Chalkboard Wings & BBQ is a neighborhood gathering place built on great food, genuine hospitality, and real community connection. More than just a restaurant or bar, Chalkboard serves as a true third place—a welcoming space where neighbors, families, service members, professionals, and regulars come together outside of home and work.

Known for crave-worthy wings, slow-smoked barbecue, burgers, and comfort classics, Chalkboard is just as proud of the relationships it builds as the food it serves. Our team is deeply rooted in the surrounding community, supporting local schools, teams, fundraisers, and neighborhood initiatives, and creating a space where familiar faces are always remembered and new ones are quickly welcomed.

Beyond our walls, Chalkboard Wings & BBQ offers full-service catering for events of all sizes—from backyard celebrations to corporate gatherings—and regularly pops up at neighborhood events, festivals, and community celebrations, bringing the same warmth, quality, and hospitality on the road.

Whether you’re stopping in for a game, a weeknight dinner, a catered event, or a local block party, Chalkboard Wings & BBQ is where good food and good neighbors come together.
