Smoke and Fire Social Eatery - Pomona, California

I checked the reviews and decided to give this place a shot. Being from Texas, we know a thing or 2 about bbq. This place was dead inside. I have never ever had French onions on my street corn. It was bland very, very bland. The Mac and cheese has some flavor but was very dry. My assumption was it was made hours ago. The brisket grill cheese, as you can see in the photo, was probably the saddest attempt at a brisket grill cheese.

Brisket was amazing, melts in your mouth, no bbq needed. The Nashville chicken i got medium heat and it was enough, the corn bread was so perfect and the quesadilla was paired up great with the sauce. The macaroni cheese balls were so hot but couldn't stop eating them. Gotta come back and try the rest of the menu.
🔥 emoji beer was good as well.

. It wasn't crowded when we arrived plenty of parking. When you walk in, you order and pay for your meal at the counter. There are TV monitors displaying the menu, but it's always a good idea to view the menu online before ordering. There are no waiters or waitresses to seat you. Instead, they give you a table number (mine was 13) and you're pretty much on your own once they bring the food to your table. There are some TVs in the back room area. I haven't been there at night, but they advertise beer on tap. And NO!you can't get the lemonade without the charcoal in it 🤣
The meal was decent. We are tough critics because we go to a lot of barbecue places, but the portions were good size. The total bill for two people was over $100, but that's just the way prices are these days.

I have been passing by this place for a while and decided to stop in. OMG! BEST BRISKET EVER! I got the tacos and the 1/2 lb brisket. It was amazing!!! You have to try this place! The Villians Never Say Never Forever Hefenweizen is damn good! Now, I gotta go visit that brewery in Anaheim 😄 I very very highly recommend this place! Best part is THE MEAT IS NOT FATTY!! 💙💙💙 I can't stand fatty meat, so this place is perfect!

Looked fun, so we decided to give it a shot. Brisket quesadilla and brisket birria tacos were both outstanding. Made it just in time for the bogo happy hour which was cool.
Service was very friendly and helpful, but once it picked up it was a bit difficult to get help with a couple of issues (refills etc) but overall we enjoyed ourselves and the food. We'll definitely be coming back.

We went to this location for the first time for the first time and they were very accommodating. I will speak from my own personal experience.

The atmosphere is great. There is always music playing and there are live sports playing on TVs.

As for service, it is great! Everyone is very kind, nice and patient!

Regarding food, the food was very tasty! The smashed burgers were juicy and tasted fresh; the burgers were genuinely delicious! The fries were also seasoned well and tasted great! Love their food.

I must say, stay away from the lemonade. It is watered down and tastes like it is 99% water, 0.9% sugar and 0.1% actual lemonade. It tastes like it is nothing. Stay away from it.

But overall, this is a great restaurant that offers a wide variety of barbecued, delicious foods that everyone should enjoy. Give them a shot!!

Bonus: all meat are 100% halal!

Great service! Nice and friendly staff. Clean and cozy atmosphere. Brisket grilled cheese was delicious, but a little over priced for the size. The mac n cheese inside the Mac n cheese balls was a little too salty. They were also a little over cooked. Almost broke the knife trying to cut into it. I totally understand we all have off days every now and then! I still want to return and give it one more try! Everything on the menu sounds delicious!

Killer spot to hang out. Great food. I tried a little bit of everything. Nashville hot chicken en Fuego was spicy AF. I loved it. Everything was awesome.
