Smoke rises.
Flavor settles.

Low & slow over real oak and hickory. Craft cocktails poured with intention. Live music on select nights. This is not fast food — it is food that asked for your patience and earned it.

Smoky BBQ pit with meat slowly cooking over oak wood

Built on patience,
driven by smoke

Chow Haul Smokehouse started with a simple conviction: real barbecue cannot be rushed. Every cut of meat is seasoned, smoked, and rested on its own timeline — never forced, never hurried.

Our pit is fueled by locally sourced oak and hickory. Our bar features craft cocktails made from scratch with house-infused spirits and seasonal ingredients. When the kitchen closes, the music starts — live sets on weekends that turn dinner into a night out.
