I order 4 party packs this past Saturday for a Christmas party and I could not be more pleased!! My order was ready at the exact time I had requested to pick it up - the food was AMAZING and I wouldn’t go any where else for our BBQ

I have gone out of my way just to get pulled pork and sauce. Hundreds of miles away now and I sure miss the best barbecue in the country. I have changed the minds of Carolinians , Texans , Kansas citizens and people from Memphis , Tennessee. I have yet to need anyone that doesn’t love Fresh air barbecue. Thanks for keeping things the same. It’s the best.
