"Phenomenal BBQ. We stopped in on a whim, 40 mins before closing and the brothers set us up with a fresh pork shoulder and a couple fat slices of brisket. I eat a lot of bbq and this is right up there with some of the best I’ve had. A must stop if you’re in the area"

"I visited Smoke Brothers Kitchen on November 30, 2024, with my wife and father. I had the brisket, with potato salad and baked beans. My wife had pulled pork nachos. My father had pulled pork, baked beans, and coeslaw. The portion sizes are impressive, and the prices are VERY REASONABLE. The meat was amazing. The beans seemed canned but doctored up. This isn't to say it was bad. Lastly, the potato salad was tasty, but you better like pickles, as it seemed to have a heavy pickle flavor. There is plenty of parking. We visited around 2 p.m. so it wasn't busy. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely stop in again when I am back in Dover."
