Overview

About This Establishment

Post-hike vibes meet smoky fire at Spitfire Smokehouse + Taps. The brisket bark cracks under the bite, with a juicy interior and peppery punch; mac and cheese arrives thick, creamy, with a sly kiss of spice. The three-meat platter stacks brisket, pulled pork, and tri-tip in smoky harmony, each slice savory and deeply smoked. Indoor seating or dog-friendly patio, and live music threads through the scene.
