Morgantown, WV -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/23/2013 --Last month, when Big Whiskey Saloon & Dancehall opened its door to showcase some of MountainFest's premiere entertainment, the venue also provided fans with some of the best barbecue in the region. Beginning Labor Day weekend, Rod and Stephanie Phillips, owners of Hot Rod's House of Bar-B-Que in Waynesburg, will bring their menu back to the Big Whiskey kitchen.
The barbecue menu options that were featured during Big Whiskey's opening week got rave reviews. Some of the menu items served at Big Whiskey will be similar to the sandwiches, steaks and salads that Rod and his wife, Stephanie, serve at their Waynesburg restaurant. “There are also new menu items specifically created for the Big Whiskey dining experience,” says Phillips. “Over the last 7 years, we've taken Hot Rod's restaurant from a 30-seat restaurant, with 3 employees to now seating for over 150 people, a full bar, and we have 19 employees. And now, we're expanding to Morgantown.”
Originally from Greene County, Pennsylvania, Rod and Stephanie Phillips worked in Georgia and Florida for over 20 years before coming back to Waynesburg to open their own barbecue place. Now, they are bringing the award-winning recipes to the Morgantown area.
Big Whiskey will be open for lunch Monday thru Saturday from 11:00am until 1:00pm, and dinner from 5:00pm – 10:00pm Wednesday thru Saturday.
