Harrison, Michigan · Est. 1989

Real barbecue doesn't rush. Neither do we.

Low and slow over hickory and oak, every cut is smoked to order — because the best things in life refuse to be hurried.

Our Story

Built on patience,
serviced with pride

Hometown Smokehouse BBQ has been a Harrison institution since 1989 — a place where the smell of hickory smoke greets you before you even step through the door, and every meal tastes like it was made for someone you love.

We don't believe in shortcuts. Our brisket is smoked low and slow for hours over real wood. Our ribs earn their tenderness the long way. And our sides? They're made from scratch, the way your grandmother would approve of.
