Our Story Authentic American Barbecue Legacy with Family, Tradition, & Quality Ingredients"

Welcome to Uncle Clarence BBQ, where every meal is a tribute to family, tradition, and unwavering dedication. Our journey began with Clarence C. Mitchell, who grew up embracing the values of community service and hospitality instilled by his parents. Clarence's father, Clarence Foster Mitchell, was a masterful construction union worker and a culinary enthusiast known for his outstanding barbecue skills, using food to bring people together. Inspired by his father's passion, young Clarence developed a profound appreciation for the art of barbecue and the importance of community and authenticity.

In 2021, amid the global pandemic and personal challenges posed by glaucoma, Clarence C. Mitchell made the courageous decision to leave his construction career with IBEW Local #3. He founded Uncle Clarence BBQ in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York, as a tribute to his father's legacy. This brand is more than a business; it's a heartfelt commitment to sharing the joy and warmth of great barbecue. At Uncle Clarence BBQ, we pride ourselves on using top-quality ingredients, including our premium Kosher-certified spice blends and all-natural blueberry-infused sauces, crafted in small batches using New Jersey blueberries. Our products focus on health, being low in sodium, gluten-free, and preservative-free.

Every bottle of our seasoning, condiment, and sauce is a reminder of the community spirit Clarence’s parents cherished, fostering connections and creating memorable dining experiences. Uncle Clarence BBQ is a celebration of resilience, heritage, and the simple pleasure of enjoying authentic American barbecue. We invite you to savor the flavors and values that define our brand—a family legacy, crafted with love, and dedicated to delivering an exceptional barbecue experience.

I used Uncle Clarence Righteous Rub, and the Original BBQ sauce with blueberry. review video. The flavor of both products is truly incredible. The bbq sauce has a so delicious, the blueberry shines while still having a strong bbq flavor. The sauce has many different applications.
