Lil' Smoked Bar + Grill — Restaurant in Dixon Township

This restaurant is definitely worth it! Wow this place was actually amazing. A little stressful when walking into a new environment. But once you sit down and get settled in its easy to become entranced in how busy the staff keep themselves, and how polite they still remain with customers. The bar tender was amazing, he makes a mean Pina colada! and our waiter was amazing as well. We chose 2 appetizers the onion rings and the chips and queso and they were wonderful the onion rings were sweet and salty. The queso stayed melty and warm the whole time. The tortilla chips were unique with their own flavor! definitely jealous of their recipe. Next we got the chicken tenders with fries and pulled pork sandwich (added bacon) with chips. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the fries were good to (we dipped them in the queso as well!) My picky boyfriend had no complaints! They also brought us cups of sauce just so we could try the different flavors! All of the sauces were very flavorful! try their ranch sauce to! I got the pulled pork sandwich (bacon) with house chips. The sandwich was on the dry side for a pulled pork but the flavor was definitely still there! Usually I like a really saucy mess but it still had that bold flavor! Was definitely worth our time. The bacon was perfect it wasn't to thick or thin and it had a smooth taste and good crunch it was perfect on the sandwich! The house chips were plain they looked like sweet potato chips but I wasn't sure. It was a good pairing with the sandwich for sure! We came in to a full house only 2 tables left, but no matter how many people came in they got everyone a seat! They are very accommodating. I will be back and I will bring friends and family! Can't wait to try more of the menue!

The only thing I could say would improve this restaurant would be some Mac and cheese choices! Brisket and pulled pork Mac and cheese would be phenomenal from here!

Our order was about 60$ in total which isn't bad at all for the two of us and a full to go box! Have a great day and try some...

Upon arriving we were greeted with a smile. A comfortable and clean atmosphere , lighting was just right to relax yourself. Our waiter, Danny "Eduardo", greeted our table with a energetic smile. I was very impressed on his knowledge and nifty way of describing their dishes that it literally made your mouth water. He brought us a combination platter of different meats, wings, curds, fries, coleslaw and more. A variety of BBQ sauces were brought to us, and I can tell you it was difficult to choose a favorite. The food was fantastic and brought to us in a few minutes. The customer service was amazing and although it's an hour drive from Clinton, it's definitely well worth the drive. Unfortunately, only one picture was taken of our food however, I'd say this picture...

Lil' Smoked is hands-down my favorite spot for BBQ in the area. The food is fantastic . my husband had the brisket dip, I had the smoked brisket sandwich with cowboy beans (so good!), and I’m already planning on trying the chicken sandwich next time. They also have Mr.Pibb which is my fav.

The service is what makes this place shine. Gabby was our server and she was outstanding! friendly, fun, and gave great recommendations. The bartender who first sat us was also super approachable and attentive. Even when it’s packed, the staff makes you feel taken care of. If I had one lighthearted suggestion, maybe throw one TV on Forensic Files for those of us who aren’t into sports. 🤣

Small-town feel, five-star atmosphere. Great food, great people, great vibes....
