Sauce is optional,
flavor is not.

Choate BBQ

At Choate BBQ, we’re not just serving up plates of food—we’re sharing our passion for simply great barbecue, done right. Around here, we believe that when you smoke it low and slow, with care and craftsmanship, the meat should do all the talking. That’s why we live by our motto: “Sauce Optional.”

It’s more than a catchphrase; it’s who we are. We don’t hide behind heavy sauces or shortcuts. We have spent hours tending the fires and perfecting each cut, from our tender, smoky brisket to the melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork. We let the natural flavors shine, because we know that great barbecue doesn’t need to be dressed up—it stands on its own.

Now, don’t get us wrong—we know some folks love a little extra kick or a hint of sweetness. That’s why we offer a range of house-made sauces, from tangy and sweet to bold and spicy. But the choice is yours: smother it, dip it, or skip it altogether. No judgment here. Either way, you’re in for a mouthwatering experience that’s as authentic as it gets.

We’re big on quality, sourcing the best ingredients and supporting local whenever we can. It’s not about cutting corners—it’s about creating food that feels like home, with flavors that make you want to pull up a chair and stay awhile.

We’re going back to our roots, bringing our barbecue straight to you with our food truck and catering services. Whether you catch us on the road or book us for your next event, we’re here to serve up the same smoky goodness you know and love. At Choate BBQ, sauce is always optional—but unforgettable flavor? That’s mandatory.
