Smoke and Go BBQ

Great staff and food, but the price has gone up so much that I am not sure I will be returning.

Awesomeness… how Bbq should be done, hardwood smoked, great flavor and juicy. slaw was chopped just right, will be back !!

Nice atmosphere, good bbq and a cozy outdoor firepit area to relax after dinner. I’m a fan!

Amazing — the pulled pork was one of the best I have had. Recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp. Great atmosphere for BBQ!

Awesome BBQ takeout. Quick, a ton of food, service with a smile. We ALWAYS have left overs for a few days. We usually get 1 lbs of pulled pork a large Mac n cheese, Med. Coleslaw for my husband and I. A cheeseburger for my daughter. The pulled pork or chicken is great on a taco too.
My only suggestion would be to give more buns with the pound of meats. There are never enough… But that’s how we discovered putting it on a Taco works too.
Not a fan of the fried Ochra but maybe That’s because I’m not a Southerner?
Anyway, keep up the good work! My family loves this place. So convenient and yummy.

SGB is the bomb BBQ! Mouth watering ribs, brisket, pork and chicken. The smoker hits your nose the moment you pull up. The staff is friendly and courteous and the food came out quick and hot. Make SGB your next BBQ stop!

I was on a brief vacation to Charlotte and I really wanted to try some NC BBQ. Being from San Diego, well yeah I need legit BBQ.
So it was 35 degrees outside at 4pm at their normal Saturday gas station location. They had the most amazing brisket and chicken. I had to get seconds for later on. I totally can taste the vinegar smoked into the meat.
The people were great and told me to wait in the car (being a California girl… yeah they figured I’m not handling this cold well) and they brought it directly to me
The mac n cheese was pretty decent too and the gentleman in charge of the twitter account actually took a break from cooking to greet me!
All I have to say, if you’re in Charlotte on a Saturday, get there early because beef ribs was sold out quick. And since I’m allergic to pork, can’t comment on their pork ribs.

ABSOLUTELY love this place! I got to try them at a fall festival and their bbq is so delicious, one of the best I’ve tried! Also you will leave here feeling amazing because the service you get is phenomenal.

I had never been here before today and I must say the Chopped Pork sandwich with french fries was amazing! My family and I will definitely be back. Beyond the food, the customer service was outstanding. I am so impressed and happy to have found this gem! Thank you!

Consistently good bbq. Friendliest service ever. Gotta love good food and good people all in the same spot.

One of the BEST bbq Sandwiches I’ve ever had. I ordered the shaved pork sandwich $ 6 (no sides). It’s a fairly large sandwich piled «all the way» with slaw and smothered in a tangy bbq sauce that is seriously delicious. I agree, it’s a bit on the pricier side, but I will have no problem ponying up the $ 6 next time I see the Smoke & Go Food Truck. Yum!

This little family operation might be one of the best kept secrets in the Cornelius/​HVille/​LKN area. They setup shop at cashions @ the intersection of Catawba Ave & 73 on most Saturday & Sunday’s. They trailer their BBQ pit directly to the site, so you know they are doing things right because the smell is just amazing. I do a lot of BBQ myself, but when I am in a pinch, or in the BBQ mood and don’t feel like spending all day on it, this is perfect. The portions are large enough to split between two, and the prices are really pretty fair for the quality of the product. The staff is awesome always smiling, and happy to be serving you. The pork & brisket, are excellent examples of what good BBQ is all about, the meat. You get a perfect amount of smoke, and it is not all sauced up. You actually taste meat instead of just a sticky/​sweet artificial smoke flavor. Their sides are ok, the slaw is chopped fine and is light and crunchy. The Mac & Cheese could use a little tinkering with, the last few times we have had it, the flavor was a little bland for me. You really cannot go wrong with any one of the BBQ items. Check it out if you are in the area, you won’t be disappointed.

Update to my last review. Portions have gotten smaller and prices have gone way up! It went from $ 8.99 per lb for pulled pork BBQ to over $ 12 per lb. I loved it when we first moved here but in my opinion it’s overpriced. You can get great BBQ for much lower prices at other places.

This review is based on their Fish Sandwiches and sides. I got their tilapia fish sammy and thought it tasted a little fishy. Definitely not fresh but still edible. Nothing special added to it but your basic tartar sauce and optional cheese and hot sauce. The bun was also a little stale. Honestly, I also don’t think it was worth the price either. You can spend a few bucks more and get it gourmet style from Bone Fish Grill. Service is great. They are probably the nicest food truck folks I’ve ever encountered. I didn’t care for their fried okra. It was too bready and tasted previously frozen. But if you’re on the go and passing through then this place is a go-​to.

I was extremely impressed with their smoky, surprisingly delicious, pulled pork BBQ sandwich. The sandwich was large. The meat was tender. The pork had noticeable smoke rings, just enough burnt ends, and a wonderful smoked flavor that is exceeding hard to find nowadays. This is GOOD BBQ!
All the employees were friendly and courteous.
As I drove away, I gave everyone there a big thumbs up to show my appreciation of their efforts. They all waved and gave me huge smiles in return.
This is excellent pulled pork barbecue, and far superior to the vast majority of barbecue restaurants. If I lived in Huntersville or Cornelius, I would eat here once a week. I think that you will pleased if you give them a try.
MENU and PRICES:

I used several groupons to try Smoke and Go and I was able to sample a few of the menu items over several visits. The fish, chicken, brisket and mac and cheese were all decent but not good enough for a return visit in my opinion. The bbq sandwich on the other hand would probably be a reason to return but I don’t tend to eat bbq that often… that being said, the mobile crew were all very nice and the wait time is minimal if you happen to be in the area with bbq on your mind.

Oh, my. Why has it taken me so long to try Smoke and Go? They usually park their food truck outside the Cashion’s gas station on the corner of Catawba and Sam Furr each Friday and Saturday, so they are easy to find!
Their BBQ has a real wood-​smoked flavor that is just phenomenal. I have never had BBQ with flavor like this. And it’s chopped, too. The only downsides? And this is really based on personal preference — their sauce is tomato-​based, not vinegar-​based, and their coleslaw is slightly sweet. I do wish other sauces were available for those of us who prefer the eastern Carolina style of BBQ. However, with BBQ this tasty, I can just skip the sauce!
I’ll definitely return for lunch and will absolutely consider them to cater any upcoming parties.

Just want to add a few things. First off, the hours and days available change weekly. We went to go last Saturday and the truck was nowhere to be found. If you go to the website and click on the «WeeklyMenu» button it will say where and when it will be that week.
Took the miss’ today and I just wanted to throw out how ridiculously awesome the brisket sandwich ($ 6.35) is. I definitely enjoyed it slightly more than the chopped pork. It’s a huge portion of tender, smokey beef brisket simply piled on this bun. Throw on their sauce and coleslaw and you’ve got yourself one heck of a lunch. The miss’ is also now a fan of the chopped pork sandwich. It was a little too big for her so she ate half today and has the other half for her lunch tomorrow… that is, if I don’t get to it first!

I am not a big BBQ eater, but after Rob B’s review, I had to make an effort to catch Smoke & Go when they were open. Saturday was the day. I wasn’t too hungry so I ordered the fried chicken (one of my favorites). The veggies were slim picking (they ran out), so I ended up with fries because that’s what one of the kids wanted. The other wanted a hot dog… she said it was de-​li-​cious. In any case, the chicken was well prepared, not overly seasoned, and definitely not salty. Other patrons were buying BBQ by the pound so I will try that the next time. I did get a slice of the red velvet cake. I am no expert on red velvet cake but this cake made my tummy feel great!

Smoke n Go can be found in Huntersville at the Cashion’s at the corner of Sam Furr and Catawba on most Saturdays. Not sure of the rest of their schedule though.
My hunger and their appearance never seemed to be in synch until today. To celebrate, I had a chopped pork sandwich that was HUGE. I’m not kidding. Could have easily been two sandwiches. It had a good smokey flavor, all meat, no fat, good bark and was served with a Western North Carolina type sauce and some coleslaw on top of a sesame seed bun. I have to say that it was pretty damn good and I look forward to another visit to try some more of their fare.
