Brakes & Briskets is a Cars & BBQ business in Central New Jersey offering premium wood-smoked craft BBQ, event production, merchandising, and catering for private and corporate events. We specialize in large-scale automotive events and redefine Cars & BBQ with our curated shows and smoked BBQ in a family-friendly space. With a strong focus on community and audience engagement, we unite both automotive and food enthusiasts of all ages.

Our journey began with a humble brisket, seasoned simply and smoked slowly until it reached mouthwatering tenderness. Today, our pit crew crafts all your BBQ classics including beef jerky, deli meats, flavorful sauces, and a few surprises to jumpstart your taste buds. Whether it’s an automotive show, corporate event, family gathering, birthday party, wedding reception, or personal meal prep… we’ve got your back for smoked perfection.

how do we smoke the competition?

Brakes & Briskets throws down the gauntlet, smoking the competition with our signature approach and unmistakable presence. Fueled by a custom-built classic offset smoker, our BBQ is infused with a curated blend of rubs (fondly named “brake dust”) and seasoned wood, yielding a flavor and texture that's simply unrivaled. Through our low and slow technique, we craft an irresistible bark and smoke ring that speaks volumes.

Think you can find BBQ that looks AND tastes as good as ours? Shift into gear and try, but be warned - you'll be craving our next brisket before you've even savored the first bite!
