AMAZING BBQ!! Located in oakhurst. If you come in the afternoon, except a line as their food is delicious. We got a half rack of ribs: great. Comes with two regular sides, pickles, and a roll. We also got a two meat platter with brisket and tri tip, and a half pound of brisket. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BRISKET!! It's delicious. Their BBQ is very high quality. For the sides, we loved the baked beans, as the sauce and bits of meat in it are so good. The jalapeño Mac and cheese is also great. Their tables are set up nicely with a paper towel roll and BBQ sauce. Staff are very friendly and check on you while eating. You order and they cut the meat right there, then you pay. Line moves quick but get in early because they close once they sell out! Plenty of seating with high turnover. You can also do take out. read more

Smokehouse 41 - Half rack ribs, 2 meat platter, and half pound of brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Oakhurst, California

california style bbq ftw! the pork ribs, bbq sauce, cole slaw, beans, pickles - a good bbq without being too overpowering, but still tasty! the meat with the beans were ok, but overall, a great place for a quick bite! wish they stayed open later though on a saturday. yelp wasn't sure if the place opened until 8 pm or 9 pm on a saturday. the winner is their 41 smoke-in blonde beer though! it is specially made for their restaurant and it is on draft only (so you can't buy any cans to go). be sure to stop by when you are in the area. ps - be aware of cops in the area, so drive safe or stay in the area and just walk over read more

Ate here for lunch on the way home from Yosemite, and it was probably the best decision of my entire life. Marrying my wife was a close 2nd. The brisket was incredible and the pulled pork was perfect. Really nice, comfortable vibes in the restaurant, with a big patio available also. Already planned the next Yosemite trip so I can see some waterfalls and eat at Smokehouse 41 again. read more

We were looking for a place to eat and found this place and it was delicious! Nothing like good meat to eat when you are hungry! When we arrived around 4:30pm, there was a line out the door. They had a worker standing outside to assist guests with questions they had about the menu. I asked the girl some questions and she recommended the premium potato salad upgrade so I got it and did not regret it! She was very passionate about the food there and she said it was the best food on the mountain! It's a good sign when your workers are happy to eat there! I asked for a beer similar to a blue moon and the manager grabbed the Wiesn beer without hesitation and I loved it! I ordered the 2 meat place with beans and the premium potato salad and it was delicious! My friend ordered the banana pudding dessert and it was delicious! We loved eating here and I'm so glad they had a great restaurant here to stop at! read more

After 5 days of eating camp food in the valley, our group was craving GOOD barbecue on the way home. Smokehouse 41 did not disappoint! The 3 meat plate was plenty of food for 2 people. Everything we ate was delicious but the brisket and the twice baked potato casserole were our favorites. I wish I got a picture but we ate everything too quickly :) read more

My thoughts: This is a traditional classic American restaurant that is been around the Oakurt area through out the up and down of the economy. And any restaurant can survive the harsh business world is A OK in my book. Plus they do serve good BBQ food and maintain a reasonable price. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean but not up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of BBQ food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare here in America. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think. Go foodie read more

The pork is sooo dry, the pork rib is terrible just like my grandma's fake teeth. And idk why they put butter inside the to go box, it melt and leaks everywhere in my car. Guess how terrible it feels to have such a meal after 8 hr hiking. read more

We stopped here after a quick hike at Yosemite - around 2:30 on a Sunday. My husband had the , or at least we thought he had the Sasquatch. It was gone too fast for us to really get a photo. He said the coleslaw was good, but prefers creamy over vinegar. Our daughter and I each had the 41 Baker. Those sweet potatoes are GIGANTIC - and topped how you like - we both had pulled pork and barely finished half of our order. The pulled pork was perfect. And the sweet potato was perfectly combined with the salty skin. If you're hesitant, just take a deep breath and get in line. It's entirely worth the wait. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch after our Yosemite trip and before driving back home. We stumbled upon this place on Yelp and it looked good. But we felt like there were a few misses. I appreciate the fact you're able to sample a few of the meats! We asked for a sample of their chicken and it was pretty juicy. We got a 2 meat combo (brisket and tri-tip) with the mac and cheese and creamy broccoli salad for our sides. The tri-tip was too dry but the brisket was good and tender, this was our favorite. However, we feel that we've had better elsewhere. The mac and cheese lacked flavor and was not cheesy enough. Broccoli salad was good! We enjoyed the apples that were tossed in there and it balanced our meal with the sweetness. The bread roll was tasty and soft, but not any better than a King's Hawaiian roll. Overall did not meet our expectations and not very notable, but good to try. read more

Smokehouse 41 - 2 Meat Plate with Brisket and Tri-tip along with creamy broccoli salad and jalapeño mac and cheese with bacon as sides - Barbeque Near Me - Oakhurst, California

This place is so popular there is no option on a Saturday night but to wait in line, but I met some really nice people in the line and enjoyed hearing about where they were visiting from. I especially enjoyed the house made pickles (fresh!!) and the twice baked potato casserole. The baked beans with meltingly tender brisket were also a standout! The ribs lean toward mustardy and I'm kind of a wuss and prefer my BBQ the sweeter the better (brown sugar and honey anyone?). I loved the ambiance of cozy casual western. Inside was full when I got my order but I really enjoyed eating at the outdoor bar height table with its view of the greenery. It was still 80 degrees F so perfectly comfortable to linger and enjoy the night sounds and pine smells. Shoutout to the ladies who kept the line moving and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our sit down meal. All in all just a great experience!! read more

Amazing bbq place in California. We stopped by after our trip to Yosemite on a Sunday and got there right at opening! There was already a line formed in the front. Order first, they prepare your food/plate in front of you, and then you pay and grab a seat to eat. We ordered half a rack of ribs and a 2 meat plate with brisket, tritip, mac n cheese and beans for the sides. Their sides are SO delicious, especially the barbecue beans, something about the sauce makes it so yummy. The mac n cheese is also good but not super cheesy. All their meats are slow cooked to perfection, our favorite was the ribs. You can bite if right off the bone, it is so good with the sauce as well. It comes more of a dry rub and you can drizzle more barbecue sauce to your liking as you eat! The brisket was my second favorite, very tender and not chewy. The tritip was good but a little chewy, great with sauce too. I stop by here everytime I go to Yosemite now. read more

Closes early, runs out of food, no phone orders after 6. We walked in for a takeout, no spareribs left. We had a tri-tip sandwich and a brisket sandwich. Both were excellent, tender and tasty. Brisket texture like steak, brisket softer like slow roasted. Bun was really good. Side choice were ok, husband liked the coleslaw, jalapeño Mac and cheese was good, beans ok. Fast service, walk in and they cut the meat right in front of you...warning, you will be DROOLING! Yelping my way in Northern Cali, thanks and yum! read more

This place makes me happy. This place is absolutely one of my favorite barbecue places with really simple, well done barbecue. The people are wonderful, and the place is always clean. I think my absolute favorite thing to eat here is the brisket. It's perfectly cooked, with good flavor, and they don't hide the flavors in sauce. The pulled pork is a little dry for me, but it's not bad. The sausage is also absolutely tasty. The mac & cheese is a classic and tasty treat. You absolutely need to try the Housemade pickles while you're here. They're incredible. All in all, I absolutely love this place and considered a treat just to eat here. read more

Stayed in Oakhurst and was recommended this spot. We came on a Saturday night and the line was wrapped around the corner. Would have given the place 5 stars but they had no heaters outside and it was freezing ! Would be nice to have some warmth for guests waiting to enter the establishment. My party ordered the mammoth plate and it was the perfect amount of everything. We ordered the broccoli salad and macaroni n cheese as the sides, the flavor was delish on everything! Would defs come back for this bbq read more

We ordered for take out and picked up around 6:30. It was packed in there. Small space, small amount of tables. We ordered tri tip as one of our meats but they only gave us brisket.... - Ribs 5/5 FALL OFF THE BONE, JUICY, TENDER, WELL SEASONED. They don't slather it in the BBQ sauce which is very nice. - Brisket 5/5 The pieces that had rendered fat was SUPER delicious. The ones that were thin and didn't have fat was ok. - Sausage 1.9/5 Basic sausage, nothing special. - Beans 1.4/5 Beans were suuuuper sweet. - Cole Slaw 5/5 REALLY yummy Cole slaw. Kind of tastes like the KFC Cole slaw but less sweet. - Broccoli (extra $1) 5/5 Really yummy, but they give so little for the upcharge! - Mac and cheese 1.6/5 Basic, it was ok... Free parking in lot read more

Best bbq place I have ever been to by far! I really like how they cut up and prepared the food in front of you like subway which made the service very quick. The interior was nice and well furnished. The ribs were absolutely amazing along with the beans, the only thing that I didn't really like was the Mac and cheese because it was kinda cold and the cheese kinda tasted like nacho sauce. Overall the experience was a 9.9 out of 10! read more

One of the best place to eat at oakhurts. I had to come back twice and eat here that's how good it is. First time i came an hour before closing i had to take my food to go cause of the sitting, the 2nd time i came in 10 mins right when it opened and got a table inside. Definitely worth the wait in my opinion. Staffs are friendly and helpful. The place does get really packed so be prepare to wait for a while! Parking could be a bit hectic. Overall a great experience and will come back again read more

D-lish-US!! We found this place on our way to Yosemite through the Shaka tour app. My husband is wicked good on the BBQ and smoker so we are generally underwhelmed at bbq places. Not this time. My husband got the Sasquatch sandwich and I got brisket and house potatoes. Both meats were mouthwatering moist and tender. Best of all, they are a Coke restaurant which we have had a hard time finding on our trip through the parks. Service was fast and friendly and restaurant was clean. Two thumbs way way up and five stars all the way. read more

Re add overjoyed the meats, even though they were fine to brisket and sausage. Both were tasty tender and worth stopping by for. I had green salad as one of my sides and wish I'd gotten a double order. read more

A quick counter serve BBQ joint in the heart of Oakhurst - delivers laid back vacation vibes. Unfortunately the food just wasn't a home run for me. It was not the worst BBQ I've had, but not the best either. It could have been warmer (meat was cold, sides were lukewarm), and the "wow" factor was just missing for me with the flavors. read more

Smokehouse 41 - 2 meat plate with chicken and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Oakhurst, California

Smokehouse 41 is legit if you're craving real barbecue. The meat comes out tender, smoky, and packed with flavor --you can tell it's been done low and slow the right way. The brisket was my favorite: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and literally falling apart. The ribs had that perfect pull, not overcooked, not tough -- just right. Their sides are also on point. The mac is creamy without being heavy, the cornbread is actually moist (rare), and the sauces give you options without overpowering the meat. Portions are generous and absolutely worth the price. Service was quick, the staff was friendly, and the whole place has that warm, classic BBQ vibe. Definitely a spot I'II be coming back to whenever I want a real, satisfying meal. read more

It was my first time trying BBQ like this. I was visiting Tenaya and looking for something to eat when I came across this place. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. I ordered a variety of items, including beans, mac and cheese, chicken, and fries, and everything tasted so good. The service was very fast, and they even cut the meat right in front of you. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone who really enjoys BBQ! read more

Get the "Baker" with double meat! It is sensational - a sweet potato cooked to perfection, smothered in butter and salted on the outside. Fill it with pulled pork or chicken... uuuumm - I'm hungry! read more

The sweet smell of hickory smoke and meats hit me hard as we parked, just how I like it. They have a great assembly line style of putting together you order that moved things along nicely. If you're anywhere near or traveling by on your way to Yosemite, you must stop and indulge your inner carnivore. No one could finish their plate, like physically could not finish, though we all wanted to. In fact, we took a little rest and then made a valiant effort to finish. I had brisket and tri-tip and for sides, the bacon topped Mac n Cheese and coleslaw. I will remember the brisket and Mac for a while - so good. None of the meat needed bbq sauce, but I sparsely used some of their house spicy sauce - very tasty. The boy had a half rack of ribs, but that pig must have been super long! It was more like a 2/3 rack! He spared one rib for me, and yes, delicious falling off the bone. Easy parking. Easy to get to. Just go. read more

Pulled up thinking "cool, BBQ." Left acting like I discovered a secret menu. The ribs are the reason you come back. Full stop. Bark on the outside. Smoke that actually tastes like smoke, not perfume. Meat tender but still has structure. Not that mushy fall-apart that feels boiled. This is the rare sweet spot. You bite and it pulls clean. Juices still there. Seasoning locked in. It's the kind of rib that makes you look at your table like "are y'all tasting this or am I alone." Never had ribs like this. I get it. Brisket was lit in the most satisfying way. Fat rendered right. Soft but not greasy. Peppery edges. Smoky depth. Every slice feels like it got babysat by someone who respects the craft. This is brisket that doesn't need a pep talk from sauce. It stands up. Tri-tip is solid. Beefy. Properly cooked. Good chew. Good moisture. It's the dependable friend in the group chat. Not the loudest. Always shows up. Loaded fries are the guilty pleasure that turns into the main event. Crispy base holding the weight. Toppings piled generous. Cheese melted through. Meat everywhere. It's chaotic in the best way. But you need the chipotle sauce on the side. Mandatory. That sauce is the cheat code. Smoky. Creamy. Little heat. Goes with everything. Fries. Ribs. Brisket. Tri-tip. Probably your fingers. Chipotle sauce was life. Now the mac and cheese... babe. Bottom of the barrel. Soft. Underseasoned. Feels like it came to the party late and didn't bring a gift. This is the one miss. It happens. Just don't make it your side unless you like disappointment with a spoon. Lol. Bread situation matters here. The sandwich bread is fine but forgettable. The dinner roll is the move. Soft. Slight sweetness. Pull-apart fluffy. Built for sauce dragging. Built for brisket drippings. Built for making a little DIY slider situation at the table like you're a kid and you don't pay rent. Get the roll. All day. Service is a major win. Staff is amazingly helpful. They move fast. They answer questions like they want you to order right. Food comes out quick. No chaos. No long waits. Efficient but friendly. This is how BBQ places should run. Minus the mac. Again. Lol. Coming back to Oakhurst just for this place. It's giving... BBQ Avengers lineup where the ribs are Captain America and the mac is the one hero they forgot to cast. read more

If a Michelin star got tipsy on craft beer and fell in love with a smoker, this would be their baby. The Jalapeño Mac? Absolute fire creamy, spicy, and dangerously addictive. Sadly, they ran out of the bacon topping, which was like losing the last piece of chocolate on Valentine's Day tragic but survivable. Now let's talk pork: Next. Freaking. Level. Like it took a master class in flavor and graduated summa cum smoky. The tri-tip and brisket? Oh, honey. Those smoke rings were so perfect they should be on display at the MoMA, and the taste? Bold enough to make you question every other BBQ you've ever had. The craft beer selection keeps it classy, with 10 canned and 6 draft options--a perfect pairing for all the meaty goodness. The sausage? Good, not legendary, but solid enough to earn a nod of approval from Deadpool himself. Service? On point. Ambiance? Rustic, cozy, and soaked in smoky glory. If you're not leaving here with a happy food coma, you're doing it wrong. Smokehouse 41 is BBQ royalty kneel, eat, and thank the meat gods later. read more

Smokehouse 41 - Our haul for this spot! 10/10 - Barbeque Near Me - Oakhurst, California

I would put this restaurant as a must go spot if you are on your way to Yosemite. Who knew there would be a hidden BBQ gem in a small town? We arrived on Sunday at lunch shortly after opening and there was already a line. Most people do take out so there were still plenty of seats. You order at the counter where the meats and sides are displayed. Someone cuts your sides on the spot. Our family shares the Mammoth and it was a ginormous tray of deliciousness. All of the meats were smoked to perfection. Some review say the tri tip was dry but ours was moist- just a bit tough. We enjoyed the brisket and the pulled pork the most. The twice baked potato casserole tasted like a guilty pleasure and the cole slaw was sweet, crunchy, and refreshing. There are paper towels at the table for the messy fingers and faces. We wish we had room for dessert but we had tons of leftovers. The staff is super helpful and checked on us multiple times. Come and check out this gem! read more

Food was delicious barbecue ribs, chicken sausage And the brisket were on point, Service was ok I didn't really interact with them much because I had a pick up order . They do get busy that's what I noticed. they stop taking takeout orders at 6:30. Just a heads up but definitely recommend the barbecue. read more

So this deserves a more in-depth review because some things are good and others are horrible. Let's start with the good . The pool chicken was actually decent. I think that's their best thing they have so far that I've tried and I'd give it a 8.9 out of 10. The wings, smoked wings, they were awful tasting. They tasted as if this was cloned, plastic chicken. The flavor is on top of just the chicken texture and the natural chicken flavoring were very mild and weak.. 4.5/10 The mac & cheese ... gets a -75 out of 10. It was the worst mac & cheese I have ever tasted. It was so bad. I never imagined that mac & cheese could taste like this. I literally took one bite, and I spit it out into the plate. Literally disgusted. I feel like this place has some potential though. They need to definitely pay attention to the reviews and change up some things. read more

We stopped her on our way back from Yosemite because of the good reviews. There was a line outside but it was worth the wait. I had the three meat plate combo and everything was juicy and tender. The sides, mac and cheese and the baked beans, complemented the BBQ. They make their own BBQ sauce and pickles, they were very tasty. Everything we ordered was perfect. I was especially pleased with the great customer service. All the employees were attentive and friendly. Will definitely come back when we are in the area. read more

Smokehouse 41 - Brisket, pulled pork, tri-tip, baked beans, coleslaw, and jalapeño Mac n Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Oakhurst, California

Good was great ... service was excellent ... only issue is the dining room is not very big.

The best place to stop before Yosemite or after leaving Yosemite (if you're headed back down to socal, ofc). Not many words to say because ALL the meats are SO juicy, smoked SO well, and absolutely delicious. The Pit Master sandwich is bomb. So is getting a 3 meat plate with 2 sides. As for the sides, the baked beans are literally the best baked beans I've ever had because of how much cumin they put into it. and large pieces of pork lol. Mac and cheese (jalapeno with bacon) is solid. Would order again. I don't like cole slaw bc I don't like mayo, but this cole slaw is now my fave bc it's tangy and has exactly everything a slaw needs without the mayo. I can even write home about their pickles - they add celery seed to the brine, so you get an extra flavor profile when you crunch. Honestly, they didn't even need to add a dinner roll to my 3 meat plate bc everything on my plate made the dinner roll look so sad. I can't wait to come back again. We came right before 5pm on a Sunday and only 2 people in line in front of us. read more
