The Smokin' Oak currently holds a D grade and scores lower than 84% of comparable restaurants, placing it in the bottom tier of food service facilities in its category. Temperature control has emerged as a persistent and serious concern, with improper hot holding temperatures cited in June 2023 and again most recently in April 2026, while cold holding violations appeared in February 2024, April 2025, and remain a pattern across the record. Despite no closure orders or mandatory follow-up inspections, the facility has shown no meaningful improvement trajectory over nearly three years and continues to cycle through high-risk violations rather than achieving sustained compliance.
