About

Knights' Smokehouse BBQ in Carlsbad fires an all-wood smoker inside LEGOLAND California's Hideaways zone, serving Texas-style barbecue minutes from The Crossings at Carlsbad. The low-and-slow program produces brisket, pulled pork, and Beeler's St. Louis ribs over hardwood, a craft-smokehouse format that shares the wood-fired cooking ethos of Canyons Restaurant at The Crossings on Cannon Road. The Taste of Texas platter samples three smoked proteins alongside cornbread and two sides, while individual Beeler's ribs sell by the bone for lighter appetites. A separate beer window pours craft drafts independent of the main food line, and oversized desserts — including a signature Rice Krispie treat block — cap the meal in a portion style that matches the scoops at Handel's Homemade Ice Cream off El Camino Real. The smokehouse earned a perfect 100-out-of-100 San Diego County environmental health inspection score, with all proteins cooked to USDA-compliant internal temperatures in the on-site all-wood pit.
