About Smoke On the Water

Smoke On the Water is a charming restaurant known for its delightful breakfast experience. Renowned for its delicious sour cream pancakes, breakfast sandwich, and hash browns, the restaurant also features a unique Red Hot Griff hot sauce that even non-hot sauce fans enjoy. The menu includes locally gathered produce, cider, and maple syrup, rounding out the offerings nicely. The smoked items are a specialty, and breakfast will not disappoint, especially with popular choices like the smoked brisket hash and BBQ sauce. The service is great, and the homemade bread is also noteworthy. Portions are large, and the charming home setting enhances the dining experience.

Customers praise the restaurant for its flavorful and well-executed dishes, such as the goat cheese omelette, caramelized onion omelette, biscuits and gravy, and brisket eggs Benedict. The lemon curd pancakes and French toast are also highly regarded, though considered a bit pricier. The restaurant is known for its cozy and eclectic atmosphere, with a focus on dining experience over fast food. Customers recommend the bacon jam omelette and brisket hash as standout menu items.

The smells, service, and especially the food were a top tier experience as someone who walked around town as a visitor looking for some great breakfast! The lemon curd pancake especially was delicious. Friendly staff topped off the whole thing! I can’t wait to try the BBQ some other time. Thanks all!

My (now!) husband and I ate here on the morning of our wedding for a last private moment together. I got the pulled pork hash and he had the biscuits and gravy. The gravy was some of the best we’d ever had- and we love breakfast food! The pork was so tender and smoked to perfection, and I loved their BBQ sauce. The environment is great- truly on the water- and makes for a fun way to spend a brunch.

Every place we go, we support local local local.
This cozy quaint restaurant is fantastic. Exceptional service, delicious food, and an owner who goes out of the way to say hello. Hard to find biscuits and gravy as good as mine and this one was WAY CLOSE! So good…
The lemon curd pancakes were amazing, the sausage patties for us, were amazing and better than the links. They seriously are a must stop at when up north in Charlevoix
