Smoker's BBQ Pit

9711 Stephen Decatur Highway

Popular West Ocean City eatery Smoker's BBQ Pit has reopened at 9711 Stephen Decatur Highway after closing indefinitely on June 27, 2023, due to a massive fire caused by a lightning strike.

The fire, which destroyed the interior of the building and a part of the side, led Smoker's BBQ Pit to rebuild. Since then, the eatery has installed a new computer system, shelving, kitchen equipment, dry wall and flooring.

"Thank you for an amazing first day to our reopening weekend shenanigans! It's so good to be back!" said Smoker's BBQ Pit, which officially reopened on March 15, in a Facebook post.

According to its Facebook page, Smoker's BBQ Pit is now open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and closed Tuesdays.
