Smokie's Rib Shack - Carthage

I wanted ribs and so we came across smokies. We stopped for late lunch and from the minute you get out of your car the smell hits ya!! Smoked ribs we ordered the full rack of dry rubbed and some green beans and their pulled pork. It was all delicious especially the ribs. You have to get their bbq sauce and tey the spicy and mild( which is a bit sweet). Next time you are in carthage or camping at Defeated Creek Campgrpund you have to stop into Smokies.

I got ribs fries baked beans and a biscuit. Husband got ribs fries slaw and biscuit. We were not a fan of the biscuit. Would have enjoyed corn bread with our ribs. The baked beans were great. My husband liked the slaw (vinegar based). Though Im not a fan of dry rub ribs, my husband liked them. I enjoyed the very mild sauce I ordered on the side. I may try this place again and try their pulled pork or soul food.

I recently tried the best ribs I have ever eaten at this restaurant. They are even better than Chili's, which is saying a lot. The owner, Robert, informed me that they moved from Sevierville, TN to Carthage. I will definitely miss them and their delicious food at Smokies!

The barbeque at this restaurant is excellent, especially the ribs which are amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly and the prices are very affordable. The portions are generous and the food is delicious. You won't be disappointed eating here.

I have visited numerous BBQ restaurants that claim to serve authentic barbecue, but fail to deliver. However, Smokies is not one of those places. It is truly the real deal. I highly recommend giving them a try. This place is amazing, with fantastic staff. You will not be disappointed.
