Smokin' Al's, Massapequa Park NY

I've always had great food here. Sauces are tasty food is as delicious and large in portions.

I’ve eaten at BBQ restaurants all over the east coast and I’ve must admit this place was terrible, the giant beef ribs were like chewing on rubber. I got the ribs, ribs, ribs on the menu and it was such a disappointment. Could not eat any of the beef ribs they went in garbage. The baby back ribs and St Louis ribs were tough. When my server asked how everything was and I told her how I felt she looked at me and walked away, not even an acknowledgment. Not an I’m sorry or can I get you something else. This place came highly recommended but obviously some people do not know true authentic BBQ. What a waste of 280dollars. Should have gone to All American and had a burger.

They lost my order and then gave me the wrong order. Thankfully the server behind the bar expedited my order so I won't be waiting there for an hour. I wish that if possible that the restaurant didn't send me an order confirmation when they didn't get my order.

The best barbecue around.
Update: When my son and I ate there again, my son's baby back ribs were practically all fat. (That was unusual; we've never had that issue before. He didn't say anything until we were done (he should have), and when I told the waitress, she said there was nothing she could do. I thought she could have at least offered a free dessert, if nothing else. We were very good customers and ate there frequently. I posted a review on Yelp, and I received some nasty emails from the owner, which totally put me off to the place. We never went back.

The bbq shrimp was perfect. Smoked sausage and chicken were done just right as were the ribs. The beef brisket was a bit overdone though. Service was fantastic.

Enjoyed a wonderfully delicious anniversary lunch with my husband on 10/14. We loved the ribs, chicken and variety of sauces. The receiving and wait staff were wonderfully attentive and even helped us celebrate with Cake Shots! Danielle was a great server and we hope to have her on our next visit.

Food was good but not great, it’s was great in the past but just not as tasty now a days
Again, it’s not bad, just not amazing, which a fully BBQ place should be… few items were tasteless or lacking taste

Great casual dining serving delicious BBQ ribs, with choice of wet or dry style and a 3 sauces (Rattlesnake (spicy), sweet & regular). Served with choice of 2 sides. Opt for Baby back, St. Louis or Beef Ribs or a combo of 2 or 3. Large portions and plenty for leftovers. Go hungry!

Huge portions and incredible food. Only drawback for me was tables were on top of each other. It was a little off putting especially since the place wasn't packed and we still had to sit almost back to back with another group despite the empty tables around us

Threw up after woulds. It's a matter of time before (
Dang BBQ) is Seaford burys these cockroaches.really sub par and nasty mother gets work there as well.

We ordered a bunch of stuff for take out. Wish I could remember it all but a lot of different ribs (dinosaur —- YES), tid bits, mashed potatoes, fries, crispy onions (with tid bits), Cole slaw, Mac and cheese, corn bread… and we loved it all. My brother in law went a bit overboard with ordering all this for four people but it was amazing and we ate left overs for a few days and it was still delicious. The ribs were juicy and full of flavor. Would definitely order from here again… hoping to actually go there next time to dine in.

Absolute dried trash. Blown away by the reviews saying anything different. I can promise you it's people who have never traveled outside of long island to claim it's the best here. It's dry, nothing falling off the bone.the sauces are terrible. I am in disbelief with this place being in business still and the delusional patrons feeding money to this false bbq joint.

I still miss the Bayshore location, but Al's is making some good food here too. Service is OK

This issue needs to be addressed with better customer service or diversity training. The restaurant was not busy and the bar was empty other than another couple that was served already and just watching the football game.

Myself and my wife just left smokin als Massapequa NY without being served. We were the only African American ppl in the whole restaurant including the staff we saw, we were greeted by a unfriendly hostess and sat at the bar to order takeout once seated at the bar and looked at the menu (3) ppl behind the bar including the bartender ignored us for over 20 minutes, my wife was so upset she walked out, I stayed an additional (5) minutes before the bartender asked one of the young ladies to help us and she still hesitated before (both) of the servers came to ask me if we were ready to order?
Please check your restaurants security cameras to verify my claims. 9/26/21 around 7: 40 pm-8: 15pm

Great Bbq food, & drinks. Highly recommend St. Louis ribs, & pulled pork dinner. Ribs are fall off the bone good.

Smokin' Al's is an decent enough spot. Wings are massive and tasty, although there's no real "buffalo" option, just a modified "spicy" BBQ sauce. Salads were a bit more disappointing, especially at the price they're charging
Mask usage isn't exactly consistent among their staff, either.

Been coming here for years. Unfortunately, last three visits for me were disappointing.

Had the combo plate with chicken and St. Louis Ribs. Chicken was very good. Side dishes (corn bread, mac and cheese, corn) also very good. The ribs TASTED delicious, but for the third time in a row, you had to "tug" the meat away from the bone. At places, it was chewy and tough. This is an indication that the ribs are not being smoked enough.

Unfortunately, I'm done going out of my way to go to Smokin Al's until they leave the ribs in the smoker longer. There are better bbq restaurants.
