We serve up hardwood-smoked meats, crispy sides, and no-BS Southern flavor. Pull up a chair. Wipe your hands on your jeans. And get ready to taste barbecue that plays louder than your truck stereo.

Fire It Up BBQ is a hidden gem! The smoked turkey and pulled pork were packed with flavor, and the variety of sauces let us customize every bite. The staff was super friendly, and the place had a clean, welcoming vibe. Can’t wait to go back for more!

Passing through the area and spotted this place. Friendly and fast service. Had the fresh salad with chicken that was great. Their sauces are all great. Bought a bottle of the gold rush for the road.
