Georgia Boys BBQ Outpost

What is the story behind your business' name?

While loving the South that they grew up in, two adventurous guys from Georgia felt the calling of the Colorado mountains. At the young age of 29, they headed west to pursue the Rocky Mountain lifestyle. Finding themselves being laid off within a week of each other during the peak of the great recession and not wanting to leave Colorado, they turned to what they knew and loved – Southern BBQ! In December of 2010, they started a brown bag delivery service of authentic Southern BBQ out of their apartments in Boulder, CO. Word about the Georgia Boys and their excellent BBQ quickly spread. Their BBQ was in so much demand that they started selling it in the parking lots of local breweries throughout the winter and early spring of 2011. With some luck, the Boys (Matt & Nick) found a commercial kitchen in Longmont, Colorado. They converted it into a BBQ Shack that was reminiscent of the small BBQ spots that they grew up with in the South, where iced cold sweet tea, great BBQ and good old Southern hospitality was always served up to friends and neighbors on the front porch. Matt and Nick opened their front porch to guests on July 1, 2011, serving slow-cooked Georgia style BBQ, some excellent side dishes made from scratch recipes that had been passed down for generations, and authentic sweet tea that made everyone feel right at home.Long days, sleepless nights, plenty of hard work and a lot of festivals later, they found themselves bursting at the seams and needing to expand in order to keep up with demand. They now operate three dine-in restaurant locations (Frederick, Longmont and Greeley), have two food trucks and a robust catering service. Georgia Boys BBQ sauces are also bottled and sold to retail stores across the front range.
