Make dad smile this Father’s Day weekend 🍖

We’re stacking the table with slow-smoked meats, classic sides, and enough barbeque to keep dad happy all weekend. Whether you’re grabbing the Lil’ Daddy or going all in with the Big Daddy, we’ve got Father’s Day covered so nobody has to spend the weekend standing over the grill.

Preorders are highly recommended because the good stuff goes fast.

THE WAY TO DAD’S HEART? BARBEQUE.

Give dad something he actually wants this year. Buy a $50 gift card and receive a $10 bonus card to use later this summer because good barbeque usually turns into a second trip. Perfect for Father’s Day dinners, summer weekends, and anyone who always orders extra ribs.

Bonus cards valid June 22nd–August 21st. Valid for in-store gift card purchases only.

Swing by Salinas City BBQ and grab one before Father’s Day rolls around.

You Celebrate, We Serve

Graduation parties and summer get-togethers have a way of getting busy fast. If you’d rather not spend the day refilling trays or answering “where’s the sauce?” our staffed buffet is the move. We bring the crew, set everything up, keep the line stocked, and make sure your guests are taken care of from start to finish. You focus on celebrating. We’ll handle the BBQ.

It’s another great day to be together

When the beer is cold and the pits are hot, people tend to gather. That’s a truth as old as time, and one that’s near and dear to our hearts. Grab a friend, a beer, and a seat, and join us in celebrating the power of fire and time in the most authentic way possible.
