Brakes & Briskets is a “Cars & BBQ” restaurant in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey offering premium wood-smoked craft BBQ, event production, merchandising, and catering. We specialize in large-scale automotive events and redefine Cars & BBQ with our curated shows and smoked BBQ in a family-friendly space. With a strong focus on community and audience engagement, we unite both automotive and food enthusiasts of all ages.

But we’re more than just great food and cool cars - we create events and experiences. From curated car shows and Formula 1 watch parties to charitable fundraisers, camping trips, and pre-fixe dinner nights, we’re all about bringing people together.

Our journey began with a humble brisket, seasoned simply and smoked slowly until it reached mouthwatering tenderness. Today, our pit crew crafts all your BBQ classics including beef jerky, deli meats, flavorful sauces, and a few surprises to jumpstart your taste buds. Whether it’s an automotive show, corporate event, family gathering, birthday party, wedding reception, or personal meal prep… we’ve got your back for smoked perfection.

Check out our upcoming events and media from past events.

IMPORTANT: Our restaurant is under active construction and renovation through 2026. We expect to be fully operational by Summer 2026. During this period, we are not doing pop-up events.

For now, our restaurant is open Sundays only from 10AM - 2PM (or until sold out). We will gradually expand our hours and menu as renovation progresses. Monitor our website and socials for updates!

how do we smoke the competition?

Brakes & Briskets throws down the gauntlet, smoking the competition with our live cuttings and unmistakable presence. Fueled by a custom-built offset smoker, our BBQ is infused with a curated blend of rubs (fondly named “brake dust”) and seasoned wood, yielding a flavor and texture that's simply unrivaled. Through our low and slow technique, we craft an irresistible bark and smoke ring that speaks volumes. Our unique service approach allows us to deliver high volume quickly without compromising quality.

Think you can find BBQ that looks AND tastes as good as ours? Shift into gear and try, but be warned - you'll be craving our next brisket before you've even savored the first bite!
