“ Our absolute favorite local BBQ place. We always start with the cheese curds, which are the best I’ve ever had. You can’t go wrong with any of the meats. Even the catfish, which they sometimes have on Fridays or Saturdays, is fantastic. Yesterday I got the combo platter with smoked meatloaf, smoked bologna, and chopped brisket. I’ve only ever had two sides - onion rings and potato salad, and they are great. I’ve considered buying a family size side of potato salad to go - it is that good. Service is wonderful. All of the servers work together, and we all feel so well taken care of. They offer a veterans discount, which makes me choose to support them with my business even more. No pics of the food as I’m usually focused purely on enjoying it. ”
“ In the South, it isn't hard to find a place nearby that serves barbecue. Then there are good barbecue places, just might take a bit more time and require traveling some distance. Sons of Smoke is neither - it is an exceptionally good barbecue restaurant, head and shoulders above the rest. I ordered the sampler plate (3 meats, 2 sides). I chose pulled pork, brisket and 2 ribs with baked beans and mac 'n' cheese (cole slaw, potato salad, and fries also options). The plate was loaded, very generous portions of meat and sides. The two ribs were very meaty and it pulled easily right off the bone. Everything was cooked perfectly. If you are a barbecue fan and have the chance to eat here, do not miss it. I really can't say enough good things about this place - Sons of Smoke is the real deal. ”
“ Some of the best brisket, ribs, and pork I have had in a long time! The sweet sauce has a hint of honey and smokey flavor. The mac and cheese is shells with white cheddar, which happens to be my favorite kind. The cole slaw is slightly sweet and crunchy. Fantastic service with a laid back atmosphere! I highly recommend this locally owned Bar-B-Q spot in the heart of downtown Loudon! ”
“ They have the best food in town! Tonight we had ribs and brisket with potato salad, onion rings, turnip greens and baked beans. You couldn't ask for any better. It all was so delicious. We will definitely be back. Wished I would have taken pictures. ”
“ We had the pleasure to visit Sons of Smoke for the first time last Saturday for lunch. We had to see if all of the positive reviews were accurate. We had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed it immensely. Our waitress was Buffy and she was a pure delight. I had the 3 meat platter with brisket, pulled pork and smoked bologna. The sides were baked beans and the white cheddar mac & cheese. I'm really not a mac & cheese fan, but I will always order their version when I go back. My wife ordered the brisket nachos and really enjoyed them. Their servings were huge and we had more than enough to have a carry out and enjoy all of this again! I strongly encourage BBQ fans to try Sons of Smoke!! ”
“ I’ve been anticipating checking this place out.. today was the day! Did the 3 meat sampler with Mac and cheese and crispy fries.. WOW!! Fabulous!! Highly recommended.. say hi to Holly! ”
“ We live locally and have our choice of local BBQ. This IS our “go to” place. They are friendly, the portions are good, service is fast & smiling, and it is GREAT ‘Q. My only complaint is that they are only open Thursday-Sunday as they work “regular” jobs as well. The place is a gem and deserves the high ratings it gets. Do your taste buds a favor and drive to Loudon. ”
“ Really great food, I usually do take out and sometimes they're so busy I have to go into the restaurant and order my to go there but regardless they're always very nice, quick, and the foods always hits the spot. My favorites are the brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and mac n cheese. ”
