This is my first time; how do I order? How does this work?
Don’t worry, we got you. We can break down our menu to a few different categories which are Meats, Sides, Breads & Desserts, Drinks and Specials. Our menu is a la carte so you can pick exactly what you want. Ordering meats is like ordering at a meat deli, the biggest difference, is that it’s smoked. We will weigh out the weight amount you request as best as possible, show you the amount of meat on our scale, and confirm whether you would like more or less. Do not hesitate to add on an extra slice or bone, we encourage you to be as specific as possible. Feel free to add on one of our rotating sides and an item from our specials!
