Had a solid BBQ experience at ChainSmokers BBQ! The brisket was the highlight—perfectly balanced between fatty and lean cuts, super tender, juicy, and packed with that rich, smoky flavor you expect from proper pit BBQ. The chicken wings were also a hit, nicely cooked with great seasoning and a good touch of smokiness. Mac n’ cheese was creamy, cheesy, and definitely one of the better sides I’ve had—great comfort food alongside the meats. The ribs were decent too—not the standout, but still enjoyable. Overall, a satisfying Texas-style BBQ spot with bold flavors and good portions. Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving smoked meats!
My mom and I went to this place because we had a craving for some BBQ. We ordered a brisket, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. Sad to say we were extremely disappointed with the results. The first notice is that there's no BBQ on the meat but we get a tiny dipping cup as if we ordered from a fast food chain. Along with a tiny cup of coleslaw. The mac and cheese looked promising but the taste was non-existent. Overall if you want to pay for overpriced BBQ for low quality flavor this is the place for you.
Price was $28 for a 1/2 lbs of smoked Brisket, along with some light sides. Brisket was decent. I got the lean part, not sure if you can pick between the lean and fatty part of the brisket. You can ask for different sauces, if you aren't just happy with one. Weirdly enough, the pastries here are really interesting, and worth trying. They were also worth trying.
Incredible location! The Milton one I used to love but man it’s like you need to pre order food a year in advance to ensure they have it I called this location last minute , they held a table for us, served us food in a quick and timely manner - had all the brisket on hand ( their brisket is INSANE) Our favourite item ( and bear in mind we loved it all) was their brisket fries - holy! The staff were courteous , and I would drive 40 minutes for this location anytime!
I recently visited Chainsmokers Urban Barbeque and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. We ordered the smoked brisket, grilled chicken, and Chainsmoker burger. Starting with the smoked brisket, it was overcooked and lacked the smoky flavor that I was expecting. The brisket didn’t seem fresh and failed to deliver the kind of barbecue experience you hope for at a place like this. The grilled chicken was another letdown. It had very little flavor, and the only thing that stood out was the honey glaze on the top, which added a sweet taste. However, the chicken itself was bland and far from enjoyable. The Chainsmoker burger was average, nothing special, and didn't stand out among other burgers I’ve had. On the bright side, the fries were good — crispy and well-seasoned, which was a small positive during the meal. Additionally, the behavior of the person at the counter was off-putting. He seemed to make fun of us, which was uncomfortable. It’s worth noting that the restaurant was empty, and yet the staff interaction didn’t feel welcoming. Overall, this experience didn’t live up to the hype, and I won’t be rushing back.
Very good BBQ place, we went on a weekday, quite late so it was empty and all to ourselves. Very friendly service, we had the brisket with dun’it fries and coleslaw, which were amazing. Some of the brisket pieces were on the harder side, while others were super soft but we still enjoyed the package. We also had a pound of wings which were good too, we had expected the wings to be made in the chosen sauce but it was provided separately. Overall very good experience. Lots of parking in the plaza with lots of different cuisines within the plaza and the other side of the road too.
