About KINSmoke
KINSmoke brings authentic barbecue to the heart of Healdsburg, combining slow-smoked meats with Wine Country sophistication. This isn’t your typical roadside BBQ joint – it’s a refined take on American comfort food that perfectly complements the region’s wine culture. The restaurant’s commitment to traditional smoking techniques, using locally sourced hardwoods, creates incredibly tender meats with deep, complex flavors that pair beautifully with both craft cocktails and Sonoma County wines.
The menu showcases classic barbecue staples elevated with California flair. Their brisket is smoked for 14 hours until it practically melts in your mouth, while the pulled pork sandwich comes topped with tangy slaw and house-made pickles. Don’t miss the smoked chicken wings or the fall-off-the-bone ribs glazed with their signature bourbon sauce. Sides like mac and cheese with smoked gouda and grilled corn with chili-lime butter round out the hearty offerings.
The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Exposed brick walls and reclaimed wood create warmth, while the sleek bar area showcases an impressive selection of whiskeys and craft cocktails. The spacious patio, adorned with string lights and surrounded by wine barrels, offers the ideal setting for enjoying barbecue under the Sonoma County stars.
Whether you’re taking a break from wine tasting or looking for a satisfying dinner after exploring Healdsburg’s boutiques, KINSmoke delivers an experience that’s both authentically American and uniquely Wine Country. It’s the perfect spot to unwind with friends over great food and drinks.
