Welcome to The Hudson Smokehouse: Authentic BBQ in Ironton

Hudson smokehouse bbq bar Ironton Cuyuna Crosby

At The Hudson Smokehouse, located in the heart of Ironton, we proudly bring Texas-style BBQ to our community. As a locally owned and operated establishment run by fifth-generation Crosby-Ironton Rangers, the Lundquist Family, we are deeply rooted in the Cuyuna Range heritage and dedicated to delivering bold flavors and unforgettable meals.

Our secret? Smokin’ DJ, our Smoke Master, where we slow-smoke quality Minnesota-sourced meats onsite daily. Using a proprietary blend of spices and house-made BBQ sauces, we craft flavors that are as bold as they are irresistible. From tender brisket to fall-off-the-bone ribs, every bite is infused with the rich, smoky essence of tradition and care.

Join us for more than just BBQ—experience Ironton’s favorite gathering spot for lunch, dinner, and handcrafted cocktails. At The Hudson Smokehouse, every meal celebrates our love for community, local ingredients, and incredible flavor.

Stop by today to meet Smokin' DJ and savor the best BBQ in the Crosby-Ironton and Brainerd Lakes Area, crafted with local pride!
