About Holy Smokes BBQ
Holy Smokes is a barbecue and coffee house combination on Avenue B in Cloquet, a block off the Cloquet Avenue downtown.
The pairing sounds odd and is common in small towns, where one storefront has to earn its rent across the whole day rather than at one meal. It is also a fair signal about Cloquet's downtown: the old commercial grid still supports independent food businesses, which is not true of every town of this size in the region.
Hours are not published by the business. Confirm before you go.
