Recently planning Cuban sandwiches, I walked over to Bonfire (only 10 minutes away) to purchase a pound of pulled pork. The meat was excellent and the service outstanding. When they found out I was walking back home they carefully insulated and bagged my food. It got home still very warm despite the cold January weather!
We will be going back!

Bonfire Old-Fashioned BBQ absolutely delivers. The service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish, the kind of place where you actually feel glad you stopped in.

The barbecue was outstanding. Easily some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and clearly made with care. You can tell this isn’t rushed or mass-produced BBQ. It’s the real deal.

Between the quality of the food...

This was an amazing meal. The cornbread is the best I've ever eaten. The brisket was absolutely perfect; tender, flavorful and a generous portion. The BBQ sauce is so good as well. Lastly, the deep fried cornbread with homemade maple bourbon pudding is to die for. The owners came out to speak with us and treated us with the cornbread. We cannot wait to come back.
