Uncle D's Smokehouse BBQ & Grill

Uncle D’s Smokehouse BBQ & Grill brings decades of family tradition to Desert Hot Springs with a food trailer that has become a staple across the Coachella Valley. With over 20 years behind the pit, Uncle D carries on the legacy of his grandmother and great-grandmother, who ran soul food and BBQ restaurants in Blythe and Los Angeles. Today, he serves the community from a 20-foot smoker trailer that has even caught the attention of local news.

The menu is packed with flavor and heart, featuring USDA Prime smoked brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, tender pulled pork, and a lineup of savory sides that complete the experience. Guests rave about the creamy mac n’ cheese, collard greens, and Not Yo Mama’s BBQ baked beans, all made with the same care and passion that fuel the smoked meats.

To finish strong, Uncle D’s Smokehouse BBQ & Grill serves up a sweet favorite: homemade banana pudding. Whether spotted at local events or on the streets of Desert Hot Springs, this food trailer delivers authentic barbecue with roots, soul, and plenty of flavor.
