Welcome to 2 Friends BBQ, where passion for great food meets the joy of friendship! Founded by two lifelong friends with a shared love for BBQ, our restaurant is dedicated to serving the finest smoked meats and delicious sides in a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Making barbecue for others to enjoy means the world to me. I get so much joy from seeing and hearing about how people react from eating my cooking.
My cooking style has evolved tremendously over the years. My father was a cook in the United States Navy, and he cooked the best foods that made me realize how blessed I was to have him in my life.
My most memorable story and experience related to barbecue is when I was around six years old. My cousin and I would stand outside of Nick’s Barbecue Stand in East Saint Louis, Ill. We would wait outside his bbq stand, smelling the smoked flavor of his meats and watch all the people go inside to buy his bbq. One day he noticed us and called us inside to work, cleaning up the shop to get free foods.
My goals for 2 Friends bbq are to share my tasty foods with as many people as I can and to expand it to other cities and places around
the globe.
Our menu features a wide variety of smoked meats, including brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken,
Our homemade sauces are crafted to enhance the flavors of our BBQ. From sweet and tangy to spicy, there’s a sauce for every palate.
