MOOREFIELD, W.Va. - s4story -- The community is invited to join South Branch Smokehouse for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony held in partnership with the Hardy County Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday, May 14, 2026, at 3:30 PM.  The celebration is open to the public and will feature complimentary samples of the Smokehouse's signature slow-smoked meats, including brisket and pulled pork, and house-made sides.

Located conveniently next to the South Branch Inn and The Bearded Hen Pub, South Branch Smokehouse offers a versatile menu designed to appeal to every palate. While the kitchen excels in Texas-style BBQ, and expertly smoked meats, it is far more than a traditional "BBQ joint." The diverse menu features grilled entrees, fresh salads, street tacos, and signature dishes like Grilled Chicken Monterey and Peach Moonshine Pork Chops.

What truly sets the dining experience apart is the restaurant's commitment to authentic, handcrafted flavors; guests can customize their meals with a large variety of house-made BBQ sauces and proprietary dry rubs, all developed in-house to create a flavor profile unique to the South Branch Valley.

Commitment to local quality is at the heart of the experience. All hamburgers are crafted using locally sourced beef from the South Branch Meat and Cattle Company. To round out the meal, the restaurant has partnered with local favorite Sweet Rose Ice Cream to feature their premium scoops alongside a variety of house-made desserts.

By partnering with local producers like South Branch Meat and Cattle and Sweet Rose Ice Cream, we're ensuring that our guests get a true taste of the unique flavors our region has to offer."
