Route 66 Smokehouse is a Stone Street–area bar and grill built around regional American barbecue, with smoked wings, pork clouds, and burgers served indoors and on a busy cobblestone patio. Strong Google ratings and steady brunch and happy-hour traffic make it a go-to when coworkers want beers, smoked meats, and outdoor tables in the middle of the historic district.
Must-Try Dishes: Pork Clouds, Smoked Chicken Wings, Fried Green Tomatoes
