Oak Smoke Texas Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Onaway, Michigan

Delicious! He makes all the meat on the smoker right behind the restaurant and it's perfect for and amazing! The sides are homemade and wonderful, too! Prices are great! You can even eat inside now since he put tables inside! Service is great, too! It's only open on the weekends in the summer, noon until he sells out, but it's well worth it! Let's keep this restaurant alive because Onaway needs it! read more

I cant believe I'm the first review this place on Yelp. This little gem is only open sporadically and you need to check their FB page to see when they are open (typically Fridays at noon), but if you get here when they are serving...you WONT be sorry! I spent a few years in the Texas Hill Country and this place does absolutely nail Texas bbq and I was shocked to find it in the little town of Onaway! I got the combination plate. The food portion was fair for the price charged, and the taste....oh my. The beans were good. The brisket was amazing, and perfectly done. Ribs had just the right amount of "pull" to them and were wonderful. But here is the bonus. As part of the combo plate you get a thigh and leg of smoked chicken. Now, I'm not a big fan of smoked chicken but this chicken was AMAZING! Frankly I've never had better smoked chicken anywhere, including my smoker or even from Texas, it was that good. They have a white sauce you can get at the counter that paired with the chicken is simply the best you will ever have. I wish they offered a smoked sausage, slice of bread and pickles/pickled jalapeno, like they do in Texas - but I'm not complaining. If you like bbq, you need to come here. If I was driving I-75 and wanted good bbq, I would take the 20 minute detour to hit this place. Its that good. You'll thank me later. CASH ONLY. read more
