Our Story

Established in 1927

The Buddy Love’s BBQ was founded in 1927 in the barbecue capital of the world Lawnside, New Jersey. As 4th generation pitmasters our family recipes have been passed on for almost 100 years. With our family values and home cooked barbecue Buddy Love’s provides you and your family with a meal that feeds the soul.

Our Mission

Our mission is to carry on the family tradition and share our home cooked BBQ with families across the tri-state area. Buddy Love’s BBQ is more than just your typical family barbecue, it is a meal that is rich in history and deeply embedded in our families roots.

Vintage roadside barbecue restaurant with signs advertising "Big Chief Barbecue," "Atlantic Ale and Beer," and "Dr. Pepper." The building is small and rustic, situated near a road, with visible trees and houses in the background.
