Our Story
David’s BBQ was originally started in 1978 by David Reber. He cared deeply about serving great BBQ and giving back to the community. A decade later, Brian Hood purchased the business and has grown it into what it is today, with two brick and mortar locations and many satisfied catering customers. In 2024, the Hood family sold the business. It will continue to be operated by a local family who strives to perpetuate the legacy that Mr. Reber and the Hoods have built over the last 40+ years!
