Smoked Out BBQ · Santa Clara
17 dish-specific mentions · 71% positive · 3 source types · menu verified September 2026
A tidy half rack of St. Louis ribs diners call reliably well cooked and full of flavour. Get there early - they sell out.
Every score is built from evidence about the specific dish: how often locals recommend it, how strongly, how recently, and whether independent sources agree. A restaurant's overall star rating is never converted into a dish score.
Quality and confidence are reported separately. A dish two people loved can score high, but it is marked early ranking until more evidence backs it up. The whole calculation — every constant, and three dishes worked through line by line — is written out on the methodology page.
