OUR
STORY

Matt and Mike, co-owners of Backdraft BBQ, started smoking meats together at their firehouse many years ago. What started as a summertime hobby quickly turned into a passion.

Backdraft BBQ was founded when Mike decided to cater his own wedding reception. With much encouragement from friends, family, and their wives after that, they came up with a menu, perfected their craft, and brought Texas-style BBQ to the midwest.

You can find this menu at all of our events! All prices are subject to change
