Cluckin' delicious! This is the best barbecue my family and I have eaten outside of Austin, Texas (and that's saying a lot). This place has a great atmosphere and even better food. The sangria is amazing too! The pork rinds they bring to the table are homemade and delicious. They serve generous portions of good quality food. You should definitely stop by for dinner if you are in Duluth. read more

Thank goodness for a restaurant with a kitchen open til 10. I get that it's a pretty unconventional dinner time, but after driving up after work on a Friday, OMC was a shining beacon. All hostesses or servers I encountered were incredibly nice. Food service was super fast. Like had barely tasted the different sauces she explained before my server brought my Northern Pride and Cheesy Jalapeño Grits. The sammie was amazing. Juicy, flavorful meat overflowing the bun (I love leftovers), crunchy haystack onions to add texture, and some good ol slaw to sweeten it all. I didn't add sauce; I often don't like to mess with how the chef intended it. It was lacking nothing. The grits were a little cold which which would make me give this a 4.5 if I could. They were flavorful with just a hint of jalapeño, not too spicy. The cheese hadn't even melted. But they did have a good texture. What keeps this a 5 star rating is Natalie. I had stopped for gas on my drive up and threw my wallet on the passenger seat rather than back in my purse. Here I am trying to pay and faced with such an embarrassing dilemma. I explained it clearly to Natalie that I wasn't trying to dine and dash, but I would have to leave in order to pay. I traded her my phone as collateral and dashed to my car. She stayed at my table to keep watch over my phone! So sweet to go that extra step. Thank you! read more

Very good and ambiance is good. Can get loud when busy and they are busy a lot. Give it a try!

Came in on the merits of fellow Yelpers and was not dissappointed at all! Environment: clean, warm, and welcoming Service: friendly and helpful to first timers Food: I ordered the half rack, brisket, Mexican corn, with the crispiest fries ever. Complimentary were the pork rinds in an all you can eat format. The best sauce is the white sauce which is based upon horse radish. The food was hot and tasty, a little salty on the rub but still within reason. If OMC stands for Oink, Moo, and Cluck - I hope they continue to do so for a very long time. read more

Awesome. i love that place. The Nashville Hot Chicken burns going in and burns going out.

We ordered takeout the last time we were up in Duluth and were very happy. We ordered a lot of stuff because we wanted to try everything and we were really hungry, plus supporting local businesses, yay. -The beef fat fries were pretty cracky - just exactly what they sound like. Thick hand-cut fries cooked in beef fat. How could you go wrong with that? -I got the henny penny sandwich, which is pulled pork, cheddar and bacon. The bun was really nice and the sandwich was as advertised. Very tasty and surprisingly vinegary - reminded me of our time in NC eating Carolina cue. -Hubby got the brisket, which he said was pretty good. But he is a very good smokemaster in his own right and he did think that maybe it could have gone another hour or two but whatever. He ate all of it. -Mac and cheese was good - gooey and cheesey -bacon and blue cheese potato salad - shut the front door. SO good. I almost made him stop on the way out of town so I could get some to take home. I love a good potato salad and OMG, OMC. We'll be back. read more

We stopped in on our way through town from Northern Ontario to Indiana. We had Amy for a waitress and couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of our group. She was vastly knowledgeable of the menu and her recommendations were spot on! We came very late; about an hour before close and Amy saw to it we could get some ribs even though they were about out of them! The food was delicious, and we recommend the brisket! Soooo good! They have four sauces and all of them were very good! This will be our yearly stop on our way home from fishing! The photo is a local thrown skull mug from their worthy souvenir offerings. My daughter loves it! read more

I was there in July 2021. What a delicious menu filled with options for food and local beer. My family had a great time there. The option of indoor or outdoor seating was a bonus. Such friendly service. It's part of Duluth I wouldn't just stumble upon but easy to find and worth going a little off the beaten path. Would definitely recommend. read more

The brisket is unbelievable! Be sure to get a side of their Mac n cheese too, it is also full of flavor! I also loved the Alabama white sauce! read more

We called ahead they told us they will put our name on list and it will be 45 minutes . We get there 10 Min later after packing all kids in the car , they rude front staff lady with a whole bunch of attitude tells us it will be 1 hour 40 min . When we ask her why did she tell us 45 min over the phone she is rude and irritated tells us she can't guarantee anything. I can't say anything about food since we didn't stay but their front staff is awful read more

Great service and food was delicious we had hush puppies and the pork nachos i very much so recommend!!

We heard that OMC Smokehouse was really good, and we heard right. The only disappointing thing was on the online menu there is a Po Boy and we found out they took it off their menu. We arrived and you could smell the smoke! They were closing early but we still had time to eat. You are given some pork rinds as soon as you sit down along with their homemade signature sauces. These sauces are delicious. We started out with the super nachos. This is corn tortilla chips, pulled pork, pico de gallo, pickled jalapenos, cheese sauce, scallions, chipotle-cilantro BBQ, sour cream and cowboy candy. We got the nachos and after a few bites I asked what the cowboy candy looked like. She brought us out a small cup (there was none on our nachos) this is the great combo of mangos and jalapeños! We couldn't get enough of it. The chips held up to all the ingredients and remained crunchy! The toppings were large portions and extremely flavorful. We shared the chicken fried ribs. The crunch, the flavor was on point. Added a little house sauce and I couldn't stop eating them. We also shared the barbacoa tacos. The server said there was cowboy candy on it and there wasn't but she went and got us some. Flavorful with a sturdy shell holding it all together. For side we got the Mac n cheese, finally a Mac n cheese with actual creamy cheese. We also got the roasted bacon and blue cheese potato salad. Yes it has onions (I am not a fan of onions) it was still good. I good hint of blue cheese and plenty of bacon. Our server Grace was amazing. Knowledge of product, friendly and quick to get us our food. Plus she introduced us to the cowboy candy. read more

Unbelievable. We frequent the south often...this place felt like we were in a Memphis BBQ. Definitely a place to eat when you visit Duluth.

Great BBQ "up North". This was a fun place with really good food. We were visiting Duluth (from SC) on our way up the North Shore. We decided to try OMC and were not disappointed. The complimentary house-made pork rinds were a great start. read more

I read about OMC Smokehouse when they opened in Duluth a couple of years ago. For those that don't know, OMC is Oink, Moo, Cluck. I love it and I love bbq. So after spending our day in Duluth we planned to pick up some que for dinner on our way home. Now the hard part. What to order as their menu looks outstanding. We always tend to order too much as there could be leftovers..... We called in our order and it was ready when we arrived. They were very busy and the folks that helped us were very friendly. Our order consisted of some ribs, brisket, pulled pork, bama brisket wrap, chicken fingers, beef fat fries, coleslaw and grits or about an entire cow's worth of food. We were pretty hungry after fishing most of the day we dug in right away. The brisket was outstanding! Some of the best brisket that we have had in a long time. Having visited bbq locations in KC, Texas, VA, SC and Memphis, we have eaten some bbq over the years. OMC brisket rates right up there with the best that we have ever had. The ribs were also excellent. Tender and flavorful. I would have preferred a little more chew to them but now I'm being picky. The pulled pork was very good. Should have picked up a bun and added coleslaw but we already had too much food. Chicken fingers were also very good and the bama brisket wrap was full of goodness and flavor. The coleslaw was good but the grits brought us back to our time in Charleston. Like I said so many other items looked great. The wings, pork belly, oh my. Could be the best bbq restaurant in MN. Definitely will be back here next time we are in town! read more

In A Nutshell: -OMC Smokehouse, which cleverly stands for Oink, Moo and Cluck serves up some very good BBQ in Duluth, MN. -It's a small, yet packed restaurant that offers indoor & outdoor seating. -You can also get it delivered nearby, if you want. -We ended getting it delivered to the nearby Bent Paddle Brewery. -The Beef Fat Fries were perfectly crispy & very enjoyable to indulge in. -If you want to try a little bit of everything, I recommend getting the Smoke OMC Plate for only $24. -This sampler offers two St. Louis Ribs, sliced brisket and 1/4 smoked chicken. -Everything tasted very good & you'll leave nothing behind!

This place isn't good ..... it's legendary!! Passing through, we were just looking for something to satisfy a rumbling tummy. Boy were we in for a surprise! OMC knocks it out of the park, fall off the bone tender meats with rich Smokey flavors. Their sauces are plentiful and all very well executed. There's something for everyone here (for every meat lover anyway ;) ). Compliments to the chef(s) read more

First off, I'm a bit of a BBQ aficionado. I've hit up 50+ top rated BBQ restaurants all over the US in the last 3 years. As far as brisket goes, this was the best I've ever had. Amazingly, my girlfriend who always orders ribs was the first one to say "these are the best ribs I've ever had". I laughed at the irony. But one thing is for sure - it's no coincidence that we both had this experience. This place knows their meat. read more

Was taken here on a date while in town and was very impressed! We tried the Brisket Bombs: they were delicious. Very fresh! I had the smoked chicken with side salad and mac and cheese. The french dressing was really delicious. Clearly made in house. The smoked chicken was amazing. Tender, smokey flavor, highly recommend. My date had the HOT Nashville Chicken sandwich. They are not kidding that it is HOT. It was so delicious but a bit too spicy to eat. Although it was hard to not eat also... you just want to keep eating it, even though your lips are on fire, your nose is running, and your water is gone! :) And the grand finale, complimentary s'mores that you can make out at their campfire! Love the atmosphere! Service was fantastic! Definitely will be back! read more

That's right, the elusive 5 star review! It is a score I don't had out often, but I would give this place 6 if I could. My son had eaten here a couple months ago and recommended it and I am glad he did. Place was busy and handled all the current restrictions very nicely. Everyone was super friendly, especially our waiter. He was awesome and gave us some great ideas about of the menu combinations. We all tried variations of their brisket, either nachos, sammiches, or tacos. Wish we would have tried some of their other meats but we were all craving brisket and it did not disappoint. Were this place really shined, therefore it gets its own paragraph, is their sauces. I really wished I would have paid closer attention to the names or even the descriptions, but like usual I didn't. Cool thing is they give you some pork rinds to taste test them. All the sauces were good except for the mustard based one, but I didn't dock them because I hate mustard. The one that was best is the horseradish based one, if I recall it is white. In addition to that they have a dipping sauce that has dill in it that was amazing too. We loved this place, and will be back when in the area. If there is any improvement I would suggest is to maybe add some sour beer options to their bar. read more

I wish I took photos but just forgot because I was so overwhelmed by how good the food was. I took one bite and couldn't put it down. This may have been the best meat sweat factory I've ever been too and I would recommend to any one going through Duluth to stop here ! read more

I had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the mixed greens salad for my side. The salad was delicious! It had cran-raisins and sunflower seeds. The pork was lukewarm so I asked the server about it and she said that the Cole slaw is cold and cools down the pork. Our server Stephanie was great. read more

Oink, moo, cluck. F'ing amazing. We had the meats. Duh. Loved everything we had. BBQ sauces were AMAZING. We bought a jar to go home with. The waitress was very patient and was super great dealing with us and elderly parents. I don't remember everything we tried but I do remember loving all of it. read more

I'll give OMC credit for their food. Almost everything was super flavorful and tender. I had brisket, ribs, and beans and my friend had the OMC plate. The brisket was tender and very tasty but SO fatty. It actually really upset my stomach and I tried to pick off all of the fat. I was kind of disappointed because I paid for 8oz of brisket and really got 4oz of brisket and 4oz of fat. The ribs were tender and flavorful, however mine came out cold. My friend said the chicken was dry, but flavorful. Beans were great, sauces were amazing, and service was great. I would go back, although it is pricy!! read more

Amazing BBQ dinner after a long Friday drive up to Duluth from the cities. We called ahead to ensure there was space in the outdoor area and arrived around 8pm and had no wait. Bring a jacket! It can get chilly right by the lake. We were greeted by delicious freshly made pork rinds. The drink selection is excellent, and appears to be expanded in the partnership with the bar next door. The sangria is strong and tasty! The Smoked OMC plate with the addition of pulled pork, with cheesy jalapeno grits and bacon potato salad was perfect for two people. Our server was excellent! She was speedy, attentive, friendly, and kind. Can't wait to come back the next time we are in Duluth! read more

Luke was our server and he was awesome! There are 4 sauces and they give you pork rinds to sample them. Each sauce was so good! Try them all even if you aren't sure, you will be surprised.

Open at 3 and have indoor/ outdoor seating or you can sit at the bar. read more

Open for pickup and delivery during the pandemic. I walked into the empty restaurant (sad) and could smell the smokehouse goodness (happy). Our sandwiches were wonderfully smoky and delicious. No skimping on quantity or quality of the meat portions! They even remembered to ask us if we need utensils (which I had totally forgotten about for the sides). read more

My husband and I ordered Tito's drinks, one with soda water and the other with soda water and a splash of cranberry. When we got our bill the drinks were charge the price for Tito's ($7 or $9 I can't remember) and then an extra $1 for soda water on my husband's drink and and extra $1 for soda water AND and extra $1 for a splash of cranberry! I have never in my life been charged for a mixer on a basic drink. We were also not impressed with the food, way over priced for nothing special. read more

This family of restaurants including the Duluth Grill have set a high bar. OMC smokehouse is excellent. As you walk up, you will see the smoke and smell the meats. You will also see some ingredients growing in the raised gardens around the restaurant. Inside is great. Airy, light and cool animal themed art on the walls. Cozy setting to devour all of the meats. Service was perfect. Friendly, knowledgeable and our server spoke as if it were her restaurant, which made it feel like family. It was cool. As for the food. Oh man, the food. As you will see, I didn't get many pics, because it all got devoured quickly. You will be served a plate of homemade pork rinds as you are seated which serve as excellent sauce deliver devices. They have 4 house-made sauces, all of which added just the right flavors to the meal. Beef fat fries are thick cut, skin-on and super flavorful. Brisket / Cheddar Sandwich was de-lish!!!! Crispy, caramelized edges to the super Smokey, sweet meat. Potato salad was good. Bacon blu cheese. It was a lil 'dry' but some added sauce made it much better. Chicken was so juicy and Smokey. Cooked to perfection. Ribs were meaty, not fatty. Smokey, salty and easily fell from the bone. Mac and cheese was good. Needed a lil salt and sauce to make it great though. The girls got salads and said they were amazing. Now, if you are vegan it wouldn't make sense coming to a smokehouse, would it? Well we had a vegan guest with us and she had multiple options from a meatless sloppy joe sandwich to an impossible burger. I'm excited to come back and eat more Smokey meat! read more

This place was ... good not great? While the food was good, the portions were so small! When asking our waiter if the two sides we picked to go with our brisket would be enough for two people she assured us they were. The corn bread was two tiny pieces (almost bite size) and the mac and cheese was in a bowl the size of a salsa bowl. We left ... hungry? Idk, it was good but we wouldn't make a trip back. read more

Service was fabulous and food was great! The only knock on them keeping them from 5 stars was the appetizer. We got their 4 house sauces with chicharrones to start(nice snack and nice sauces. We followed this up with the slightly disappointing jalapeño poppers, $10 for two jalapeños cut in half and stuffed with leftover brisket bits and cheese is a little ridiculously priced. My wife had brisket with pancetta and peas, and blue cheese potato salad (blue cheese wasn't noticeable, but salad was still good), I had the Tennessee Hot chicken with jalapeño cheddar grits(best grits I have had) and the chicken wasn't as hot as I was expecting Tennesee Hot to be, but it was pretty hot and exceptionally tasty! We both would be happy to return! read more

Listed as one of the top places in Duluth so decided to try this on a Friday night. Service was great. Environment is casual dining. They start your table with good pork rinds. Nachos were the best! Mix of sweet and very mildly spicy candied jalapenos. Brisket plate had quality meat and not too fatty. Peas were no good. Sweet potatoes were very light and sweet, very delicious. Also chicken tender sandwich had more breading than chicken doused in honey mustard. Mac n cheese mostly bland cream and flavorless, not baked. Overall would recommend for nachos and brisket. read more
