Frequently Asked Questions

What is Burk’s BBQ Pop-up Mobile Food Establishment?

Burk’s BBQ Mobile Pop‑up is a certified mobile food establishment with the Berrien County Health Department, meeting all requirements for the Michigan Food Law Act, utilizing a commissary kitchen, and bringing you smoked goodness via a pop-up tent!

The best way to describe a mobile pop-up is it is like a food truck – but instead of a truck, we are set up under a pop-up canopy tent.

Where are you located?

We are based in Three Oaks, Michigan, but frequently operate in New Buffalo and throughout Southwest Michigan. Check our Facebook page for current locations, hours, and event announcements.

What are your hours?

Our hours vary based on events and weather. We typically serve:

  • Most Saturdays: 11 AM – 3 PM (or until sold out)

  • Special events or catering by appointment
