Enjoy Midweek BBQ, Classic Cars, and a Whole Lotta Heart at Smokin’ Coop in Belvidere

Does your idea of the perfect summer night involve enjoying mouthwatering barbecue while looking at cool cars, and listening to music with friends and family? Then you need to be at Smokin' Coop BBQ Pit in Belvidere every Wednesday night!

Cruise Night at Smokin' Coop BBQ Pit

Every Wednesday night, for more years than I can count, the sweet smell of smoked meats and the rumble of classic engines has filled the air at Smokin’ Coop BBQ Pit in Belvidere.

If you've never been to a Smokin' Coop Cruise Night before, here's what you need to know:

• Cruise Night takes place every Wednesday night during the summer (weather permitting) from 4 to 7 p.m. at 2022 US Bus 20 in Belvidere. 
• The car show is open to everyone and a trophy is awarded each week for "Car of the Night".
• Don't have time to stay and enjoy a meal? Carryout is available at Smokin' Coop too!

Classic cars are cool, but the part I love even more about Cruise Nights at Smokin' Coop, is that they come with a big ol’ side of giving back.

Smokin' Coop BBQ Pit Fundraiser for St. Jude

Each week during Cruise Night, Smokin’ Coop sells Klondike bars for a buck, root beer floats, and 50/50 raffle tickets, with all of the proceeds going straight to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. How amazing is that?

Each year Smokin' Coop has one goal in mind: do even more good than they did the year before, and with your help they achieve it!

So, please grab your friends, your family, and your appetite, and make Smokin’ Coop BBQ Pit's Cruise Night your new Wednesday night tradition this summer! Be sure to show up hungry, and don't forget to bring some cash for the 50/50 raffle tickets!
