About Kiss of Smoke BBQ
Kiss of Smoke BBQ is a family-owned and operated Tucson smokehouse and catering business. Located in Tucson, the business serves slow-smoked barbecue meats, fresh sides, fries, and house-made barbecue sauces. Its food is prepared in the style of competition barbecue, reflecting the owners' background as an award-winning competition barbecue team.
The business began with a barbecue hobby that grew through competition cooking. After enjoying that experience, the family decided to bring its barbecue to the streets of Tucson. Kiss of Smoke says its food has been shaped by 10 years of national and local barbecue competitions, where the team received multiple awards. That competition background remains part of the restaurant's approach to preparing and serving its meats.
Kiss of Smoke rubs its meats with house-made signature rubs, then smokes them low and slow to develop a smoky flavor and tenderness. Diners can choose to eat the meats with either of the business's two house-made barbecue sauces, a regular sauce or a spicy sauce. The meats are served with fresh sides, including chipotle bacon coleslaw, along with other side options. The restaurant's relaxed, all-day smokehouse format offers barbecue as a meal in Tucson, with service continuing while food is available.
In addition to its restaurant menu, Kiss of Smoke offers catering for weddings, birthdays, luncheons, and other events. The business describes its catering as a way to bring its competition-style barbecue to gatherings throughout the area. Its catering menu provides another setting for the same smoked meats, signature rubs, sauces, and sides featured in its restaurant service.
Kiss of Smoke invites Tucson diners and event hosts to explore its restaurant and catering menus online, order online, or reach out with questions.
