If you’ve ever walked into a place and thought, “I came for the drinks, but now I’m starving,” this is your spot. At Full Throttle Distillery Smoke House & Grill, the food matters just as much as what’s in your glass.

Yes, we’re known for whiskey, moonshine, and vodka made right here, but if you only stop by for a drink, you’re missing something great. If you are wondering what to eat at Full Throttle Distillery, here’s what’s on the menu, what people love, and how to get the most out of your meal when you visit.

Smoked Meats Everyone Talks About

Let’s start with the heavy hitters. Our brisket is slow-smoked and full of flavor. People come back for it again and again. If pulled pork is more your style, it’s tender, juicy, and served with our house-made BBQ sauce.

Prefer ribs? They’re cooked to be fall-apart tender, with just the right blend of smoky and sweet. 

Try it with: a whiskey flight. The deep flavors work well with our boldest pours.

Burgers & Sliders That Hit the Spot

If you’re looking for a classic, go with our burgers. The bacon cheddar is a favorite. Or try the pulled pork sliders, they’re easy to share and packed with flavor.

Fries come standard, but we always suggest adding mac and cheese if you’re feeling extra hungry. It’s creamy, cheesy, and never disappoints.

Vegan or Looking for Lighter Plates? No Problem

We offer fresh salads and veggie-forward plates for those who prefer something lighter. And if you need changes, our team is happy to help.

Try it with: a vodka cocktail for a clean, crisp pairing.
