What User doesn't like about Smoking Kow Bbq:
Tried the pulled pork and brisket sandwich. Brisket was okay, pork was a little better. Baked beans were a bit unusual but had a good flavored. Good sized portions of everything. Cornbread was okay, very dense. Did not care for the sauces. Friendly service. All in all, not a bad experience, just too many other places I go provide a better one. View all feedback. What David Conner likes about Smoking Kow Bbq:
In search of something new, my friend and I drove from Vienna to try this restaurant today. It was fantastic! The food was fresh and delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. I highly recommend trying the platter with brisket and pulled pork. There were four different sauces to choose from, and all of them were delicious. My only complaint was the limited selection... View all feedback.

Tiny place with not much parking. But the Kansas style barbecue is out of the world! Would love it eat here. Everyday!

A restaurant offering an array of BBQ dishes received mixed reviews. Some diners found the food average, citing the brisket as okay and the pulled pork unsatisfactory. However, others praised the fresh, delicious dishes and generous portion sizes, recommending the brisket and pulled pork platter. Highlights included the moist beef brisket sandwich and top-tier customer service. The establishment also impressed with their variety of classic sides and Texas caviar. While prices may be a bit high and the drink selection limited, overall, this BBQ joint is considered a must-try in the region for its flavorful, moist meats and friendly staff.
