Local Loyalty - Smoke'd on the Water

Welcome back to this week's instalment!
Today's feature is  -

"The oasis on the right side of the bridge, closer to down-town", 
"pinched between Festival Hall and the lake", 
Smoke’d is located at the boat launch, 
where Salmon-a-rama is held, and is a truly hidden gem.

As you may have guessed, by the picture, 
Smoke'd is owned and run by Caleb, of Top Dog.
Smoke'd is open from roughly mid May thru mid October.
The hours are 10am-8pm, but will be extended with the summer season. 
The menu includes some of the favorites from the Top Dog menu, but also features smoked meats like pulled pork and chicken, and other goodies. 
Smoke'd on the Water opened the summer of 2012. 
His goal for Smoke'd is to get back to what it used to be at the boat launch. 
There will be live music Friday nights and during the weekends. 
I look forward to checking it out this summer.
His 3 words for this summer spot - 
1. Hidden - don't let that stop you from finding it!
2. Beautiful - on our lake
3. Upcoming

Let's help him get this place on the map, 
we may have to have a shin dig down there this summer. 
Watch Facebook for daily specials. 
Don't forget to tell them you saw it here!

I have a terrible admission to make: I've never been to Smoked on the Water. I used to live nearby and drove by often. After Top Dog closed downtown, Smoked was the natural alternative. But I never went. Duh. I have to get a pulled pork sandwich.

I like the idea of a get-together there.

I have no clue where this is, but a pulled pork sandwich with that view sounds like a great venue for a JTI get together.

I'm glad he told me about it, I had no idea it was even there. If we ever get warm temps, sounds like a good plan :)

This morning TV-6 was hording in on LZ's Blogs, they were downtown Racine going to a bunch of the little shops and restaurants and speaking with the owners about what they have going on for valentines day.

I have never heard of it either.
Sure is a different name. I've been there many time in the past when it was owned by someone else, but haven't been there for a couple years now.

I'll happily share with TV coverage, any spotlight we can give local businesses is good!
