Eh. We really wanted to like this place. It seems to be family-owned and that's always a nice thing, especially in a bbq place. The mall location (where the food court is gross) makes it an appealing option. Sadly, the food was so-so: dry, tasteless brisket, sad-looking salad, and the sauce... well, it's not even on the table. You have to ask for it and then they just give you a tiny plastic container. One of our tablemates seems to like his wrap sandwich, but that's the best we can say. Minor thing: The tables are tiny, so it was a tight, uncomfortable fit for four. My husband kept hitting his knees, too. I'm not sure how long this has been there so maybe it needs time to get its legs. Again, I'd want to like it better. But until then, Famous Dave's is a better bet.

Awesome beef brisket and the sauce is a perfect match. The service is fast and very friendly.

While I agree that there could be a little more smoke flavor in the ribs, this place is the sh*t. Biggest, most tender ribs I've ever had, and I've stayed a weekend or more in Memphis every year for most of my life. Prices are extremely low compared to other joints around Peoria. Go check it out! If you want a bunch of fancy sides and stuff this place is not for you. If you want some super bomb ribs, this place is definitely top of the list. My gf had the brisket and said it was amazing as well. We will be back often!

Good, flavorful BBQ backed with GREAT service makes this 5 stars. As other reviews share, Smo-king is family owned that deliver service with care for the customers.

I really like this place. I always order the rib tip combo. It 's always tender, full of flavor, and the price is extremely affordable. The staff are super friendly and very efficient. I live in Georgia but Peoria is my home and when I'm home this is where I go for BBQ.

Inexpensive but not great BBQ. I really wanted to like this place and I'm from Chicago so I've gotten used to disappointments in Peoria. In this particular case I think you can do better in Peoria by going to the BBQ chain restaurant Hickory River. The food was bland and, as another reviewer pointed out, overly gristly. I had the ribs and the brisket withe cole slaw and baked beans. I guess if you had to eat in the mall it isn't a bad choice. Jon

This is my second-favorite BBQ place in Peoria, and the one I go to most often now that Grandpa John's moved further away. The staff are always friendly and the food is excellent. I always get a platter with a few ribs and two sides, usually fries and cole slaw. I still like Grandpa John's sauce better, but this place easily blows away anything in Northwoods Mall's food court.

I had fall-off-the bone ribs and perfectly cooked pulled pork both with a nicely textured BBQ sauce. Mike, the owner, is from Clarksdale, MS and knows what he is doing! Best combo of pulled pork & ribs I have eaten in Peoria!

The sauce here is great!!! A nice family owned restaurant with really good food. Much better than one would expect from a mall eatery. The sauce is soooo good that I have family members ship it out to California.

Every time we get to this area, we go here for lunch or just get something to take back to the motel. The food is excellent and the prices are right. Would recommend this to anyone wanting good bar-b-q.

Average BBQ. I got a rib tips and chicken strips dinner. The chicken was really good. Nice and crispy. the rib tips were full of gristle and a pain to eat (what's the point of getting just the tips if you can't just pop 'em in your mouth?). The beans weren't anything good, but the fries were alright. Could be way better.

Happened across this cute little place thanks to Yelp reviews, and it didn't disappoint. Definitely choose the rib bones and the catfish. Delish. And the servers were incredibly friendly and helpful.

Stopped by This place on a cross country trip to help my son and his wife move to attend law school. Loved this place. I had a pulled chicken dinner and it was awesome. There were five of us and the meals ranged from brisket to pork and all reported a fabulous meal. The staff were friendly and demonstrate a sense of humor and a genuine concern that our experience was the best it could be. Loved this place and wish we had one where I reside. If in Peoria, try it.

Excellent pulled pork and brisket, A much-needed barbecue restaurant for those of us who don't want to travel to Missouri. Location is inside Northwoods Mall and ceratinly worth the trip.

Smo-King-Pit is hands down the best BBQ. I have had bbq in Memphis, Texas, North Carolina and Florida and in my opinion none compare to Smo-King-Pit. Everything I have had there has always been great. My favorite is the ribs, coleslaw & fries. Mike and his family are awesome, it's like going to a friends house for dinner.
(5)Leon J.
This place is amazing! The ribs are really good and the catfish is really good! I have eaten BBQ from several different spots across the US and this is definitely one of my favorites. This is a family owned buissiness and they truly make you feel like family! The sauce is delicious also!
(5)Chris C.
I always enjoy the BBQ at Smo-King Pit. Their pulled chicken is especially good as well as their pulled pork. The other things I love is that it is family owned and the service is fantastic. A must-try if you want BBQ in Peoria.
