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 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 and operate with soft openings. We thank you for your patience.

For now, we are only open on Sundays from 10AM - 2PM (or until sold out), with breakfast at 8AM. Please monitor our website and Instagram as we sometimes announce additional dates and events. Expect expanded hours and menu by the summer as renovations continue.

Note: Popular items sell out, sometimes by noon! We recommend arriving during the first half of our service hours to ensure a complete menu. Our regulars come early and place big orders!

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 restaurateurs.

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 always 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 watch parties to charitable fundraisers, camping trips, and pre-fixe dinner nights, we’re all about bringing people together.

We anticipate 3-4 service days by 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 :)

By nature of wood-smoked BBQ, we anticipate a 3-4 day schedule once fully operational.
