Southern Smoke BBQ began as a humble roadside joint founded by pitmaster Chris Shepherd in the heart of the South. What started as a small smokehouse in the early 2000s quickly drew crowds with its rich, slow-smoked flavors and authentic hospitality. With the passing of time, the restaurant expanded, adding more seating, catering services, and even pop-up events that brought its legendary barbecue to a wider audience.
The menu has evolved from simple plates of brisket and ribs to a full lineup of hearty sandwiches, loaded sides, and signature sauces. Locals know and love the popular items, but few realize there’s also a secret menu—hidden gems that long-time fans whisper about, from special off-the-menu cuts to experimental smoked creations. Still, through all the growth and changes, Southern Smoke’s original signature brisket remains the crown jewel, a timeless classic that continues to win hearts today.
