The Kind
of BBQ
That Gets On Your Shirt
Low and Slow. Loud and Proud.
Low and Slow. Loud and Proud.
Frankies Bar-be-que is not trying to win awards. It is trying to feed you something you will still be thinking about on the drive home. We smoke our meats low and slow over real wood, the way it has always been done, until the bark is thick, the smoke ring runs deep, and the meat pulls apart without apology. No shortcuts. No timers. Just fire, patience, and flavor you can feel. Pull up a seat, grab some napkins, and get into it.
Settle in at the pit with a full tray of smoked meats, sides piled high, and the kind of casual comfort that makes a Tuesday feel like a celebration.
Call ahead or walk up. We will have your order ready to roll so you can get back to whatever important thing you were doing, except now with great BBQ.
Frankies feeds a crowd like nobody's business. Graduations, tailgates, office parties, family reunions. We bring the smoke to you. Ask us about trays and whole meats by the pound.
We are open six days a week, smoking from open to close. Come hungry and bring friends.
