Heading into barbecue season, Smokey Bones is tempting meat lovers with two new Savory Sundaes: the House-Smoked Brisket Sundae and the BBQ Pork Sundae.

While the House-Smoked Brisket Sundae puts low-and-slow smoked Texas-style brisket over mashed potatoes and roasted corn, plus red wine sauce, fried onion tanglers and green onions to garnish, the BBQ Pork Sundae layers hearty [macaroni and cheese](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-bowl) with house-smoked pulled pork, jalapeno cheddar sausage and bacon coleslaw. Both disguised as desserts, these savory indulgences sweeten the experience of enjoying [comforting barbecue favorites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/city-barbeque-fall-menu).

Announced during National Barbecue Month, these Savory Sundaes kick off [Smokey Bones’](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulled-pork-sundae) BBQ Bonanza and invite diners to discover its refreshed cocktail menu with brand-new Summery Sips.
