At 19 years old, Andrew McReynolds opened the doors of Alley BBQ from 13 Webb Rd. E, in Historic Bell Buckle, Tennessee. Together with his father, Jeremy, and the rest of their 7 member family, the McReynolds' have poured their hearts and souls into building a legacy through offering their authentic craft Texas BBQ to patrons from all over the world.
​
After the first 8 months of outstanding success, Alley BBQ's neighboring business, The Blue Bird Antiques & Ice Cream Parlor, and 2 additional individuals filed formal complaints with the Town of Bell Buckle in an attempt to permanently shut the well loved BBQ shop down. Though no other complaints have been made to date, targeted harassment has become a mainstay against this dedicated start up business. The McReynolds Family has made ongoing efforts to appease the unspecified demands of Bell Buckle's governing body to no avail.
The undue financial burden placed upon Alley BBQ by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, together with their repeated indiscriminate assertions, leaves Alley BBQ no alternative but to close our storefront at 13 Webb Rd. E. and take our family business elsewhere.
​
We treasure every opportunity we have had to welcome you around our tables, savoring delicious Texas barbecue together, and hope that you will continue to support our efforts as we work to provide a gathering place for you outside of Bell Buckle's Town limits. Alley BBQ must now focus our time, energy, & resources toward building a legacy for our family to welcome yours where we know its roots will thrive. Please consider partnering with us as we continue to invest in each other... our hearts look so forward to sharing more of the blessings we've been given with you.
