Corkscrew BBQ, owned by Will and Nichole Buckman, has retained what made it popular when it opened three years ago. However, in the past year, the Buckmans have made a few changes. They added a new canopy over the outdoor seating area, a larger cooking pit and handicapped-accessible facilities. The design of Corkscrew's outdoor seating and walk-up food truck remains the same.
Despite the continued increase in customers, Nichole said she and her husband have no plans to open a permanent, indoor facility
"As of now we will never have an indoor location," she said.
The Buckmans have introduced the Creekstone Farm brand for their beef brisket. The meat is all-natural, 100 percent hormone- and antibiotic-free, and comes from humanely treated cows. In March, Corkscrew added Dino Ribs to the menu, which are beef ribs smoked and dry-rubbed.
Nichole said it is difficult to pinpoint the biggest sellers on Corkscrew's menu.
"We sell out every day of everything," she said. "There's not really one thing Corkscrew considers the most popular. Everything sells on the menu."
Corkscrew has begun accepting whole-meat—whole brisket, and whole chicken—preorders. In addition the restaurant has applied for a beer and wine license. As for any other upcoming planned changes, Nichole said she and Will prefer not to force change.
"We really let the business grow naturally," Nichole said. "We just kind of go day by day and listen to what the customers want."
