Made coffee rubbed pulled pork with Chef Dave's recommended cut. A -mazing! Company loved it!
As a farmer, I’m always thrilled to have a whole animal butcher shop in my community. Chef Mills is top notch, the food is flavorful and hearty, and the service is phenomenal. You’ll see cuts you can’t get fresh anywhere else and the relationships with the local community are reflective of the exemplary customer service Chef Mills values. Smoke & Pickles is a “don’t miss” sort of place. Try it. You’ll be back!
Street parking, outside seating is on that same street, clean business and restrooms, pleasant staff, good food.Easy to let your eyes get carried away in this place if you have eaten here before. Portions are good sized and flavourful. Outside seating is kinda blah (town steet is loud) but inside is nice enough. Staff are friendly, non pushy, accommodating, and knowledgeable about where the food is sourced from.Aside from the outside seating this place is very good cost and food wise.
I have been coming here for years. Dave selects only LOCAL, humanly sourced meats and dry ages them. He does scratch cooking, and everything he serves is fresh and authentic. He fully butchers the animals, and makes sure that nothing goes to waste.
Some of the worst brisket I’ve ever eaten. But that’s because they flash smoke their meat. They don’t even buy the whole brisket. They buy pulled brisket, pork, and chicken in a bag then they season it and put it in a foil pan on the smoker for a half hour. I wouldn’t have even give them a one star. Straight counterfeit bbq.
This local spot is a must! Chef Dave knows his stuff and has built a very well run restaurant with food that will completely tantalize your tastebuds. When the pig is out, you need to stop in! ...fellow patrons know what I mean...
Absolutely awesome shop. All fresh and local. Definitely grab a bottle of wine and come sit down for their amazing food. You will not be disappointed.
This shop is amazing! All meats are dry-aged 21 days and I can personally attest that the flavors are divine. The custom spice blends were a big hit as gifts for family members. They even have coffee, and cooler bags for purchase to keep your meats cold on the way home! Not to mention they have a wonderful program where you can Pay It Forward by buying a gift certificate that they will keep on hand for individuals who may need assistance securing good food. That is the definition of community to me! The gentleman we spoke to was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with all of our questions and indecisiveness. 10/10 experience, we will definitely go back!
I’ve been following this place for a few years and have never stopped UNTIL today. WOW did I make a huge mistake not trying them sooner! The food is fantastic, the staff is on point, polite,attentive, and very knowledgeable about what they are selling. This isn’t your average butcher shop, this is high end meats treated the right way. DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE THAT I DID, TRY THIS PLACE NOW!!! EVERYTHING IS ON POINT HERE.
Cannot say enough good things about Smoke & Pickles! When dining in, the food and service is always amazing. We often pick up meat to cook at home and I am always impressed by the quality of the meat and how knowledgeable the staff is about their products.
