Low & Slow,Smoked Till It's Gone
Brisket with a deep smoke ring, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and scratch-made sides, all smoked over real wood right here in small-town Hinckley. The kind of plate that needs extra napkins.

What sets us apart
- 01
Real Wood, Real Smoke
Everything goes low and slow over real wood for hours, building a deep smoke ring and bark you can only get from patience.
- 02
Brisket Worth the Wait
Hand-trimmed and smoked overnight until it's tender enough to pull apart with a fork, sliced fresh to order.
- 03
Scratch-Made Sides
Mac & cheese, baked beans, slaw, and cornbread made from scratch in our kitchen, never scooped from a can.
- 04
Smoked Daily Till It's Gone
We smoke fresh every morning and sell it till it runs out, so come early and get it while it lasts.



We're an independent smokehouse on East Lincoln Avenue, cooking real wood-smoked BBQ the way it's meant to be done.
South Moon BBQ is about one thing: doing it right and doing it slow. Every brisket, rack of ribs, and pork shoulder is rubbed, fired over real wood, and smoked for hours until the bark is dark and the smoke ring runs deep. There are no shortcuts back here, just time, smoke, and a watchful eye on the pit.
Our sides are made from scratch the same way, from creamy mac & cheese to slow-cooked baked beans and cornbread pulled warm from the oven. We smoke fresh every day in small-town Hinckley and serve it till it's gone, so when you find a plate in front of you, grab a few extra napkins and dig in.
