Smokin' Barrels Burgers & BBQ
Tucked away in the heart of Fortuna, California, Smokin' Barrels Burgers & BBQ is the kind of laid-back spot that makes you want to kick back and stay a while. Located at 1095 S Fortuna Blvd Ste E, this casual gem serves up bold BBQ flavors in a setting that’s perfect for everything from family outings to hanging with your crew on a sunny day.
The vibe? Super chill. With trendy decor, outdoor seating, and a kid-friendly atmosphere, it strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and buzzing. Whether you're dropping by for a quick lunch or bringing a group for dinner, there’s space and flavor for everyone.
Now let’s talk about the food—because that’s where Smokin' Barrels really shines. Their Pulled Pork Sandwich is packed with smoky goodness, dripping with house-made BBQ sauce that hits all the right notes. If you’re into beefier bites, the Tri Tip Sandwich delivers tender slices with a punch of savory richness. Burger lovers, don’t sleep on the Husky Burger or the Western Burger—both loaded, juicy, and served up just right.
For those wanting something a little lighter without skimping on flavor, the Buffalo Chicken Salad adds a spicy kick to your greens, topped with crispy chicken that’s anything but boring.
It’s the kind of place that locals rave about and road trippers stumble upon—and then tell all their friends. From the moment you walk in, you get that welcoming, neighborhood feel. No pretensions. Just good food, good people, and a whole lot of BBQ love.

Great service. Yummy food. The beverages are made perfectly. Sit back and relax while you watch sports on their televisions.
Service and food were great, had the pulled pork sandwich. French fries were cooked perfectly.
Great food spot in Fortuna. Friendly service and a good bar. I highly recommend the Buffalo chicken salad.
Stopped in for a bite while traveling. Only regret was not having a bigger appetite. Fried Man N Cheese balls were good. Fresh, hot as fire from fresh cooking. Delicious. The smokin nacho, maybe it's the make up of the beer cheese, could have possibly sat a couple mins waiting on the hot fried Mac, but the cheese was a bit "set" and cool. No worries though, it was flavorful and being paired with the fresh tomatoes, olives, jalapeños, and salsa more than made up for it. Service, Brie (I apologize if I misspelled) was amazing. Very involved and polite. I look forward to a return visit.
We wanted a last minute take out dinner on a Sunday. We don't usually go here because it mostly sandwiches and we like leftovers. We called and they had a surf and turf special with rib-eye steak salmon veggies and rice. It was a generous portion that was delicious and cooked perfectly. We will return for their dinner special.
