WHO WE ARE.

After 4 years of helping other restaurants be successful in New Mexico and Texas, Roy Cassada seized an opportunity to open his own place in his parent’s and grandparent’s home town of Hobart, Oklahoma, at the ripe old age of 20! After running a wildly successful restaurant and catering business for 9 years in southwest Oklahoma, concerns about the Highway expansion encroaching on his business and a need to be closer to OKC for medical treatment for their daughter prompted Roy and his wife Stephanie (whom he married after she began working at the restaurant) to move their family (including 3 children at this point) to the Oklahoma City area and begin an insurance career. Roy built a hugely successful insurance agency on integrity, hard work and personal customer service. But the restaurant business kept calling him back over 17 years. The Cassada’s went on their honeymoon in 1998 to Estes Park, Colorado, and instantly fell in love with the mountains and kept looking and praying for opportunities to get to those higher elevations! Roy and their oldest son, Adam, visited Woodland Park during a fishing trip and loved the community here and spotted a place that would be perfect for a restaurant for us, but alas, it was unavailable. Fast forward to Christmas 2020 the Cassada’s vacation in Woodland Park and the Smokehouse is closed. Stephanie then spends the next several months stalking the commercial real estate in Woodland Park to see if it pops up and on a day in May 2021 it does. After many prayers , hurdles, course corrections, and plot twists, we were able to secure the Smokehouse building! We are so thankful and blessed to be part of the Woodland Park community and our crew (which now includes our 8 children) looks forward to working hard and serving this great town and its visitors the best food with the fastest service!
