More than 37 years later, Hecky's is still doing what we do best -- and then some! Our menu

Our Story

On October 13, 1983, Hecky Powell combined his two passions (helping people and making the world's best barbecue) and opened the doors to his restaurant. With just 100 bucks in the register, he started selling everything from rib tips to chicken, all paired with the best dang barbecue sauce you've ever had. More than 35 years later, Hecky's is still doing what we do best -- and then some! Our menu has expanded and our kitchen is bigger than ever. But the best thing about our business growing? We've been able to help our community thrive along with us. We're proud to sponsor community initiatives, host charity events, and employ local young people at our place. It's just our way of saying "thanks" for letting us make life a little more delicious.
