The design of both locations will have repurposed materials including reclaimed barn wood and oxidized tin that will give a rustic look to make each spot feel like they’ve been there forever. While both BBQ joints are family friendly, there will also be full bars complete with bushwackers, Alabama beers and more for the adults!

“We are very excited about the opening of these new restaurants and expanding our company’s reach in Baldwin and Mobile counties,” said co-owner Mark White. “Additionally, we plan on using as much fresh local seafood and produce as possible in all of this area’s stores.”

Housed in a remodeled 7-Eleven location, the 2,585 sq. feet restaurant is designed for quick, delicious dining in a laid back place with local style. With many candid pictures of local skiing and daily life decorating the walls, there will also be some quirky oddball items that reflect the owners’ personalities.

There is a giant chalkboard wall for kids to enjoy as well as a garage door that opens the dining area to an enjoyable patio outside.
