Carissa, 34, and Alex Bowman, 33, have plans to open a bbq restaurant at 3 W. Oak Street, called Brickstreet BBQ.
“We plan to open hopefully in May, 2023,” Carissa said. “We felt that Fort Scott residents and ourselves missed being able to get good barbecue in town and thought since we’ve been able to manage and maintain a local restaurant that we have the know-how and the will power to make it happen!”
Alex is the manager and cook at Nu Grille Restaurant. just across the street from Brickstreet BBQ.
Carissa is the Family and Consumer Science teacher at Fort Scott High School.
They have started some social media to help the public get to see their progress:

The Bowman’s plan on employing about 40 full-time and part-time people. The employment application can be accessed on their Facebook page.

Was sorry to see that Luthers BBQ went out of business ! Very good BBQ that we have traveled from K.C. down to Ft. Scott just to visit the town & eat at it. BUT, over the weekend we were in town & saw this new Brickstreet BBQ had opened in it’s place !
Anxious to stop in and compare the two places…. just hope this is as good as Luther’s was.
