At Kane St. Smokehouse, good barbecue is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about honoring tradition, putting care into the details, and making people feel at home. What started right here in Gate City is growing with a simple purpose: serve quality barbecue, work hard, treat people well, and create a place our community can be proud of.
Because the little things matter—from the food we prepare to the way we welcome you through the door.
Team Members are at the center of the Kane St. Smokehouse experience. From preparing and serving quality food to greeting customers, keeping the restaurant clean, and supporting teammates, this is a hands-on role where every task matters.
You may work across the front kitchen, back kitchen, food prep, dish station, cashier, and dining room. We’re looking for people who work with urgency, take initiative, follow food-safety standards, and aren’t afraid to jump in wherever help is needed.
Restaurant experience is helpful, but it isn’t required. What matters most is being dependable, willing to learn, respectful of your teammates and guests, and committed to doing your part to create the kind of hospitality Kane St. is known for.
The Shift Leader helps keep each shift running smoothly while supporting both the team and the guest experience. This person oversees daily operations during assigned shifts, maintains food quality and safety standards, and leads through service, example, and accountability.
As Manager-on-Duty or Person-in-Charge when the Restaurant Manager is away, you’ll help guide the team, solve problems, maintain standards, and step into any position when needed. We’re looking for someone who can stay calm under pressure, communicate clearly, take initiative, and help create a positive environment where both guests and team members are cared for.
Great Shift Leaders don’t simply give directions—they train, encourage, educate, and demonstrate the standards they expect from others.
The Manager at Kane St. Smokehouse is the heartbeat of daily operations — someone who leads with intention, serves the team before themselves, and takes genuine ownership of the guest experience, the culture, and the standards that make this place what it is.
This role requires someone who understands that great leadership isn’t about authority — it’s about showing up consistently, developing people, solving problems with composure, and holding the line on what matters most. You will be responsible for the full scope of restaurant opera6ons while guiding our team to understand and live out our vision, mission, and core values every single day.
Managers must lead by example, uphold company policies, and ensure the restaurant operates smoothly and profitably. You are expected to be a culture carrier — someone who doesn’t just enforce standards but helps others understand why those standards matter.

This sauce starts off sweet and finishes with that unmistakable Texas peppery kick. It’s perfect on any meat, but it shines brightest on brisket and ribs — just like they love it in Texas. If you want sweet with a little attitude, this is your go‑to.
