Before & After Coming Soon
Questions Montgomery Clients Ask
Real concerns, honest answers
Is the BBQ really that good?
Troy has been slow-smoking meat for 50+ years. The brisket goes 14+ hours on the smoker. You'll taste the difference immediately.
What makes it different from chain BBQ?
No shortcuts. No pre-packaged sauces. A USMC veteran pit master who applies military-grade standards to every single plate.
Is it worth the drive?
Montgomery customers come back every week. Once you've had brisket smoked 14+ hours, nothing else compares.
Is the 28 minutes trip really worth it?
Most Montgomery customers say yes — and they bring friends the second time. Free parking, fast service, and BBQ that lasts in your memory.

Questions from Montgomery Clients
How do I get to West 52 BBQ from Montgomery?
Orchard Road South to Route 34 East, then Route 59 South into Shorewood. About 28 minutes. The Route 30 to I-88 highway option also works.
Is West 52 BBQ better than the Orchard Road options?
It's a different category. West 52 is a dedicated slow-smoke operation — not a chain or a bar with a smoker in the back. Montgomery residents who make the trip once tend to come back.

What Montgomery Clients Say
"Everything on Orchard Road is a chain. I drove to West 52 BBQ in Shorewood on a recommendation and it is the best smoked brisket I have had outside of a competition circuit."
— Greg V., Montgomery · Beef Brisket
"Used West 52 for our Fox River neighborhood cookout. The pulled pork was gone in 20 minutes and everyone wanted the phone number. Incredible food, great service."
