I have smoke hundreds of pounds of pork butt and always find restaurant BBQ to be lacking. That's not the case here! There pulled pork bbq has a great smokey flavor. It's never been too dry or too finely chopped. The sauces are good and they have a few different kinds. I'm a big fan of fried pickles so I... More

Excellent BBQ, one of our top two meals during our recent trip to the mountains. Definitely the best value for our money. The ribs fall a part. Hush puppies were very good. Looks like a hole in the wall. But don't let the appearance fool you.

Smokey Que's is consisitently good. They have several barbeque sauces to choose from for your pork or chicken, also have fish, and offer more vegetable selection (including steamed) than most BBQ restaurants. Portions are very generous, servers are friendly and prompt, the atmosphere is clean and tasteful. We eat there regularly.

Something they used disagreed with me. Just me! Barbeque is not my favorite food anyway. My husband wanted to eat there.

While touring around the Asheville area we ended up hungry in Marion and thanks to Trip Advisor found this wonderful little roadside 'cue joint. My ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, very fresh and tasty with a variety of sauces to choose from (we liked the sweet and hot the best). My husband had a pulled pork sandwich with fries. The service... More

The strong smokey flavor of this BBQ is just excellent..it is a little too finely chopped for my taste, and can be a little dry sometimes, but the sauce makes up for it..the dense rich smoke flavor of the meat mixing with the tangyness of the sauce..very very good..the prices aren't bad at all.

I love this place!! I live in Charlotte but have family in Marion. We make smokeys a priority!! Great BBQ and best ribs I have EVER had!! Corn nuggets are also a must. Good prices. Check weekly specials- Monday half rack ribs only 7.99. You won't be disappointed.

My husband and I enjoy Smokey Que's because it is a low-key, great food, service, and quality restaurant. We enjoy the combination plate, in particular, the bbq and catfish. There is a great selection of different sauces for the bbq and great southern sides as well! The onion straws are a wonderful appetizer and it is nice that it is... More
