01 · How It Works

Come Early.
Come Hungry.

We don't take reservations and we don't have a phone. Barbecue is smoked low and slow for up to 24 hours, so we can't predict the exact minute the brisket is ready — service is first come, first served.

Here's the deal: join the waitlist on Google, order online through Toast, and when we're out, we're out. That's not a gimmick — it's what happens when every tray is smoked to order. Get here early and you eat like you own the place.

The Reality, In Three Lines
01
No Reservations
Walk in or join the Google waitlist. We hold the fire, not tables.
02
No Phone
Order online through Toast. Our hands are on the pit, not the receiver.
03
Smoked to Order
Every cut is smoked low and slow, up to 24 hours. Come early — the best goes first.
