Some things are worth waiting for.

Low and slow, the way it should be. Real smoke, real patience, real flavor — served with pride on Highway 63.

Born from patience,
built on flavor.

Rue's Barbecue started with a simple belief: that the best meals aren't rushed. In the heart of Jasper, we've been tending our smokers and perfecting our craft, one cut at a time.

Every brisket, every rib, every pound of pulled pork goes through hours of careful smoking over real wood. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the kind of food that makes you slow down, sit back, and remember what a real meal tastes like.

We're not the fastest spot in town — and that's the point. Good barbecue can't be hurried, and we'd rather do it right than do it fast.

The details matter.

Low & Slow

Our meats are smoked for hours — sometimes all day — until they're tender, smoky, and falling right off the bone. That's the only way we know how.

Homemade Sides

From our creamy mac and cheese to our tangy collard greens, every side is made from scratch in-house. The kind of comfort food that feels like home.

Community First
