Decker Barbecue is based on the simple premises of honest cooking and authenticity. Focus is quality meats, the time-honoured tradition of low and slow smoking, honest pricing, and Southern hospitality. Although the meat is simply prepared and seasoned with salt and pepper, the magic happens in the custom-built smoker.
The brisket and ribs are left to cook for over 14 hours each and every day. Order the beef brisket and delicious pulled pork. On weekends, Decker offers a massive 700g beef rib which just falls of the bone - a great crowd pleasure. There are plenty of sides to accompany your choice including jalapeno cheddar cornbread and their classic potato salad.
