"I know BBQ! As a former multiple KCBS Florida state champion, I usually find myself underwhelmed eating catering brisket. Top Notch served up some excellent Texas-style brisket and sausages. Highly recommend these fine folks for your next event!"

Our Story

Top Notch Smokehouse fired up its first local cook on October 14, 2021, but the wood smoke goes back a lot further than that. Our pitmasters bring 31 years of experience to every brisket, rack, and link that comes off the pit.

We do it Texas-style: low heat, real smoke, heavy bark, and patience. No shortcuts and no skimping. Superior food, generous portions, and honest value are the whole business plan.

Not sure what you want? Ask for a free sample — we'd rather you taste it than take our word for it. And if it isn't right, we stand behind a 100% money-back guarantee.
