We specialize in North Carolina Style BBQ, specifically Eastern North Carolina style, featuring meats smoked over hickory and served with a cider vinegar sauce.

In 2009, Kelley launched her own venture, opening her first barbecue location on Lawrence Street in Baltimore. After several successful years, she relocated her business to South Charles Street, a more prominent and thriving area, where she operated a successful restaurant and bar.

As her career evolved, Kelley later moved to Millersville, where she grew her business into multiple food trucks and a full-service catering operation. While her passion for smoked cuisine developed into a true craft—earning her the title of Pitmaster—her expertise extends far beyond barbecue. Kelley offers a full spectrum of cuisine, from pit beef and pulled pork to crab cakes and steamed shrimp, as well as elevated dishes like pork tenderloin and prime rib.

Today, Kelley Stewart continues to build her reputation for exceptional food, versatility, and consistency, bringing her experience and signature style to every event she serves.
