The company’s history traces back to 1927 when E.M. Burger began curing hams using his mother’s German recipe of salt, pepper, and brown sugar. He sold six hams in the first year, and by 1930, he and his wife Natalia had cured and sold 24 hams. In 1952, the family built the first Ham House on their farm in California, Missouri, curing 1,000 hams in the first year of operation. In 1956, the business became the first country-cured meat company in the United States to receive Federal inspection, shifting focus from farming to meat production. Today, Burgers' Smokehouse remains owned and operated by the third and fourth generations of the Burger family, with the original ham house still part of the plant complex. The product line has expanded to include various proteins, cheeses, and desserts, produced using traditional methods.

Smokehouse maintains a solid reputation among the customers it has served, backed by an established track record built on a large base of customer reviews. This standing reflects the enduring quality of its hickory smoked meats and the family’s long-standing commitment to traditional curing methods.

The combination of a century-long heritage and a strong local reputation makes Smokehouse a distinctive dining and shopping destination in Charleston.

Smokehouse sits on W Washington St in Charleston, about 0.3 miles from Patrick Street and near the Second Avenue Community Center.
