Our Story

Lickin’ My Chicken & Pullin’ My Pork began in 2012 as an award-winning competition barbecue team founded by Drew McGee and Luke Schuette. As demand grew, the team turned its passion for authentic barbecue into a family-owned food truck, catering service, and local destination.

What are your hours?

We are open Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM until sold out. Because our barbecue is prepared fresh, popular items may sell out before closing.

We recommend reserving catering at least seven days before your event. Catering requests can be submitted through our website, over the phone, or in person.
