worst I have ever :Had. The meat was so dry and tasted like it was a week old. Also the cold slaw had no taste. The only thing good about this meal was the french fries. I will not be going to this resturant again. Very disappointed in the meal.
Groceryman
Like Sonny's Used to Be. If it reminds you of an older sonny's it should except they have not allowed the quality of the food to slip - Really good smoked meats and homemade sides unlike so many that open cartons and cans<br/><br/>Sonny's was founded in Gainesville and has become not much different than any chain - these people held on to what made them successful - THANK YOU
Native Texan
I don't know how they can call this BBQ when they don't serve brisket. The only only thing that made the food bareable was the BBQ sauce. The meat was sliced thin and resembled sandwich meat and dry as leather. The only good thing going for it was good air conditioning. The place looked like an old persons living home complete with 60's style carpeting and dark wood panels on the wall. I give this place a two thumbs down, if I had more thumbs I'd give them more. You're better off making your own BBQ at your house
Jreigle22
Good stuff. Awesome portions...two meat combo is the way to go.
Amanda Christine Marcial
Great food and friendly staff. The smoked turkey with their honey mustard sauce is yummmmo! Anything you get there you can't go wrong with... Just make sure you get an extra order of the garlic bread-- you won't regret it. We live right roud the corner from their in Marcus pointe and I always make the Mr. Stop at their drive thru for the garlic bread when I make pasta at home.
Susan
I used to like this place, but the taste and quality wore off. Not recommended.
Sarah Pius
LOVE Smokey's. I've been eating at Smokey's for several years now and have never been disappointed! I LOVE their side dishes: beans, slaw, and potato salad! YUMMY! I usually get the pulled pork plate but their BBQ chicken is great too! :-)
Sarah
We've been going to Smokey's for years and years and years. They have the absolute best smoked pork around. The baked beans are to die for. I've never found any that even compare. I also love the garlic bread. I've seen issues in the reviews with the service. The thing about it is, the waitresses and the same decor have all been there for years. It has that hometown sort of feel when you walk in as a regular customer. The more you go, the more special it becomes. Now that I've moved north, where there is no good BBQ, it makes me love and miss Smokey's all that much more.
MmmFood Lover
So good!!! Got the pulled pork lunch plate with baked beans and French fries. Delicious! And the garlic bread, my goodness!!!! Must try in Pensacola.
Frank
Average. Our experience of Smokey's was average. The pulled pork was very good and the side dishes were also very tasty. The service was what brings a place with good food to a ruin. The waitress did not seem interested. We saw her once when she took our drink order and once when she brought the check. When we asked her questions during ordering she seemed like she was being bothered. There are lots of places to get BBQ and service as much as food quality makes us repeat customers.
Janet Johnson
Never again. The worst food I've ever had the misfortune of eating. My 18 yr old said we should have went to mcdonalds. Bbc ribs is her favorite food.
Sara Levin
Very good!. The smoked turkey and sides we got were out of this world good!
Allissa Schuster
This place was a disappointment unfortunately,... Service was food an fast but the food was just poor quality.
Spicy Chef
I'm sorry to say this resturaunt is lacking. The service was very friendly but sadly lacking. Food was cold, but parts of the food was warm, suggesting the use of a microwave. It's sad because Smokeys has real potential but doesn't realize it's headed the way of the dodo :(
Maggie Crandall
Great food, awesome service. Just moved to P'cola and was looking foyer a bbq place to try. Smokeys has good prices and a family atmosphere. Would recommend this place highly.
Table Of Three
The sweet tea is amazing! Beans are good. Sliced pork was good. I took a picture. Have to ask for special or look on the sign. The staff is nice. Food came out in 4 min or less it was so fast. Fries were not seasoned so you need to add salt.
Tom Morgan
A popular place, I don't know why as I wasn't impressed.
Naenay21
This is a local favorite. The beans are the best around. The sliced pork is much better than the pulled and the desserts are amazing. Lunch time is the best time to go and the food is the freshest. Its a must stop for anyone visiting!
PatrMcGraw
Not all that. We were in the neighborhood, having our cars serviced, and thought we would give Smokey's a try. We like BBQ, and for us, this place is not all that. It has a tired feeling. Our waitress was great, the food was just OK. We knew we would not be going back.
Frank M.
Service was nice and quick. Food was just above average but overall nice experience. Menu was also very reasonably priced.
Sherry
Great food & fast service! Best BBQ beans. Easy location to find right off I-10. We were just passing through and ended up with some really good BBQ!
MyDesignGraphics.com
Best Baked Beans. They had really good food, but they had the best baked beans!
Rhett
GREAT. I've been eating at Smokey's since I was a kid. I love the Chefs salad, it's always cold, and a side of pulled pork with the sweat sauce. A neighborhood favorite... GO THERE
Namzaps
Fast simple BBQ with great flavor and service. "B"

Fast service for lunch. Pork was a little dry but good tasted good.
