Planning for the new Island Smokehouse inside Kings Island’s Soak City started during the summer of 2016. Chef Nathan Gushulak helped customize the layout of the Island Smokehouse from top to bottom, turning a blank canvas into a masterful piece of art.

Inside of Island Smokehouse, the park installed custom smokers, grills, and a new state-of-the-art kitchen that can create barbecue masterpieces, and that they did!

The smoker inside Island Smokehouse is the secret to amazing BBQ.

Kings Island rubs their pork down with dry rub before smoking for 12 hours and hand shredding. Guests have the option of having the pulled pork alone or in a bun and served with a side.

You also have the option of either a sweet BBQ sauce or spicy version. We think the spicy BBQ sauce is fantastic with a nice amount of heat with the very tender meat. The pulled pork packs tons of flavor and is an incredible option that appeals to a wide audience.

Guests will also be happy to learn that the pulled pork has been added to the Kings Island dining plans!
