Our Story
Tin Bucks Barbecue originated from a long-held dream to create a unique barbecue experience. After nearly two decades in the culinary industry, the founder sought to build something truly independent and dedicated to quality in Central Vermont.
Our Journey
Tin Bucks Barbecue started as a long-held idea and grew into a fifteen-year pursuit of doing things the right way. Built on nearly two decades in the culinary industry and years spent cooking across Central Vermont, Tin Bucks was created to step away from the traditional restaurant grind and build something independent, honest, and built to last. The goal was simple: deliver high-quality barbecue at a fair price and fill a gap that was missing in the local food scene.
This is barbecue made with purpose—tight menus, disciplined execution, and respect for the people we serve. No inflated prices. No cutting corners. Just real food, cooked with care, and priced so it stays accessible. Tin Bucks Barbecue exists to serve Central Vermont and beyond with a mission at the heart of everything we do: building community through empty plates and dirty napkins.
