I've lived in Sandpoint for 25 years now but I grew up in Texas where BBQ was an every weekend thing. I have tried for years to find a good BBQ place in North Idaho but just haven't found a place that really captured the BBQ that I grew up with. Until now. We live down the street from Smokesmith and we walk by frequently. It smells amazing when they are smoking the meats. We finally decided to give it a shot. I was NOT disappointed! The BBQ was super reminiscent of my childhood! The flavors are rich and smokey, the meats are amazingly tender, melt in your mouth! The sides were delish and filling! I got a platter with brisket, pulled pork, and German Sausage. I have to say they nailed it! It was even better than a BBQ place I used to frequent in Austin! Sooo good!

My band, Need for Creed played a show at Smokesmith last weekend and we had the best experience ever!! The staff was kind and fun and food was phenomenal!! They treated us so good and I have to say the BBQ was 10/10 and the sides, even tho a little spicy, could be enjoyed by someone who doesn't like spicy foods. Would recommend 100%

BBQ is amazing, be sure to see what is on the specials board! Sides are great... How can coleslaw be one of my favorite things, don’t worry the brisket guarantees I’ll never become a vegetarian. Sooo good.

I really enjoyed this spot. Prices I thought were reasonable, especially for BBQ everything was delicious, we had the platter and got brisket, pulled pork, and jalapeno cheddar sausages. All awesome. In house BBQ sauces were all solid my favorite being the mustard based one.

Amazing BBQ! We are from Western Washington, and stayed a long weekend in Sandpoint. You can smell the BBQ from blocks away. Very upbeat and friendly service. We tried pretty much everything on the menu. Our favorite were the ribs- and the live music. We loved the atmosphere so much we spent both Friday and Saturday evening enjoying the live music on the lawn. Big bonus, is the outdoor area is very dog friendly. Highly recommend.

I’ve been here a few times and it always slaps! The brisket melts in your mouth with the perfect amount of smoke. I pretty much always get the same thing. Fatty Brisket and Mac n Cheese that has a little heat to it. The Sausages are also killer! Classic BBQ ordering system. Yep you get a tray loaded up with meat on the paper. Bonus for the pickled onions and homemade sauces. Best BBQ in North Idaho.

If you are looking for some great BBQ this is your place! Smoked wings, coleslaw, cold beer and football make for a great Sunday afternoon. We are returning customers and have enjoyed the brisket, smoked sausage, smoked turkey and many sides. If you like spice you will for sure enjoy the chili! A great place to sit and chat, relax, enjoy football and AMAZING food.
