Tom’s Smokehouse — Restaurant in Milwaukee

Just experienced Tom's for the first time at Hartfest in Wauwatosa. Hands down the best BBQ I have had in the greater Milwaukee area. I'd say I am picky with BBQ, being from Texas, and I had lost faith in the north for producing the succulent meat that they make in the south, but WOW.

We also had the coleslaw (delicious) and mac and cheese (the kiddo loved). Not a bad thing on the platter.

It felt like this was a limited selection due to it being a festival, but I would absolutely love to see what else Tom can produce.

Also took a picture this time before I...

WOW!! If you aren't up for cooking dinner and looking for something delicious, check out Tom's Smokehouse. He does NOT disappoint! The food is absolutely delicious and will have you searching for more. The first time I bought this, it didn't make it to dinner - it was GONE before the sun even thought about setting. The brisket melts in your mouth, the cornbread is slap-yo mama good, and the rest perfectly sides with the meal. Tom and Mary are truly sweethearts and takes "Service with a smile" to a new level along with all the others at Tom's Smokehouse. Good people, good food... I definitely and highly recommend. Thank You Tom's Smokehouse for introducing this deliciousness to...
