Dear friends, family, and loyal Lazybones BBQ customers,

After 20 incredible years of smoking meat, building a community, and sharing countless memories, we’re announcing the closure of Lazybones Smokehouse. This has been a tough decision, but it’s time to turn the page on what has been one of the most meaningful chapters of our lives. The last day of service will be Saturday April 12.

We’re also sharing that our building has been sold to our next-door neighbor Ryder Truck, and while it's bittersweet to say goodbye to our original home, we’re excited for what lies ahead.

The good news? This isn’t the end of the road for us. Ten years ago, I opened BrownIron Brewhouse (locations in Royal Oak and Washington Twp), and for the time being, we’ll continue to run Lazybones’ catering and food truck operations out of Brown Iron locations. For inquiries please reach out to arline@browniron.com.

So, while the restaurant may be closing, our BBQ will still be hitting the road and your events.

This is a farewell to the original location (which has been in the family for 35 years) — but not to the flavor, not to the friendships, and not to the fire that started it all.

If you want to keep up with what we are doing, visit us at here

With heartfelt thanks,

Deni & Louie Smiljanovski
