Welcome to SWICK'S Kitchen & Emporium
We’re not your average restaurant — in fact, we’re not a restaurant at all. Swick’s is our working catering kitchen that doubles as a cozy community hub for carry-out scratch-made food, smoked BBQ meats, sweet treats, and a pantry full of our favorite things.
Smoked Meats
& Scratch Sides
Our recipes are inspired by the slow, scratch-made meals our grandmothers made before the world turned to fast food and instant dinners.
We smoke, cook, and bake everything from scratch, using high-quality ingredients and patience, because the best meals are the ones made with care.
Catering & Events
Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate lunch, family reunion, or graduation celebration, Swick’s offers handcrafted, from-scratch meals that make an impression.
Let us take care of the details so you can focus on what matters—the gathering itself!
Discover the Pantry
Inside our little storefront, you’ll also find our pantry goods shop — a carefully curated collection of our favorite kitchen staples and gifts. Think: cooking tools we actually use, small-batch sauces and seasonings, locally sourced honey and syrups, and sustainable food storage solutions.
How it Works at the SHOP:
Each week, our coolers are stocked with our award-winning slow wood-smoked meats and rotating side dishes, all available by the pound. Heat, eat, and savor the good stuff at home — no fuss, just flavor.
You’ll also find our bakery case full of irresistible sweets like ooey-gooey fudge brownies, luscious lemon bars, and whatever else we’ve been dreaming up that week — all made from scratch, no shortcuts.
Looking for something hot and ready? We’ll announce a single meal special at least once a week on our social media (sometimes more!) available for carryout only.
Everything is first come, first served. When we’re out, we’re out — smoked meats take up to 16 hours to perfect, so there’s no rushing this kind of love.
REVIEWS
Thank you for making our time to honor our friend so special. Everyone loved the food! I had only positive comments, and requests for your name. I was comfortable and confident working with you from our first contact, and I had never even tasted your food. God gave me a peace about it. I hope we are some affirmation that your leap of faith to open a restaurant is on solid footing. I will give you glowing reviews.
The Smoked Pulled Chicken is a 10 out 10! And loved the Alabama White Sauce!!
Swick's Kitchen & Emporium has already catered two Wabash events for me and it’s a HUGE hit with all! Candace makes everything look so nice too.
