Atmosphere
What to Order
5 dishes
Smoked Brisket
The benchmark item at any BBQ spot — look for a visible smoke ring and tender pull without falling apart entirely
Pork Ribs
Meaty, smoke-kissed ribs that are a reliable crowd-pleaser at this price range
Pulled Pork
Shredded pork that soaks up the house smoke and sauce well — a solid second-order choice if brisket runs out
BBQ Chicken
Smoked chicken that tends to be the most accessible protein for mixed groups; check for moisture and smoke penetration
Classic Sides
Coleslaw, mac and cheese, baked beans, and cornbread — the supporting cast that separates good BBQ spots from great ones; order generously
