what our customers are saying
Definitely give this place a try. The owner was also very informative, and helpful. We will definitely be back!
This place made the best mac n cheese I've ever had, I added the pulled pork to mine. Thankyou for the awesome experience and friendly energy! I will be back! Big shout out to Frank for taking good care of me. You rock! See you again soon!
We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who handcrafts most of what you see there with his own two hands — you can truly taste the care and craftsmanship. Local smoked wild salmon, fresh clam chowder, tender brisket and pulled pork A must-try spot in this charming old-fashioned little town existing in a modern world.
I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this food tastes. We’ve been here about 5 times now, and we have never been disappointed. It is officially our favorite "slice of yumminess!"
The highlights (that actually lasted long enough for a photo):
🐟 The Fish Tater (A total must-try!)
🧀 Loaded Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork
🥪 Pulled Pork Panini
We had a few other things that were equally incredible, but we ate them too fast to take pictures! 😅
What makes this place truly special is the wonderful couple that owns it. They do all the cooking and baking themselves, and they treat you like old friends the moment you walk through the door.
You seriously have to give this place a try—you will not regret it!

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.

The food is incredible! Service was amazing, we will definitely be making the drive and come back
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very warm and comfortable. We had an outstanding experience at Northwest Salmon Smokehouse.
We stopped by Centralia for lunch on the way to Portland. It's a beautiful historical little town. The restaurant has that old dinner kind of charm, with dining area at one side and local products are the other side.
We ordered pulled pork sandwich, fish sandwich and smoke salmon chowder. The food is surprisingly good.
Pulled pork is very tender, moisture and balanced flavor. We had lots of pulled pork before and this definitely rated one of the best ones. We asked the staff if it's dry rub or wet marinated. He explained to us in detail that how they dry rub and smoke the meat for 6 hours, then put it in the beef broth for four hours, then slow cook it until it's very tender. The whole process takes more than 12 hours. From the way he described it. You can tell he's very passionate about what he's doing. That's very impressive.
The fish sandwich is delicious and well executed. Lots of tuna, smoke salmon, well seasoned and balanced. Panini bread is grilled crispynamd provided isolation of moisture. Not soggy at all all the way to the end. Very satisfying fish to bread ratio. They definitely put thoughts into this dish.
Smoke salmon chowder is good comfort food. Big chunky smoke salmon and potatoes in the thick chowder. Flavor is well balanced. You can taste a little sweetness combined with salty smoke salmon. Quite satisfying in cold rainy day.
I took their recommendation of carrot cake, which I quite, "ranked second in the county". It does not disappoint. The texture is excellent, very moisture, dense and not falling apart. Right amount of sweetness. It does not use sugar icing. Instead it used cream with a little yogurt taste, which balance out the sweetness and dense texture of the cake itself. Excellent execution.
I will definitely visit them again, to try their brisket.
