Family owned, pit fired, Live Oak proud
Derrick's BBQ started with a simple belief: food isn't fuel — it's how you show your community that you care. Nearly thirty years later, that's still the only rule we cook by.
Derrick's BBQ | Our Story
Born in Live Oak, built on barbecue
Derrick opened his doors in 1995 with one conviction: barbecue, done right, is an act of love. Every plate is built on fresh ingredients, honest portions, and genuine care.
Low, slow, and worth it
Good smoke can't be rushed — and we've never tried to rush it. The sliced pork, beef, and turkey that come off our pit have been earning their time, and you can taste the difference in every bite.
Live Oak's neighborhood table
We're a no-frills spot in a shopping center — and regulars wouldn't have it any other way. The servers know your name, the portions are generous, and the prices are honest.
More than just the classics
Alongside the platters and ribs, you'll find Redneck Nachos, Brunswick stew, blackened fish, and a Cowboy Frank that regulars swear by — a Southern kitchen with range, all under one roof.
Made to share
From family packs to full slab ribs, our best meals have always been the ones eaten together. Pull up a chair — there's plenty of room and plenty of food.
