Medium Risk NYC Grade: Pending

With just two inspections in the record, there isn't enough history to establish a clear pattern. The most recent visit was on Oct 23, 2025. Diners should read medium risk as a signal that some issues exist but aren't extreme.

Compared to the prior visit, inspectors found more to write up: six violations versus three before.

The pattern that stands out is anti-siphonage or back-flow prevention device not provided, which has been cited two times.

By comparison, the average Queens facility scores 75, putting The Smoke House on the weaker side. Taken together, the history looks like that of a busy facility working through the usual inspection cycle.
