Stookey’s Famous Bar-B-Que | Applewood smoked tradition since 1926 in Nanticoke
Stookey’s Famous Bar-B-Que in Nanticoke has been smoking meats over applewood and serving up their legendary BBQ sandwiches since 1926. What began as a roadside stand operated by Ralph and Margaret Stookey on Route 11 is now a third-generation, family-owned restaurant known far and wide for its time-honored recipes and signature secret sauce. From takeout to dine-in to nationwide shipping, Stookey’s continues to bring authentic, applewood-smoked flavor to barbecue lovers across the country.
Smoked fresh daily, the menu centers around pork, beef, turkey, and ham—each slow-smoked to perfection and topped with the Stookey family’s signature relish and sauce. Sandwiches are available on classic sandwich rolls, Texas toast, rye, or as wraps. You can even order your sandwich with extra meat or double portions. Customers looking for variety can enjoy smoked kielbasa sandwiches, homemade chili, hot dogs, hearty soups, or BBQ bowls layered with baked potatoes, meat, cheese, and sauce. Lighter options include garden and side salads.
Menu Highlights
The famous smoked pork sandwich remains the star, but popular picks include the glazed ham sandwich, smoked kielbasa on a bun, and BBQ bowls featuring combinations like smoked beef and cheddar over a baked potato. Every dish is served with the same slow-smoked quality and rich flavors that have defined the Stookey’s name for nearly 100 years.
Stookey’s Famous Bar-B-Que in West Nanticoke continues a proud family tradition of applewood-smoked meats, scratch-made sauces, and warm hospitality.
