Coach's Smoke

Well, another family owned business owned by local area here in Waco. We stumbled across Coach's BBQ SMOKE last night on the 10 o'clock news there are a few good things that come out of a snow storm 😀. This little BBQ & BAR was just one of the many we have discovered. I'm sure there are many more. The owners are a 5 star humble kinda couple. The atmosphere speaks for itself. The drinks as well. the appetizers, as well as the lunch and LETS NOT forgot the PEACH COBBLER. The brisket i cut with my fork as well as the smoked turkey an baked chicken. Though let me back up just a bit the appetizers are more than heaping so know when to say when, or ask for a to go box this way you'll have room for the BRISKET. ENOUGH said.

My wife and I found the pulled pork was cooked to perfection. The sides were spot on. The server gave us the perfect balance of attention. The owner came out and we had a nice conversation about the Waco area and points further south. We truly appreciated the insights he provided. If we are ever in the area again this will be a must go.

Met ALL the expectations. Visited on a busy Friday night and was seated quickly and served with friendliness. The meat was tender and the prices were manageable (specials are where it’s at). Definitely a place to try. One just has to remember that it is a down and dirty bbq joint with a hopping bar and slightly spicy bbq sauce.

The food was good but the customer service was not great. I was charged more for drinks than what the special on the board behind the bar said it was when I brought it to their attention they told me that they were going to change it this one time and that it says it in fine print on the menu. When I tried to tell them that it should say it on the board they were rude and ignored me, I have never felt so disrespected, I usually tip anywhere from 15 to 25% even with poor service. Today was the first time I didn't tip.
