Serious Barbecue. No Frills.

In the heart of Fishtown, Fette Sau brings a distinctly urban attitude to traditional American barbecue. Housed in a former industrial space, the restaurant combines exposed brick, communal tables, and a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere. Meats are smoked low and slow, then served by the pound on butcher paper, from tender brisket and pulled pork to richly flavored ribs and sausages. An impressive selection of American whiskeys and craft beers completes the experience. Casual, lively, and unapologetically focused on the food, Fette Sau is a place to roll up your sleeves, gather with friends, and enjoy barbecue done right.

The cuisine

Fette Sau specializes in dry-rubbed, smoked meats like brisket, pulled pork, and hot Italian sausage. The cuisine is a fusion of American barbecue and German influences, served with simple sides and an extensive selection of beers, ciders, and bourbons.
