Love, love, love Smokehouse 61!! When I first moved to Missouri, I was having a hard time finding good BBQ. I was always disappointed with the local BBQ places until Smokehouse opened up! Their pulled pork is amazing! It is so good it doesn't even need sauce! Their potato casserole is just as amazing! My husband has had the brisket, ribs and smoked pork steaks and he says it is all wonderful too! We love this place so much, we had them cater our wedding reception this past October and all of our guests raved about the food! :) The owner and staff are always very friendly too :) I highly recommend Smokehouse 61!! :)
Just fantastic! You MUST get the cornbread! Flat flapjack just like my mom made. Fabulous owner too. I highly recommend this place.
Really like the food. Place would be much better if all of the people were friendly. Being nice does not cost anything, being rude does.
****updated review.**** everything has been fixed! Super friendly staff and great food. Been back multiple times.
Amazing BBQ...and in my opinion, the best in Cape. Fantastic pulled pork, ribs and brisket not to mention the delicious sides and fantastic homemade soups. This is BBQ done right!!
Excellent BBQ. My wife and I really enjoyed both our sandwiches. I had pulled pork on Texas toast and she had the Southwestern Chicken sandwich. The flavor on both meats was fantastic. We'll definitely be back.
The pulled pork was just as good as their service. The ribs fell right off the bone which were nice and juicy. The sides were nice and filling too, I will never leave out of that place without their potato casserole.
My husband loved the brisket being one of the most tender adequately seasoned pieces of meat he has eaten. It's a locally owned business and would highly recommend stopping in.
Ordered 1/2 slab ribs .. meat was tender and pulled right off bone, slaw was crisp and beans were warm and yummy also ordered pulled pork nachos .. loaded down Was a very nice experience and will return very soon :)

This is by far the best ribs I have ever had! We have eaten there several times and it has never disappointed! Cannot wait to go back!
So much more than bbq! Very friendly staff and and reasonable pricing, can't wait to come back and try something else
Stopped in for the first time today. Best ribs I've ever had. Will definitely make it a regular stopping place when in Cape.
Absolutely amazing food and super friendly staff. I work near here and usually have the big tex meal 2-3 times a week. The best bbq meal I have ever had!!
Best BBQ in Southeast Missouri!! I recommend everyone stop by for delicious food and and their super friendly staff!!
Smokehouse 61, located at the NE corner of William and Kingshighway (in Cape Girardeau, Missouri) has a great selection of meaty sub style sandwiches and sides. If you took a regular sub-shop and then filled it with some great BBQ and smoked meats and added fresh sides and some very friendly faces then you'd be describing Smokehouse 61. Their brisket and BBQ are excellent, the prices reasonable and the sauce selections are amazing. There's a broad variety of sandwiches options, which sometimes makes ordering difficult. I recommend checking out the specials. The French Dip is nice, but my current favorite is the Northeast Smoked Chicken. As far as I'm aware the meats are smoked locally and taste wonderful.
Most excellent food. Nearly all home made fresh by miss Eileen. Friendly staff. Terrific specials. Try the French dip or burnt brisket ends with daily cut french fried potatoes and choice of two kinds of slaw.
Suggested if you haven't dined here, it's a wonderful little gem with pit smoked meats. Our party of two had the 1/2 order of ribs.
Wow, the meat was the most succulent, tender, mouthwatering we've consumed in recent memory
This restaurant is rather small and cramped for space. There is limited outside dinning available.
On each table, they have available, at least three squeeze bottles of their house bbq sauces.
The only negative would be on this visit, the fountain coca cola, had a very nasty carbonated taste to it, very flat, with no fizz.
Price wise menu items $$
Good food - I had the brisket with potato salad and beans. I actually didn't like the beans due to sweetness but many people will like them. Excellent customer service. My reason for 4 stars is because tables needed to be cleaned off for new customers to be sit. We had to clean/bus the table we chose.
I moved down from Iowa, this was one of the 1st places my husband I tried when we moved here. Their Pulled Pork Plate is so tasty, but my favorite thing is home made fries. I always look for restaurants that serve grewtvfries. It is now my favorite place to eat. We sit on patio, and we are able to have our puppy with us outside. A great experience!
Phenomenal! My new go-to place for bbq. Food was SOOOOO GOOD. The pulled pork was so flavorful and moist and prices were great. Very relaxing, home-touches inside. Staff was very welcoming.
Seriously-bypass all the others, and make a straight shot to their door. Hands down, best in the area. Will DEFINITELY be back!
