Owner and pitmaster Andrew Darneille’s Arlington restaurant offers all the usual smokehouse favorites but also a slew of “modern barbecue” items such as smoked crab cakes, smoked salmon, and smoked spaghetti squash. Traditional favorites include St. Louis-style ribs and pulled pork. Pair the dishes with specialty cocktails, beer, or coffee in the expansive indoor and patio dining areas.
