Smoky Market Foods, Inc. (fka SMKY)

[beachsideeddy2]

Doesn't sound very promising. Too many people think the food sucks

The cons are unfortunately the food. The portions are not very big. My husband had the tri tip. There were about 8 or 9 very thinly sliced pieces. They looked a bit dry, and considering he was dipping them into his baked beans, I would think they were quite dry. I ordered the smoked trout fillet, but they no longer carry it. I had the smoked salmon with fig balsamic glaze. I ate about 5 bites, but it was so dry, and not particularly tasty, so I gave up. My sweet potato fries had remarkably little flavor. My take on the salmon and the tri tip is it is reheated, and not vary well. My daughter had the baby back ribs. I took at tiny taste. They were not all that tender, and had too much sauce on them.

So, for a restaurant that is supposed to be about the flavorful smoked meats, I have to say, "Methinks not."

Also, I read the blurb on all the tables about the creation of the restaurant and am totally confused. I think it says that the restaurant's purpose is to showcase Smoky Meat's packaged foods. I think that is very odd. Like a Campbell's Soup or Oscar Meyer restaurant?
