Loved The Burner - burnt-ends, caramelized onions, and jalapenos. The burnt-ends were fantastic, and you can get them as part of multiple menu items (in case you don't want the jalapenos ). My wife said the smoked chicken was great as well. Normally I like to try multiple items from the menu, but next time I'm back, I'll be ordering The Burner again. Definitely recommend.

Service was awesome. Restaurant was very clean and the food was fantastic. My husband had the mad dog sandwich and it was huge. He said it was really good the meat was seasoned perfect and he said it was very tender. I had the big cheeseburger and added bacon and BBQ sauce. It was delicious. We shared onion rings and a hash brown corn casserole. It was out of this world!!

Super casual, but the food is beyond amazing. The sweet potato casserole was to die for, and the ribs fell right off the bone. Service was fast and friendly, and our waitress anticipated our needs. Will definitely be stopping by again despite being from out of state!

Another fabulous visit today, 01/14/2023. The pulled pork as well as the Destroyer sandwich was juicy and delicious, and the green beans were on point. As always, I totally recommend! Came into 7 Miles Smokehouse this evening March 8, 2019 at about 17:00 (5:00pm). We were greeted as soon as we walked into the door. Our server Emma was amazing, such a sweetheart! She was quick, knows her job very well, and even catered to my son (way more than I would've). The food was spot on, hot and delicious, and the prices are more than fair. This was definitely one of my best "sit-down" experiences in the almost 3 years I've lived here. Wish I would've tried this a couple years ago! I am quite the critic though and would like to see a bit more spacious booths. Overall, I highly recommend 7 Miles Smokehouse.

The food at this restaurant is excellent, especially the barbecue—it’s full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. The restaurant is also very clean and well-kept, adding to the overall great experience. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys good food and great service!

We ate there Saturday and let me say this, besides great people that work there the food was phenomenal. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious, homemade mac n cheese and a sweet potato casserole that can't be beat. Will definitely be returning.

My only disappointment when leaving this fine dining establishment is that I was too full to enjoy eating any more of their fantastic food. DISCLAIMER ALERT: After eating here you will no longer be able to enjoy food from elsewhere. It will pale in comparison to the food served here. I thoroughly enjoyed the signature Mad Dog sandwich advertised on their sign, and recommend by the attendants/waitress. I followed it with some peach cobbler and ice cream. I left full, and completely satisfied. I did trim the fat off the brisket, because that's how I prefer it, and it came off very easily.
