Their take out clam chowder and carrot cake
Was a great next day treat.
We stopped in and were blown away by how good everything was. My wife had the pulled pork baked potato, and she said it was amazing — the pork was tender and moist, not just dry meat covered in sauce. You can tell they take real pride in doing it right.
I had the beef brisket panini, and honestly, it was probably the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Perfectly smoked, full of flavor, and melt-in-your-mouth good.
We’re already planning to come back soon to try their salmon chowder — if it’s anything like what we’ve had so far, it’ll be incredible.
Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great BBQ and smoked meats.

My only complaint would be having to decide what I'm going to order. Sometimes I order a few items and take the rest home for later.
Though there are many hearty options like footlong hotdogs, pulled pork or brisket loaded baked potatoes, mac and cheese, nachos, and chili in THE BEST bread bowls, there ARE lighter options that stand on their own like salads and a made from scratch salmon chowder. While their grilled chicken is a great seafood substitute this summer I've been living on the Westport tuna salad and have them throw on some pulled pork in place of the tuna. Epic. They're always willing to accommodate.
The portions are huge, big bang for your buck.
As I mentioned, I don't care for seafood, but have personally overheard the following compliments to the chef:
"I have had chowder all across the US and I can tell you, without competition, this is hands down the best chowder I have EVER had." And "I live for a well done tuna melt and pride myself on making one of the best and this tuna melt has mine beat."
OH!! And don't forget the sweet treats! You might miss them if you don't go up to the register. Big fat cookies and sometimes peanut butter fudge I can't stop thinking about.
Some people think the best local carrot cake comes from Centralia and I say, those people haven't had the carrot cake at the smokehouse!! Life changing. To die for. Need it.
Man I should start taking photos of food for yall.
Go. Just go. Go often. Try it all. Extra stars for Danielle and flamingo Fridays.
pleasantries on the way to the restroom offered aroma
sprays, essential oils, soaps and candles ... and other fun delights!! The restroom was very clean also. The meals arrived was fast. I will be returning for sure! Already telling family about it!!
5 Stars from me!
And anything else but for sure the Smoked Salmon Chiwder
The Mac-n- cheese is also so amazing! Has a really good smoke flavor, perfectly balanced to perfection.
Everything that I have tried has been consistently delicious each visit.
I absolutely love the atmosphere here!
The artisan market is also a great source for local items. Great for things to take home to enjoy later, or shop for gifts to share a taste of the best Lewis county has to offer.
I also recommend the smoked Gouda; it was done just right.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and comfortable. We had an outstanding experience at Northwest Salmon Smokehouse.
We will be back!
