The story behind our name and how it all began

Woodpeckers Backyard Bbq started with a passion for bold barbecue flavors and an appreciation for no-frills, high-quality food. The concept was built around backyard-style comfort—simple, hearty meals served in a welcoming space where flavor and hospitality come first. Every plate reflects that founding spirit, with hand-rubbed meats, slow smoking techniques, and down-home sides that speak for themselves.

Real barbecue done right: our signature menu style

The heart of our kitchen is the smoker. Our ribs are seasoned and smoked to tender perfection, served alongside buttery toast and your choice of sauces. Brisket slices are full of rich, smoky flavor, while smoked sausage adds a savory kick. Popular sides like mac & cheese, baked beans with black beans, creamy corn with bacon, collard greens, and crunchy coleslaw round out each tray. The sauce bar lets guests customize every bite.
