Reviews Summary
Wicked Weed Smokehouse garners mixed reviews, with many praising the moist smoked turkey and flavorful pulled pork sandwiches. The craft beer selection is also a significant draw. However, some guests find certain dishes disappointing, particularly the ribs and fries, and there are complaints about the consistency of sides and the high prices within the casino.
"Eat here every time we come! Never had a bad experience or have we ever thought the food was bad! Drinks are great as well! Surprised to see such low reviews but you can’t please everyone! Definitely try it for your self!!"

"The jalapeño appetizers was the bomb!!!!
The pulled pork delicious
The brisket was season and delicious but fatty
The turkey was awesome.
We enjoyed all the protein the sides were trash!
The so call Mac-N-Cheese was nasty!
Potato salad was bland!! 🤢
Green beans casserole & baked beans were ok.
The sauce taste like ketchup!"

"The sampler platter was a mixed bag. The shredded pork was okay, and the brisket was the highlight of the meal. However, the ribs were a huge letdown—they were tough, chewy, and the complete opposite of fall-off-the-bone tender. The baked beans were flavorful, but the sweet potato fries came out soggy and disappointing. Overall, the experience was hit or miss. I’d consider coming back, but I’ll definitely avoid the ribs and fries next time."
