For many years Betty and I have sampled barbecue all over the country and throughout Arkansas. Nothing we found rivals the South Carolina taste and flair we prefer. I am a native South Carolinian , as is barbecue a South Carolina original. So, we decided the best way to fix the problem was to prepare our own.

In August 2008, while getting ready for Bikes, Blues, & Barbecue, we did just that and developed recipes for our own rub and sauces. After an abysmal failure with our Bikes, Blues & Barbecue location, we continued catering for various businesses and individuals. Because our offerings met with great success, we were overwhelmed. It was not time for a full-fledged venture. In June 2021 we reactivated BBQ Xpress on paper. In July 2023 we began the final groundwork to reactivate it on land. Hence, our opening next door to the Appletown Store in Lincoln, Arkansas. Our goal is to share our version of the best BBQ around. (Lawrence & Betty Anderson)
