Wouldn’t recommend. Pulled pork has a weird taste, dry and more like the texture of jacklinks chew? Not sure how else to explain that one. Brisket had decent flavor but extremely fatty. Mac and cheese…just stop. Throw it out and start over. The literal worst Mac and cheese my taste buds have ever encountered beyond over cooked and just terrible flavor. Whoever cooked that and still decided to serve it should not work in a kitchen.

Who knew there was this great place for Smoked Meats in Manitowoc? We had pulled pork nachos. Wow! The brisket was also delicious. Low key decor. But nice.

With ample parking in the rear , & along the front & side , you will walk past cozy outdoor seating into a clean , cozy , inviting hometown , oldtime restaurant , with selfserve drinks , tea , bottled sodas , & craft beers , to a ample barbecue menu ! The friendly staff brought a generous sized beef brisket for me that melted in my mouth ! With 8 different tasting barbecue sauces sure to finding the best ! They also provide catering service for when you have a party or special occasions & take out !

We ordered these brisket tacos, some chicken tacos and a special sesame chicken and they were great, and also a great value on “taco Tuesday”. Would highly recommend and will be stopping again

This place use to be great when Brian owned it. We went there regularly. Once he retired and sold the place it went downhill pretty quickly. The service is always horrible. I have given it a few try’s in just the last year and every time I left pissed. From not being seated at all, having to go get my own sauces from behind the counter because I asked repeatedly for BBQ sauce and never got any, to the rude people working behind the counter. Aside from that, the food is nasty and you never get what you order. they are always out of simple things like corn bread, beans, and mac. They do not even ask you if you d like a replacement. They just bill you for one thing and give you whatever they have laying around. Last time they had no cornbread and my beans were refrigerator cold. I would rate zero stars if I could. The building itself is also really nasty and dirty.

My husband and I have loved Brian’s Smokehouse for years, so it was the one and only place we looked to to cater our wedding. Best decision EVER! The food was absolutely delicious! The pulled pork and chicken were amazing as usual, the mac and cheese and beans were perfect sides, and a few of our guests said the potato salad was the best they’ve ever eaten (though that was said about pretty much everything on the menu, too!) The price was incredible – such an amazing deal for the portions that our guests had – and the service they provided was great! I would highly recommend Brian’s Smokehouse – as a stop for lunch, or as the caterer for your next event!
