Award-Winning Montana BBQ Spot Announces Permanent Closure

If you had to pick an all-American food, what would it be? Think about it. What would people in other countries consider "American food?" The first thing that comes to mind is burgers and hot dogs. But do those represent proper American cuisine? If I wanted to impress someone from another country with an authentic American meal, I would take them to the nearest barbecue restaurant. That is what I call a REAL American meal.

We have been perfecting an American style of smoking meats for hundreds of years. With varying different sauces and preparation styles from different regions of the country. Our friend Brett Schreyer has been perfecting his BBQ skills for decades. Developing his craft into a business known as "Up N Smokin." Brett originally launched a BBQ joint in Phillipsburg, before moving his operation to Stevensville in 2020. Up N Smokin also operates a large food truck and catering business on top of the restaurant.

Just this past year, Up N Smokin announced that they moving to Hamilton. They aimed to focus on their catering business. Unfortunately for us BBQ fans, Up N Smokin has already decided to go in another direction.

According to the announcement on social media

UPNSMOKIN BBQ HOUSE has officially closed for the last time. We have decided to retire and move to the coast. I would like to thank you all for the past 15 years of serving this community.

There are to many people to thank without missing a bunch but thank you to my amazing staff, suppliers, vendors and customers.
