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. At Uncle Clarence BBQ, we are committed to using only the highest quality ingredients, including our premium, Kosher-certified spice blends and all-natural blueberry-infused sauces made in small batches from New Jersey blueberries. Our products are crafted with health in mind—low in sodium, gluten-free, and free from preservatives.
Each bottle of our seasoning, condiment, and sauce is designed to connect people, echoing the community spirit Clarence’s parents cherished, and creating lasting memories around the dining table. Uncle Clarence BBQ stands as a tribute to resilience, heritage, and the simple pleasure of enjoying authentic American barbecue. We invite you to join us in celebrating the flavors and values that define our brand—a legacy of family, lovingly crafted, and committed to providing an exceptional barbecue experience.
