   Food was outstanding, service was good, a typical Barbecue House with that beat up style theme.

   Cool ambiance. Great service! Our waiter was super friendly, funny, and attentive. Food was just ok. We went for Easter brunch and I didn’t find the breakfast type food to be that great overall but the pulled park was excellent. This was my first time there. I’d definitely go back for lunch or dinner to try their regular menu. I think they would be great for bbq since that’s their specialty. Wouldn’t go back for brunch though.

    This was the first time C.A.Y.A. did a brunch buffet. There was a little glitch here or there but the service and food were both impeccable! I was a little disappointed that coffee was not included in the price ($5 per cup) and they charged extra for the carving station ($9 included prime rib, ham, brisket) and for the omelet station ($8). They limited the prime rib to one time only but you could get as much ham and brisket as you wanted. Though the price tag was high, I would definitely go back.

    We had a reservation. We were on time, and the hostess seated us. No one came to take our drink or appetizer order, or even acknowledge that we were there. Eventually we got up and left. The hostess watched us leave, and did not ask us if everything was okay or why we were leaving. Nobody cared.

    They really should consider either heating the place or if heat is available turn the temperature up in the restaurant. Half of the customers were wearing their coats including my wife and two kids. After waiting 20 minutes to order we are informed that they are out of Salmon, Brisket and Burnt ends. For a BBQ restaurant to be out of these items at 7:00pm is pretty unacceptable. Food was just ok. We will not be returning.

    C.A.Y.A. Smoke House GrillResponded on January 19, 2022

    Sorry to hear this feedback. We have had our issues with supply chain, deliveries, and staffing that may have leant to your dissatisfaction in the limitations of our menu on the evening that you dined with us. Similarly, the HVAC unit in the dining room has been repaired three times in the last month; it is likely you joined us on a day it malfunctioned. It's regrettable to see that no consolation we have to offer would encourage your return. I hope you can see it in your heart to try us again.

    C.A.Y.A. Smoke House GrillResponded on January 16, 2022

    Hello, I would love to hear more about your experience, in particular, which ribs you ordered because we have several styles that are not contemporary, and the meat can be quite expensive. Please email me directly at Alexander@cayagrill.cm, and I will make it right. Thank you for trying us out!

    Our server, Marty, was great and offered excellent recommendations. Food was very good - slightly disappointed with the Mac & Cheese as it didn't quite match the photographs advertising the dish, specifically the appearance of an abundant amount of gooey cheese on top that was missing from both M&C dishes ordered at our table. Collectively our table thought the burnt ends and the brisket were excellent, as were the Brussel sprouts, pickled vegetables and the smoky coleslaw.

    I am from Jersey and I was in town for a youth hockey tournament. I didn’t want to eat at any more chain restaurants and I was thrilled to find this family owned Barbecue restaurant. So, 8 of us drove 30 min to eat here. Our waiter was hysterical!!!!!!! Made our experience even better. I think he escaped from a comedy club. Try the El Stugotz cocktail it is spectacular. We had the burnt ends, candied bacon, and the Mac and cheese for apps. The waiter recommended their signature pork belly pork chop with chimichurri and it was delicious. The decor is very rustic and friendly. Give it a try! It’s worth the drive.

    The food was excellent, but I was disappointed with the food presentation. It was not presented like the pictures on their website. I was expecting a more gourmet experience rib shack. I know how that sounds, but I thought that was going to make this place different from some of the other places I've been. Food being served on picnic wax paper was just more of the same.

    Hello Dion, thanks for your fair review of CAYA Smokehouse. I understand your distinction between web photos and the items you received. I have inferred from your mention of the checkered paper that you ordered the Smokehouse Dinner. This item is not pictured on our site, and features an exceptional variance in presentation from our smoked meats and hot sides. I would suggest more of the main course entrees to enjoy the atmosphere predicated by our pictures. We look forward to your next visit!
