Wanderlog included Smoakie Kitchen on their list of the 50 best BBQ restaurants in the greater Phoenix area.

Stopped and was deliciously impressed. The spot is clean and inviting with comfortable red booths and TVs to catch the news. You can tell they take pride in their craft; the menu proudly states meats are smoked for 15 hours! I tried the brisket and it didn’t disappoint. The meat was tender and flavorful. They have all the classics like brisket, ribs, and hotlinks, plus peach cobbler for dessert. Definitely my new go-to BBQ joint for lunch.

This is the best BBQ in the area of Phoenix. The customer service is outstanding. I ordered the chicken 1/4 sandwich with the bun on the side and a side of collard greens. The chicken breast and wing was so tender that the meat fell off the bone. The chicken was smokey delicious. The BBQ sauce was tangy and spicy. The collard greens were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Came here for some lunch and figured BBQ would be a good call. Man good is an understatement. This place knows how to smoke a brisket and how to do shredded pork. Everything was perfectly cooked. Now on to the sides. The Mac n Cheese is perfect with long strings of cheese for each fork load. The collard green were also perfect t and if you haven't had it before try it here. I highly recommend coming here period!

Wow! The owner and staff at this restaurant are very kind and friendly. The BBQ is to die for! I tried the ribs and they were very delicious. The house sauces they have are very good! My favorite thing out of everything was their CORNBREAD! Definitely will be coming back.

Good BBQ in Laveen, AZ? - YES This place surprised me. The meat was super juicy and amazingly spiced! Try the brisket and the ribs. Also BBQ lamb?! I liked the Hot BBQ sauce better than the regular. Pro Tip: GET the cornbread
