The One Red Flag At A Barbecue Restaurant You Can't Ignore

While there are several red flags to watch out for in a barbecue restaurant, one surefire way to tell a restaurant isn't worth your time is the absence of a smoker.

Even if a smoker isn't visible, the smell of one must be heavily present. A good barbecue restaurant will have the smell of wood burning and meat grilling on the smoker itself.

If a restaurant doesn't smoke its meat on site, the meat might be of lower quality or brought in from somewhere else entirely.
