About us

SmokeStacks Cafe is a family-owned restaurant, located in the heart of the Historic Oakwood Neighborhood in Downtown Raleigh NC. Specializing in craft smoked meats, SmokeStacks is not your typical BBQ, "meat and three sides," spot.

Whether it's brunch and cocktails with friends at the hand-crafted tables on the patio, or a quiet weekend dinner inside with your significant other, the options of food and beverage are endless. The kitchen staff takes pride in creating daily menus to make each plate a work of art.

From wine pairings, seasonal cocktails, and craft beer; the front-of-house staff is committed to helping create a memorable experience for each guest. Daily drink specials are always in rotation, and dessert options are ever-changing.

If you are looking to host a private event or need a special event catered, look no further. SmokeStacks Cafe specializes in custom catering as well as special events, small and large. Request a sit-down with a staff member to design a menu that will best fit your special occasion.
