Brakes & Briskets is a “Cars & BBQ” restaurant dedicated to premium, craft American smoked BBQ.

But we’re more than just great food - we create events and experiences. From curated car shows and Formula 1 watch parties to charitable fundraisers, camping trips, and pre-fixe dinner nights, we’re all about bringing people together.

Brakes & Briskets is a two-person operation. Every detail - from the BBQ to the branding, event planning, renovations, social media, and website - is handled by us.

We started this because we wanted to give back to the community by building the kind of inclusive spaces we wish we had growing up. And of course, to serve seriously good BBQ.

2025–2026 are construction years for us.

For now, we are only open on Sundays from 10AM - 3 PM, with light breakfast at 8AM (coffee and bagels). We’ll expand our hours as progress continues, but monitor our pages as we sometimes announce weekday evenings.

Note: We typically begin to sell out by 12pm despite smoking hundreds of pounds of meats. Therefore we highly recommend arriving during the first half of our service hours to ensure a complete menu. Our regulars come early!

We’re actively renovating our building and property, so we appreciate your patience during this exciting (and dusty) time.

No! Contrary to popular belief, we’re a BBQ restaurant first and foremost.

We began as private caterers, long before carving out a niche at pop-up automotive events. Now we’re stepping into a bold new chapter as restauranteurs.

Thanks to our loyal following of car enthusiasts, there’s always great eye candy to go with our smoky offerings. That said, you don’t need to own a showstopper to enjoy our food. Everyone is welcome at our restaurant and events - no matter what you drive (or don’t).

What else?
But we’re more than just great food and cool cars - we create events and experiences. From curated car shows and Formula 1 watch parties to charitable fundraisers, camping trips, and pre-fixe dinner nights, we’re all about bringing people together.

We anticipate being fully operational by next year, Summer 2026. In the meantime, we hope you’ll continue to visit and support us during our limited hours as we actively renovate our building and property.

Look forward to new changes every time you visit :)

Yes, both dine-in and takeout are available with 150+ seats indoors and outdoors.

BYOB
You may have noticed our restaurant has a bar! However, we currently do not serve alcohol nor permit BYOB.

Please note: We’re not currently partnered with third-party delivery services like DoorDash, Grubhub, or Uber Eats at this time.

On-Site Parking
We have ample parking space on our property on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We often have “themed” days and only ask that the front spots be reserved for the featured vehicles.

Please obey signage and respect the property and vehicles. Do not park on the grass unless you have been instructed.

Overflow Parking
In the event that our lot is full, we have the following additional options:

• Far Knoll Lane. You must leave ample room for through traffic for residents, emergency vehicles, etc.

• Central Ave. This street is located on the right after going down Far Knoll Lane. Please follow normal rules of traffic and do not block driveways or intersections.

• 409 US-22 (lot directly across from us). For safety reasons, this lot is only permitted with cops present who will escort you across the street. We will not be held liable if you park here under any other circumstances.

DO NOT PARK
Unfortunately, both of our next door neighbors have a zero tolerance parking policy that applies to ALL vehicles, not just “sports cars.” DO NOT park in their lots, even if they’re closed. We are not responsible for their actions.
