The brisket melts. The ribs fall apart. The atmosphere is exactly what you want — dim, loud, and smelling like smoke. My new spot.

Fire-Forged Flavor.
Slow-smoked meats, wood-fired sides, ice-cold drinks. No frills, no fuss — just serious food, served fast.
All About Oliva & Mare
We don't play around with flavor. Every cut is brined overnight, smoked low and slow, then finished hot over open flame. Our pitmasters have been doing this for over a decade, and they still show up before sunrise.

Our Specialties
Our kitchen runs on fire, iron, and stubborn pride. These are the categories we built our name on.
Our Favorites
Our six most-ordered dishes, straight from the smokestack.
-
12-Hour Brisket
Oak-smoked overnight, hand-sliced to order, and finished with a rub we've been refining for a decade. Served with pickles, slaw, and a slice of cornbread.
-
St. Louis Ribs
Dry-rubbed with our signature spice blend and slow-smoked low over hickory until the meat pulls clean off the bone. No sauce needed — but we won't stop you.
-
The Iron Burger
Two hand-packed patties seared hard over open flame, stacked with smoked bacon, aged cheddar, whiskey-caramelized onions, and house sauce on a toasted brioche bun.
-
Smoked Wings
Dry-rubbed, smoked for two hours, then flash-fried for that perfect crispy bite. Choose your heat: hot honey, bourbon BBQ, or Nashville-style dry rub.
-
Smoked Mac
Three-cheese mac — sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, and parmesan — finished in the smoker with a crunchy buttered breadcrumb top. Comfort food with a backbone.
-
Bourbon Chocolate
Dense flourless chocolate cake drizzled with bourbon caramel and finished with flaky sea salt. Rich, boozy, and just the right amount of sweet to close out the meal.
