Get to know us

Our Story

It all started with a passion for food, a smoker and a backyard.

Our pit master Todd fused his love for cooking with his desire to share great moments with his family and friends. What better way to do that than with delicious slow-cooked comfort food?

After many years of persuasion by those very same people around his table, Todd decided to take the leap of faith and launch Garvin Barbecue.

Our goal is to bring our community the same delicious food, genuine hospitality, and sense of connection that Todd has been sharing with family, friends, and guests for years.

If you're interested in bringing us to your table for your next event, big or small, reach out or stop by - we would be thrilled to help!

...Exceptional customer service is hard to find these days, and this team truly exceeded my expectations. I can't say enough good things about them, right down to the delivery everyone was excellent. I would highly recommend them! Big thank you to the entire team for saving the day!!
