“The beer and the barbecue were amazing. I took my wife and kids out to a special dinner at this restaurant. I do not usually eat barbecue but I found their food to be extremely good. The brisket with burnt ends was amazing. The beer was cold and delicious. The staff was very nice.” – Dennis T.

“I LOVE this place. It’s conveniently located near my apartment. They have the best food and drinks. I recommend their strawberry “Mac” Margarita. DELICIOUS. Every single staff member is sweet and amazing!” – Amberly H.
Noble Smoke
Noble Smoke is a place to relax Southern-style and enjoy some great barbecue with friends. For 25 years, Chef Jim Noble chased his dream of making barbecue all over the South, crossing the Carolinas, traveling to Texas twice, and sampling ribs and pork sandwiches everywhere in between. Off the road, he’d get lost in books and cookbooks, reading up on a tradition that is nothing short of personal to pitmasters and diners alike.
When the Noble Smoke was opened it marks the end of this long journey. It’s a tribute to the legendary pitmasters that made the rules. It’s sincere evidence of Noble’s longtime love for smoked meats.
