As the weather cools down and the days grow shorter, there’s nothing quite like some good old-fashioned comfort food to warm up the winter nights. 

This time of year, Dead End BBQ’s menu heats up with dishes that promise to thaw the chilliest days and brighten the seasonal blues. Let’s dig into a few heartwarming selections that are perfect for the winter months.

It’s Officially Soup Season 

Our fan-favorite Hillbilly Chili is a seasonal must-have that feels like a warm embrace for your taste buds. This isn’t just any chili—it’s a robust blend of ground beef, our famous burnt ends, beans, and secret spices that simmer for hours to make it oh-so hearty and help you fend off the cold.

If you’re looking for an even heartier option, our Smokehouse Stew (our twist on Brunswick Stew) is just the thing. We’re talkin’ tender pieces of smoked chicken, pork, sausage, AND our burnt ends with fresh vegetables and potatoes. This flavor-packed favorite is the perfect antidote on any dreary day!

Tender Beef Ribs with Buffalokra: A Seasonal Dynamic Duo

Nothing can chase away a winter funk like slow-cooked, fall-off-the-bone tender beef ribs. This seasonal treat only comes around this time of year, so you don’t want to miss it. We’re talking about ribs so juicy and succulent you don’t need any utensils.

Of course, we can’t resist making things a little more southern and zesty! Pair your ribs with a side of our beloved buffalokra. It’s our take on that down-home staple, fried okra. We fry our okra fresh and toss them in buffalo sauce to create a flavor that’s both comforting and satisfying.

Warm Up to Winter with Spicy Wings

Rounding out our chilly weather champions are the Spicy Wings, a fiery favorite that’s part of our year-round lineup. These aren’t the wings you’ll find at your neighborhood sports bar. We start with the highest-quality chicken wings, coat them with our signature rub, and smoke them for at least four hours, then crisp them to perfection upon order. 

Enjoy these premium wings any way you like: naked or sauced with your choice of classic Buffalo, spicy BBQ, or for the truly brave, our Dead Hot sauce. Pro tip: ask about our Brisket Rub tossed option!
