☀️🥵 Closed Today (July 2)

Family, due to the ongoing heat wave, we’re currently experiencing some unexpected A/C issues here at SYM. While we’re working to get everything resolved as quickly as possible, the safety of our customers and staff has to come first. ❤️

Because of the extreme temperatures, we’ve made the decision to close for today while we work to get our air conditioning back up and running.

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support. We’ll keep everyone updated, but as of right now, we plan to be back serving y’all tomorrow! 🙏🏾

Until then, stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe! 💙💧

See y’all soon… and we’ll have those plates waiting. 🍽️🔥

THIS SATURDAY‼️

🔥 SATURDAY, JUNE 20TH 🔥

We’re doing something a little different this Juneteenth weekend.

SYM has partnered with Chico’s Smokehouse for our first-ever Juneteenth Smokehouse Menu featuring slow-smoked brisket, ribs, smoked chicken, pork belly bites, family packs, and more!

Chico will be smoking on-site, and because great BBQ takes time, quantities are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

🚨 Pre-orders are strongly encouraged!

To place a pre-order, send a DM to:


Whether you’re feeding the family, hosting a cookout, or just craving some real smoked BBQ, we’ve got you covered.
