Southern Barbecue Menu (Update Menu 2026)

Southern Barbecue has been serving smoky goodness since its humble beginnings in the 1950s, when founder James “Big Jim” Harper opened a small roadside shack in the heart of the South. What started as a one-pit operation quickly became a community gathering spot, where neighbors lined up for tender pulled pork and tangy vinegar-based sauces. In due course, Southern Barbecue expanded from that single shack into multiple locations, yet it never lost its down-home charm.

The menu grew alongside its reputation, adding ribs, brisket, and fried sides that captured the essence of true Southern comfort. Today, fans rave not only about the classics but also about the secret menu—items like smoked turkey sandwiches with special sauce or hush puppies with a fiery twist, known only to loyal regulars. Still, the original slow-smoked pulled pork remains the signature dish, loved just as much now as it was generations ago.
