Smoke Shack

Larry Belkwater★★★★★

Absolutely Outstanding Food and Great service! Stopped in when they opened and was welcomed by friendly staff and had a great server (Allan)! The Kansas City Eggrolls were a great start followed by a Brisket sandwich with Baked Beans and Mac & Cheese. Also loved trying all of the sauces on the table. They were doing a photoshoot 📸 for new menu items and drinks and I was able to try one of the new April drink specials, the "Spring Strawberry Whiskey Smash"! Wow, what a great drink! Can't wait to return to try the other drinks and new menu items!!

There's a moment when you walk into Smoke Shack and stop moving because your nose needs a second to figure out what's happening. It's wood smoke and something rich and sweet and savory all at once, and then you see the low lighting and the bourbon bottles lined up behind the bar and you realize you're probably not leaving anytime soon. The restaurant is tucked between bigger buildings on Milwaukee Street and it still somehow manages to feel like it has its own personality, rustic and warm and unhurried. We went on a Friday and the place was buzzing but not chaotic. The brisket here is the real

Lovely barbeque joint located in Milwaukee's historic third ward serving up delicious smoked meats and platters. The wings were crispy with a mild smoky flavour and served with ranch and celery sticks. Excellent value for happy hour. I opted for a 2-meat platter with brisket as my meat, mac and cheese and a baked potato for thr sides. The brisket itself was fatty and cooked well with a nice smoky bark. It paired well with the sides and the different sauces. Although some cuts were a little drier than others they still had a good texture and flavor. Overall, I'd come here again with friends

We started with pork belly dip which was delicious. I had the salad with chicken and my husband had the smoked chicken with corn bread and Mac n cheese. Very nice portions for price. Thank you kitchen staff! Bartender made an amazing old fashion-Not sure if that was Fonzi or the Lady behind bar. Fonzi was our server and he was amazing. Super kind and did everything we would expect from a server. This was our first time here and will definitely be back. Such a hidden gem.
