Smoke Shack is in Third Ward
Milwaukee barbecue runs alongside the city's brewery and supper-club traditions rather than apart from them. Lakefront Brewery in Riverwest pairs its defining Friday fish fry with smoked plates, while Smoke Shack in the Third Ward serves Memphis and Texas style brisket and pulled pork out of a warehouse room. Carson's downtown near Fiserv Forum has run baby-back ribs and the Carson's potato since 1977.
