The Smokehouse is located in the center of historic Dillsboro — population 200 – a charming 19th century railroad town on the banks of the Tuckaseigee River in the North Carolina Smokies.
Dillsboro has changed very little over the past century. It’s still a walking town — just two blocks long — sprinkled with pristine white houses, rustic old shops, galleries, restaurants and quaint country inns.
Dillsboro is ideally situated in the heart of the North Carolina mountains, midway between Bryson City, Cherokee, Sylva, Highlands, Cashiers and Franklin, North Carolina; and just minutes from the southern entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
In other words, when you visit the North Carolina Smokies, you’re just minutes away from a great barbeque meal at the Dillsboro Smokehouse. We hope to see you soon.
