1911 Smokehouse BBQ - Barbecue restaurant in Trenton - 11 W Front St, USA

I met one of my friends at this bar and grill. It was black-owned, so I wanted to try it. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted, and we sat at the bar. Shawnn was our bartender, and she was very nice. I started with the long island iced tea, and I wasn't a fan of the first one. I sent it back and got another one which I liked. My friend got a cocktail, which she said was very sweet. For our meals, I got the quarter chicken with mac and cheese and string beans. My friend got the pulled pork with beans and macaroni and cheese. I liked the chicken with the sauces they gave but was not a fan of the mac and cheese and the string beans. My friend said the same for her meal. The check was affordable. All in all, I had just an ok experience.

Parking: We went around 8:30pm on a Saturday. Parking is in front of Starbucks and the walk is less than a minute. Experience: First off this place is a hidden gem! We felt comfortable from the moment we walked in. The food selection is great. The place is kept up sp nice and clean. And the service was amazing. This was our first time here and definitely not our last. Definitely a date night spot. The music is also a plus it’s a mix of old school and new school r&b. I give them a 10/10 keep up the great work.

I have been coming to this establishment for a few years now on and off. My coworker put me on this place and still come here after I’ve moved on from that job. I still work close and always crave their wings and Mac and cheese. I always get the honey bbq wings as their other flavors are great as well. The wings are always done inside and out and never had a problem. The inside is a bit tight and only sat to eat here once as it can get noisy but sitting outside on their patio is pleasant. I highly recommend for wings and I am sure other selections are good as well.

I expected better. The collard greens were “meh” and the candied yams were average. The smoked salmon was the best part of my meal and it wasn’t anything to get excited over. Updating as I have this place a second shot — had the nachos and cheesesteak egg rolls — both were bland (consistent with my initial review. The cheesesteak egg rolls came with a sauce that helped.

Y’all! This food was so good! We stumbled on this spot while doing a historical tour on a Saturday afternoon. Good music, waiter was super nice, strong drinks and good food portions! I like my ribs falling off the bone but the taste made up for it and they were pretty tender. Also seems to have great vegan options.

My wife and I were searching everywhere for BBQ & came across this place. It was absolutely phenomenal!! The staff was so nice & helpful, super nice with my children, & loved to chat with us. We tried so much on the menu and was not disappointed with a single thing. The pork roll was beyond my expectations, the pulled pork & wings were so good & the rib tips were excellent! Only one thing was the tips were a tad fatty (which isn’t a big deal) but did not ruin my experience at all. The baked beans were super delicious! I highly recommend this place to everyone! Parking is a little iffy but don’t be afraid to get your steps in if you need to walk haha

The lady who took my order was very rude. And when I arrived nobody could locate my order. They asked me my name, and after about 10 minutes of standing in a tiny area they asked me what my order was which was 3 items that were already finished. Also wanted to add there is absolutely no parking that is easy to find if you’re not from the area. And since I was in front of a fire hydrant, waiting for an order that was placed 35-40 minutes in advance is very disappointing. The food was very disappointing, if you like your yams like mashed potatoes go here. They aren’t too bad tho. the greens were definitely missing flavor I had to add lot of hot sauce maybe bc I’m used to meat in mine but I’ve had meatless greens that were better. I paid $17 and I wish I would’ve taken my money somewhere els since that area is packed with good restaurants with nice people. I give 3 stars bc the wings were good I got the honey saricha sauce. Was lacking stickiness the sauce didn’t hold onto the wings very well. I like the general tso sauce but they never add enough. So I wanted to try something new. All in all I would rather take my money somewhere els since these people don’t seem to respect you nor your money.

The food was amazing. Very well done and everything was delicious. The only thing that really threw me off was the overwhelming smell of Marijuana, it was a thick scent as soon as you walk in. So if your young and cool with that vibe then this is the place for you. But if your with your mom or someone like that you might want to find somewhere a little more decent.
