Super fast but delicious drive-thru bbq. I have yet to be disappointed by this place and the workers are always super sweet. You can also eat outside and relax or play some yard games in their beautiful outdoor area.
The food here, there are no words for it, it is THAT good. Mac and cheese balls, loaded fries and the brisket topped Mac and cheese and worth every calorie in every bite. The atmosphere is ever changing. They have used nature and clever uses for otherwise discarded things give you plenty to look at, while waiting for one of their super nice girls take your order from your car, and by the time your transaction is complete, here comes a nice gentleman with your food. You can eat in or at any one of their out buildings, feel nostalgic and eat by the Airstream, or even plan a little quaint wedding at their outdoor small wedding venue where your guest can eat delicious BBQ! Sadly, we can only enjoy Lakeshore BBQ in the summer, by the end of October they are closed. It is definitely worth the little drive up M-25.

Great food. Very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommendParking: This place is a drive up and order. They bring it to your car. But we were on motorcycles. Not a problem. They let us walk up and order. Then there was plenty of seating around back.

My food was delicious. I got the pulled pork reuben style sandwich. My husband's was not so good and the mac and cheese was so fake tasting.They also ask for a tip for a drive thru... which seemed a little odd to me. It is a food truck type of establishment, but you stay in your car. I don't know... it was quirky.They do have some really interesting grounds right there. Not sure if those are owned by the smokehouse or not. There is a playground and a couple of picnic tables to eat at.

It's a drive through pick up restaurant for now. The service was very quick. The place is adorable. You pick up your dinner at a drive-through line and sit wherever you want on the promise to eat it.Parking: Park wherever you want to eat on the premise.

I wanted to give the food a zero but wasn't able to!Not sure if they are under new ownership!We drove 1hr &1/2 as we always do because it's well worth it!Sunday the 16th of July was the worse experience with Lakeshore S.HThe young lady that took our order was awesome? they discontinued a few favorites from the menu that's fine.No long wait (awesome)This is why I wanted to give zero star'sI ordered the brisket ruben ,something different. We always eat there because of the beautiful scenery.Half of my sandwich was good alittle fat on the meat which is expected.I wanted to share the other half with my husband and to my surprise it was all fat like no way!! $14 for this??So my husband took the half of sandwich to the stand and instead of them replacing the half of sandwich they gave him a small cup of brisket .At that point I was irritatedLong drive ,$50 we spent on food ,nope wasn't worth it!I will go to the Barbque stand that is located on old Van Dyke with the Big Cow out front.At least I can get more of a variety.Sorry for the review.Hopefully making your customers want to return even if there is a honest mistake.Small corrections can go along way.

This place is really hard to describe. It's a drive through only right now because they are short staffed. Once you get your food you can drive through the property and sit at the different arranged seating houses. They have an old fashioned farm house to sit in a swinging seat at the bar and many more. Great stop in the way through or if you're staying at one of the nearby state parks.

Great BBQ. Stopped in and got a pulled pork sandwich and a Piggy Mac Melt. They were so good. The Piggy Mac Melt had delicious mac and cheese over pulled pork on a toasted brioche bun. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely love this little roadside BBQ Smokehouse! The food is bomb ?, and the atmosphere is a truly unique experience.The drive through is huge, likely due to the popularity of the food, and the property has LOTS of unique areas to sit and eat, for the kids to play or just unwind.Mac n cheese which was rich, creamy and cheesy and a great choice for kids.The pulled pork sandwich was amazing, pulled pork was tender and flavourful, but ask for an extra BBQ sauce, it's a big sandwich and they only give you one BBQ sauce on the side and no sauce on the pulled pork.The brisket Rueben Sandwich was awesome, brisket was flavourful and fall-apart tender.Would definitely come back, and if you're in the area it's a must try.
10/10 ? ? ??We came to Lakeshore Smokehouse with about 35 young people for an event dinner. Vicky and her staff did an incredible job! The food was hot, delicious, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was so fun, unique and stunningly landscaped. Our group couldn’t recommend Lakeshore Smokehouse more ❤️Kid-friendliness: Our 35 high school students LOVED the yard! Artistic vignettes are staged throughout allowing for lots of wandering & discovery!Parking: Parking was not an issue for our 45 foot long limousine bus!Dietary restrictions: Because we are a group we of course had a few dietary restrictions. All we had to do was ask! Everyone stayed safe and the response was quick.

A lovely little gem. Whether you're a local, heading through on a day trip, or passing through on the great haul up north, stop in and get some amazing barbecue. The pulled pork sandwich and the piggy mac are absolutely incredible. Friendly staff makes it a breeze!
