Jerry Willis tending the smoker, surrounded by rising hardwood smoke

Our Story

Since 1985

From a Tyler, Texas Family Reunion to Phoenix's Best BBQ.

It started at a family reunion in Tyler, Texas — a legendary dry rub passed down through generations. The first bite said it all: “I've never tasted anything so bold. It wasn't just food. It was legacy.”

Today, Jerry Willis brings that same champion-winning recipe to Phoenix and the West Valley — slow-smoking every rack the way his family taught him, one event at a time.

Good Questions, Honest Answers

Have Questions About Catering?

How far in advance should I book BBQ catering?

For weekend and large events we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead, as dates fill quickly. Smaller drop-off orders can often be arranged with a few days’ notice — reach out and we’ll do our best to accommodate your date.

Is there a minimum order for catering?

Our packages start with the Maverick ($60), which comfortably serves a small gathering. For larger events we build a custom quote based on your headcount, so there’s an option for nearly any size group.

What’s included with your catering?

Every order includes our slow-smoked meats and homestyle sides. Full-service and package orders come ready to serve — ask about setup, serving utensils, and paper goods when you request your quote.

Which areas do you serve?

We bring the smoker to you anywhere in the Phoenix metro and the West Valley — including Glendale, Peoria, Goodyear, Avondale, Surprise, Scottsdale, and Mesa.
