The Silvio family has been in the restaurant business since 1958, when Nick’s father, Paul Silvio, introduced pizza to Kansas City with Antonio’s Pizzeria at 43rd and Main. Nick and his brother Sam carried on that tradition when they opened Em Chamas Brazilian Grill, then purchased Hawg Jaw Que & Brew and made it their own. Nick also brings the smoking know-how he sharpened with the Kansas City Fire Department, where he has served since 2004. Locally owned and operated in North Kansas City, Hawg Jaw was voted “Kansas City’s Best New BBQ” in 2012, and we’ve been serving real KC barbecue made the right way ever since.

Alongside the smoked meats, more than 20 microbrew beers are on hand to pair with your barbecue. The casual, welcoming space makes it easy to enjoy a meal with friends or family.

Every dish is prepared fresh, never frozen, using family recipes and the finest ingredients. Slow-smoking, cherrywood flavor, and a focus on quality keep guests coming back for more.
