Smokey’s Kitchen – Truckee, CA

I must tell you about my latest discovery… Smokey’s Kitchen in Truckee, California

Smokey’s Kitchen is a great little BBQ restaurant on Donner Pass Road just off Interstate 80, exit 184.

I tried their signature Whiskey Steak, a delightful twist on a classic rib eye, generously smothered in their flavorful whiskey sauce (traditionally served with a New York steak). The dish was a perfect balance of tenderness and savory richness.

The atmosphere at Smokey’s is welcoming, with a staff that was friendly and a dining experience that offers generous portions… just enough for a hungry I-80 traveler. I particularly enjoyed their cornbread, which was a delightful accompaniment to the hearty meal.

One of the highlights was sitting out on their patio during the day, where I could soak in the picturesque views of the nearby mountains, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to an already fantastic dining experience.
