We placed our order online for pickup at 6:30 - a little over an hour later. Everything seemed fine. The guys at Port City called a few minutes later and explained that the website was wrong and they actually closed at 6. Did we want the order early or cancelled? We're so glad we picked it up early! I had the brisket meal with beans and cole slaw. My sister had the brisket sandwich. We both got extra horsey sauce. That sauce is my new favorite! I want to put it on everything!! The mean was tender and juicy but the horsey just sent it over the top. Well done, Port City!

This was our first visit to the store. It is on the northwest corner of the lower peninsula of…read moreMichigan. It's a very busy store with a lot of Customer traffic. This store is not just a fish processing, smokehouse and serves takeout dinners which I did not try yet. There are plenty of workers and service was quick. There is no place to sit and eat. It is all takeout. We were here on a Friday morning of Labor Day weekend. A very busy time in Michigan's vacation land. There is plenty of parking in a lot adjacent to the store and on the street but watch out for the crazy bike drivers who think they own the road one of the old guys nearly ran me over because he thought he owned the road or maybe he didn't know how to drive a bicycle. Just the word of caution. Will I return? Yes, because it's the only fish, fresh fish, store within 50 or 60 miles of Frankfort. I compare fish processing outlets, to a business just outside Mackinaw city named Big Stone Bay Fishery. We were not in looking for a place to eat just for some fresh fish, and some smoked fish. I think that Big Stone Bay Fishery accommodates the customer better. for instance, they freely provide the customer with ice for the trip back home to the Detroit area.

And Charlie's Smokehouse is just one of those must stop places on any of our trips to Door County. Smoked trout, whitefish and salmon have all been consumed throughout the years and they are all delicious. But overall it is about our tradition of getting fish, driving the iconic crooked road and finding a new location to enjoy the fish with saltines and a beer. Life is simple and tasty and good.

We picked up a couple of smoked Atlantic salmon fillets (currently $14.49/lb) on this visit. They also now sell smoked shrimp for $18.99/lb, and that's new since our last visit (albeit 4 years ago). Jill was on duty and she is the daughter-in-law of Charlie. She said her son is being groomed to be the 4th generation to run this renowned family business and that's great to hear. Big thumbs up, best wishes, and keep up the great work!

Unfortunately, when we went, it was dark and appeared to be closed. We also had a really difficult time finding clear, up-to-date information online about their hours, so we honestly weren't sure what happened. I don't want to leave a negative review about the food or service because we never actually made it inside, but it was frustrating to plan on stopping here and not be able to figure out whether they were open. We were really looking forward to it, so hopefully we'll have better luck next time!
