Said by some to feature barbeque amongst the best in Dallas and open at 8am I had high hopes for Smoke\u2026hopes soon to be dashed by a breakfast menu only willing to serve up the smoky protein as a chopped and mixed \u2018hash,\u2019 \u2013 the server claiming the meat used was fresh that morning but \u201cnot served as a plate\u201d until 11:00 due to \u2018kitchen policy.\u2019 Disappointed but already seated and admittedly impressed by the cozy confines and smoke in the air it was with a brief moments pause that I debated going elsewhere but able to make do with the limited menu an order was placed \u2013 the food mostly competent save for rubbery eggs and a dry biscuit, but the service a veritable disaster despite only three other patrons in the large space… one of them clearly an owner or investor strutting about making profane proclamations about first quarter gains. Beginning first with coffee service \u2013 refills requiring me to wave down a busser at nearly 20ft \u2013 and moving next to my plate visibly languishing under a heat lamp until my pancakes were prepared despite my specific request to receive the later as dessert it can only be assumed that the VIP was commanding too much a presence of staff for them to be bothered with the \u2018small things\u2019 like providing a good customer experience\u2026either that or they were all hung over from Mardi Gras parties the night before\u2026or perhaps some \u2018policy\u2019 simply prevented them from being efficient. Oh well, at least the grits and pancakes were good \u2013 and if the smoky bacon was any indication so might be the barbeque, though after such an experience I\u2019d not venture back to find out.<\/p>\n
