Short Stop Food Mart Win in 3 Categories:

Best Convenience Store   •   Best BBQ   •   Best Pie

Here is what it takes to make our Award Winning BBQ.

• Pork: 600 pounds
• Ribs: 120 slabs
• Burgers, brats, chicken breasts, and hot dogs:Countless.
• 100 lbs Kingsford charcoal

Every Thursday we stock all of that plus extras (including house-made cole slaw and fudge) for our Thursday Barbeques. All meat comes from The Butcher’s Block and is dry-rubbed at using a recipe developed over 30 years by Tom Vernon, the father of Smith’s best friend. It’s served Carolina-style, meaning sauce—Sweet and Tangy or Hot and Spicy, both made in Short Stop’s own kitchen—is on the side.

We have people coming from all over town to try our ribs and pulled pork. It’s like a party here on Thursdays.

There’s something scrumptious and home-made every day of the week— biscuits and gravy, roasted potato-cheddar-bacon soup, and many more comfort food favorites you’ll be shocked to find if you think Short Stop is a run-of-the-mill convenience store. We do simple, great food at a reasonable price.

Barbeque hours: 10:30 am-6 pm Thursdays from April through October.
