“It’s been a goal of mine for quite some time to open a second location, and I couldn’t be happier to have found a home within the Doylestown community,” said Tom Peters, pitmaster and owner of Holy ‘Que Smokehouse. “We’re very much looking forward to this next chapter, and can’t wait for folks to spend the summer with us while getting a taste of authentic, Texas-style barbeque.”

Peters and team will be posted on the patio behind the Hop/Scotch cocktail bar every weekend this summer with a weekly rotation of select Texas-style BBQ and complementing sides. Think slow-cooked meats such as brisket, pulled pork, turkey, and ribs, and heaping portions of signature side dishes such as mac ‘n’ cheese, honey cornbread, pinto beans, and more.
