About the Business
An authentic community watering hole in Gales Creek, Oregon. We are the gateway to the Tillamook Forest and its bevy of recreations. At Smokehouse, we strive for every person to feel welcomed with nostalgic hospitality. We aim to be a local favorite, a perfect base camp for people utilizing the Tillamook forest, a destination, or a stopover on your way to and from the coast and your spot to stock up on fireside provisions in a festive atmosphere. Smokehouse Chicken & Guns offers a complete coffee and espresso program, breakfast, lunch, dinner, soft serve, beer, and cocktails all in a thoughtfully curated atmosphere that makes you want to stay a while, but will also have you covered when you are itching to get into the forest. Smoked meats are carefully prepared alongside vibrant sauces and a charred and roasted celebration of local farm vegetables and foraged bounty. Americana meets Latin inspirations over an open fire. Step into another dimension with us. Dustin Knox used inspiration from childhood memories of the 70s to create an immediately rustic-psychedelic, vintage scape as the space moves from cafe to restaurant to bar to outdoors.

This place is a hidden gem.
When you walk in the menus are on your left, you can order or go get a table and look over your options before ordering, which is what we did.
The food was absolutely amazing, everything looked as good as it tasted. We all tried each other's plates as well and nothing was less than great.
The drinks were all delicious as well and made quickly, all brought out at the same time.
The lighting is soft, lots of big windows which let in natural light. Everything was clean, and it smells wonderful inside. They have music playing softly in the background but nothing too loud to maintain a conversation.
I've been to the food cart and it was wonderful, but this brick and mortar spot just adds to the experience and is absolutely a must do!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Beth M.Portland, OR429221265Dec 15, 2023
Oh my goodness! Such delicious wings. Possibly the best Bloody Mary's, and incredibly attentive staff make this a perfect spot to gather.
It was on our way to the beach that we stumbled upon this gem, and we are the better for it. The rustic setting has a vintage vibe that immediately made me want to sit back and take it all in.
Wings are the star of the show, but don't sleep on the burger.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kara M.Tacoma, WA3895172Nov 4, 2023
The owner/manager was rude and disrespectful to a large group that made reservations. He asked a pregnant woman to move tables and then complained that the next table was in the aisle way and implied that our party moved it which was not the case. Anytime a new patron came in he kept interrupting seated guests to ensure a table by the live music was left open for other guests, as if we were not paying customers ourselves. Food wasn't even that good, I'll never be back.
The waitstaff and bartenders were amazing and I hope they move on to another establishment where they can be better appreciated.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1 - Gayle R.OR, OR06429Apr 20, 2024

Great food! Best Mac and cheese I've ever ordered. My boyfriend got the burger with everything on it and said it was one of the best burgers he's had. Also ordered wings, half a bird, carrots and beets and everyone loved everything we ordered. Will definitely be going back.

Omg. Unbelievably delicious food. The prime rib sannie (only Thursday), shoshito peppers, guns (fried morsals of heavenly potatoes), home made hot sauce, home made chimichurri, cocktails, old country western music, outdoor seating, extremely nice servers....I'm in heaven. Make the trip to Gales Creek and you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food and fun place to dine. The place is a 15 minute drive from North Plains , but, worth it. Our 6 year old grand daughter loves this place!

We've been twice and will definitely be back again soon, the food is great! Even for vegetarian me, there is enough to keep me happy. The guns are great, and their roasted carrots are SO GOOD!!! Like, really really good. I've also tried and like the slaw and several of their dipping sauces. The salad I ordered the first visit was the only iffy item - on the one hand, it was beautiful, fresh, had lovely interesting ingredients and could have been fantastic. However, it was really small and the dressing was bland and there was very little if any, so it just tasted like the various raw ingredients arranged on a plate and served un-dressed. If they fix the dressing issue it would be a great salad. Various people I've eaten with there have tried the burger and raved about it, apparently it's a REALLY good burger. The chicken also seems to be very good, but everyone (3 people) that tried the prime rib on our Thursday night visit said they would not order it again, they said it was chewy and nothing special. Service was mostly great, there was one woman there the first visit that had a checked-out attitude but she was gone next time and everyone else has been lovely. Drinks are very good, I really enjoyed the Gold Rush, their version of a margarita.
Giving them 5 stars with a disclaimer - the 2nd time we went was on a prime rib Thursday and it was a ZOO. Packed, LOUD, and overall not a great time, and none of the 3 people that tried the prime rib would order it again so we will definitely be back but not on a Thursday.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 5, 2023
Fantastic food, rad atmosphere, friendly service, and surprisingly quality cocktails for a middle of nowhere bar

Excellent "destination" diner that has been renovated into a really cool space. It's a bit of a hike from Portland, but hit a winery on your way out and make sure you stop here for a meal and drink. There's a great countertop to sit at as well as a very cool bar in the back. The food is outstanding!
Guaranteed you will not be disappointed!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
