Big Rub BBQ

It all started in 1998 when our father won 7th place in the Arkansas State BBQ Championship. Since that time, we have perfected our long, low smoking approach, and our "Big" tasting rubs and sauces. We needed a job while attending the University of Arkansas, so we decided to do what we love... Open a BBQ catering and concession business that serves Memphis style BBQ with a "Big" "Bold" taste...

Why not? It's America... It's Razorback Country... and... We love all kinds of BBQ!
