tl;dr — We’re adjusting our hours and preparing a finalized menu.

With 2026 upon us, we want to take a moment to reflect on the year and announce some changes.

In September, we took the keys to our current spot and started preparing. Fueled by societal expectations of eternal growth, we’ve been going hard, and this thing has kept on rising.

We have been blessed to receive so much love and support from the folks of our awesome hometown communities. We are human beings with limitations though, and we want to focus on efficiency by finding a balance between doing what we love and doing other things that we love.

We’ve decided to focus our efforts more on lunch and midday crowds and cut an hour from the evenings throughout the week to reclaim a little bit of time. We are also cutting down to five days a week to replenish ourselves.

We’re not afraid to talk about the unconventionality of our business. We aren’t traditional business people — we’re quirky, and sometimes that comes with failing your own perfectionism. That stress can boil over and negatively impact the experience of the customer. We don’t want that. As far as hiring to expand: our family-oriented, dorky vibe has been carefully curated over a decade, and we don’t want to rush into hiring a candidate without knowing that they can confidently fit into the DorkLife.

In line with our policies of radical simplicity and ethereal experience, we are adjusting our schedule and starting January 5, 2026, our new hours of operation will be Monday through Friday, 11am - 7pm.

We are also working on both a revamped menu and a new smoker to handle the volume we’re moving. The current one is getting quite the workout!

We hope these changes sit well with ya, but if they don’t… well, we apologize.

Love y’all. Have a dorky New Year.
