Very nice atmosphere. Waiter was very attentive. Food was good. She crab soup very tasty with a little kick to it. Shrimp appetizer was ok. Shrimps were a good size and the cocktail sauce was good but the shrimp were still frozen and a little watery.

Waitress was great, she crab soup was awesome as always. Pulled pork was a little cold, ribs were ok. Cornbread seemed like it was sitting for a while, the butter didn't even melt. Basically none of the meat on both dishes was warm enough.

Wet ribs were good. The dining area is on second floor, I did not see an elevator, so probably not accessible for people with injuries or handicaps.

Ate there last night. 8 adults and 1 child. We waited over an hour to be served our meals. Restaurant was not that busy. Grandson's steak was overcooked TWICE. Daughter had to go to the bar to pick up her drink. My pistachio chicken was a disappointment. No visible or taste of pistachios. Just a thick breading which I took off to eat tasteless chicken. Grilled veg's. another disappointment.The one piece of cauliflower was part what you throw away.Our server was completely inattentive. Anything we asked for took forever. Catsup arrived after fries were cold. Will we be back? I think not.

What happened? The sanwhichs have significantly decreased in size and 17 fries. Yes, I counted. I'm sure they make good money. Sorry to say not off this family again :(

Horrible experience! Absolutely the worst service I have ever experienced! Waitstaff was rude and non attentive.We were a table of 8, who got our own menus since the waitress didnÒ€ℒt come back for at least 20 minutes after placing the silverware on the table. Only time we saw the waitress was when she finally arrived to take our food order and then to bring us the check. We purchased all beverages from the bar, since the server never came to the table to take drink orders. Our food took forever to arrive. The Burgers were extremely overcooked and inedible. The french fries were also overcooked and ice cold. We could not bring this to the servers attention, since the next time we saw her was with she deliver the check to the table.Left hungry and extremely upset! Never again!

Very nice decor, good food and friendly staffBefore you buy the groupon check with the waiter/waitress, sometimes they wont honour them.

The portion sizes are a joke but that's the least bothersome thing. Brisket was cold, pulled pork was cold, stake had no flavor and was slopped in grease, fried onion had no onion actually in it. Beer was served warm, grilled cheese for the little one was cold, how one manages that is beyond me. The solution when we brought up the cold food in a polite manner? "We can warm it up for you" So all in all we waited 45 min in an empty restaurant to get food that we didnt eat. All for the low low price of 107.98$ So you be the judge of this dumpster fire of a "Smoke house"

Had a great time with a group of friends there. An unforgettable night, and Center Street was a part in that. The food was great. The atmosphere was great. People were welcoming and everything was exactly how you'd expect a night out to be at a restaurant.

We stopped here purely by accident and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The feel was great, the food was amazing and the bartender was phenomenal. I wish this place was closer to home!

Red Rock Ponds campers were excited about this food truck coming. 140 sites, average 3 meals per site... and you are a no show. Ò€œTruck in shop since WednesdayÒ€ you said so you Ò€œwont be comingÒ€. You couldnÒ€ℒt have called Thursday to cancel? You wait til an hour before u were to arrive? Well i guess i wont need you on my list of diners to visit while we are here all summer and fall. You are not dependable so why would your food be dependably good? But you need to know, i will not be giving u any business. And, i will not fail to mention your Ò€œdependabilityÒ€ to others going to the casino or shopping. Love OÒ€ℒLaceys. Will highly recommend them!!

We went to the Center Street Smokehouse for dinner and it was fantastic. My husband had the steak and I had the bourbon pork chops. They were both done perfectly. The atmosphere is fun and casual. I loved the old signs and the phone booth. What a fun step back on time. The music was mostly 50's and 60's. We look forward to our next visit.

Great theme restaurant. Food was not bad. They have live music in the summer. Plenty of seating and staff were very nice. Price-wise, it is quite reasonable and the theming makes it a good place to eat overall.

I know these things are a solely subjective but this place is as comfortable to me as going to grammas place for the holiday's. It has beautiful decor, and an olde fashion vibe, with an open roof, and a smokers basement, Highly recommend to anyone!

Great ribs, brisket and pulled pork. Excellent ribs, meaty and great flavor. Cooked perfectly. Sides are hit and miss. Sweet potato, veggies of the day were good the tomatoes, beans, fries were not so good. Sides pulled the 5 star meats down to a 4 star experience.

Good BBQ, finally had a chance to go after a full season of work (they don't open until 4pm) I think I over psyched myself up. Good, just wanted it to be better.

Visit the smokehouse a few times a year. Usually not a problem for the most part. However, tonight's meal was horrible! Ordered the BBQ plate for 13.99, I understand the food being "smoked" but does that mean burned?? Chicken was so dry I could hardly bite into it. Not a good experience tonight at all

Burnt steak that was supposed to be rare, coated with charcoal and swimming in grease and butter. Frozen grilled vegetables, still frozen inside. Cold, pasty potatoes. Nice waitress when she was around. Loud dining experience, seated next to the bar. Food took over an hour to arrive at the table on a Thursday evening when there were hardly any customers here. My date's food was ALL cold, while my "rare" steak was so well done and hot that I could barely chew it. At the end of the evening, the burnt charcoal taste in my mouth was so bad that I started gagging from it. The food was WAY overpriced for the lack of quality. I left half of my steak on the skillet it was served to me on. NEVER AGAIN.

Excellent food,Exceptional staff,@ this historic location with plenty of parking across the quiet street. We've been here twice with parties of 10 - 15 and they've been more than accommodating. Food & atmosphere BETTER than Dinosaur BBQ.

Average food, I have had better BBQ. Got some mac and cheese that was flavorless. The smoked wings were great and some white pizza was tasty. Fun place to hang out but if your looking for great BBQ; not so much in my opinion.

This place use to be good food and lots of it for the price... Now you pay the same amount and get about half the food. It's very disappointing. They didn't even give a good amount of fries to make up for it like some places do. They gave us less than a hand full. I don't know if it was the cook they had on that day or what the deal is. However that's enough to make us not want to go back and it was one of the good places to go.

My favorites are the ribs, brisket, and those cheese biscuits. The meat was very tender with the perfect amount of seasoning...you can still taste the meat. This place is a definite go to..I will return very soon.

Questions & Answers

I've been going there for years, I have never encountered this, but, I don't go when they are super busy.

I would think so maybe smaller portions

I strongly recommend a reservation. You never know when it's packed.

Yes

I honestly dont know , as far as I know its all smoked,
