The Smokehouse is a grill pub in Bulawayo where you order crocodile, kudu or beef from the menu, cooked over fire. The kitchen also serves burgers and baked potatoes as sides. Craft beer and cocktails come from the bar, with music playing in the background.

Tables fill on Fridays and Saturdays when the place is busiest. Staff are noted for being friendly, and the decor is simple. Flies can be an issue in the open-air seating, but the restaurant provides repellent candles when needed.

The Smokehouse is part of a small chain with locations in Harare and Victoria Falls, but the Bulawayo branch stands on its own for its straightforward approach to grilled meat and relaxed service.
