Menu

The menu of Kinsmoke from Healdsburg contains about 100 different dishes and drinks. On average you pay about $16.4 for a dish / drink.

Nestled in Sonoma County, this BBQ restaurant offers a diverse menu that promises authentic flavors but delivers mixed results. While some patrons rave about the brisket, standout St. Louis ribs, and creative sides like smoked beet salad and drunken hush puppies, others express disappointment in portion sizes and food quality. Service appears uneven, with reports of hurried staff and a cluttered entrance detracting from the experience. Despite the lively atmosphere and high expectations, the overall consensus suggests that while there are highlights, the establishment may not consistently impress all diners, leaving some yearning for better BBQ elsewhere.

Great food and ambiance! The staff is always very friendly. While some of the dishes could use a bit of refinement, it’s overall a fantastic choice for a more relaxed meal in Healdsburg. View all feedback.

What Unique O'Conner dislikes about Kinsmoke:
We arrived about 7pm on a Wednesday with high expectations. The restaurant was busy both inside and outside and loud. The entrance isn't welcoming and was cluttered. OK, it's a BBQ joint and busy should be a good sign. We waited a good bit before our server came to our table. Ordering was quick and easy. Then, another long wait. I asked about our order. But, our server didn't know and sadly seemed uninterested. When... View all feedback.

The food was decent. The meats were good, but the side dishes were rather bland. The dishes could benefit from more seasoning and some added spice or heat.

The Sandwiches and the sauces are the bomb! I had the sweet potato taters as a side but it was too sweet with my Hula pulled pork, which was so good I had to take a nap later in the afternoon lol. Nice atmosphere right next to the town centre, lots of parking nearby, it was pretty busy for a Tuesday lunch so I'm assuming it is pretty popular. I am tempted to come back again during the afternoon because it looks like it could be pretty great during happy hour!

A really awesome spot. Food is amazing, staff were incredibly friendly and great at making recommendations. We had the 2x2 $33 for 2 meats and 2 sides which was more than enough for one person), the house salad with Salmon which was amazing and the pulled pork sandwich which was to DIE FOR. If you are stopping through, you must go.Vegetarian options: We also had the Brussels sprouts as an appetiser which were delicious

Decent food, but limited quantity. We ordered the 4x4 dinner and enjoyed the meats and sides we received. However, the amount of food is far less than we expected. Specifically: No actual ribs in the STL ribs, just some thing strips of meat 1 sausageof the Texas sausage 7 total Brussels sprouts All the sides were filled only halfway up the cups they were in (seepicture) Each person?s plate looked really sparse when we divvied up the food. Maybe the dine in experience is better.

Definitely the best brisket I've had on the west coast. Both sausages are amazing too. Pro tip: Their BBQ is really outstanding, so if you want to try more of it, then order by the pound. Sides just full you up. Absolutely planning on goingback to try more of the menu. Staff was kind and punctual. Don't miss.
