Important updates! We have been smoking our meats in a unique process for almost 20 years and know that process is as much art as science, every piece of meat is slightly different. It is with a heavy heart that we are closing our location at 2929 S. State Street. By consolidating our servers, cooks, and pitmasters to one location, we can manage our operations to give our customers the best Pat’s BBQ experience that they have been enjoying for decades. We are sincerely lucky to have the most loyal customers- shout out to all of you!

Next up- We are expanding our hours!
Now open Monday-Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Did we also mention we have added additional menu items?! Appetizers, desserts, vegetarian items and an expanded drink menu. We are excited about these updates and hope you are too.

Visit us at our original location 155 W. Commonwealth. See y’all soon!

Keep supporting us over the holidays by ordering a Thanksgiving meal kit (details on another post). Link to order here: https://forms.gle/poLHYXeFtQnuBoJ78

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel
Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
You screamed at the make-believe, screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage to let it all go
Remembering you, fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes, but I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world that I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
My pictures of you
