McCray's Story

Where 89 Years of Pitmaster Tradition Meets Bold BBQ Flavors!

McCray's BBQ began its journey in 1934, founded by Jay Harvey, who passed down the art of authentic backyard barbecuing through generations. What started as a small, family-run tradition quickly grew into a local sensation, known for its unmatched quality and unique flavors. The secret to McCray’s success has always been simple—dedication to time-honored techniques and a deep love for the craft. From the open flame barbacoa grilling method to the infusion of Floribbean spices, McCray's BBQ has earned its place as a staple of South Florida's barbecue culture.

Now under the leadership of Pitmaster Derrick McCray, the family legacy continues. With nearly 90 years of perfecting the art of barbecue, McCray's has catered to some of the biggest events in sports, including the Super Bowl, and has consistently been voted the best barbecue around. Derrick and his team remain committed to delivering the same quality and passion that has made McCray's a household name, serving up dishes that capture the heart and soul of barbecue tradition while embracing the future of flavor.
