Our Vision
To grow with Southern Utah by offering high-quality service and excellent food with an exciting twist — no gimmicks, just real BBQ, good service, and a memorable experience.
Family. Roots. Purpose.
Smokin’ Blues Barbeque was founded by Chef Frank Ford, a classically-trained, seasoned chef with decades of food service experience and a passion for bringing people together through good food. What started as a way to spend more time with family has grown into a family-run BBQ business serving Southern Utah with real smoke, fresh ingredients, and generous portions.
Today, Frank works alongside his sons, Elijah and Nickolas, continuing a legacy built on hard work, faith, family, and community.
