What our guests are saying
Felt like a family dinner, was amazing food and amazing service, they prayed over the buffet before serving and genuinely felt like I was home again at the table of my grandmother, aunt , or mom's home. Come hungry! Because I most definitely wanted to eat as much as I could. All of the food was fresh and well seasoned

This was probably the BEST soul food restaurant my husband and I have ever eaten at! The portions were huge and the taste……took me all the way back to my childhood. Jazz was an amazing host and waitress. The value especially for the amount of food we got was phenomenal! We will definitely be back! Do yourself a favor and go visit up n smoke!!!!

“Oh my gosh — everything was amazing! Everyone in our group absolutely loved the food. The flavors, the portions, and the presentation were all on point. You could really taste the care that went into every bite. We got nothing but positive feedback from everyone who ate, and people were asking who made the food — I told them it was all Up in Smoke! If you’re in Michigan City and haven’t tried them yet, you’re missing out. Definitely recommend — top-notch food and great service. Can’t wait to come back!”
