Dampf Good BBQ

About

Dampf Good BBQ is Texas-style craft barbecue from brothers Nick and Bryce Dampf, based on Good Hope Church Road in Cary and serving the Raleigh area. For now it runs as a pop-up, so where to find it changes from one week to the next, and regulars check the schedule before heading out.

The whole thing grew out of backyard cooking. What started with two brothers figuring out a smoker turned into a business with a following of its own, and they are now working toward a permanent restaurant.

What to know

  • Nick and Bryce Dampf started the business in 2020 and launched their first pop-up in June 2021.
  • Their first pork butt was cooked on a Weber kettle in Nick’s backyard about five years ago.
  • Nick’s wife bought him an offset smoker, and the first Dampf brisket was cooked for Father’s Day.
  • A schedule of upcoming pop-up appearances is posted on the events page.
