About Us

Hickory Smoked Meats Now Available

Dewey’s BBQ Market prepares hickory smoked meats in Texas’ African-American tradition. Our online market will offer BBQ Briskets, BBQ Hams, BBQ Ribs, BBQ Pork Butts, Smoked Turkey, BBQ Polish Sausage and our own family-secret BBQ Sauce. For more than 50 years, North Texans enjoyed meat cooked over a hard wood fire. Dewey’s BBQ Market continues that tradition. Chicago area customers may be the first to enjoy a walk-in and sit-down style restaurant simply because Dewey’s son, Robert now lives in that area. See the SHIP-TO-YOU tab to see selections you can order today. 

Dewey’s BBQ Market Roots

Dewey’s BBQ Market was founded in 1951 from The Spare Rib Bar-B-Q Pit, which opened in Greenville, near Dallas, Texas, and served North Texans for 50-plus years. Dewey’s BBQ Market honors Spare Rib founder, Dewey Fitzpatrick, by using Dewey’s tried and proven smoked meat preparation processes and seasonings (some call “dry rub”). Robert Fitzpatrick, the youngest of Dewey’s children, is finalizing plans for a brick and mortar store to carry on the family business in the Chicago area.

Dewey’s BBQ Market Tradition Lives On

Dewey’s BBQ Market will use hardwood fire methods, to prepare locally sourced, highest quality meats smoking them slowly at a low temperature for many hours to ensure that deep-down hardwood smoked flavor. Conventional ovens, charcoal, natural or propane gas, wood pellets, liquid smoke, or the boiling of meat are not used in true Texas African-American tradition. Our old customers appreciated the taste difference and we are sure you will too.
