Dishes & Signatures
- Prime cuts from Creekstone Farms and Compart Family Farms are smoked over red oak, giving them a distinct hue
- Signatures are the brisket and beef ribs—the latter divine, succulent and flavorsome with a lasting smoked tone
- Sides are worth a try: memorable pinto beans and loaded baked potatoes; tacos with green-chile ranch and fruit cobblers are best saved for a second visit
