We came out the day before Mother’s Day 2025. Thankfully, the graduation crowd was gone and we were seated within five minutes. Our server was lovely and helped us decide what to get as an appetizer and entree! I got the flight and let me say it was DELICIOUS!! My favorite was Girls Trip but each of them were on point! I loved the homemade hummus and the ‘strips’ that come with it. All of the food was good and the creative halfsmokes on the menu should leave you finding one to devour!! If you plan to come at the height of the brunch rush, try getting a resy or pack your patience. Paid parking is convenient next door.

Great vibes, prime location, and solid bottomless drinks make HalfSmoke a good pick for a fun brunch outing. The food is just okay—not bad, but not the star. Come for the atmosphere and drinks, not a culinary masterpiece.
