OUR STORY
From Southern California to Southern Louisiana
The story behind our “All Wood No Gas Bar-B-Que Company” began with my dad, James McKnight. Year after year, I watched him smoke hundreds of turkeys for the holidays on his homemade 55-gallon drum pit. Those memories planted the seeds for the barbecue I love sharing today.
By the late 1980s, our signature flavor was taking shape—combining Dad’s Uriah, Alabama barbecue roots with our Southern California taste. My love of barbecue stayed with me through serving overseas in the Army and a trucking career spanning more than 44 years.
Around 2022, during a time of prayer, my beautiful wife and I believed God was leading us to the Baton Rouge area to provide hands-on support with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries (JSM). Together with Ace, we packed up our lives and brought our family’s barbecue tradition from Southern California to Southern Louisiana.
Today, Mr. Fred’s Bar-B-Que carries that tradition forward with faith, family, and the unmistakable flavor of cooking with wood. We look forward to what God has planned for us in our new home—and to sharing a little taste of our story with you.
Our Mission & Vision
Our prayer is that every experience with Mr. Fred’s Bar-B-Que is excellent and second to none. We aim to serve flavorful, wood-smoked barbecue with genuine care, attentive service, and a commitment to understanding what you want for your event.
Our vision is to build a family business rooted in faith, hospitality, and the barbecue traditions passed down to us—bringing people together around good food, from our family to yours.
