Low-and-slow. Wood-fired. Made the old way — because your taste buds deserve nothing less.
At Summit Smokehouse, we don't rush the process. Every cut of meat gets the full treatment — slow-smoked over real hardwood for hours until it reaches that perfect balance of tenderness, flavor, and that unmistakable bark.
Located right here in Placer County, we've built our reputation one brisket at a time. No shortcuts. No gas. Just patience, quality ingredients, and a whole lot of love for the craft.
Every item is smoked to perfection. What you see is what you get — honest food, honest flavors.
Our famous Texas-style brisket, smoked for 14 hours over oak. Tender, juicy, with a dark bark that cracks open to reveal the perfect smoke ring.
St. Louis-cut pork ribs, dry-rubbed and smoked low and slow. Finished with our signature glaze that caramelizes into a sticky, smoky crust.
Pork shoulder smoked for 12 hours until it shreds apart at the touch. Tossed in our tangy house sauce or served plain so the smoke flavor shines.
House-made beef and pork sausage links, smoked over hickory until the casing snaps and the inside stays juicy. A smoker's favorite.
Whole chicken smoked low and slow until the skin is crackly and the meat is impossibly moist. Half or whole bird available.
Creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, smoky baked beans, buttery corn on the cob, and our famous jalapeño cornbread. The perfect companions.
From the moment you walk in, the smell of wood smoke pulls you in. Here's what makes us different.
Real hickory and oak smoke drifting through the air. You'll know we're open before you even see the sign.
Casual, warm, and welcoming. Come as you are — whether it's a quick lunch or a family Sunday dinner.
Locals, families, and folks who've driven in from everywhere just for our brisket. That's how you know it's good.
Word of mouth has built us. No ads, no gimmicks — just people telling their friends about the best BBQ in town.
We'd love to hear from you. Call, visit, or send us a message — we're always happy to chat about BBQ.
