A Legacy of Flavor and Heart

At the heart of our brand lies the unwavering core values and principles instilled in me by my parents, values that shape every bottle we create. We pour not just ingredients, but genuine love and dedication into our products, and extend this same heartfelt commitment and care to every customer and team member. Our offerings are more than just spices and barbecue sauce; they are the essence of community. This is why our product stands out, and why my parents' faces proudly grace our logo. Thank you for being a part of our journey.

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

Welcome to Uncle Clarence BBQ, where every bite we serve is rich with the essence of family, tradition, and steadfast dedication. Our story begins with Clarence C. Mitchell, who was nurtured by the guiding principles of his parents, both devoted to community service and hospitality. Clarence's father, Clarence Foster Mitchell, was not only a skilled construction union worker but also a culinary enthusiast renowned for his exceptional barbecue skills and his gift for bringing people together through delicious meals. Growing up, young Clarence absorbed these skills and values, cultivating a deep respect for the art of barbecue and the significance of community, care, and authenticity.

In 2021, as the global pandemic slowed work and glaucoma affected his vision, Clarence C. Mitchell chose to leave his construction union job with IBEW Local #3 and honor his father's legacy by establishing Uncle Clarence BBQ in Farmingdale, Long Island, New York This brand represents more than just a business venture; it is a heartfelt homage to his father's passion for barbecue and a pledge to spread that same joy and warmth to others.

Easily one of the best tasting racks of ribs I’ve made!

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. I highly recommend picking up a bottle and trying it out for yourself. You’ll be hard pressed if you’re a bbq fan to not have these products in your cabinet.
