Smoke On The Water Premium Mexican Barbecue

"We had a brisket sandwich and a pulled pork sandwich on Labor Day weekend - both were excellent! As a Texan, I have high standards for bbq and this did not disappoint! This is a great place to stop for lunch when visiting the dunes!"

"This was my first time here with my wife and family. The view was gorgeous and that is why we choose this place to eat. The staff was very friendly. The complaint we all had was how dry the meat was. The pulled chicken, chicken nachos and chicken quesadillas was very dry. We had to order extra cheese just to keep from gagging on the dry chicken. We are quite disappointed how much everything cost for the lousy food. We won’t ever be coming back to this place for food but for the view we will be back."

"The smoker welcomes you with the sights and smells of freshly smoked meats. The staff is friendly and the meals are delicious. Yes - alcoholic beverages are available. It is conveniently and gorgeously located in the Indiana Dunes National Park pavilion at the Portage Lakefront and Riverwalk."

"Smoke on the water is literally fire! So delicious and the best service. Had them for a broker open house today in St. John. My only complaint is that there weren’t more leftovers. Hire Mark. He won’t disappoint! Yum yum yum!!"

"Wow! Amazing BBQ choices. Smoke OTW came to our lakeside community on a Sunday afternoon (June/2022) offering Prime Black Angus Brisket on Texas toast, cherry smoked spare ribs, and steak fajitas on homemade tortillas. Could not decide so we ordered one of each, went back home and divided them on our deck dining table. Delicious and wanted more. Expectations were "smoked" on the water! Continued... Today (August 2022) we ventured over to Marina Shores (Portage) to snag some more of their amazing BBQ! Did I say "Wow!" in my first recommendation? I can tell you that if you don't add them, "SmokeOTW" to your bucket list, then you will cheat yourself of the Best! Wagyu brisket. Come on, Wagyu brisket out of this world. Pulled pork (Berkshire Farms) on Texas toast- bucket list now more than satisfied. Unfortunately summer is winding down., but I'll stand in line in the cold November rains and snow if they still come out to serve their loyal fans."
