❤️ To Our Bare Bones BBQ Family… ❤️

This is a post we never imagined we would have to write.

After a lot of thought, many conversations, and due to multiple factors, we have made the incredibly difficult decision to close Bare Bones BBQ.

Over the years, Bare Bones has become so much more than a restaurant to us. It has been a place filled with good food, laughter, friendships, familiar faces, and memories we will carry with us forever. We have watched customers become friends and friends become family.

To every single person who has walked through our doors, come through our drive-thru, shared one of our posts, recommended us to a friend, trusted us to cater a special occasion, or simply stopped in for some BBQ — THANK YOU. ❤️

There truly aren’t words big enough to express what your support has meant to us over the years. You allowed us to do something we loved, and we will forever be grateful for that.

This isn’t necessarily goodbye… we’re choosing to think of it as “see you later.” 🐷❤️

For those who currently have catering events booked with us, we plan to honor those commitments. If you have a large catering need in the future, please feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

And most importantly, please keep following our page. We ask that you don’t count Bare Bones out just yet. We don’t know exactly what the future holds, but when we have updates about the future of Bare Bones BBQ, this is where you’ll find them.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting Bare Bones BBQ, believing in us, and becoming part of our story.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

🐷❤️ This isn’t goodbye. It’s see you later.

— The Bare Bones BBQ Family
