After 34 unforgettable years, it's time to say goodbye.

Hap’s Pit Barbecue, built with love by my parents, Barbara and Dan Darroch in 1991 will be closing its doors for good on July 11th as I, Christine Darroch, current owner/operator, am set to retire.

What began as a dream in our family kitchen quickly became a favorite BBQ spot for so many of you. My mom and dad poured their hearts into every dish and did so every single day with a smile for the first 21 years of the Hap’s story. Upon my parents' retirement in 2012, I quit my corporate job in insurance and bought Hap's so that I could continue serving you all in my parents' footsteps. It was an extreme blessing for my parents to see that their beloved Hap's Barbecue was honored in 2018 as I was featured cooking some of our signature meats on Michael Symon's Burgers Brews & 'Que on The Food Network's The Cooking Channel. My parents' legacy has lived on successfully and is written in the minds of every customer that has had their weekly stop by to meet friends for lunch, corporate catering, wedding, and every regular who became family over our 34-year history.

We are forever grateful for the immense amount of love that the community has shown us. Thank you for making Hap’s Barbecue more than just a place to eat; thank you for making it a part of your lives.

Please stop by in the coming weeks to share in the end of an era, to get your last Hap’s craving satisfied, to share a story, and to give a proper good-bye! We would love to see you!

With love and gratitude,

Christine Darroch/ The Darroch Family
