Rooks Tavern specializes in dry-rub barbecue and fire-kissed comfort food. The University District restaurant centers around an open-fire grill and two solid wood smokers. A full bar features local craft beers, select bourbons, and signature cocktails. Carnivores, omnivores, and herbivores welcome.
We grill and smoke high-quality, regionally sourced meat and vegetables. The standard barbecue menu includes chopped beef, pulled pork, and pork ribs. Beef ribs are featured at the end of the week (Friday and Saturday) and brisket is the star of Sunday brunch.
