Sugar Pine Smokehouse - American restaurant in Madera - 23200 Avenue 17, USA

I ordered a rack of ribs and frys. The ribs tasted of fish. I think someone knew it too because they used an insane amount of salt to cover the taste. Even them there was no hiding the taste. The whole family said the same thing.

We had a Celebration of Life for my dad at the Golf course, which was catered by SPS. The food, the service and the setup was wonderful. Many of my friends and family stated how great the food was. Thank you for an amazing event. I highly recommend SPS for any events that you need catering.

Excellent food taste. Chili beans were a little dry to my liking but they had a good flavor. We also order the calamari appetizer and it was delicious. Perfectly fried. The chicken dinner combined perfectly with the pickled onion with oregano. Meat loaf was delicious. Good portions on the meals, more than enough for one person. Our waitress, Kelli was really attentive. TO BAD IT IS GOING TO CLOSE ON CHRISTMAS EVE. I will be returning very soon one last time…

We loved this place before they re-located. So we decided to visit again. It is not the same restaurant we remember. If I lived close, I would order to go for pulled pork and chicken were good.

Good down home cooking. Their servings were very healthy. Too much to eat in one sitting. Very friendly and courteous service. Enjoyed our visit greatly.

Definitely show up during Happy Hour! Half price list of great appetizers and great drinks! The railroad skin potatoes are delicious. Not a fan of them myself, but I split them with him because hey were really that tasty. I would also recommend the nachos and they are big enough to be a meal by themselves. If you’re in town, stop by! Service was expedient and friendly!

Currently shows 3.9 on reviews, should be 4.5 at least. The ribs were some of the best I have had, perfect and tasty. Pulled pork was good, had some of the "good" fat in it, all easy to chew. If this place were near my hometown, it would be my go to for pork ribs for sure. Plate shown is Caveman (2 choice of meats, 2 sides. Had salad and beans, beans were tasty as well, little spice.

This hidden gem is highly underrated! My husband and I were torn between this establishment and another. We decided on the other it had a higher rating. We went over and ended up turning around and walking right back out. Drove down to this place and we are so happy we did. I had the New York steak and my husband had the caveman dimmer with chicken and Tri-tip. Both absolutely amazing!
