Welcome to Tug Boat BBQ, where the smoke rolls in slow and the flavor hits like a freight train.   Right here at The Pigeon Coop in Carlsbad, New Mexico, we fire up the pits and cook barbecue the way it’s supposed to be done — low, slow, and packed with bold, smoky flavor.

Every rack of ribs, every slice of brisket, and every pulled pork sandwich spends hours in the smoker until it reaches that perfect point where the meat is tender, juicy, and loaded with real wood-smoked taste. This isn’t fast food. This is real pit barbecue.

At Tug Boat BBQ you’ll find:

🔥 Slow-Smoked Meats

• Brisket with a deep smoke ring

• St. Louis style ribs

• Pulled pork stacked high

• Smoked burgers and sandwiches

🍽 Full Plates
Each plate comes loaded with two hearty sides, a roll, pickles, banana peppers, and dessert — because good barbecue deserves a full spread.

🥔 Homestyle Sides

• Smoked mashed potatoes

• Green beans

• Chips or rotating house sides

🍮 Sweet Finish

• Banana pudding or applesauce to round out the meal.

This is the kind of place where the smoke hits you before you even walk in the door. Families sit down, friends share plates, and the smell of slow-smoked meat drifts across the Pigeon Coop.

So if you’re hungry for real barbecue, heavy plates, and bold flavor, climb aboard.
