Born and raised in Greenville, NC, we grew up on charcoal grilling and pit cooked pork BBQ with that famous Eastern NC vinegar-based profile. Nothing brought more smiles and laughter than all-night pig cooks and finger-lickin’ family reunion pig pickins the next day. But traveling while in the United States Army and through experiences in corporate America exposed us to different flavors and types of grilling and smoking meats. That’s how GrillVille was born.

 

Our Grill Master, Adrian Barnhill, has honed his grilling expertise since 1998. BBQ contests in the MidSouth, corporate events in the MidWest, and family reunions, pig pickins, and wedding rehearsals in the South have strengthened his love of the craft and solidified our signature, sought-after flavors. His wife, Teresa, is our experience queen, ensuring every aspect of our events--big or small--exceed our customers' expectations.  

Our foundation is Eastern North Carolina—juicy pork, succulent turkey, and tender chicken slow roasted over charcoals with vinegar-based seasonings. But we mix in a bit of Memphis and Kansas City too, chopping our own oak wood for a rich smoke to blend with the charcoal profile and layering those sweet, bold Mid-South and Mid-West flavors on top of the traditional NC tangy.  

We crafted our unique flavor profile over many years of trial and taste—and even error sometimes (LOL)—and we’ve loved every minute of it. We consider it a blessing to bring the flavors of our favorite BBQ cities—Greenville, Memphis, and Kansas City—together as GrillVille and share our one-of-a-kind flavors with the new, extended family members we meet wherever we go.
