Good Smoke BBQ was formed in 2006 in a bid to destroy the competition at Oinktoberfest in Clarence, NY. Well we didn’t exactly destroy the competition but we didn’t finish last either! What we did do was ignite a love affair with barbecue and the need to perfect every aspect of our cooking with the goal of becoming competitive on the professional barbecue circuit. In the intervening years we have been lucky enough to have many successes on the circuit and want to offer competition level food to our customers. Family owned by Rochester natives Brian and Kelly Wemett.

Have heard all the craze about Good Smoke. Unfortunately for this experience it was less than satisfactory. I got the three meat combo with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and ribs. Unfortunately both pulled products were extremely dry with little to no sauce and the ribs were dry as well. I ended up having to use another sauce that I had at home as there was little to none on the products. I got sweet potato fries and Mac and cheese for sides. The sweet potato fries were good the Mac and cheese seemed a bit on the older side again unfortunate but a bit more understanding being it is a Sunday night. There was a long wait for pickup which happens sometimes. I will give the place another shot as I have heard great things and maybe it was just a off night.

Big fan of Good Smoke! It’s HUGE, East Rochester, huGE! I’ve been here three times at this point. The drinks HIT and the food never misses! I’m a big fan of doing trivia here on Thursday nights.

Street parking was fine. The staff were all pleasant. The waitress was attentive and checked on us regularly. The food was well proportioned and delicious. The service was quick and the food was the perfect temperature❗

Hands down the best ribs I’ve ever had. The sauce options were all unique and delicious. The meat had a nice crisp exterior while the inside was so tender. My girlfriends chicken was a little dry but that’s her fault for not ordering ribs at a BBQ joint ♀️ the sides were all on point as well. Cajun corn wasn’t overly spiced, Mac n Cheese was pretty good and the mashed potatoes with gravy were absolute perfection! This will definitely be a place we stop by more often when visiting Rochester.

Came for an early dinner. We got the pulled pork poutine to share. It was good plenty of pulled pork on it. I got the 2 meat combo with brisket and ribs. Both were good. For sides I got mac and cheese and slaw. Mac and cheese was very creamy and well seasoned. The slaw was crunchy. Would go again.

Trying a new to me place. We had chili and sweet potato fries and ribs with a couple of drinks. I’d be willing to eat there again if someone suggested it since there were other good sounding foods. I did like what we had to eat. It’s a pretty fair bar inside. Nothing bad or outstanding is all.

Dinosaur – – – shouldn’t even be said in this statement. But this is by fare the best in Rochester… I’ve eaten in some great places and the bartender and the food deserve more then 5⭐️..

Recently discovered this place. Everything we had was quite good- in terms of flavor they certainly played it safe. I was hoping for a bit more of that smoke flavor and a bit more spice- but that’s not to suggest their food wasn’t good.
