Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

excellent food, lovely owners, charming location, in an interesting pennsylvania small town. well worth the visit.

Very good location, close to Ricketts Glen State Park. We stopped there on our way to the park. Chicken thigh is good! Others are average.

This place is awesome! The double smoked chicken is great but their pulled pork on ciabata is good too.

Really good BBQ! Sides were just as good. The owners were really nice. Service was prompt and with a smile.

Ordered a ham loaf and bacon to take home while visiting family (family recommended the place). The meats were delicious! Had a great smoked flavor and the portion size of the ham loaf fed us for two days. Have not gotten to eat /​dine in yet, but if the bacon and ham loaf are any indication of the quality of food… I can’t wait! Prices were reasonable for what I purchased to take home.

I’ve eaten BBQ all around the country and always enjoy seeing new joints open up. Benton is a much happier place with the relatively new addition of the Smokehouse BBQ restaurant. I don’t know much about the restaurant, but understand that it recently graduated from a BBQ cart to a formal restaurant. My family ate there for the first time yesterday and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the BBQ. They serve exactly what you would expect: pulled pork, chicken, brisket, beans, Mac and cheese, potato salad, coleslaw, etc… and a few nice surprises: Horseradish pickles (very yummy, but hiding a real kick) and barbequed ham sandwich… that was a first.
All the meats were expertly smoked. The smoked chicken was stellar; pulled pork was very good and the BBQ ham was surprisingly tasty. This was all done semi-​Texas style… meaning it wasn’t drenched in sauce. Served bare and you add as much sauce as you like. The sides were all pretty good.
For Benton this is a real winner!!! Enjoy
