OMC Smokehouse

"Absolutely delicious! You can tell that a lot of work went into every dish! Try the grits, and don't worry about the jalapeños being too spicy. The way they are pickled tames the heat down. The chicken was excellent, tender, and juicy. The white Alabama BBQ sauce is the best!"

"Jack, our server, was awesome. They did great explaining the sauces and recommending certain items. Made my drink perfectly which is awesome since it was their first time. Food was super quick and delicious. We pick up here all the time for DoorDash and it always smells amazing so we finally had to try it. No regrets! Thank you for providing awesome food on one of our rare date days."

"Loved the atmosphere, it has the Aspen bar vibe. The service was great and very attentive. The jalopeno brisket bomb was very good. OMC smoked wings were a bit dry for our liking. Korean BBQ pork belly sandwich was also flavorful."

"First time checking out OMC. I was heading back from the fall colors & North Shore, so I ordered takeout to eat at the Thompson Hill scenic overlook. The restaurant is located in an up-and-coming neighborhood in Duluth on West Superior Street. It’s part of the Lincoln Park Craft District and near Bent Paddle Brewery. With Lake Ave and the Arial Lift Bridge area getting crazy packed this new/old area is a great option for food or drinks off HWY 35. I ordered the half rack of St. Louis ribs ($20), good as I’ve had in Minnesota. Nice bark, seasoning and pulled off the bone with the right tenderness. Loved the variety and taste of their different sauces. I enjoyed the Chipotle Cilantro, Bent Paddle Carolina-style mustard-based sauce and Alabama White, tangy sauce with light horseradish flavor. Went for a side of Mac & Cheese and Coleslaw. Both were good with the ribs. Missed out on the pork rinds, so will have to stop in again. BTW: It was packed on a nice Sunday at noon in mid Oct. So, plan ahead. My food did come out fast after ordering."

"Delightful Sauces Sitting down to a platter of crispy fried pork skins accompanied by four exceptional sauces was a novel experience for me. Choosing a favorite proved to be quite the challenge, given how delectable they all were. We opted for the brisket haystack and the classic pulled pork, served with creamy white grits, double cheese, and thinly sliced jalapeños, as well as the blue cheese potato salad. To our delight, they lived up to our expectations. Both the pork and brisket boasted remarkable flavors. It's not every day you find well-prepared grits in the Midwest, so I couldn't resist indulging in them. They were cooked to perfection. Our child savored a side dish of homemade mac & cheese, which he adored. It was so rich that he couldn't finish the entire portion. It's worth noting that they do add on additional charges here, such as a 5% fee for the kitchen staff and a card surcharge. However, the service was exceptional, and we didn't have to wait for a table, even around 3 pm on a holiday weekend. All in all, it proved to be an excellent choice for sampling Midwest BBQ while passing through Duluth."
