The Bombers BBQ Menu is more than just a list of smoked meats—it’s a story of flavor, family, and small-town pride. Founded in 2009 in Munster, Indiana, by Brian Welsch, Bombers BBQ began as a passion project fueled by backyard cookouts and a love for authentic barbecue. As time goes by, the restaurant’s fame spreads across Northwest Indiana and Chicago for its tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and handcrafted sauces.
As Bombers BBQ grew, so did its menu variety, offering everything from smoked turkey sandwiches to pulled pork platters and signature mac & cheese sides.
Yet, many locals don’t realize there’s also a secret Bombers BBQ menu—featuring limited-run specials like burnt ends and custom brisket melts that never make the board.
Even after all these years, the original slow-smoked brisket remains the heart of Bombers BBQ—a timeless favorite that keeps fans coming back for that perfect bite of smoke, spice, and nostalgia.
