The Pop's story

Smoke is the
secret ingredient.

Pop’s has built a Milwaukee following from a food trailer, a serious smoker and years of showing up with barbecue that speaks for itself.

Memphis style. Milwaukee loved.
01

Low and slow

Ribs, rib tips, pork, chicken and brisket cooked with timing, smoke and experience—not shortcuts.

02

Built from the truck up

A food-truck success story fueled by repeat customers, community events and plates worth tracking down.

The people behind the smoke

All in God's planning.

Pop’s is family owned and family run — the same people you’ll find at the window, at the smoker and at events across the city. What started with a trailer and a slogan painted on its side grew into a barbecue name Milwaukee goes looking for.

Every plate that leaves the truck carries their name on it. That’s why the smoke, the sides and the welcome all come from the same place.
