Southern Tradition, Smoked to Perfection

At Smoke It Up Food Truck, we believe great food starts with great tradition. Specializing in authentic South Carolina-style BBQ, we smoke our meats low and slow using a state-of-the-art gravity feed smoker that delivers rich, smoky flavor and unbeatable tenderness.

The Menu

Our menu is a celebration of Southern comfort and BBQ craftsmanship:

• Smoked Meats: Pulled pork, smoked chicken, and fall-off-the-bone ribs
• Homestyle Sides: Mac & cheese, yellow rice, baked beans, and green beans
• BBQ with a Twist: Sandwiches, wraps, and nachos for lighter or on-the-go options
• Sweet Finish: Our famous, scratch-made peach cobbler, just like grandma used to make
