About

The menu centers on thick-cut, hand-carved brisket served on rye bread with yellow mustard and a signature pickle. Beyond the iconic smoked meat, the kitchen prepares flame-grilled burgers made from premium beef patties topped with classic fixings. The dining space features an unpretentious, casual environment designed for high-volume service and efficient delivery of hearty comfort food. Patrons encounter a straightforward approach to American-style barbecue traditions with a focus on generous portions and consistent flavor profiles. Every plate highlights a commitment to traditional preparation methods that prioritize texture and seasoning over modern culinary complexity. This establishment functions as a dedicated destination for those seeking a robust, no-frills encounter with high-quality smoked proteins and savory, well-executed grilled staples.

One of the best smoked meats you'll ever have served with the best fries...possibly on earth! (Author doesn't know what he's talking about, has not tried all fries on earth, but these are particularly phenomenal)

I love smoked meat & Pete's makes some of the best you can get! I haven't tried their other menu items, but have never been let down by the smoked meat sandwiches. I also enjoy the vibe & music they've made part of the experience. My one BIG complaint is the system they have for ordering & getting your food. For some reason, you have to wait in line to order at the counter, pay, & THEN hope you can find a table. That's a tall order as this place is often busy. This means you often have to stand in line for quite a while before ordering, instead of just comfortably sitting at a table & have someone come to take your order LIKE EVERY OTHER RESTAURANT ON EARTH! So you stand in line (why?) & after ordering & paying there is no guarantee that you'll even find a table to sit at. Then, with music blaring, the wait staff wanders around the restaurant holding your plates, yelling your name hoping you might hear & waive them down. I find this really takes away from the overall experience. Just do it like every other restaurant. It works.
