Very cute and simple. Food comes out incredibly fast. In the parking lot of a community centre overlooking some fields.

We had the pleasure of trying the brisket and pork ends. Both very tasty. The dirty rice and corn were also amazing and really friendly people as well..... ignore the bad review it's impossible to rate this little place a 1* no chance.

Delicious food and friendly service. The brisket philly sandwich, the sausage, and all the sides (corn, slaw, mac’n’cheese) were great, and there were plenty of picnic tables to relax at. Added bonus: The Honeywood Sweet Shop set up at the other end of the picnic tables if you’re looking for cookies and ice cream for dessert.

Scot was great to work with, we used The Wood Smoke Shack for a company BBQ last weekend, we wanted a couple of options, brisket and chicken, Scot worked with us so we could have both, and served us buffet style! When all the guests arrived, food was put out on hot plates, and was topped up when they were about to run out. As mentioned, we had smoked chicken and brisket for the main, bacon corn, coleslaw and smoked potatoes for our sides. Nothing failed to impress, we had wooden cutlery, brisket still melted apart! Skin on the chicken was amazingly smokey, and meat below that, cooked to perfection! Bacon corn was amazing, ( a hit with our guests ) and i cant say anything bad about the slaw and taters as well! I could not have asked for a better caterer for our event, and will probably be using him again next year ! 10/10 recommend. don't miss this local gem! he aims to please, and if anything is up for debate, he will smash your expectations out of the park!

We heard about this place from a friend. Went for a nice hour Sunday drive. So worth it. Food was absolutely amazing. Owner was awesome. Came over to check to make sure we enjoyed the food. The horseradish sauce on the chicken was fire. Definitely coming back.
