Smoke House Barbecue - Rockford

We love two hours from this place. A definite destination place when out on a nice bike ride. Today was no different. The owners/ family treat everyone like long-lost friends. Even the customers greet other customers with love and smiles. The food is so DELICIOUSLY GOOD! If you have a chance, you must stop by. You won't be disappointed.

The lady was very nice and welcoming..food not so good. I had the sho boat...which is pulled pork on a grilled bun.. the meat was salty and cover in sauce so I could not taste any flavor other than sauce and salt. also, my meat was really fatty. Service was nice...but I think I can pass on coming back here.Food: 1/5

Small place with fantastic BBQ. Super friendly staff. The only downside was that we went when it was 90° out and they don't have air conditioning. We were sweating our butts off, but thoroughly enjoying delicious BBQ, fries, and mac n cheese. All were excellent.Food: 5/5

Small off the road place attached to gas station. Small location, limited tables, but welcoming and homey. The servers and service are exemplary. As soon as you walk in the restaurant, they want you to know that you are welcome .As great as their service is, the food is Delicious. My wife and I both had their pulled pork sandwiches. Hers was on regular bread, and I had the Special sandwich SHO BOAT on a larger bun served open faced, piled high with pork. I got French fries and she got the coleslaw. WONDERFUL! More than enough food for both of us and the pricing is inexpensive for the quality and quantity.While we were there, another guest was having the burnt ends and did not stop raving about how good his food was. A lot of their business is pickup. We will definitely be going back to try more of their menu.

Stopped for a quick bite in drive home from Galena-family run headed by grandson at register…suggested the BBQ Sho-boat with a pork Sammie and fries and a side of Mac. Excellent and reasonably priced-worth a trip back.Food: 5/5
