Lakefront Smokehouse was built on a simple idea: great barbecue takes time. Located in Zion, Illinois, we serve authentic BBQ.

 

Every brisket, rack of ribs, chicken, and smoked specialty is cooked low and slow to develop deep flavor and tender texture. Our menu pairs these classic barbecue meats, sides and comfort food favorites designed to complete the smokehouse experience.

 

No matter where you're visiting from, Lakefront Smokehouse is a place to enjoy real barbecue made with patience, pride, and respect for the craft.

 We honor making good BBQ. Every Brisket is trimmed by hand, every rack of ribs carefully watched and every slice served with pride.

 

While our foundation is tradional barbecue, our menu also reflects our creativity in the kitchen, blending classic smokehouse flavors with bold fusion dishes that bring new ideas to the table.

Lakefront Smokehouse is rooted in community.

 

We are proud to serve, Zion, Waukegan, Great Lakes, Lake and Kenosha Counties with barbecue that brings people together.
