Strongman Smokehouse

We love Strongman and try to stop by every time we go to Spooner. Staff is great, food - delicious, and lots to do outdoors in the summer.

BBQ was incredible! We got the feast with macaroni and cheese, Brussel sprouts , waffle fries and corn bread. Service was great! We had our 3 year old and the servers had toys for him to play with it was great! Lots of space outside to sit or play volleyball!

Finally visited the long anticipated Strong Man Smokehouse and it did not disappoint! Any time I see a bbq spot I will always pick that over any other type of restaurant. The brisket is excellent. Perfectly cooked and not dry. The pork wings are a must try, the dry rub is excellent and the hot honey sprouts. Not to mention the bbq sauces are all made in house and delicious. We went there on a Wednesday for dinner at 5 pm and it was packed! There was a volleyball tournament going on. So glad to see another restaurant open up in this area. Most of the other restaurants in this area are the same menu, same salad bar, and same drinks. This place is different so don't expect the same. I hope this place continues to do well. Highly recommend!

This is the best smoked meat I have had in over 30 years.. I was raised in the south and I ate lots of BBQwhen I was young.. Heidi was absolutely the best..Thanks for the memories..

We recently returned from a vacation in Austin, TX (supposedly the best BBQ you've ever had) People line up for hours. We went to 2 of these places. Bad.. really bad. The ribs were so tough and dry that you could barely get the meat off the bones! The 2nd place we went, the service was so bad that I literally asked a server if she had a problem? Now we are home again, and our 1st visit to Strongman. Number one, they need to go to Austin, Texas, and teach these people how to make ribs!! Number two, they need to go to various other restaurants and teach people what real customer service means! Outstanding food, outstanding service. Loved munching on peanuts with our ice cold beer. Great job to all of you involved in the hard work putting this place together.

My husband took me there last week for my birthday. I had shrimp tacos. They were great, However very spicy. I put my Cole slaw on it and it was greatHusband had pork and he loved it along with French fries. We will be back soon.

Small portions and huge, crazy prices.Dry, flavorless brisket, really dry and flavorless brisket.Totally flavorless pulled pork.They add, quoting from their website, a "relatively insignificant 4% charge" to cover employee benefits.If it is so "insignificant" why don't they pay it themselves?Maybe just increase the (already crazy high) prices 4% rather than adding a surprise surcharge to your bill at the end of meal?Does the surprise billing of 4% actually go to the employees or does it just pad the owner's profits?Seriously, just raise prices on the menu and be up front with charges.Mac and cheese was OK but small.Cornbread was very small (but it did have a good flavor).Service was OK but nothing special. We waited longer for the bill to come than for the meal...I guess they forgot us?Actually, the bill never came, my wife and I had to track the waitperson down to get and pay our bill! (She was, for some reason, not coming out of the back, the bar tender had to finally go get her!)Atmosphere was nice, bright, clean and new looking...but nothing special...kind'a too open, cold and sterile (IMHO).Free peanuts on the table were not bad.My wife and I cannot recommend the restaurant and have no reason to go back.

Some of the best food ever. The brussels sprouts were fantastic! The shrimp tacos were to die for the mac & cheese was amazing. Nor a bad thing in the house! Our server Michele was great. We will definitely be back when we are in this area again. What a great!

The menu portion is not what you get. My husband ordered the Brisket that was $26 and they brought him two skinny slices that looked like it was a child's portion. Definitely not worth the money for what you got. And the Meaty Mac description is not clear. It says it has green onion and it came with pickled onion which I hate and had to pick off. The food tasted really good and establishment itself was really nice. I love the log bar stools. They just need to update the description of the food on the menu when it says a pound and the waitress comes back and says the chef said it's 6 oz. $26 for 6 oz? ? Ouch!

Came upon this establishment on our way to Hayward. So glad we stopped. Loved the sauces, bbq, and sides. Give the brussel sprouts a try- So good!!!
