## About
Boshkung Smokehouse is a Texas-style BBQ restaurant located at Haliburton Forest & Wildlife Reserve in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada. We slow-smoke our meats low and slow over real wood — brisket, pulled pork, chicken, turkey, and sausage — and serve them up with bold house-made sauces and rubs. We are the only smokehouse in cottage country combining authentic Texas-style BBQ with a nature experience, craft beer, live music, and a strong community atmosphere.
