⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We’ve been riding past Smoky Tony’s on our way to Jacksonville for the longest time and finally decided to stop in — and wow, we’re so glad we did! This place is AMAZING. We went on a Tuesday night and they were hosting music bingo, which was such a fun surprise. The atmosphere was lively, the crowd was having a blast, and it made for the perfect night out. The staff were super sweet and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. And the food? Absolutely delicious! Everything we tried was packed with flavor and came out fresh and hot. Safe to say, we won’t be just riding by anymore. We will definitely be going back! Highly recommend checking them out!

Hands down one of the best BBQ spots in Eastern North Carolina. I’m really glad I stopped by today. Lorena and Cindy took great care of me and were friendly and attentive throughout my visit.I started with the hush puppies, and they were excellent fresh, hot, and full of flavor. For my meal, I ordered the brisket with fries and collard greens. Everything tasted great, and you can tell they put real effort into their food. The brisket was thick,tender, and juicy and the fries were cooked well, and the collard greens had that good, homemade taste. I originally planned to skip dessert, but Lorena recommended the cinnamon cheesecake, and I’m glad I tried it. It ended up being a really nice finish to the meal.Overall, it was a great experience with good food and service. I’ll definitely be back.

Some of the best smoke ribs and pull pork in town. All of the food was very tasteful so we tried a little of everything, they were out of 5 items but can not complain, this is a hot spot for dinning with family or friends. Plenty of parking and inside seating.
