Smokin Friday Bbq - Roseburg

Great little ride. the strawberry limonade was very good. enjoyed the drawn black sun. the $28 family meal is a bit expensive for what they get. wish more of the items were homemade but it is a little joint! the tri tip tasted as if it was from the day before, meat has a pronounced taste when it was from rest! the pulled booze was great. the Bbq sauce was good and had a little spicy on it. the baked beans. the customer service was the best notch for us. it can sometimes outweigh the taste of the food. it is really hard to get bbq as they know it should taste and be made!

Uninspired. Decent menu and fairly priced, but I've had much better pork bbq. The green beans were boring with almost no flavor. Also, the potato salad was okay, but little better than store bought. Overall, I expected better.

For the last 4 years this place used to be a go-to stop for our family. When you weighed the quality of the food, the price and the speed of service, it was a great value. And, we preferred to support a locally owned business (as opposed to Subway). We especially enjoyed the chicken wraps and pork sundays. Unfortunately, the new owners have not been able to maintain this value. The quality of the food has diminished (not as hot, utensils are forgotten, less food), the wait times have especially gotten bad, and now the prices have spiked. Now, I acknowledge that inflation, COVID, Biden, quality of labor, etc have made it difficult for any small business to thrive. But the bottom line still comes down to return on investment. I might be willing to accept less quality or a longer wait time, but not for a 30%-50% increase in price. The staff are still nice, and I assume they are trying their hardest, and I truly hope this business will turn around. But I don't anticipate spending money here for the foreseeable future.

Ordered Smoking Friday for lunch at work with a coworker and had it DoorDashed. We ordered the Loaded Potatoes with Tri Tip. Potato was cooked to perfection but the rest was unfortunately a failure. The tri tip was bland-zero flavor. It tasted like it has been boiled and didn’t even seem like tri tip or maybe it was old. I am uncertain but I for sure know the meat was inedible. I wouldn’t have fed it to my dog and I am thankful I did not get sick. The coleslaw on the potato tasted like the inside of a fridge like it was leftover from the day before without a lid on it. Not really sure what happened but what we had didn’t taste anywhere close to barbecue and I would have rather eaten three day old McDonald’s. It is really unfortunate. I might give them another chance in the future but for now this is what I rate Smokin’ Fridays. Would not recommend.

Meat was super dry and cover in too sweet BBQ sauce which did not taste right. Mash potatoes tasted weird to like they added some weird fruit juice or lavender to it.
