Black Powder Smokehouse

Nestled on South Fayetteville Street in the heart of downtown Asheboro, North Carolina, Black Powder Smokehouse delivers authentic, low‑and‑slow barbecue that honors the Triad’s rich heritage. The smokehouse’s award‑winning brisket, smoked for up to 14 hours, falls apart on the fork, while the fall‑off‑the‑bone ribs are glazed with a tangy house‑made sauce that balances sweet and smoky notes. Complementing the meats are scratch‑made sides such as creamy mac & cheese, coleslaw tossed in a vinegar‑kissed dressing, and baked beans simmered with smoked bacon. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables, exposed brick, and vintage signage, creating a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere where the scent of hickory wood greets every guest. Patrons can order online for quick pickup or delivery, and the venue also offers full‑service catering for weddings, corporate events, and private parties, featuring custom meat platters and side stations. Open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., the smokehouse welcomes locals and travelers alike, inviting them to experience the community‑driven hospitality that begins with a friendly “hello” at the counter and ends with a heartfelt “thank you.” With a modest price range of $10‑$25 per entrée, Black Powder Smokehouse stands as a must‑visit stop for anyone seeking genuine North Carolina barbecue in a setting that feels both historic and contemporary.
