My new favorite place to eat!! Not just in New Mexico, but of any place I’ve been to. I’m not a food or BBQ connoisseur, but I know sensationally good food when I have it, and Smokey Sensations has it. The hook is set and I’ll be looking forward to eating there every time I make it back to Las Cruces.

We arrived at around 6pm on a Saturday night. Not very busy, but other people with pickup orders were helped first. Finally got to order but most items were alreay out? Ordered two baked potatoes. One was brought out the other never came out. Waitress tried to help and asked the cooks, but they just yelled. Ended up getting smothered fries eventually 40 minutes later. Sodas are 4 bucks. Total bill for three people was over $60 and not worth it. Good Luck.
RUDY'S WHO?! Best brisket we ever had!!! We got the brisket melt with fries, the jerk chicken sandwich with garlic parmesan fries, and banana pudding. ALL of it was amazing. No need to order the meat "moist", its flavorful and juicy, not dry at all. The jerk chicken had just enough spice, not too spicy. I love the touch of charring the logo into the bun, and the fresh garlic in the fries, and the fresh bananas in the pudding, all of the little details made such a great meal. The service was great, food came out fast, and it's veteran owned and they support veterans with military discount. Highly recommend, definitely will be returning to eat here!

This place is a hidden gem. My girlfriend and I were in town for a wedding and in need of some good food. We did not expect to have the best bbq of our lives. I had the jerk chicken and andouille sausage. Both were incredibly flavorful. No need for extra sauce or anything like that. This stuff just falls off the bone. My girlfriend had the pulled pork sandwich. She rarely eats entire meals but she cleaned this one up. Needless to say, we will definitely be going back. Anyone driving through Las Cruces would be remiss if they did not stop here. 10/10!
We were in town for a family event and had to make a visit as a follow up to the Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown. Smokey S was our favorite of all the contenders for the event. The burger did not let us down and actually exceeded our expectations. The line was out the door when we arrived, but that didn’t deter us. I’m glad we jumped in, the line moved quickly and the service was on spot, both the counter staff and the cooks were on top of business. The dine-in area is small, and they do have some outdoor seating. We will be stopping again when we come back to Las Cruces.
