While we are a American BBQ restaurant we believe that these items in addition to salads, sides and chips help vegetarian and vegans to come in with friends or even in their own. Some people do take issue with the whole American BBQ thing with the amount of meat we produce, and we thank them for their opinion and suggest that this place is not for them. We try to support people with our vegetarian options, but we also really take pride in our slow-smoked meat abilities. That’s why we bring the same level of detail and care to our vegetarian options and the Vrisket.

Our delicious spice rubs and smoking process turns the plant-based meats to be absolutely delicious and we are so excited for you to try them, even if you aren’t vegetarian.
