About This Vendor

Friendly Service & a Variety of menu Items

We are a family owned business who thrives on what we love to do. Barbecue ! What was once family tradition we loved to partake in is now our passion that drives us everyday. We travel and compete on the professional barbecue circuit with our savory southern flavors striving everyday to create even more enticing meals. The best part of cooking barbecue is the ability to share our homemade recipes with others that share our passion for the popular backyard tradition. There nothing better than having a gathering of family and friends to share good times, great memories, and mouthwatering barbecue. In addition we have recently added more traditional menu items that will be sure suit any occasion.

Meet the Team

Allen & Lindsay

Owner

We started our great journey cooking for my husbands company as a way to thank you to all of this men that worked under him. Forget ordering pizza! We really wanted to show his men he cared. Naturally we thought of barbecue because its always been a family tradition of ours. Of course we got rave reviews from everyone and the positive responses were overwhelming. Thats when we took plunge and became legit. Now were booking all kinds of events and compete professionally on the Florida barbeque circuit.
