ABOUT US
Located in Frankfort, Michigan, near Betsie Bay and Lake Michigan, Port City Smokehouse serves fresh Great Lakes fish, maple wood smoked favorites, sandwiches, and Up North staples in the area Good Morning America once named “the most beautiful place in America.”
CARRYOUT FAVORITES
Stop in for lunch, dinner, or something easy to take to the beach, boat, or cottage. Our carryout menu features Port City favorites that are fast, casual, and made with the same Great Lakes fish and Up North flavor we’re known for.
THE WOOD
BEHIND THE SMOKE
Our maple-smoked flavor starts in the woods. We cut sugar maple during northern Michigan’s early-spring sap run, then split and season it until it’s ready for the smoker. The result is a clean, gently sweet smoke that brings out the best in our fish and house-made pâtés.
FRESH & SMOKED
GREAT-LAKES FISH
Our fish comes in fresh from the Great Lakes, primarily Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Depending on the season, you’ll find favorites like whitefish, lake trout, salmon, walleye, perch, and other freshwater varieties in our case. Stop in to see what’s fresh and take home something local.
UP NORTH MARKETPLACE
Beyond fresh and smoked fish, Port City Smokehouse carries a selection of snacks, sweets, jams, and local favorites to round out your Up North stop. Grab jerky for the road, something sweet for the cottage, or a few Port City goods made with the flavors of northern Michigan.
FRESH GREAT LAKES FISH, SMOKED & SERVED IN FRANKFORT
Our whitefish, lake trout, walleye, perch, and bluegill come from the cold, deep waters of the upper Great Lakes. We smoke them over 100% sugar maple wood for our smoked fish and house-made pâtés, and we also serve local catches flash-fried for our popular carryout menu. Stop in for fish sandwiches, dinners, smoked BBQ, our award-winning pork sandwich, and more.
