In 1978 “Fast Eddie” moved to Amarillo Texas. The first thing the locals said to him was – “slow down and try some real Bar-B-Que!” He liked it so much he stayed for 5 years and learned the trade.

When he returned to Port Washington he was determined to bring real BBQ to Long Island not as a large restaurant but as a Roadhouse similar to what he was accustomed to back in Texas.

In 1984 we fired up the smoker and opened the doors inside a 100 year old building on Port Washington Blvd. Delicious smoked brisket and pulled pork had come to the Island. As well as fresh meats grilled over Hickory wood.
