Blue Ember Smokehouse

I'd give the food 7/5 stars if I could. Tried the original and apple sauce and both are fantastic, but apple is better (sweeter). I got the special ops sandwich and all the meats were really good. I also got an order of brisket twisters, which are basically jalapeno poppers (maybe brisket in the cream cheese?). I don't really like jalapeno poppers, but these were fantastic. Maybe because I dipped them in the apple sauce.

The brisket was OK. Nothing special. Overall I feel it was not worth the price. The 🌽 was good, but a little pricey, over $3 for 1 cob. Mr. Pibb instead of Dr. Pepper. Soda machine's icemaker was broken so it wasn't cold. The picture will show how much fat was on their "lean" cut of brisket.

They're smoked turkey is the BEST I've ever had in a restaurant!! Potato salad was delicious & baked beans were wonderful!! I tried the Kickin Apple BBQ sauce for the 1st time& bought a bottle before I left!! It is SUPERB!! Staff was awesome!! Very prompt & courteous. Very clean dining area & ladies room. Can NOT wait to go back!! I highly recommend a visit here to all BBQ lovers!!

Ordered the special ops with jalapenos pineapple sausage as a sandwich and it was tasty! The meat is fall off the bone and tender, just not super flavorful. Their apple bbq sauce made up for it! The store is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Could be bussed better, but we may have come in after a very busy rush. They also have ice cream that we did not try. I loved the fresh lemon and their bread for the sandwich!

Very nice upscale place with plenty of parking and seating the food is quite good although nothing spectacular although it's probably one of the better barbecue places in the city I find the sauces to be just way too sweet and my biggest complaint is that the prices are just quite High
