Smoak BBQ Grill

Smoak BBQ Grill, tucked into the heart of downtown Tunkhannock at 45 E Tioga Street, delivers authentic Pennsylvania barbecue with a modern twist. The menu centers on slow‑smoked brisket and pork, seasoned with the house rub and cooked over a blend of mesquite and post‑oak wood until the meat is fall‑apart tender. Signature items include the $9.75 smash burger, a juicy patty of freshly ground chuck and brisket served on a buttery toasted bun with a selection of house‑made toppings, and the smoked chicken gumbo, a hearty bowl of smoky chicken, Andouille sausage, Argentinian shrimp, brown rice and quinoa that captures Southern comfort. Guests can also savor the smoked wings, charred to a crisp finish and tossed in one of the restaurant’s signature sauces. All ingredients are sourced locally when possible; microgreens are harvested daily to add freshness to every plate. The interior blends reclaimed wood tables with industrial lighting, creating a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere that feels both rustic and contemporary. Open daily for lunch and dinner, the grill offers a price range from $8 for a wing to $20 for a full platter. You can place orders online through their ToastTab portal, and gift cards are available for any occasion. The walls showcase vintage barbecue memorabilia, and the staff, led by pitmaster Lyle Lovett, are passionate about delivering smoky perfection.

With a 4‑star rating on Google and a commitment to all‑natural ingredients, Smoak BBQ Grill stands out as the go‑to spot for smoked delights in the Pocono region.
