These folks make great barbecue at reasonable prices. Super friendly atmosphere. Mostly a take out place though there are a few booths. My one warning is that they close when they run out of meat and thats often an hour, or even more, before their "closing" hours. read more

We got the pulled pork sandwich and the brisket sandwich...they both tasted exactly the same so much that you couldn't tell which was which. The so called pulled pork looked like pieces of ham and the brisket also tasted like ham. I was the only one who knew which sandwich was which and when I gave them to everyone they all thought they got a ham sandwich. No taste of beef or pork and were very salty. read more

Let me say if they are getting anything above a 1 star rating it is a lie. Absolutely the worst we have ever had! I mean the brisket, the pork barbecue, the Mac and cheese and I won't try anything else! All were horribly dry! I am a barbecue expert! No my opinion but the TRUTH!! read more

I would rate this place a solid 4 - definitely will bump it up if they had more sizes to choose from which I believe were only three but I'll have to go back and look at the menu. Staff greeted me when I entered and explained that the mac and cheese was not part of their size It's its own separate cost unless it's with a special. The brisket in the mac and cheese was very tasty they did chop it up honestly I thought it was going to be on the side instead of on the Mac but honestly I wanted it that way anyways and they provided a barbecue sauce on the side without me asking and I had plenty for the meal. With it being so close to the campground - It's definitely a better option than fast food. If I was in the area would I come back I definitely would to try some other selections - please no I did not dine in I basically ordered when I arrived and the food came out less than 10 minutes. Happy Eating! read more

I wasn't even that hungry but I thought $6.95 for a 4 piece chicken I'll give it a shot good thing I did this was the best bbq I've ever had. It was cheap and delicious also bathroom was clean and so was the restaurant. There was alot of traffic in and out the door but a real short wait. Aged white cheddar Mac and cheese was out of this world so was the bbq sauce what a gem I can't wait to try something else! read more

I proudly call myself a "foodie". I have been many places in the United States, and I make sure to try the favorite place to check-out in each place I visit. I have years of food service(a cook myself each time)within my palate, so I can be a bit picky. I lived in South Carolina, near Charleston, for a while. Barbecue is their world, and I can say I've tried just about every style BBQ known just from living there. Hometown Smokehouse, blew my mind away!! Hands down the best barbecue I have had in a very, very long time! Diamond in the rough. Great job to the owners, cooks, and servers there! Your business will grow fast with excellent food like that. May you prosper beyond your dreams. read more

10/10 Food was so delicious! Staff were extra friendly and helpful. Excited to be moving to the area so I can come back again.

They catered the brisket for our wedding last September. It was delicious!!! Highly recommend! Great staff, decent prices.

My husband and I moved into town a little while ago. I saw this hometown smokehouse to try it so he finally stopped one day and we had the brisket and pork were definitely more than the pork. There was nothing wrong with the pork at all and everything was perfect. read more

The food is always top notch! Always busy too and they keep the line moving no matter how big the order is. I love supporting a small business having been raised in Harrison. read more

We had the brisket for Valentines day. It was FANTASTIC!! Tender and Juicy, and frickin-delicious!! The coleslaw and beans were so yummy too!! We are now huge fans and will be frequent customers!! Thanks Home town BBQ for an excellent dinner!!! read more

This fine establishment is in its 4th year and sadly I can admit I've never tried them before today. I'm convalescing at home and a dear friend bought me a chicken and ribs combo dinner with macaroni salad and bbq baked beans. OMG! This is, as Guy Fieri would say, is OFF THE HOOK! First the meats. A solid smoked flavor that was good enough to eat solo without the sauce. Tender and generous in amount. But then you gotta add the sauce and POW! There's a subtle hint of bourbon settling on your taste buds. It takes the smokiness to another level, complimenting rather than smothering that great smokiness flavor of the meats. I have super high standards for my baked beans, having a really great family recipe that usually makes all other baked beans dull by comparison. But this tastes soooo much like mine it's uncanny! Super delicious, not too sweet (like bush's that is like licking a sugar cube!). Deep Smokey flavor that has penetrated the bits of bacon, the navy beans, to a degree that is ultra satisfying. The macaroni salad. I was told they take THREE DAYS TO MAKE A BATCH! Yes! That's (uh uh the way I like it uh uh!) the way ALL cold salads should be made. Many many moons ago, that was how KFC made their macaroni salad (those days are long gone!) and you can taste how the slurry marinated the macaroni and cut veggies. This is done with deliberate care and the payoff is in your total tastebuds satisfaction! This is a family run business I'm told. Keep it that way please. The attention to detail makes this an amazing experience. If you are ever in the Harrison area, I would HIGHLY recommend you stop and visit this little gem, clearly Clare County's finest restaurant! Ps: pricing is moderate so a meal for a family of four won't break the bank! read more

Solid! Super moist, tender and juicy BBQ Chicken, pulled pork, and brisket. Good beans. Good pasta salad. And super creamy coleslaw. Between the 4 in our group, everyone was totally satisfied. Also FAST. read more

Hometown Smokehouse BBQ - Bbq Chicken, beans, and cornbread. - Barbeque Near Me - Harrison, Michigan

We spent the weekend at our cabin, and decided to finally visit this place. We loved it so much, we thought about heading back over the next night! We both got the brisket, it's just as good as the popular bbq place in metro Detroit, and half the price. We both got the dinners; they come with two sides. I got the beans and coleslaw. The beans were amazing! I'll probably get two sides of beans next time. The only thing I didn't love was the coleslaw. It honestly had a bleachy type of taste to it, so unfortunately I tossed it after the first bite. I was also surprised that they had macaroni salad as a side but no mac 'n cheese (???). I thought that was fairly standard at a barbecue joint. I make my own amazing baked mac 'n cheese, so next time I'll just make sure I have some on hand. The choices for sides are: a bag of chips, macaroni salad, coleslaw, and beans. They also have cornbread, which is $1.00 extra. The cornbread was absolutely delicious!! My husband doesn't even like cornbread but wanted to try a bite and ended up taking half of mine! So next time we'll be ordering more of that, for sure! We will definitely be back for more the next time we're in town! read more

With so much to like these are my favorites , the pulled pork nachos, the smoked chicken is delicious and the Mac salad is on point!

This is the BEST BBQ around. The staff are always friendly and willing to assist. The food is incredible including the sides!!! The portions are huge and this is a place you should not miss!!! Priced right and delicious!!! read more

This place has amazing food and great prices. Staff is super helpful and friendly, fast service also!

We were looking for a place for lunch in our way home from up north and came across Hometown Smokehouse so jumped off the highway to check it out - and we're so glad we did! We got pulled pork and Mac and cheese and oh my goodness. The food was excellent and staff were just lovely. Definitely small mom & pop bbq place but exactly what you want if you're looking for good bbq. read more

Absolutely delicious barbecue, perfectly smoked; very reasonable prices. We have enjoyed every meat we have ever tried here's although I am partial to the chicken snd my spouse likes the sausage. The barbecue sauce is great -- tomato based, thin, a little tart, pleasant slicing. We also enjoy the baked beans, which have pulled pork in them, and the " just like Mom's" macaroni salad. The only thing I don't like about this place is that it's seasonal, and only open three days a week. read more

Best BBQ around. The brisket is delicious, everything is. No going wrong here. Definitely 1000 times better then all the bad pizza joints around here. Kudos to all the staff! read more
