Awesome Food... wonderful staff Eat Enjoy....go back again and again
Great BBQ
Best ribs I have ever had. No joke. Jail breaker is great too if you want something quick. Sides are good, not great, but the meats can't be beat. Pig taters are a good choice too. Very filling on their own.
Super nice people really good food
Love this place. Pig taters are amazing.
Fast and friendly service. Great food. I don't think you can go wrong whatever you order.
Great authentic barbecue, amazing variety of sauces, cute decor, clean bathrooms, fast service. I'm just sad I was only passing through. I wish I lived close enough to go every week!
All good
Super friendly staff. Really overpriced for quality and portion size.
Their food is delicious... When they aren't OUT of it.
I had to talk my wife into trying this place on our travels. She ended up buying 2 bottles of the bbq sauce before we left! Amazing food and great servers!
The wife and I stopped in at Smokey Bears BBQ to get take out only because we had our dog with us to hot out to leave him in the truck. We got back to our resort to eat the food and say none to lease what we ordered is not what we got . You can just imagine the disappointment we had. So I called them up and talked to the manager I told him what had happened with our order . He told me to come back the next day or when ever we had the chance and he would take care of us. So I went back the next and asked for the manager told him who I was and he asked me what we order I told him. He gave us what we ordered and plus some I was very impressed with the way he handled every thing I will definitely go back there if I am in town. I feel the manager (Wes) was very professional in how he handled everything I tip my hat to you Wes
The service is top notch and the food is so very good!
We had a party of 6 and we're very impressed. The only negative were the cold ribs, but that was rectified and we enjoyed everything.
Great food, great service, decent prices. Definitely check it out if you're looking for good BBQ
My car made my last review. Only one star. Maybe I should give some of the bbq to my cat. Lol... This place is yummy. Friendly staff cozy and warm welcoming.
The service was not very good. I found out later that they were very short-handed. My barbecue sandwich was very good but my server never came back to the table when my wife and I needed refills and extra ketchup which was given to us in small cups. My wife hamburger was burnt. And I don't mean just a little bit. It was black
I have to lead this review by saying that I am visiting Corbin from Kansas City, one of the top BBQ restaurant cities in the country! In my opinion BBQ meat should be full of flavor and smoke without sauce and the sauce should compliment the meat. I got the specialty sandwich with pulled pork (my favorite) and was a bit disappointed. The meat had almost no smoke or seasoned flavor but had a boiled or steamed pork taste to it. I had one chunk of the crust in my sandwich and it was better with good smoke and flavor but they are not leaving it long enough to permeate the meat. On the flip side the beer battered onion rings were great as was the baked beans and BBQ sauce. The sauce had the right lever of spicy bite, and sweet that made the meat jump out. The service was good and the food came in a reasonable time. Overall this is a place worth going but not above average by any means.
Delicious bbq. Some of the best that u can get here locally by far. The brisket is divine! *P.S. Request the Spicy Jailbreaker with brisket....u can thank me later.
Great barbecue, good price and excellent service. We always stop when going through Corbin.
The best food! Even if you're not in the mood for barbecue, they have something for everyone! Its become our go to restaurant! My husband absolutely loves the spicy jailbreaker and I love the fried catfish. Wonderful atmosphere and the staff have always been awesome, each and every time we've visited (which has been often). Best prices around too!
This place is awesome! Everything is house made. I highly recommend this restaurant!!
Had the pulled pork sandwich, the jailbird sandwich , and "pig taters. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. Definitely rated a return visit.
Amazing
Very well made burgers, onion rings, and potato salad. Clearly made in-house, and not purchased elsewhere. Definitely, a place to stop at on your way through the area!
Always good food and good service.
Great BBQ. Owned by a retired police officer.
I go there about 2 times a month. They always have delicious food with very generous portions for the pricing. Staff is so friendly and prompt. I've taken family from Texas there and they LOVE it and request to go every time they visit. Highly recommend to anyone, especially non-locals looking for a quick tasty local place.
I ate Smokey Bear's for the first time 5 years ago and loved it! I have only become more convinced since of my opinion. Honestly, hands down, the best restaurant around! Keep up the good work (and service) guys!
First time here. Food was great. Ordered catfish and grilled fresh chicken, pulled pork . Sauce was great for pulled pork (sweet & spicy)..other options available. Catfish was fresh and deep fried. It was delicious! Chicken grilled it was juicy and grilled , was great. Waitress was really friendly and food was fast. Great place to eat!! Are too fast before I could take a pic....sorry. it was that good!!!
The food is amazing!!!! The service is great!!! I definitely recommended!!!
Love the food. Love the atmosphere. Priced right, and the service is great.
Walked in late after being on the road for 6 hours, staff was so nice, food was amazing, ribs were mouthwatering... Too bad we don't come this way more often so we could visit again! A must stop!
That Jail Breaker is amazing. I just want to hold the sandwich above my face and let the white sauce they put on it slowly drip on my face and roll down it. As a matter of fact, I am going to go eat there today, right now to be precise.
Great food, great workers, and great barbecue sauce!!
This place was fantastic!! Friendly service, clean, homey atmosphere. Cops eat here too so I have to assume that it's one of your safer places to eat. The food was to die for. We ate steak sandwiches and took the leftovers home, TOO good to waste and TOO much to eat in one sitting so MORE bang for your buck too! Great for families, couples or singles.
I have celiac disease, and we visited the restaurant for the first time today. The staff was very knowledgeable and directed me to the g.f. items. I had pulled pork, grilled corn on the cob and the best g.f. garlic bread Ive ever tasted. Was very pleased and no reaction. We will definitely be back!
Nice service great food. Had a problem with some brisket on take out recently, took pics, went back and brought to managers attention, fixed, no problem. Will definitely eat here again.
Great food! Try the spicy pig tators!
Great for BBQ. Fast and good service. Easy to get back on US 25E.
Delicious. My buddy told me about this place. We both have family in the area, and were both here from SC,so we met up here. The jailbreaker was worth the trip
Some of the best I ever had
We came in with a large group from our church and it was our first time visiting. I thought the place looked great and the atmosphere was really nice. Our service was also really nice. The food was where we had an issue. We had several people that had to send food back and i personally ordered pulled pork and fries and I couldn't even eat the fries they were so hard. They get 3 stars simply because everything else was on point and I hope the food was just a fluke.
A small little bbq place, but sooo good. I love bbq and this place was worth the discovery.
Local BBQ!! Everything on the menu is good and if you are adventurous and really hungry you can tackle a “JailBreaker”, which is a lot of good bbq meat and sauce on a bun, can’t go wrong here! Physical location could be updated and enlarged. It is a tiny dining area and is not inviting for large crowds. Outdoor seating would bump it up to 5 stars!
Food was amazing. 10/10
If you stopped in Corbin to honor the Colonel, stop by the museum but eat here instead. Great BBQ with wonderful peppery BBQ sauce.
Great food
Fantastic as always. Simply stated: they know what they're doing. It is obvious how much they care about the quality of their food and they appreciate each and every customer who dines there. Thanks again.for the gluten free options as well as your regular menu. We will return.
Food was good and staff was very friendly!
Very friendly service. A lot of food for the price. The ribs were fall apart tender. The French fries were seasoned and very tasty.
Very good
My first time checking the place out It was during the evening time I wanted to try out the catfish Bad choice I did not like how it was battered , hardly any catfish with all that batter and was over cooked. way to long. plus one of your waitresses was a complete b- - ch.
Recommended by a co-worker and it did not disappoint. The Spicy Jailbreaker was fantastic and the fries were cooked perfectly! If I’m ever passing through again I will definitely be back!
This is a legit place to eat. Being married to a Texan who wins smoking competitions, we don't usually visit BBQ restaurants but after reading reviews decided we should. It is delicious. I give it four stars because nary a beer is sold in this place. Service was excellent, portion sizes really good, and the sauces were all delicious. All together we sampled the brisket, sausage, ribs, pork and catfish. The pork was not as tasty as the other items; and the fries were not hot.
I got the half rack of ribs and okra - both were the best I've had in a while. Their original bbq sauce is good, but their spicy bbq is amazing. Prices were reasonable and service was great.
Don't miss out on this delicious food when in the Corbin area. Everything here is fresh and delicious. My favorite are the classic pig taters (they have a spicy version too) with tater tots. Highly recommend!
Best pulled pork and ribs combo also great fried catfish with good service...
Great employees manager helpful great food
Love this place!!! You wouldn't expect much out of a little hole in the wall restaurant, but these guys are doing it right in a big way. The barbecue sandwiches, deep fried pickle chips and corn nuggets are outta this world. Keep up the great work guys!
Big portion. Jailbaiter was delicious. Need more options for smaller kids. Service very friendly.
Very good first pulled pork I've actually liked. Awesome sandwich my dad said. Thank you from my first trial.
Best BBQ within 200 miles. Never had better.
Great food and service , sweet sweet tea. Enjoyed it all. Will be back
Drove 25 minutes just to get the wings from here. Customer service is wonderful. My order was messed up so Rob the manager was kind to offer some complimentary ribs and tots for the road. I’m from Texas and this was a prime example of southern hospitality. I’m also a huge fan of their bbq sauce and ranch to complement the corn nuggets, tots, and the spicy jail breaker! Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu.
Had Carolina bbq proportion were fair for the price.
We drove over an hour just to get brisket. When we got there they were sold out. We were very disappointed, but our waitress made the manager aware of what had happened and he went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied even if we didnt get our brisket. We ended up getting a sample platter with a little of everything. They will be seeing us often!! Amazing food and service.
I absolutely loved this place. Not only are the people friendly as can be, but the food was so good. I've never been real big on bbq places because the meat is always too dry, but this place had it down just right. The meat was juicy and tender and the flavor was so good you didn't even need bbq sauce! Would totally recommend.
Best bbq in Kentucky! And the staff is very nice!
The brisket was tender, fries, and slaw was delicious.
Great food friendly service will be eating there more often
One of the best BBQ places in the area. Great business also! They wld come to my previous employment 2x a week with several menu items! I highly recommend them and my favorite menu item-Pig Tots!!!
Food was excellent and service was fast!
Awesome food, great waitress, best fried pickles, large portions. Awesome all around
Great brisket. Good sides.
Delish ..oh and the housemade ranch is amazing on everything
Best BBQ in Corbin hands down.
Hands down some of the best BBQ I've ever had! My friend and I do nationwide transportation and we've visited so many BBQ joints in so many states. This one was by far one of the best! Price per quantity is perfect considering the places I've eaten at. You really do get an obnoxious amount of food for a very fair price. The ribs are spectacular the rack fell apart so easily and tasted fantastic! Pulled pork is a big favorite of mine and theirs held to my standards. The hand shredded chicken was fantastic and I was certain it would be dry like most places but not one bit! The fries were great and we also got the fried pickles and corn nuggets, I was pleased with both but I would recommend using a thicker, crunchier batter for the fried pickles. The only additional reccomendation would be to have a greater variety of sauces at the table. I love hot sauce and sweet BBQ but Carolina vinegar, mustard base, things like that are great as well. All in all we were very impressed with this place and have both decided to make it a regular stop for us on our way back down south. Even more so being located one mile from the Pilot Truck stop. SCREW SONNY'S HANG A LEFT! For my brothers in boots, they do have a good military discount! See y'all soon!
Good food. The ribs were falling off the bone. Very tender. Friendly service
Great people, great food, and decent price for portions! Fed a family get together for under $100 and had left overs.
I placed a carry out order. When I got home I immediately ate. The meal was pretty bad. The fries were just some old ones they had laying around. The sandwich was just a plain ol sandwich, not cold but hot. They gave me a little dish of sauce and it was cold as well. That place is always packed, I expected so much more. I understand I came in late (8ish), but dang. My family has zero desire to go back.
Beef brisket is so tender you can cut it with a fork! Best l ever ate!
Great food. Never a disappointment. Burger-lovers must try the Outlaw. Best burger around.
Quick and good!
Best pork around Great people!
This is hands down the best BBQ place I've ever been too
Great five star ⭐️ BBQ is here!!! Also thrust quenching ice tea .. The place looks small from the outside but there is plenty of room on the inside to enjoy your meal. Service is very good and the place is clean but still has a realistic atmosphere. Conveniently located slightly off I-75 .
Great food and great service. My favorite lunch stop!
Delicious food and welcoming staff!
Fantastic service and delicious food
Small hometown barbeque joint... One of the best I've ever had! Shauna, our server was great!!!
We did the sampler and it was delicious! The service was superb. This will be a must stop whenever we pass through.
No togo box was needed, for my boy
AWESOME
Passing through on way to Talladega speedway from Toronto and I would give this place a 10 out of 10 staff and food awesome . I would highly recommend this place. Pulled pork mmmm pig bites and ribs also catfish. All 5 of of us enjoyed are meals and good price. Keep up the great work
Great place to relax and wonderful food with my love anthony
Best bbq ever
Nice little place. Meat is cooked right. A bit on the bland side, but still good. Nice friendly staff.
Fantastic food, service & overall great experience! Got my family to try the Corn Nuggets - they fell in love with them. Had the brisket - cook to perfection! No complaints & we had a party of 13. Came from Brimstone 4 wheeling - can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Now back to Ohio!
Great BBQ and friendly service
Delicious pilled pork sandwich, coleslaw and sweet potato fries! Hubby had a Brisket sandwich. We stop here whenever we pass through on our Road Trips to Florida or the Carolina's. Shanna is a great asset to place, always cheerful and very personable... great service!
Loved there good corn puffs is my favourite
I love eating here. Some of the best BBQ you will ever have.
Excellent food and service.
Really good food. They also help with animal rescue benefits. Generous people.
Stopped here when we got off the highway to get gas. Glad we did. Small restaurant, big flavor. Food and service were great. Pulled pork fries and brisket were fantastic. This is a must stop place.
The food is good and the employees are very friendly
Good food and good prices! Clean. Great service!!
Best bbq in town!!
I love this place! I recommend the jailbreaker and pig fries! I don't recommend a full size serving of either, unless you're really hungry. Their fried pickles are good as well!
Food was amazing and they even had multiple gluten free options! I will definitely be back!
Great pulled pork sandwich
Deeeelicious
Great place to eat!
Decent food, but a bit pricy. We came here to try it because a friend recommended it. Good pork sandwiches. Fries were a bit rubbery. Over all ok, but only cause they're the only BBQ place in town.
Good pork. Waitresses were absolutely great.
They have good pulled pork. Just wish they had it as a meal with 2 sides instead of just fries.
Terrific food. Friendly staff. Well worth the price.
Great food. Have to try the jail breaker
Since we were at the campgrounds and it was raining, took a little time to figure out where to go eat. We chose Smokey Bear's BBQ and glad we did. Best brisket I've ever had and my husband had the catfish and it was delish! I recommend this place to anyone going through or coming to Corbin. Everyone very nice and the service was great!
Colonel Sanders may have started KFC in Corbin but this place is a million times better and deserves to be more famous, true story. If you Love great 'Q this joint's for you!!!
Best BBQ I've ever had. Great service and a very creative menu. I've been going here for a couple years whenever I pass through town and I've never been disappointed.
Great BBQ and great service! Love the Pig Taters! They have all kinds of options, enough to satisfy everyone in the family or those that are just picky, plus gluten free deserts and more. This is definitely my new favorite place for BBQ.
Cool environment, Awesome menu with creative names, friendly staff and just a fun experience! Always an excellent experience! Definitely try out the Jailbreaker Sandwich. (Pork,Onion Tanglers, Bacon, homemade BBQ sauce and homemade ranch dressing) Pig Tators on fries or tater tots (Pork, bacon,cheese, homemade BBQ and ranch dressing) Prison yard
Good food, friendly service
Delicious!
To expensive. But good food.
Made a food delivery & also had beef brisket sandwich was great
Tasty food along my route is what I was looking for and I found it here! I ordered the Jailbreaker with corn nuggets and it was delicious
Great food! Friendly staff. Good value for the money!
Arrived at 3:50. Sign said closing at 4:00 but they still told me and my husband to come on in. We had great ribs and werent rushed at all!
The sampler was absolutely amazing! Every sauce is unique and flavorful!
Best bbq around
Amazing barbecue best I've found in the tri county area. I will be back and often.
We are locals but I am always skeptical of trying new restaurants because they seldom impress me and can be overpriced and overrated. But this joint seemed to have some staying power and I heard some good things about it through word of mouth. That's the thing about real barbeque. It advertises for itself. We popped in for a late lunch last week and i was surprised to see several customers inside. My husband ordered the jailbreaker, one of their best sellers, and i ordered a brisket sandwich. We also tried the fried corn on the cob and sweet potato fries. ALL of these items were outstanding. I sampled several sauces and liked all of them too. The sweet mustard was my favorite. We went back today for lunch, and the place was bursting at the seams with people of all ages. We each ordered something different, and Smokey Bear's failed to disappoint. As I sipped sweet tea and licked my fingers, i said "this is my new favorite restaurant!!" Give it a try!!
Really delicious food - menu includes BBQ, burgers, chicken tenders and wings, and catfish. Best crinkle fries I've had in a long time. Great local find in Corbin, KY.
Great BBQ! Gluten free diners - eat here! GF double chocolate brownies, warmed, yes warmed! Pulled pork, beans, and coleslaw (and more) all safe to eat!
Amazing food! Great prices, especially for the serving size! Fast and wonderful service. I WILL be back many times.
When it comes to BBQ, you really can't beat Smokey's. We have been 4 times now and not a single time has disappointed. The waiting staff is extremely courteous and reasonable prices. I'd recommend the "Spicy Jailbreaker" with homemade fries and a sweet tea. It is our favorite BBQ in the area and with such easy access off US-25/I-75, you should definitely stop by when passing through.
Great food and great service!
Good food great staff
The food is delicious and the service was real good.
Ate there for the first time food was great except for the coleslaw didnt care for it but everything else was perfect
Me and my nephew stopped by on our way to Gray Kentucky and we thought that was the best Barbq we have ever had the fries were awesome the service was outstanding can't wait to go back if that establishment was up here it would make a killing I am from Franklin In which is what this town.needs also the prices was very reasonable I was at city Barbq a week ago near Indianapolis and was not impressed at all Thank you for the very pleasant experience!!!
Pig Taters are my favorite! Always good food for a great price.
very tasty and great service
The best BBQ YOU CAN GET!!!!! WHY WEREN'T YOU AT NASCAR... I'm definitely coming again just for the food
Always clean and fast, the food is both consistent and great tasting. Hard to beat a place you know is just going to be a great spot.
Great BBQ best ribs I've ever had Will be back many times
Tasty.
The food was awesome. We had the pulled pork and the fried catfish. Everything was hot and tasted great. Prices were fair. However, the service was terrible. Our waitress took our drink and food order, brought us our drinks, brought us our food 10 minutes later, and never came back. We flagged another waitress down for refills. We sat there for about 5 minutes after we had finished eating, but never received a ticket. So, we went to the counter to pay, where the cashier pulled up our ticket based on where we were sitting. Our waitress then came to the counter and asked if we were at her table. The cashier told her we were. She said “Of course it was me. Always is.” We weren’t sure what to make of that. I left her a 10% tip because of the poor service. I normally leave 22%. I noticed other customers received excellent service. Their drinks were kept full, and they were checked on regularly throughout their meal. So it was probably just this particular server.
Delicious Food and Great Service. Best Brisket Ever.
I love this place. The food is AMAZING and the service is awesome!!! It is worth trying, you'll definitely want to go back!!!
Great food and friendly staff I recommend for anyone passing through so much better than chain restaurants! If you love bbq this is your place!
Check out my review on Yelp! This is one out of the way spot that I love!
Get the Jailbreaker, and in my case, get the Spicy one. Salads are large and generous so plan to take some with you as you defenetly won't leave this place hungry. With homemade ranch dressing and BBQ sauce, it's no wonder the place has won best BBQ by the Sentinel Echo year over year.
Beary good food and amazing staff!
