Sunrise BBQ

Known For
Smoke-kissed comfort food in a room that surprises with its warmth
Sunrise BBQ wraps its local favorite status in a bright and airy interior that defies every expectation of what a BBQ spot looks like. The floral decor adds an unexpected softness to smoke-forward plates that absolutely don't need it — but benefit anyway.
🕐Best time to visit: when the brisket comes off the smoker, around opening time
Our Take
The bright, airy interior and floral touches give Sunrise BBQ a surprisingly warm aesthetic for a spot with BBQ in the name, and that eggs benny following speaks to a kitchen that takes brunch seriously. It's a pleasant local find, though not quite the kind of place you'd reroute a road trip for.
