Atlantic Barbecue

Atlantic Barbecue (AB) was founded on the belief that barbecue is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of culture, creativity, and community. Originally launched in 2020 as a catering service by Orlando native Michael Willis, AB brought a bold, Southern-inspired take on craft barbecue and comfort food to Northern Virginia. In 2024, the brand entered a new chapter with the debut of its full-time food truck, serving customers six days a week through on-site ordering, delivery, and online platforms. Known for signature dishes like Jerk Smoked Spare Ribs and the Brisket Double Smash Burger, Atlantic Barbecue redefines traditional barbecue with a menu that blends deep Southern roots with bold, multicultural flavors. Michael’s mission is clear: to honor the legacy of barbecue while pushing it forward through passion, innovation, and authenticity. Whether at festivals, private events, or your local neighborhood, Atlantic Barbecue delivers unforgettable flavor and a sense of belonging—one plate at a time.
