Smokin’ Southern Cantina has been one of our favorites here in town since it opened. We have enjoyed many different dishes from bowls to wraps to pizza which we had last night. Mine was special ordered ingredients from a list of options and it was wonderful as was my wife’s peperoni. I love this place especially for new flavors and one of a kind menu items. We usually sit outside. Always good service and reasonably priced for made to order items.

While visiting my in-laws, they took my wife and I here for dinner. I wasn’t that hungry to begin with, but they were, so I just went along. I’m glad I did.

One of our favorite places to go! They have homemade pork skins that are amazing paired with a yummy queso! We enjoy the macho nachos, which are big enough for 2 people to eat off of. My daughter loves to get the “hoctopus” – hotdog cut to look like an octopus.

Drinks were delicious and the food was even better. They were a little under staffed. But our waitress was super nice, and surprisingly our food came out really quick!

I have been wanting to try this place for months and finally got to last night. Definitely one of my new favs restaurants. The flavor palettes are amazing!!! I Definitely wouldn’t say this is a Mexican restaurant. It’s more tropical islander restaurant. Make sure you put this place on your list! You won’t be disappointed. They also do offer military discount for my followers that always ask this! Absolutely no complaints on food, aesthetic, building or staff!

The pork belly sandwich was so yummy! Very soft and not dry at all. Alligator meat was well seasoned and the trio nachos was amazing.

Visiting and tried here, my Jamaican jerk chicken was huge and yummy, and I loved the fried plantains, they were exactly as I hoped they would be cooked/taste. Everyone loved our other dishes (alligator tators, shrimp poboy, queso dip). Service was great from Kyo. Thanks! Would eat here again!

Everything was pretty good! I ordered the bonfire brisket tacos with street corn and rice the only thing is I would not get the side of rice again it didn’t have any flavor and had a lot of hard pieces in it. The piña colada was good! Definitely order the briskets fries delicious and plenty to share!

Something in the food didn’t agree with me or my husband. I got the pizza he got the BBQ. My pizza came out on a wedge like it came from an air fryer. Taste was decent but not at that price point. Drinks were mediocre at best. Service was ok, it was a Friday night. Drinks came faster than food service.
