BBQ Restaurants in Clarkston

When Guy Fieri rolled into Clarkston, Michigan, he discovered a small-town BBQ scene punching well above its weight. This charming Oakland County community has earned its spot on the Flavortown map with two smokin’ hot establishments that caught Triple D’s attention.

Leading the pack is Union Woodshop, a beloved local favorite boasting an impressive 4.5-star rating. This rustic gem has perfected the art of low-and-slow cooking, serving up the kind of authentic barbecue that had Guy going back for seconds. With both featured restaurants still firing up their smokers today and maintaining that stellar 4.5-star average, Clarkston proves that great BBQ doesn’t require a big city address—just passion, quality ingredients, and plenty of smoke.
