Description

Specialties

We specialize in Bar-​B-​Q, based on over 88 years of experience.

History

Established in 1925.

n 1925, Bob Gibson served bar-​b-​q from a makeshift table made of oak planks nailed to a large sycamore tree in his back yard. Fresh out of his hand-​dug pit came smoke and smells that drew people from miles away.

Weighing 300 pounds with a 6’4″ frame, it was easy to see why friends and other railway workers called him Big Bob. «Your future is not in the railroad, but in Bar-​B-​Q», said Roslyn Mitchell.

It was with that, Big Bob Gibson started a family bar-​b-​q restaurant tradition that has lasted over 75 years and 4 generations.
