Delicious food and friendly staff

Only about 2 miles from town. Relaxing decor. Many interesting entrees and desserts. Staff checked on guests frequently for needs. Delicious food served as a culinary delight. Owned by owners of The Lodge - free voucher from The Lodge for a glass of wine here.

Lives up to the reviews

This small supper club is everything the other reviews say. Food is excellent. One warning if you order dessert - portion sizes are large but I would order one again! Reservations are recommended.

Pleasantly Surprised!

Great find in the Northwoods! Great service, friendly staff, and delicious food! They also have a piano player on the weekends - which is a nice added bonus! Our entire group left full and happy. Will be back for sure!

When I hear the name Smokey's I picture a wood fired grill. How do they cook the steaks? What is the BBQ Mini Pork Shanks? Is this their rack of ribs so to speak?

Not sure. Usually wood fired grills are exposed, but not here. I feel it is more traditional cooking. But very good.
