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.
We smoke all our meats fresh each day on site.
All of our sides and desserts are freshly prepared in the restaurant and taste just like your mama’s home cooking (or maybe better).
All our Platters are served with your choice of any two sides and Texas toast.
