Our story

The man.
The meat.
The myth.

Where it started

One smoker, one mission.

Big Willy BBQ Spot comes down to one simple idea: good meat, real smoke and enough patience to do it right.

Bucket hat, black gloves and a brisket that's been babysat all night — that's Big Willy at the pit on Tompkins Street in Orange. Dino ribs, brisket, slabs of pork ribs and smoked chicken come off the smoker tender and smoky, with mac & cheese, collard greens and fries on the side.

Ordering is easy: fill your cart on the menu and send it by WhatsApp or text. And every meal comes with cornbread — that's the house rule.

— "Big" Willy

“If you're lookin', you ain't cookin'.”

Willy's #1 rule. Keep the lid shut, trust the fire.
