Billiken's Smokehouse

The brisket was amazing! Also the pulled chicken. The sausages were very good but the pulled pork was too dry for my liking. We also loved the wings and burnt ends! The belly has melted in our mouth The waitress was very nice and the atmosphere was hysteric

Bilikens not only has amazing food but it’s such a great atmosphere! Everything on their menu is 10/10, the service is impeccable and the drinks are great too. The inside seating area is very classy and there’s a huge yard where you can sit in the spring and summer to enjoy music and good vibes

Had Burnt Ends - crazy tender beef, like a bbq pot roast on a smoker...loved it! Ribs - over the top, great pull, great smoke! Smoked brie - my wife's choice for an app...surprisingly fantastic! Smoked cabbage- for a side I took this on a whim. Not really a cabbage fan but thought, 'let's try something different'. So glad I did!!! Crazy flavor and texture LOVED IT! I would absolutely go back next time in town

In the relentless pursuit of culinary excellence, one often encounters tiresome trends and middling mimicry. Barbecue, in particular, frequently descends into a caricature of smoke and sweetness, rarely achieving true distinction. Yet, Billikens Smokehouse presented a tableau that demanded attention: brisket, possessed of a promising smoke ring, resting upon a bed of pasta awash in creamy sauce, accompanied by beans simmering with an earnest, unpretentious depth. It was a composition challenging the critic's ingrained skepticism. To my considerable surprise, the promise held. The brisket yielded with commendable tenderness, its smokiness profound but not overpowering. The accompanying macaroni, far from being a mere afterthought, offered a rich counterpoint, while the beans provided a grounding, rustic sweetness. It is not often that such straightforward fare compels this critic to reconsider his position, but here, in this unassuming presentation, was evidence of genuine care and a surprising grasp of flavor. Billikens Smokehouse, it seems, understands the heart of barbecue, a discovery as unexpected as it was, admittedly, delightful.

Came here for lunch on the weekend on the hottest day yet this year, and given the age and historic nature of the building it was a little bit warm inside. Aside from that I have no other complaints for the meal the service and the atmosphere that I experience there. The staff was incredibly friendly and had made great recommendations for our meal. I only wish we were warned to how much food we would be getting. We ordered the 'Everything but the SmokeHouse' platter and the French fries with brisket starter and couldn't have been more satisfied. My friend and I were both very hungry and big eaters and we ended up having at least half of all of our food to bring home with us. Portions are very generous and everything was fresh and delicious highly recommend this place.

Really cool spot, I wish I could’ve just walked around the whole historical home this place is in! We got the brisket plate and the smoked sausage plate. Both were delish decent sides. The highlight for me was 100% the loaded cornbread skillet. Trust and believe I’ll be getting that again when I come back!

Everything we ordered tasted amazing and there were plenty of unique flavors to try on the menu. We loved the smoked brie and smoked wings. Service was great and the historic building was so beautiful. We really appreciated the owners going all in on the Halloween decor! I so wish we lived closer so we could come more often! There's plenty of street parking nearby.

My hubby and I have been here twice in the past 2 weeks. Nothing but amazing! From the incredibly welcoming service and killer Happy Hour specials to the delicious grub and homey atmosphere, we LOVE it here! Special shout out to the BEST servers in the 'Burg - Dutch & especially Amanda . Much appreciation to Ashlie (Redd) for running the house so smoothly and with sincerity. Can't wait to come again!!
