2 Fifty BBQ in Riverdale should take notice. Even before this closure, there's a huge opportunity for BBQ in the downtown area. Done well, like 2Fifty, it would be among the busiest food places in town overnight. It's not easy to do and takes time and a lot of skill. Smoke BBQ, though open for a long time, couldn't be confused with excellent BBQ which, at the end of the day, is a craft. Learn the craft and great reward is almost assured.
Maybe developers can convert the space to a luxury apartment????!!!!!????
Smoke was no joke ! Great folks ran that place, sad to see them go.
It stayed open 14 years too long
