We're a family-run BBQ joint rooted in Kansas traditions and fired up with Wisconsin pride. Since 2010, Bad Bones has been smokin' low and slow, serving up brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and house-made sausages — all paired with scratch-made sides and a lineup of signature sauces.
Whether you're lakeside, trail-bound, or just hungry for something real, we've got your plate covered.
At Bad Bones BBQ, we believe great barbecue is more than just food — it's a feeling. That slow curl of smoke, the deep, wood-fired flavor, the laughter around the table — it all comes together Where Smoke Meets Soul. Nestled in the heart of the Northwoods, we serve bold, handcrafted BBQ that's steeped in tradition and smoked with pride. From hand-cut fries to fall-off-the-bone ribs, every plate tells a story of real ingredients, real fire, and real people. Whether you're lakeside with family or bellied up with friends, this is where memories (and fingers) get a little saucy.
We loved the entire meal! Brisket (we've had it both ways and loved it), fries (the basket is huge-enough for 2 for sure), Mac n' cheese was super!
