The Bar-B-Q Man Restaurant began serving Texas-Style Bar-B-Q in 1977 under the guidance of Malcolm DeShields Sr. Through the years our 2.4 acre facility has grown to include a full service restaurant, bar, a party area, and beautiful Cantina patio with lots of shade trees and picnic tables. All food is prepared on-premise and is supervised by the DeShields family in the same manner it was when food service first began in 1977.

It's just about the best BBQ I've had in some time. Never disappointed. Well, I take that back. Just one time I ordered coleslaw and it was actually too salty to eat. Yeah, it was salty. Other than that, great BBQ.

This place is a full experience: the employees are incredibly friendly, the food is amazing, and the ambiance is perfect! It reminds me of BBQ joints my grandparents would take me to as a kid.

Great place to get some good barbecue. We had the brisket, chicken, and sausage. They were excellent but we were sad they didn't have pulled pork. Also the potato salad, coleslaw and beans were also great.
