Something wicked is coming off the smoker

For three nights only, we’re firing up big, meaty beef back ribs – the kind that haunts you until you come back for more. Here’s the part that ought to scare you: we only smoke so many racks, and once they vanish, they’re gone till next time.

Lone Goblin, $27 | 3 Meaty Beef Back Ribs, 2 Sides, Bread

Thriller Filler, $70 | 1 Rack Meaty Beef Back Ribs, 2 Pints Sides, 1/2 Loaf Bread

Pit Beast, $125 | 2 Racks Meaty Beef Back Ribs, 3 Pints Sides, Loaf Bread

 

 

You Celebrate, We Serve

Holiday parties and end-of-year get-togethers have a way of getting busy fast. If you’d rather not spend the night refilling trays or answering “where’s the sauce?” our staffed buffet is the move. We bring the crew, set everything up, keep the line stocked, and make sure your guests are taken care of from start to finish.

You keep the stories going. We’ll keep the plates full.

The Turkey They Wait For All Year

Our honey-brined birds are smoked low and slow until they’re tender, juicy, and ready to earn a spot in the middle of your table. Pick one up hot and ready, bring it home, and take all the credit—we won’t tell.  Pre-orders begin October 5th, and these birds have a habit of selling out by November, so don’t wait too long.

Thanksgiving Day pickup only

It’s another great day to be together
