Mark your calendars, folks! Burning Tree Smokehouse is set to open its doors on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, bringing some mouth-watering barbecue to the heart of Birmingham’s Pepper Place district. If you’re a fan of grilled goodness and delicious flavors, you won’t want to miss this!
Location, Location, Location!
You’ll find this new culinary gem at 230 31st Street South, just a block east of popular spots like Blueprint on 3rd and Hop City Beer & Wine. It’s easily accessible and the perfect spot to grab a bite after shopping or enjoying a walk around the neighborhood.
Meet the Master Behind the Magic
The man behind this exciting venture is none other than Warren Webster, a seasoned chef and pitmaster with over 30 years of experience at Jim ’N Nick’s Bar-B-Q. His love for barbecue is sure to shine through in every dish served at Burning Tree. Alongside him is Luis Gomez, who has stepped in as the general manager to make sure everything runs smoothly from day one.
What’s on the Menu?
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds! The menu at Burning Tree Smokehouse will include a mouth-watering selection of barbecue mains such as brisket, pork, turkey, and ribs. But that’s not all. There will also be hearty sandwiches, tasty tacos, and satisfying plates to choose from! If you’re a fan of sides—as everyone should be—you can look forward to digging into collard greens, refreshing coleslaw, creamy mac and cheese, crispy fries, and tangy barbecue beans.
Come Dine With Us!
Burning Tree Smokehouse will be serving up delicious meals from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Whether you’re stopping by for lunch or dinner, you’ll have plenty of time to savor the smoky flavors. The restaurant features comfortable indoor dining, a lovely patio for outdoor enjoyment, and even an upper deck for those who want a higher perspective while they feast!
Fresh Concepts and Local Ties
What’s intriguing about this new venture is its tie to the Fresh Hospitality Group’s Fatback Pig Project. This project isn’t just talking the talk; it includes a premium pork farm, a processing plant, and a distribution center located near Decatur, Alabama. What’s even better? A second processing plant is set to open next month right next to Burning Tree Smokehouse. So, you can feel good knowing that your barbecue comes straight from a local source!
Bright Future Ahead
The opening of Burning Tree Smokehouse is an exciting leap into the culinary world, and Warren Webster mentioned that this restaurant was born out of having extra space while developing the processing plant. It’s set to be the first of potentially many more locations, depending on how well it does!
