Johnny V's Smokehouse

Inviting, fun and nicely lit eating space. Wide selection of menu items. Staff very helpful with walking us through process of ordering. While waiting for our food, Kevin gave us some history of the place and shared his passion for what they do. And they do it right. All appetizers and entrees were perfectly prepared and tasted delicious. Portions were more than enough. Prices fair for what you get. Just a short drive for us from St. Johns, but well worth it. Will be back for more!

Discovered this place by pure chance...what a treat! Food was awesome !!! I had the meat sampler and a side of mac & cheese. Great friendly service and the owner Kevin really makes sure customers enjoy their experience. Thanks Kevin! I wish you many years of success! For all you long haul drivers, there's truck parking across the street. Makes this the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal and shutdown for the night

Have seen the signs on I-69 and always wanted to stop in. Kicking myself for waiting so long. From the moment you walk in the door you are treated like family. Maybe it’s because Kevin and his entire family treat you like family. This is a hidden gem in central Michigan, and most likely a hidden gem in the entire state. The BBQ is addicting. The sauces each have their own distinct flavor. A gentleman casually walked up to ask how the food was and it ended up being the owner. Had us try 7 different sauces, and I still can’t pick my favorite. Ribs are out of this world!

Very Nice staff! Excellent customer service. You feel welcomed the moment you walk in the door! I ordered Pork taco’s, Pulled Pork Kid’sMeal, Pulled Pork Sandwich Combo. The tacos come with BBQ chips that are vey tasty! The pulled pork was very good I ate most of the sandwich without sauce, it was tender and not needed! I did the get the coleslaw on the side. I would recommend if you get it on the side take it out of the box so it’s not warm. The fries are DELICIOUS. They have a seasoning on it that taste so good! Almost like a honey BBQ flavor. The bathroom was clean and well stocked, sooo cute,I might add. Overall a great place to eat and they could definitely handle a large party. The inside was very clean lots of space and the staff sanitized tables as soon as people left! They passed the vibe check!

We had such an amazing experience here tonight! The owner, Kevin, is maybe the most hospitable person I've ever met and his passion for the food he serves is incredible. Not only was the food next level amazing, but the whole place was so clean! We ordered the meat sampler, brisket sandwich and smokehouse fries and also had a tasting of the Mac n cheese, cornbread pudding and the homemade BBQ chips. All I can say is wow. We couldn't stop eating because the food was so good. My son said it was the best food he's ever had and he is not easy to please. We had such a great experience and can't wait to go back. Thank you Kevin and staff for a wonderful night!

What a great place! The food was amazing!! The owner Kevin came by and talked to us and gave us a sample of Ribs!! The staff where very nice! This place is awesome!!! We drove 45 minutes to this place and we will be back!! I can't say enough about how much we enjoy our experience here, from the amazing BBQ, the nice staff and Kevin talking to us and making us feel at home!! This is a must try!!

The owner Kevin meet us at the door and treated us like family. He explained that they use various inspirations of BBQ dependent on the meat type. The burnt ends were superb and there was nothing that touched my lips that I wouldn’t have again. The best part of the experience was the variety of 6 sauces They made everything taste different with each dip.

Stop in for some Johnny V's, you wont be disappointed. Got a few items off the lunch menu and it was on point. Everything was flavorful and fresh, crispy and crunchy. Yum yum your belly will thank you.

Stopped off at Johnny V’s Smoke Shack to try out their BBQ. I ordered the Carnivore Picnic, and would order it again. Sides I ordered were delicious and I was barely able to finish everything I ordered. Everything was amazing!!

Good sweet BBq, mac and cheeses good. Sauces were too sweet for me, no vinegar style available. Could get carolina fries but no sauce for it.
