Smokehouse on Main

Located on Main Street in the heart of Old Town Newhall, Smokehouse on Main brings authentic Southern barbecue to Southern California. The restaurant’s casual‑upscale interior features reclaimed wood tables, exposed brick walls, and neon signage that evokes a modern smokehouse vibe. Guests can watch the slow‑smoked meats glide over the custom wood‑fired pit, where the secret Southern Smoke spice blend infuses each cut with deep, smoky flavor. Signature items include the melt‑in‑your‑mouth brisket, seasoned with a pepper‑brown sugar rub and finished with a house‑made peach habanero glaze; baby‑back ribs that are fall‑off‑the‑bone tender and served with a tangy barbecue sauce; and the inventive PB&J brisket burger, a juicy patty layered with smoked brisket, creamy peanut butter, and sweet strawberry jam for a nostalgic twist. Side selections such as creamy potato salad, coleslaw with a citrus kick, and baked beans with smoked bacon round out the menu. The bar offers 30 rotating craft beers on tap, from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts, perfect companions for the rich meats. Smokehouse on Main also provides catering for groups of any size, requiring a minimum 1‑3 day notice to customize platters of brisket, ribs, and sides. Open daily from 11 am, the kitchen stays open late on weekdays, serving brunch on Sundays starting at 9 am. Friendly staff, free Wi‑Fi, and a family‑friendly atmosphere make it an ideal spot for casual lunches, weekend gatherings, or a hearty dinner after exploring nearby shopping districts and the historic Newhall Metrolink station.
