What User likes about Smokehouse Barbecue Independence:
I had lunch here today and was pleasantly surprised by how beautiful the place was. It was our first visit, and we really enjoyed the lovely paintings and the overall atmosphere. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Smokehouse Barbecue Independence:
The half chicken was tough and overly chewy, requiring a lot of effort to eat. The sauce was poured generously over a full plate of ribs, but the beef was extremely undercooked and tough, resembling jerky. For the amount we spent, we were very disappointed. View all feedback.
