Smoke Rack BBQ - Lansdale, PA

Has anyone eaten at this restaurant or had take out? It has been open for about 2 years, but I have just recently found out about it. I was wondering how it stacks up to Uncle Gregs and Smoke Daddy's.

    I know this is an awfully old post so maybe you've already been and decided, but thought I'd throw in my two cents since there's not a lot online to find about this place.

    Don't know about "stacking up" because it's very different. Big menu. To be honest I don't know if they focus as obsessively on the meat and the technical aspects of a single BBQ style so much as making food that they love and want to share. Creative specials, good choices from apps right through to desserts. Sit-down option, BYOB and really friendly, passionate owner and staff. We've liked everything we've had.

        Sampler platter (which has pulled pork, ribs, and chicken) is good; as far as sides go I like the greens and cornbread the best. They had a "Rachel" on the specials board, either brisket or pulled pork with cole slaw and thousand island, on a grilled bun - that was VERY good, pretty big and admittedly messy.

        Pumpkin bread pudding, while not very pumpkiny, was SO GOOD.

        Also on the specials board was a smoked turkey sandwich with stuffing and some kind of cranberry sauce. There was too much to choose from but I am hoping to go back really soon to give that a try.

      This place only opened up in Lansdale a couple of months ago, not 2 years. I tried the beef brisket and mac & cheese. The brisket was decent, pink smoke ring was visible, good aroma, okay flavor. Mac & cheese was yummy, but miniscule portion size. For $2.50, you got what seemed like a 1/4 cup serving. I prefer Uncle Gregs, but would return here in a pinch.
