I love food trucks and this place is the BEST EXAMPLE!!! Family owned cooking family recipes! This southern couple has made a home here in Ironwood and their food is top notch! The menu options will satisfy anyone looking for a meal! I ordered the sampler and it was a HUGE portion! I've eaten Collard Greens all over the country and THESE ARE THE BEST! Baby Back Ribs were meaty and delicious and the brisket was moist and flavorful. There isn't one thing I would change about this meal! If you're anywhere near this area, you ABSOLUTELY NEED TO STOP HERE, you definitely won't be disappointed!! read more

UP-N-Smoke BBQ - Food Trucks Near Me - Ironwood, Michigan

Visiting from Chicago and the group had 7 different meals. Mine was a pulled pork sandwich with Napa apple slaw. Best pulled pork sandwich ever and Im a nationwide DDD fan! The slaw, bbq sauce put it over the top. Corn bread with cinnamon butter was great. Collard greens were a bit bland. Service was great. Plenty of seating outside in common areas. Topped it off with some mini donuts at an adjacent food truck called MoosDonuts. Also excellent. read more

Get there early- this place is popular! The food is great. Sides are awesome. Sweet tea is the real deal.

Amazing everything. The food was great, atmosphere, and the service. Even the portopotty was clean

So happy to have found this as our first meal after a weekend of camping. We had just finished a hike and was ravenous. This is a staple food truck. Everyone is our group was very happy with their meal my fave was what I order brisket grilled cheese sandwich was flames! The carmelized onions were a nice touch I didn't even know was needed and cheese wasn't overpowering. Fries were also delish. Knocked it down a start as the fried green tomatoes was disappointing and same with Mac and cheese. If you order cornbread don't forget to buy side of rum honey butter read more

Traditional bbq with a large selection of sides. The burnt ends, pulled pork, pulled pork and sausage was amazing!! The spicy bbq sauce was not overly spicy. Mac n cheese was really good and I am very judgmental when it comes to Mac n cheese. Highly recommend the watermelon lemonade! All outdoors as this is. Food truck. Great space to let kids run and some corn hole games. read more

Food was excellent! I have to say I was not expecting such a great meal from a food truck. It was amazing BBQ and their Cole slaw was out of this world. Stop by on your next trip to Ironwood. read more

This is hands down the best BBQ Truck in the UP! They cooked my Thanksgiving dinner and it was delicious! Perfect for a single guy, I had the Pièce de résistance, three generous slices of the famous smoked brisket with sauce on the side, candied yams, and to top it off fresh out of the oven Georgia Peach Cobbler! Even better, no dishes! The to-go container came with napkins and a fork. What more could you ask for? A delicious BBQ meal with fixings, cooked to perfection and no dishes to clean! Win-win! read more

Food was delicious and service was friendly. The Mac and cheese with pulled pork was so good and the fresh squeezed lemonade was spot on. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

This is an absolutely old school BBQ company that is a shock given the location. I'm not trying to disrespect Ironwood, I'm simply saying that it is about the last town I would ever expected to see an old school BBQ place thrive. This couple works hard and puts up product that would make anybody proud and their equipment, cleanliness, attitude, and whole vibe of the deal is so super cool, that I can't possibly commit the words to just defy my compliment read more

Very nice! We were travelling on a road trip and looked up restaurants on Yelp and found this place. We had the ribs and catfish. Everything was really tasty and the sides were excellent. As good as any food truck in a major city! Staff was friendly and food was ready on time. Would definitely stop here again next time we're in the area. read more

Don't walk- RUN to UP-in-smoke. My partner and I were offered 10% off our meal for presenting a receipt from another Ironwood business. We had rode passed it earlier in the day and thought "what the hell?" It's easily, the best smokehouse barbecue I've had in years. The rub? We were amazed that the proprietors were able to infuse such amazing flavor into our baby back's and pulled pork. Something about the rub and the maintenance in the smoking process that make the meat not only crazy flavorful but also totally unique. Hickory? Yes, but that's not all. Love? Care? Pride? Hard to determine, but you're gonna be treated to some high quality smokeage. The house sauce is unique and delicious and complements the meat perfectly. What is BBQ without the sides? I copped the mac and cheese (southern in flavor and presentation) and badass collared greens. Get the cornbread with whipped honey butter. Service folks and owners were super personalable and friendly. The love their food and they love their customers. Must go if you are around Ironwood. read more

Idk what the deal was but I got quarter the amount of food my friend got at the fair. This place is not worth what they charge especially when they basically give you the crumbs that are left instead of a full portion. I won't go there again. read more

Fantastic BBQ! Greens, beans, brisket, pulled pork are all top notch. It is the best I've had in a long time.

Great food and value! Everything there is hot and awesome. Get this food, then go to the Coldiron brewery.

great quility meat .awesome owners .the service is awesome so friendly and kind.you will love being here .satisfying.

We stopped on our way back home from a long road trip. We were there just before opening and everyone was very welcoming and friendly. The menu offerings were extensive and the gal taking our order was quick to offer recommendations. We ordered a three meat platter, ribs, brisket and pulled pork. It was all very good! The coleslaw and beans were also excellent! We ended up taking the food down the street to the Cold Iron brewery (which I'd also recommend) but the seating was very nice with shade options and outdoor games. Highly recommend!l read more

Stopped here after a day at the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park, and the food was just what we needed. We enjoyed the music and vibes playing cornhole while our food was prepared. Highly recommended! read more

Holy smokes, there's BBQ in Ironwood! And not just any BBQ - serious, deep, rich, perfect BBQ. As good as it gets BBQ. ALWAYS get the pork ribs. Get the rib tips. Get the beef spare ribs. Get a chicken with the peach sauce. And then get it with all the sides that come with Southern style: rib-sticking Mac n cheese, fresh biscuits, an awesome apple slaw, try the fried green tomatoes with the remoulade that will make you fall in love, and GET THE COLLARD GREENS. Greens you say? Yes, these collards are insane. Vegetarian they are not by any measure, these will convince you they are the best and only way to get your veggies in. Be sure to order ahead, and say hello: these folks are the sweetest, most appreciative I've met in quite a while. And enjoy, you will be blown away by how good their food is! read more

They catered our 4th of July party and it was incredible. We had ribs, smoked sausages, potatoes salad, cornbread and coleslaw. Everything was cooked to perfection and the best bbq I've had in a long time. The owner and his wife made everything so easy for our party. You will not be disappointed. Delish!!! read more
