HOUSE-MADE SAUCES
Made to complement the meat. Never cover it up.
We put too much time into the smoke, seasoning and cook to bury it under sauce. Every Bones & Smoke sauce is made in-house to complement the meat — adding another layer of flavor without taking over.
The Core
THE STANDARD
Our signature tomato-forward BBQ sauce with bold black pepper, balanced sweetness and a touch of tang. The one that goes with everything.
SWEETNESS
Our sweeter BBQ sauce with rich, smoky sweetness up front and just enough bite on the finish to keep it balanced.
THE FURNACE
Chipotle, roasted jalapeño and serrano come together for a smoky heat that builds slowly and sticks around.
STOCKYARD GOLD
A tangy mustard-based sauce with honeyed sweetness, savory depth and just a little bite
TOSS IT
Built for wings. Just as good on our crispy bone-in chicken
RED ROOSTER
Creamy garlic buffalo with plenty of garlic and a smooth, lingering burn that keeps you coming back.
GARLIC & GRAND
Creamy garlic Parmesan packed with savory garlic and Parmesan, finished with fresh green onion.
LAKE EFFECT
Giardiniera oil, chipotle and garlic with a distinctly Chicago flavor and a slow-building burn. Choose Mild or Hot — then see if you can handle the Lake Effect.
SEASONAL FROM THE MIDWEST
The season decides what comes next.
Our seasonal sauces give us a chance to step outside our core lineup and work with flavors inspired by what’s happening here in the Midwest. We look to local and seasonal ingredients, familiar Midwest flavors, and the time of year to create limited-run sauces that still follow our rule: complement the food, never cover it up.
Past and rotating creations include Northbound, Bourbon Apple BBQ, and more.
