Dining: You’ve gotta love a place where you can toss your peanut shells on the floor. If that were all the Steamboat Smokehouse had to recommend, this article would end here, but besides its informal ambiance, the Smokehouse has great barbeque!

Ambiance is a large part of the Smokehouse appeal. You know a place is comfortably informal when a small plaque attached to your table warns: “Caution Table Dancers: Capacity Limited to 472 Pounds.” Elk and Mule deer heads line the hand-fitted stone walls and the bar has its own gag specials from Mr. And Mrs. Jackalope to a box of “Road Kill Helper” by Betty Trucker. The brave of heart and lame of brain might try the Smokehouse’s “Firewater” – well-named since it features a premier tequila soaked in jalepenos and red peppers for four days. Bring an extinguisher.

All this rowdy pretense shouldn’t deter families from the Smokehouse – it’s all in good humor and the place is pussy-cat tame – at least during restaurant hours. Kids love it! The Smokehouse also caters and ask about whole smoked turkeys, hams and brisket which they will deliver. Master Card and Visa accepted.
