Sp's Smokehouse - Knightdale

I apparently missed something. I got the impression by the web site and online menu that SP Smokehouse was a ……smokehouse. Went there for the first and last time today and discovered it was a dark, dingie sports bar with bar food menus. The brisket sandwich was the closest thing to bbq on the menu, and it was decent. The onion rings were mushy and soggy inside. Their tea was almost all water. They were out of my second choice drink, so I got the third choice. I only give them 3 stars because the waitress was very friendly and attentive. Not at all what we expected or hoped for.

This is a food offering inside of another business. The bbq nachos were good but the beef brisket tasted like it was store brought and not cooed on site. There was no bbq sauce offered with it and the bbq needed it.

The brisket nachos are nothing to write home about. I've had better brisket off of food trucks. It was dry and bland. The nachos tasted even less appealing than they looked. Ice say someone dumped nachos on a plate, threw some tomatoes on em, added some meat and then cheese before nuking them for 60seconds. I'm not gonna say they're the worst nachos I've ever ordered, but next time I'll just get some from the Taco Bell down the road. Nothing positive about this experience.

Just purchased almost $60 worth of SP smokehouse through grub hub. What in the southern bbq blasphemy…?We ordered two brisket plates. The brisket is dry and bland and none of it came with any sauce to help it. No bbq or vinegar anything. The hush puppies are hard and chalky. Also no honey butter or anything to make them less dry or palatable.I don’t speak Ill of cornbread so we just won’t say anything since I can’t say anything nice.The mashed potatoes are made of exactly potatoes and water. There was absolutely no seasoning or flavor to them. Only about three bites were provided anyway so maybe it was for the best?The macaroni and cheese is a soupy bowl of cheesy colored liquid with semi hard noodles. Again no seasoning or flavor.2/5 stars because it was made quickly…

The SP Smokehouse BBQ fell short. The brisket and pulled pork was flavorless. Smithfield BBQ has better flavor. The bases loaded fries were good and the wait staff was friendly.
