“ My first time eating at Garrett‘s smokehouse was on Friday, October 22 and when I tell you I have never in my 60 years have had barbecue that was so divinely delicious. I will never go back to barbecue heaven or king ribs again after eating your barbecue. We then had to come back on Sunday to try the smoke wings I’m looking forward to Thursday of this week when you open up again.We have a daycare right around the corner in walking distance my staff is also going to order some of this delicious food that I’ve told them about. Customer service is absolutely amazing thank you so much for sharing your gift.you have one top of the line business ”
“ I had the medium chicken dinner and it was so good. The smoke on the chicken was noticeable, the portions on the sides was actually pretty generous in comparison to the other "royal" rib place, and the woman who took my order was nice and asked me if I had any questions about the menu. The mac and cheese was good and creamy, and the greens were well seasoned and tasty. The sauce was served on the side, so I could taste the chicken, which was so juicy, smokey and delicious, without the flavor being covered up and swimming in sauce. The only thing was the cornbread was a little dry. I will definitely go again. ”
“ My 1st time trying this Place...right down the street from me. I don't like everyone's Rib Tips.... but These were DELICIOUS!! I knew they would be good when they told me they don't put BBQ sauce on the tips and the sauce come on the side. I think they Give you a nice portion for 14 for a small tip. No fries. Meat only! They were tender and juicy and flavorful. I was not disappointed! ”
“ The food is excellent. Especially their fall of the bone ribs along with their baked beans and potatoe salad. ”
“ First time experience was amazing! Walked in, grabbed a menu and saw the what I was looking for, turkey! I had turkey tips before, but not turkey ribs. The cashier explained how you get 3 nice ribs for that price. I ordered the small dinner which included 2 small sides. The sides I ordered were mac and cheese and greens, which was not cooked in pork (yes!). The meal came with cornbread. Since I was not from the area, I wanted to try more menu items and also ordered a 10pc smoked wings. Everything was sooooo good! The turkey ribs fell OFF THE BONES!! The sides were delishous although the greens were highly seasoned. The smoked wings were a nice size and REALLY had the smoked flavor! You could smell the smoke as soon as I opened the tray. Can't wait to visit the area again! Thanks Garrett's! ”
