Delicious food. Very friendly owner. Reasonable priced highly recommended

Super good kosher food, good vibes, good customer service,nice and clean place,

My brother decided to throw a birthday party at 10:30 p.m. Thanks to smokzilla's late hours, we still enjoyed an unhurried celebration. The food was divine! You truly feel the love and unmatched culinary skill in every dish! The modern-rustic decor enhances the welcoming atmosphere in smokzilla and the prices are very reasonable.

Wow wow this place is next level delicious food great great prices overall an awesome restaurant come check it out for yourself you won’t regret it I promise

Don’t judge a book by its cover! This place might not look like your typical restaurant — but wow, the food is absolutely next level. Every bite was packed with flavor, perfectly smoked, and better than anything I’ve had at high-end spots. If you’re looking for incredible BBQ without the fluff, this is the place. A hidden gem that delivers big.

A really good place to come with friends! They have real good food! and for a normal price! And normal late night hours!! Highly recommended!!!!

Very Cozy Comfy Place Smoked to perfection with a Heimishe Geshmak, it's a smokehouse still having the Heimishe taste to it I have to point out the fresh made burger to order was my highlight, grilled to perfection packed with flavor juicy and tender, temperature was on point. The smoked Brisket was delicious and soft pull apart rich smokey fatty with some good lean meat as well The hot pastrami sandwich was loaded and very tasty yummy comfort food The fries was fresh and crispy The Condiments wasn't slacking the sour pickle was the prefect crunch and flavorful and the Coleslow was flavor packed fresh with a crunch to it The Schnitzel has an interesting twist the crumb coating is thicker to maximize the crunch and flavor, it's different then any other I had keeps it interesting, it's not the same Fried cutlet as always or just a different coating, it changes the dynamic. Overall highly recommended to go check out this place Friendly staff they have the customer in mind and explain everything and making sure to serve you best. The place is clean and not overcrowded. It's a different experience in a whearhouse very cool to try it.

This restaurant is most definitely worth a try. Although the outside appearance of the restaurant may be alarming and remind you of low budget horror film, I highly recommend you put that image aside. I had to convince my husband to turn back around into the parking lot as this was the correct GPS location! My 9 year old daughter also requested we take the food to go however we ended up eating inside which was uniquely decorated. My husband had the brisket platter and the Mediterranean Dip appetizer which was both amazing! It was enough for two adults to share. The brisket was tender and fell apart and the smokiness was on point! I am a huge fan of Mediterranean and this dish did not disappoint. The falafel had the most amazing flavor, the pita was soft and authentic and the dips were very tasty! My daughter ordered the fries which were very fresh and crisp! This is one restaurant I won't forget and I would definitely come back next when we are in the area!
