OMC Smokehouse

The Smoked OMC Plate, catfish, coleslaw, jalapeño grits, mac and cheese and drinks were all delicious! Possibly the best ribs we've ever had. Kileigh was a friendly, wonderful, attentive server. Will definitely return!

Love the Smokey flavor for the meat, we got the OMC plates with beef brisket, ribs and chicken. All good flavors. The Korean pork belly was way too spicy. The chicken sandwich was perfect. We also got the chicken wings and that was good, it was fun to try all the different BBQ sauces!

Pulled pork was solid. Brisket bark looked great but was way too salty. The horchata (which costs $8) comes in a rocks glass filled with ice, probably yielding less than 5oz of actual liquid. What a ripoff! Beans were pretty good. Coleslaw was terrible - watery and lacked any acidity. Vegan sloppy Joe was pretty alright, not bad but not great. Good option for vegetarians.

This place is a bit pricey, but the food and service were both good. The BBQ is not the traditional overly sweet BBQ that I have been used to at BBQ places, which I really liked. They bring out pork rinds for you to try their sauces on before you order. We ordered a bowl of fries for the table. Again, they are different from other restaurants as the fries are a bit soft, but again it tastes good. I ordered their burrito bowl. Overall I enjoyed it, but for $5 extra for brisket, I expected a bit more meat then it came out with. Some variety to texture would have been nice too. My son ordered the judges plate which he enjoyed and my husband ordered the sampler which was also good. My biggest complaint is that for the amount your charged they skimp on the meat using the fries and sides to make up for it, at a restaurant that's all about the meat and charges you for it, I would just expect more of it in their dishes. Also, we were not offered refills on our drinks until we were basically done eating, so yes, technically the lemonade is "bottomless," but if the server never comes around to check on your drinks it might as well be a single serving. Again, none of these are big complaints, but for the prices (it was a little over $200 for 4 adults and 2 kids none of us drinking alcohol), I have higher expectations.

OMC Smokehouse was highly recommended to us by a friend while we were in Duluth for a weekend get away & it did not disappoint. Very busy atmosphere (we had to sit at the bar & as non-drinkers it was a bit inconvenient but fun to watch the bartender making beautiful drinks), it's small space, but service was wonderful & the food was the best Smokehouse food my husband & I have evet had. We will definitely be back during future trips. Also, their outdoor patio looks so peaceful, it was to cold for us to sit outside, but I bet it's a great atmosphere in the summer & fall months. Highly recommend brisket burger & the candied sweet potatoes were soooo soooo yummy (I hate sweet potatoes).
