STUDIO HOTRODS SMOKEHOUSE

Good Food, Music, People and Times

​

An experience like no other.

​

Remember the days of Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, James Dean and Johnny Cash? Studio Hotrods Smokehouse is bringing a Southern Rock flavor with Country and Blues undertones to Fox Lake with its new concept venue, bringing the best of those days and twisting it with modern rhythms and vibes! Experience an intimate venue unlike no other with everything from hotrods on display and retro-modern furniture, paired with a classic American menu featuring full Southern Smokehouse comfort food-inspired flavor and portions. Smokehouse guests can arrive by land or water, with 36 boat slips and easy access outdoor bar, walk-in food pick up window or stay longer with the full service dining room and patio. Make a day or night out of it with a full lakeside dining experience and then head up to the Rev Room at night for an up close and personal live music experience from some of the best national, regional and local acts. You never know who will stop by the Smokehouse any night of the week.
