Our Story

We’re Raymond and Mimi, the proud owners of Bearded Ray’s Backyard BBQ — a business built from passion, perseverance, and a whole lot of backyard smoke.

What started as cooking for family gatherings and friends quickly grew into something bigger. For us, barbecue isn’t just food — it’s fellowship. It’s about bringing people together, creating memories around the table, and serving meals made with care and consistency.

Raymond is the pitmaster behind the smoke, dedicated to perfecting every brisket, rack of ribs, and signature platter. Mimi is the heart behind the scenes, helping shape the vision, supporting operations, and making sure every customer feels welcomed like family. Together, we balance flavor and hospitality — smoke and soul.

Bearded Ray’s Backyard BBQ represents who we are: hardworking, community-driven, and committed to serving authentic, slow-smoked barbecue made with love. When you support us, you’re not just buying a plate — you’re becoming part of our extended BBQ family.
