Craft barbecue meets the coolest backyard in Lake Charles. We serve Texas-style barbecue with Louisiana Flair. Our food is smoked over a live-wood fire in our giant red smokers. We serve from the best ingredients to deliver to you something tender, flavorful, and fun. Whether it's melt-in-your-mouth brisket or our signature ribs, we have something for you. Hey, we've even converted a few vegetarians to our ways of meat cooked low and slow. Isn't it time that you got on #theRibList?
