Therefore the logo is a combination of the poppin' smoke from a gr***de and a grill as we have the intention to do smoked meats occasionally as we know you all love that. You fell in love with our smoked BBQ now come fall in love with the rest of our southern-ness! We are family-owned and operated - with southern family recipes! Come down and say, "hi" to Chip, Christine, and our amazing staff! One of the most profound outpourings of love is to feed and provide sustenance to others. We strive to offer the finest ingredients, with the utmost freshness, in a comfortable environment. You're family around here, and if something's not right, be sure to let us know. Growing up in Alabama, it seemed like every family had their favorite supper place. Loyalty ran deep and arguments often became heated over which joint was the best. Everyone thinks of the food when they stake their claim to a particular restaurant, but I found something more at my first favorite spot. It was a rather unassuming location tucked inside a gas station. It was only open late at night until the wee hours of the morning in one of the roughest parts of Birmingham. Ira, the owner, worked a regular day job and loved to cook so much, that he moonlighted as a BBQ pitmaster. I think he found it good therapy for the soul. There was no inside seating, everyone gathered, around side by side, in full acceptance of each other, with one thing in common; enjoying Ira's BBQ. I learned more about life sitting at those picnic tables at midnight than I did probably anywhere else. That's when I realized this wasn't just a genre, it was a life lesson. As he has now passed away, Ira is Tired no more, but his life lessons and passion will live on and we will do our best to honor it and maybe pass along a little of his therapy for the soul to you. Smoke. Time. Passion. Family. Chip, Christine, Piper and Keltie
