Smitty's Lockdown Barbecue

Just finished a stretch at Lockdown! Pulled pork, ribs and sliced brisket. The fries were extremely crisp and the brunswick stew had an excellent stew texture. Lots of que and everything was great.

Edit: It's been months since my initial review, and unfortunately the quality has consistently gone downhill for me. The broccoli has still been great but the portions and quality of the meats have declined so much that I hardly go here any more. The first time I thought it was a fluke but each time I went back I continued to be unimpressed with the meat quality and portions. -- First time visitor! I would pass by and smell the BBQ smoker and see all the cars in the parking lot so I had to check it out. I’ve been let down by BBQ before, but a busy parking lot is usually a good sign. I walked in and placed an order to go. The staff was very knowledgeable and helped me decide on an order. There is a LOT of choices, from meats to sides and beyond. I chose the Sampler which comes with 3 meats, 2 sides, and Texas Toast. Pulled pork, brisket, and ribs turned out to be a great choice. The photo crops out some of the food but the portions were great. The meat just falls off the ribs. The pulled pork separates very well. There was no gristle in the brisket. I probably won’t be able to choose between the three next time and might have to get them all again. The broccoli was great! Fresh broccoli lightly charred - it’s the perfect side. The collards were a little bland for my taste. The menu describes their flavor as subtle, which was my experience. I like to taste vinegar, heat, and meat with my collards so they’re definitely something I’d add sauce to own my own. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for quality service and food.

So, I ordered food for 12 people as a last minute birthday gathering feed. I placed the order around 12pm for a pickup of 2:30 same day. Pulled chicken, pulled pork, brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, collard greens, baked beans, Brunswick stew, and three different BBQ sauces (original, sweet & spicy, and spicy). This is the best BBQ my family and I have had in a really long time. There were people waiting for their food when I ordered. There were people waiting for food when I picked up. Noone was angry or upset. They looked hungry! Thank you for the fine food and once again, apologies for the late notice of a big order!

Had the ribs today and they were really good. Not sure if they changed the recipe but it’s very good 3-09-24

Love the food!!! Corn nuggets are a special treat and the homemade sauce is great!!! They even catered my jobs Christmas party last year, everyone loved it!

My husband and I just found our new BBQ spot! We got the beef Brisket sandwich, fries and corn nuggets! Everything is delicious! Their sauce selection is huge! The woman at the register is an absolute sweetheart and helped us navigate the menu. If you haven’t been here, you’re cheating your body! ❤️ Keep it up guys! So glad we found you!

Great food and service. Not bad at prices either. Will go back!

Today was a great experience I just shared with a small group of BBQ enthusiasts. I had the brisket plate, fried okra, and mac n cheese, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The brisket was slightly moist and exactly how I liked it, not dried out. The food was outstanding. The staff was friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The prices are very reasonable and there are various items to order. I think next time I'll order the corn nuggets. The banana pudding was even delicious. What a fantastic experience all in all.

Had a great time at this place recently. Everything here is delicious. The wings were spot-on. The brisket was smoky and well-cooked, and the ribs were tender with a tasty barbecue sauce. Great Service. The staff was friendly and even kept the doors open after closing. This is going to be my regular joint. :-)
