Definitely worth a stop! Excellent brisket and service (Zack). Food was out quick, beer and cocktails were also very good. Best food we had in the Marquette area. read more

miniscule portions of food for the price, food was brought out cold with uncarbonated sodas on an afternoon where there was only one other family in the restaurant. horrendous music consistently being played too loud. avoid this place like the plague read more

My family and I are visiting Marquette, Michigan and were looking for ribs. We found Lake Superior Smokehouse and decided to try it. We walked in and the restaurant staff cheerfully greeted us. My daughter and grandson said we'd like to order to go. The inside was rustic and nicely decorated. There is outside seating in the back that looked pleasant with beautiful plants. The bar area was welcoming and the dining room area was beautiful and clean. The bathroom was clean and quaint. After my daughter explained to the young man behind the counter what we're looking for, he went into the kitchen and came out with ribs samples... wow, we didn't expect that. He said that his father owned the restaurant and their ribs won in a competition for best ribs in Michigan some years ago. Needless to say it was absolutely delicious! The sauces were so delicious and the ribs smoky and tender. We got the ribs, pulled pork and sausage, with Smoky Mac and Cheese, and vegetables. I would certainly love to eat here the next time we're here. read more

Diamond in the rough- don't judge the exterior- it's grandmas kitchen table and it works. the service was great and the food was outstanding. Most of us got the brisket and loved it- everything you want in something that took 18 hours to make. Do not shy away from the sauces- I mixed all three and loved the effect. One of us had the Ruben and could not say enough good things- the tang of the sauerkraut was perfect. We tried a few beers and they were all good- but we are not experts. All in all may become a must do I. Our UP travels read more

Excellent food with a great friendly atmosphere! Service was friendly and quick. Great beer selection and full bar. Go here!!!

Pulled pork is phenomenal, sample platter is phenomenal. Lots of seating inside and it's decorated as expected. Staff is always friendly.

I travel to Texas for work frequently...this BBQ is just as good, if not better, than the BBQ I've had in Austin, Dallas, San Antonio or Houston...big Texas BBQ in Marquette read more

Abrielle is the best beer hero ever; word! The Smokin'Hubster and I spent the day driving and worked up quite a hunger watching two-lane traffic. The restaurant was about half full and it seemed like nearly everyone knew everyone else. Pretty soon, we were welcomed like regulars and gabbed with the folks at the bar, too! *waves Hello! to Dawn!* We started with two of their own brews, Hoppy Days and Golden Blonde Ale. Perfectly balanced for each of our palates and definitely cleared the road dust! The ability to pay by the ounce (see my photo) had us intrigued. We'll definitely need to come back with beer-loving friends! In part because we wanted to try different things and in part because we couldn't decide... Behold, you may build a platter of three meats and three sides; really! $43.00 and perfect "[F]or Two to Split, or One For a Challenge." We were hungry and it was still a challenge for two! My husband slid his fork under a slice of brisket and it just. fell. apart! (My mouth just watered remembering that!) Never have I ever had brisket that tender! We also selected Pulled Pork and Andouille Sausage. We were in Carnivore Heaven! The three sauces offered all coordinated well with each meat but that horseradish had my name all over it! Sides? Home Made Coleslaw (so crisp and not heavy at all!), Smoked Baked Beans (rich and dare I say good for you? Maybe?) and life-changing Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese. OK, I added the 'life changing' part but really. If you order nothing else, get that mac and cheese. Take it home, revel in the depth of flavor, the creaminess and the fact that it makes you happy from tongue to tail. You have to get here and try this for yourself. Don't forget the Marquette Brew Pass (https://www.travelmarquette.com/things-to-do/tours-and-experiences/marquette-brew-pass/), a great excuse to try ALL the awesome local beers that Marquette County has to offer! read more

Cool little "Yelp" find near the shores of Lake Superior. While staying in Marquette, MI for work, I typed "BBQ" in the search bar and came across this gem hidden located off the highway about 5 miles from my hotel in a small berg called Harvey. This bar/restaurant/smokehouse is located in what looks like a residential area, and has the friendly atmosphere of a small town pub. I ordered the full rack of ribs and a side of slaw. The ribs where terrific and was way more than enough for any one person. They were very meaty and pretty much fell right off the bone. I probably wouldn't order the slaw again because I'd opt for one of the many other available sides. The meal also came with a hunk of cornbread. It was a snowy weeknight, so it wasn't very busy. I'm not sure how quickly the food comes out on a busy night, but tonight it was really fast. The bartender was fun and so where the other guests who we also sitting at the bar with me. A woman near me had ordered a Rueben. And I have to admit that even though I was more than full from my delicious ribs, I was really envious on how good her sandwich looked! Now I know what I'm having next time! read more

Excellent service! Had the blackened whitefish and it was just enough for dinner! Cute place. Will be back.

Service was great! So friendly! We did a sampler of three meats: pulled pork, ribs, and sausage. The bacon wrapped jalapeño.was delicious. The red sauce and the mustard sauce mixed was my favorite. read more

We stopped here after hiking for a late lunch. Cute back patio and the wait staff was friendly. We ordered the two meat combo to share and started with the corn cheese curds. They were subpar IMO, more like frozen then fried cheese nuggets with corn inside than curds. The platter we got brisket and pulled pork. For sides, we got the Gouda Mac and cheese and the special veggie: bacon green beans. The beans were delicious, the Mac was solid 8/10. The brisket edges were super tasty but the center was a bit dry. The pork was alright but nothing special. The meat sauces were delicious though! Overall decent choice and good drink menu. read more

Excellent service. Excellent food! The chef was handing out free samples of brisket while we waited for our food. 2 blocks off the beaten path (intersection of M-28/NUS4). Close to Casino and NMU golf courses. read more

Tucked away in a residential area, but this place is a must-try if you like meat and beer! Good service, but it can get a little slow when crowded, so be prepared. We always come here at least once during our yearly visit to Marquette. Love it! read more

Food was amazing! The best Reuben I have ever eaten!! The Burger was also amazing and excellent service. The drinks were fabulous!! Highly recommend of you are in the Marquette. This location was recommended by a local. You will not be disappointed read more

Delicious! We had pulled pork sandwiches on pretzel buns. They did not skimp on meat. The cheese curds & sausage were a good match as an appetizer. Blueberry wheat beer was very flavorful. It's a busy place, but service was good and our waitress was super friendly and helpful with all questions. read more

I love good brisket. I wish they made good brisket, horrible! Look closely at these fatty grey hunks of meat. I did tell the bartender supervisor (I say that because the bartender didn't care). So the supervisor brought me two new pieces with less fat. They were greyer and tasted like old beef jerky. Ribs were ok a little tough ok flavor. Beans, mac and cheese and cornbread were just plain. The only things I finished were the ribs and the old fashioned drink. The drink was bad I think the bartender top it off with water. Never going back. read more

Relative to BBQ places I've tried across the country, this place rates a 3.5. However, this is the only BBQ in the Marquette area. The smoked meats and sauce are good (not to die for) but the portion relative price makes this place a bit pricey. I think for the price, the portions should be a bit bigger. The atmosphere is country restaurantish. read more

A friend and I trying out many restaurants in the Marquette area. Smokehouse is among the best! Ordered ribs and two sides; rib portion was just right, salad super fresh and crispy, and green beans with sesame seeds cooked to perfection. Our server was friendly and attentive. Definitely will take the family next time! read more

The food is alright.... when they have it. My biggest gripe about this place is they run out of everything very early on their busiest nights. The past two visits I've had there, they've been out of all or almost all of their smoked meats... and they don't tell you until after you've been waiting over a half hour. I went last night with my husband and MIL. It was my husbands birthday. We got seated around 6:30 --three and a half hours until close. They were out of all their smoked meats except sausage and prime rib (Saturday special.) If they would've told us at the door, we would've just left, but we had already ordered a few sodas so we stayed. MIL and I had burgers --which must not be made to order, because they didn't ask how we'd like them cooked. My husband got prime rib, which thankfully he really likes, but it was annoying to go somewhere with such a limited menu on his birthday. How are you a BBQ place with no brisket, ribs, pulled pork and chicken halfway through your dinner rush? I could understand if it happened once, but it happens often. The time before when we went in, I waited over an hour for a salad, for them to come out and tell me they were out of the dressing for my salad. We're local and my husband never wants to go back. He thinks it's overpriced for what you get, and is also sick of them running out with several hours until closing. When the meat IS available, it's good. Not the best I've had; we eat barbecue just about every place we travel to. But when I go in at a normal dinner time of 6:30, I expect for the half the menu to not be wiped out. I've never experienced that at another BBQ place. read more

Excellent food and service all around! Hands down the best Ruebin I have ever had. Husband had the brisket sliders and loved them! Keep up the good work! read more

We loved the meats we tried! The potato salad was a little soupy, never had anything like that before. Coleslaw was good. Smoked chicken and brisket were absolutely perfect! Service was timely. read more

This place is amazing! The food was delicious! I got a mac and cheese, a mini burger, and some fries. Their mac and cheese is so creamy and rich, their burgers are cooked perfectly and was so juicy, and their fries were very good! We also got ribs and they were amazing! So juicy, well-seasoned, and tender, i could just pull it apart with my fork! The customer service was great too. Our waitress was so sweet! Would recommend. read more

Just short of five stars. The location was a little off the beaten path which adds to the local roadhouse vibe and worth seeking out. There was live music which was a little bit too loud and socializing was a little hard while they were playing. The table service was a little slow and it seemed that the wait staff was a stretched thin. Our second round was basically left on the service bar for 10 mins. Food platter was missing the cornbread and it took a bit to get some starch with our wonderful smoked brisket and ribs. Pulled pork was reportedly a little fatty. The highlight was ordering our favorite beers to be canned on demand to go. read more

We came here based on Yelp reviews and thank you so much! It's clean, and while there, there was hardly an empty table. A man was singing on stage with his guitar- very mellow. The star is barbecue but the food and beverage menus are eclectic and between the three of us, we tried many items and all were on point. I had two appetizers- Mac and cheese with brisket and crispy corn curds, which was described and crispy fried nuggets of corn and cheese. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender and a little too seasoned to me but delicious with the smoked Gouda Mac and cheese. The corn nuggets were all that and a bag of chips! Warm on the inside, crisp on the outside- you could taste the sweet corn and cheese individually. I tried bbq sauce as well as the hot honey that came with it but ultimately ate them without sauce as they were delicate and flavorful. Husband had the nachos (delish) and the key lime pie which he said rates an 8 out of a 10. My sister had a pulled pork sandwich, fries and slaw and all were delicious and very good. One of us had a chocolay night ale and I had a glass of Eos Cabernet. They were outstanding. read more

As soon as you open the door you realize that you are in an authentic smokehouse. The menu includes the typical briscuit and ribs although the daily special was a pulled pork with jalapeños and onions topped with cheese. I couldn't pass it up and after the first bit I couldn't be more impressed. Coupled with a nice selection of there own beers made for a fantastic lunch. read more

Last stop. Seemed like growing and maturing smokehouse with authentic BBQ! A must try! The meat is smoked daily., Get there early as they do often run out later in evenings. One person at our table had to substitute when they ran out of chicken. They have a brewery! 14 of their own, several guest craft beers, and card bracelets that unlock taps, allowing you to pour your own pints were between 5 and 6ish dollars. One specialty imperial milkshake ipa, that was a little more, served in a smaller glass due to the alcohol content. Ended up being our favorite restaurant experience in Marquette. Thanks guys #eatmeatdrinkbeer read more

OMG I dream about the brisket.... Seriously the brisket. Marquette has been missing real BBQ, and they found the niche. Food is fantastic, service is excellent, and the wooden bar is super cool. Have been there twice since they opened because we can't get enough of the brisket. Tried the smoked pumpkin pie last time and it was fabulous. Did I mention the brisket is really good? Pricier than some places in town, but on par with smokehouse/bbq places I've been in other cities- but the food is better! Eat here. read more

My partner and I very much enjoyed this restaurant. It came highly recommended by the folks around town and it did NOT disappoint. He ordered the half chicken with roasted carrots. I ordered the chicken nachos and was blown away. They use a delicious beer cheese sauce on them and the platter was enormous. We ordered homemade ice cream for dessert, which was also amazing. Our server was so sweet and grateful for our feedback and we could tell that the staff was working hard. Love this place! read more

Looking for a spot near Marquette for some BBQ. This place came up with good reviews. When we got there, the lot was pretty full, always a good sign. We ordered pulled pork and ribs. Unfortunately both seemed that they were left uncovered under warming lamps for too long. They were very tough and chewy. It will be a while before we return. read more

Excellent place to eat in Marquette. Pulled pork, smoked Ruben, coleslaw, and fries were delicious. In house beer was tasty and server was very friendly and outgoing. Best of all, the meal was reasonably priced. Our family will eat here again! read more

Overpriced and shabby. The inside is pretty dreary looking and water was dripping from the ceiling out of an electrical outlet. But it had been raining for 8 hours, so I can be understanding. We ordered the onion rings (Texas tanglers?) And we got a tiny tray of onion shreds. It costs $9. But they were good. The waitress recommended the BBQ so we got a plate to split for $28. For almost $30 we got 4 tiny ribs, 2 little slices of brisket and two tiny side cups. The food was okay. But for that price, the food shouldn't be "okay" if the portions are that small. If the portions are that small, the food should be excellent. Instead we got subpar food at a price which should've warranted good portion sizes and great taste. We got neither. We will not be back. read more

Wow, had to travel the UP for amazing BBQ. Ok, you drive there and think you took a wrong turn down a neighborhood street. Apparently it's an old dive bar that was converted to a smokehouse. Our waitress couldn't have been any nicer. The Mac N Cheese was smooth and creamy. The ribs were fall off the bone. The brisket was the ticket. Moist and amazing ! We could have eaten just that the whole time. Seriously, amazing brisket!!! We really were impressed with this place. read more

The food was amazing. I know that all prices are high these days, but the burger did seem a bit pricey. On the other hand, a full rack of ribs was a great value and tasted amazing. The service was great and they were all very friendly. I also love the way the place looked inside. All in all, we will definitely go there again once we have the budget to afford it. read more
