This North Center BYOB serves traditional barbecue, including ribs, rib tips and pulled pork, in what was once a Lincoln Avenue cobbler's shop. These days, you can expect an open kitchen, bright yellow walls hung with work from local artists, and checked tablecloths on the tables. In warmer months, the back patio nearly doubles the size of the place. The current operators use Michael "Woody" Boucher's original recipes for spice rub and sauce (Woody, who still runs his seasonal spot of the same name in Michigan, taught them the ropes) and smoke their meats in-house. If you're tired of straight-up baby backs, try the center-cut pork loin for a white-meat alternative. Smokin' Woody's also is the only spot in town to offer smoked sirloin instead of the usual brisket.
