We slow-smoke our meats the right way, using custom Beck Built Smokers and time-honored techniques that bring out deep, authentic flavor. Our menu stays true to who we are—simple, honest, homemade food—with rotating specials that keep things exciting.

We don’t fry anything. Instead, we focus on from-scratch sides, fresh-baked desserts, and quality ingredients that feel like home. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick bite, picking up a catering order, or trying us for the first time, we want every guest to feel welcomed, appreciated, and well fed.

When You’re Happy, We’re Happy

This place is awesome! The food is amazing and affordable. I live a few hundred feet from the “little red garage” where the smokers are. I looked out side today and above the garage written in smoke was “Dan you need to get over here and eat” DELICIOUS!!

BBQ and Baker – Coal City

Yummy! I had the flavorful chili with cornbread, creamy mac and cheese, and a s’mores bar for dessert — everything was delicious. The flavors were spot on, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into each dish. A great addition to the Coal City restaurant scene — can’t wait to go back and try more!

Congratulations Tracey Baker!!

When we say this is happy belly food, it's absolutely no lie. Only problem is that I think we're going to end up sleeping here, cuz now we can't move.

Everything is delicious, so get your butts down to Coal City, stat!
