The Smokin' Oak - Red Wing

Brittany was our server and she was absolutely amazing. very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks specialties, quickly efficient. the smell of redisserie cooked meat when they go through the front door, makes their mouthwater. the food presentation was great and delicious! highly recommended!

My opinion after gives off the best restaurant in red wing! I might have been a dozen times here and always had a good experience. even when my eating was a bit messed up, the customer service on the way they deal with it made the difference. very recommend to try this place!

Never ate here before, and was in a hurry. Ordered a pound of beef brisket and a pound of pulled pork. They had the order together within 10 minutes, which was perfect. I've ate barbecue from some of the best places in the country over the years, soI know good when I taste it. It's also pretty well-known that it's extremely hard to find authentic barbecue here in the UpperMidwest, at least that isn't dried out and/or overly-seasoned. I was actually blown away by the pork and brisket from here! Theamount of smoke was perfect, it was nice and juicy, was hot, and although I didn't weigh it, both items were easily a poundapiece. I'm not really a barbecue sauce guy?I prefer to let the taste of the meat stand on it's own, which it does easily?but Idid get a cup of their spicy BBQ sauce, and man was it tasty, complemented the meats well. This isn't just good by Midweststandards, it easily gives other barbecue joint's a run for the money, and I'm talking about places in Memphis, Texas, NorthCarolina, etc.

Excellent flavor on the ribeye, not so much on the green beans. Friendly staff and cold beer. A few hidden fees at time of check out. No salad served with the steak. Odd! The Smokin? Oak had a few highs, and a few lows.

Great Cobb salads. I had the one with smoked chicken and my wife had wood fired salmon. They were both great.
