BIG AL'S BENT CREEK BBQ's MISSION AND STORY
Big Al’s Bent Creek BBQ is dedicated to the art of live-fire hickory smoking. We smoke our Craft BBQ over 12hrs in our Home-Built Smokers using only locally-harvested cooking woods... Our goal is to spread Kindness, Love, and Comfort through barbecue. We believe that kindness and care doesn’t cost a thing. Living your kindness and caring for others is what life is about. BBQ is our passion!
Our Story:
In 2018, just a few months before the shutdown due to COVID-19, my father “Doc Martin” and myself, “Big Al” decided to expand our family farm & wedding venue with a BBQ food truck. Cooking for family and friends provided a strong community connection and helped support and save our farm. With great excitement, we expanded into a brick-and-mortar location within just a few months. During this time, my father "Doc" passed away unexpectedly. Unfortunately, we could not keep the family farm and had to close our brick-and-mortar location.
SO I STARTED OVER...
In February of 2021, I purchased another farm and started “ Martin Ranch Equine and Canine Rehabilitation Center." I started rebuilding. But BBQ has always been my passion. Nothing has changed. I couldn’t stay away. The relationship that I had built with my customers was strong. I missed them badly, as well as the great sense of community surrounding "Big Al's Bent Creek BBQ." What we have here is special!
