Honky Tonk Smokehouse

If you’re looking for non-traditional barbecue in North Carolina BBQ country, yet still served with southern hospitality, you’ve found the right place!

Not to be mistaken for its neighbors, either Eastern or Lexington style, Honky Tonk Smokehouse is a small, locally-owned restaurant with more of a Texas- or Memphis-style flavor.

We warmly welcome our customers and treat them like guests in our home.

We want to earn your business by providing a consistent product made fresh each day by people who care about your satisfaction.

The greatest compliment we can receive is when new customers tell us that someone urged them to come in.
