Blue Kuna Smokehouse is a wood-fired love letter to Plymouth, built by hometown chef and pitmaster Randall Kuna.
After decades in high-pressure kitchens, private cheffing, and ten years refining Blue Kuna sauces and rubs, he’s brought it all home to 600 W. Ann Arbor Trail.
Out back, a custom smoker burns kiln-dried cherry, apple, and oak for a cleaner, more nuanced smoke on brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and rotating specials like Jamaican chicken wings, bourbon-smoked salmon, and pork belly burnt ends.
Inside, the refreshed dining room- new carpet and custom wood tables from a local craftsman- keeps things cozy while the menu stays grounded in what Michigan diners love, just done to the highest standard.
Kuna’s goal is simple: add happiness to people’s lives, one plate at a time. He talks about smoke like a seasonal Michigan ritual- comforting and familiar, like burning leaves in the fall- and he approaches every service “with fire in his soul,” determined to earn his place in Plymouth every day.

Long before the smokehouse opened, Blue Kuna sauces and rubs were on shelves across Michigan, in more than 40 stores, giving home cooks the same bold flavors now used on the restaurant’s meats.
The smokehouse is the natural next chapter—where the spice rubs, vegan-friendly sauces, and kiln-dried smoke meet a brick-and-mortar kitchen in the town where it all started.
