Verbatim Comments:

 

*This was an interesting set up as they are not doing any cooking on the premises. The meat is smoked and reheated which impacted the flavor of my sampler plate. It included some pork tenderloin which was lean and tender, a couple of ribs and a chicken wrap. In this case, the chicken wrap is a chicken breast pounded and tenderized wrapped around a Polish sausage with cheese and topped with bacon. There are two other chicken wraps as well. The texture of the chicken was quite dry and not very flavorful. It may have been too dried out from being smoked. The ribs were seasoned well with a terrific rub. The staff was short some help and made use of some kind friends to assist with waiting on tables. The neat surprise was a bottled raspberry sauce produced in Columbia, MO, and offered along with other regular and hot BBQ sauces.  It was especially delicious on the pork. The owner was friendly and attentive. Their location was right next to a train station, which is now an antique store.  

*They are moving in two months due to lease restrictions on serving beer.    But you can bring in your own, what a place.   

*The pork tender, while not having much BBQ taste, was the best loin I have had for quite some time. I even found a BBQ sauce I could love!!!! Cole slaw was very good. 

*I enjoyed the different sauces and the ribs. The pork did not taste like it was smoked. They have different menu items you do not see in most Bar B Q places and I will go back and try some of the other items. It is worth the trip and the service was excellent.  

*Smoking Roy’s is located in Pleasant Hill Missouri. It is located in the old town Library. There is an old train depot in back that has been renovated and now looks like a series of antique stores. Great small town atmosphere. Great, friendly service. The owner was there today and was very nice. My Pork sandwich lacked the smoky flavor I was hoping for. Tasted like Roast Pork cooked in a oven. I had a few other fellow diners sample and the results were the same. I super-sized (for more $$) my bean order. They were good. The side order serving is only 4 ozs. I've ranted about this before. If you are going to serve a side, serve a side! Beans are cheap! The sauce was very good - just the right amount of sweet and spicy. No fries served here. I asked for a small piece of Brisket to sample and it was good. Should have ordered that instead. Rick gave me a rib and it was tasty. Nice rub and needed no sauce. I'd certainly go back again to Smoking Roy’s but I would not recommend the Pork. My overall rating would have been higher had the sandwich been better. 

*Great variety of sauces!  Very friendly owner.     

*Even if you don't like fish you owe it to yourself to try the BBQ’ed Catfish. The seasoning was excellent with no fishy taste at all. The Drive down to Pleasant Hills was pretty nice too.

*Great rib lunch in a very cool historic downtown setting.  The folks are very nice and the food was worth the trip.  The beans were a bit too much like BBQ sauce with beans added, but they were pretty good.  Overall a good find.

*A nice experience!! Pork was not smoky but the rib was tender and meaty. Coleslaw was great. The sauces were good. The raspberry was especially tasty. Service was pretty good, we gathered information we didn't even ask for. I'll go back if I ever make it to P.H.
