BBQ & Deli

Southern BBQ

Delicious barbecue takes time, but now it doesn’t need to take yours. Just ask Darrin, he’s the head of our fresh barbecue department, and he would love to talk to you about his number one passion. Crafting delicious smoked barbecue is more than just a day’s work for Darrin; he takes pride in making Gainesville’s best barbecue at prices that will make you smile.

We have a wide selection, prepared fresh daily on premises in our custom smoker. Check out sweet and smoky favorites like chicken, ribs, pork, Boston butt, and turkey, or try the kicked-up versions seasoned with Bad Byron’s Butt Rub ®. In the mood for something new? Try our lemon-pepper chicken, a perfectly light and tasty version of rotisserie-style chicken. Our hearty, tender beef brisket is available on a 48-hour prior notice. We take pride in our long cooking process, so please let us know beforehand if you’d like to purchase our delicious brisket!

Deli

If you’re in the mood for barbecue but low on time, stop in for a quick sandwich at lunch, or swing by after work and impress your family with the slow-cooked flavors from Darrin’s smoker. No matter what you choose, you will always know it’s prepared fresh, with top-quality ingredients and a little bit of TLC!
