Okie Dokies Smokehouse - Swannanoa

Okie Dokies catered a party for me yesterday,May 4th, 2024 with their mobile unit. Steve crew were fabulous! Pleasant folks, very professional. Food was fresh, hot, delicious and plentiful. They were on time and fully prepared. Was a great experience and have already booked another date for catering later this year. Great job Okie Dokies!!.

I’ve been frequenting this spot for several years, but my visit today left me disappointed. It used to be my go-to BBQ place, but given my experience and the price I paid, I could have gone to Phil’s BBQ in Black Mountain and gotten much more food for the same $13. The amount of slaw served was so minimal that it hardly seemed worth trying, and they’ve swapped out the steak fries for overly salted crinkle fries. The BBQ sandwich was decent, but it was the only redeeming element of my meal. I never imagined I would write such a review, especially since I live just 5 minutes away from Okie Dokies. I would advise you to steer clear of the daily lunch special – it costs $11.99 for a BBQ sandwich, baked beans, a tiny cup of slaw, and chips that look just like the Ruffles you buy in the store!

The only dish we truly enjoyed was the pork. The chicken was just okay, the hush puppies were bland, and the fries were served cold.

I was the first dine-in customer of the day and I had the fall-off-the-bone ribs that didn't even need any sauce. Coming from Texas, I can say I know my ribs! I'll definitely be coming back!

The is the best BBQ around. Great food, fair prices and outstanding service. The jalapeno hush puppies are great too.
