Brisket Full Pan

**Brisket** Our brisket is slow-smoked to perfection over pecan wood, creating a rich, deep flavor with a tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Each slice is hand-cut to showcase its beautiful marbling and bold bark, developed from hours of low and slow cooking. Seasoned with our house rub and finished with just a touch of our signature sauce, this brisket delivers the perfect balance of smoky, savory, and satisfying in every bite — a true Southern classic done right.
