"''Cabbage'' sounds so boring, but Da Smoke's is anything but that: spicy, rich and full flavored, it is a vegetable that transcends its reputation."
Michael Stern
"I cannot remember ribs that were more tender than these. Likewise, chicken detaches from its bones with ease. Those beans are no slouch, either."
Michael Stern
"Greens come as big leaves, laced with lots of pork from the boil pot. "
Michael Stern
"Desserts, billed on the menu as ''Oice Mae Desserts -- Made Fresh Daily,'' actually are made by chef Norman, although named for his mother. This is cherry cobbler."
Michael Stern
"Da Smoke is a colorful place by the side of the highway guaranteed to set Roadfood radar beeping."
Michael Stern
"Decor at Da Smoke is a hodge podge of country, cowboy, African-American, and native American images as well as symbols of religion and the state of Texas."
Michael Stern
"A well-equipped table, including a roll of paper towels, hand sanitizer, toothpicks and a squeeze bottle of barbecue sauce."
