Kane St. Original Sauce

Kane St. Original is our balanced, all‑around BBQ sauce — a little sweet, a little tangy, and uniquely ours. We created it after customers asked for a sauce that “wasn’t so sweet,” and it quickly became a favorite. It’s not tied to any one region, so we claimed it as our own original flavor.

Alabama White Sauce

This creamy, mayo‑based sauce has a touch of spice and a whole lot of Alabama heritage. It’s a staple for smoked chicken, but it’s surprisingly incredible on our brisket too. Try it alongside our Kansas City Sweet for the perfect tang‑and‑sweet combo.

South Carolina Honey Gold Sauce

Our Honey Gold is a mildly sweet, mustard‑based sauce inspired by South Carolina’s famous golden BBQ. It pairs beautifully with pulled pork, turkey, and chicken, adding a smooth, tangy finish without overpowering the meat. If you love a little sweet with your savory, this one’s for you.

North Carolina Vinegar Sauce

This vinegar‑based sauce brings a little heat and a lot of tang, just like the traditional mop sauces used for whole hogs in North Carolina. It cuts through the richness of smoked meat beautifully and is especially perfect on pulled pork. Bold, bright, and full of Carolina tradition.

Kansas City Sweet BBQ Sauce

Our Kansas City Sweet is the classic, crowd‑pleasing BBQ sauce everyone knows and loves. It’s rich, sweet, and smooth, making it perfect for pork, sausage, and just about anything else you put on your plate. If you’re looking for familiar comfort, this is it.

Texas Sweet Heat BBQ Sauce

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.
