We were on the run to make a quick connection after weather delays and bla bla bla, and the team here were great at recommending, preparing and packing up some sides for us. We left in a hurry and didn’t have a chance to taste the food until we were at the gate. Yum! Thank you so much! I hope we weren’t too freaked out :)
Maybe I was very hungry. It wasn’t bad at all. I ordered sampler but it was really good. Wish they gave me some more sauces
Heldy took care of us when are flight was delayed. The whole staff are wonderful. Ty
If I could give this girl million starts, who is holding the whole bar on her own with so many people nagging for different things.. I would definitely would give her a 100 stars!! Thank you for been polite and positive, you and your staff! Thank you for your delicious food Smoke House.
My experience here was one of the best experiences I ever had when u traveling it’s very hard to find kind workers and people that are nice and looks like they really like what they do I went into this place just to get something quick to eat and this worker name Nikita helped me out so much from helping me order my food, making sure my food came at a reasonable time , making sure I was comfortable, and didn’t need anything else from helping me find my gate she went above and beyond made my travel so much better her energy, spirit was so uplifting. I would never forget her that made my day so much better and easier. All it takes is one person and she was my one person . And not only to me I seen her putting a smile on everyone face while I was there for the time being.
Valeria and Heidy are amazing! Great personalities and amazing customer service! The food industry is hard and labor intensive and dealing with so many people! Sometimes we are so self-absorbed that we forget that our service is their employment. And if you want your boss to respect you at your job! Remember that you should be respectful to the servers and chefs and hostesses that still put a smile on their faces to bring you a great hospitality experience! Thank you Heidy and Valeria for being amazing professionals in such an under appreciated industry! Your service is appreciated!
Delicious food, friendly staff. Decent price, overall a good experience!
Had a few hours to kill while waiting for our flight, so we looked around for a sit down restaurant. We chose Smokehouse Bar-B-Q. I ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos. My wife ordered 2 sides: Mac and Cheese with Collard Greens. I really enjoyed my food. My wife also enjoyed hers. I would suggest this location if you are in Terminal A.
