What to Order
Pit-Smoked Brisket
Thin, caramelized bark yields to tender, smoky meat that's seasoned simply and smoked low and slow for maximum depth.
House-Made Sausage
A coarse grind and bold spice mix produce juicy links with a snap, perfect alongside mustard and pickles.
Scratch Sides Selection
Classic Southern-accented sides — think creamy potato salad and tangy slaw — made from scratch to balance the rich meats.
