Barbecue has had an almost sacredness, not only with its preparation, but also regarding when and how it’s eaten.  A communal dining experience, barbecue is typically enjoyed with family and friends. Think about it, you never see anyone eating BBQ alone, well maybe Pennywise the clown, but that’s about it.

In the South, barbecue is a religion of sorts; given that it is infused in just about every facet of life. Strangely, although it’s at the most southern tip of the United States, South Florida doesn’t carry the deep south’s cultural and barbecue traditions as close to the belt as places like Memphis, Kansas City and Charleston.

Troy’s BBQ in Boynton Beach is an exception. It embodies the nostalgia, flavor, and heartiness found in southern backyards, take-out windows, farmers’ markets, and of course church parking lots. A 30-year-old family business, Troy’s patriarch, Mr. Troy Davis, created this business from vast experience grilling (since 1980). One of the oldest and most respected pit masters in Florida, Troy grills his ribs on high heat rather than a slow smoking method.
