• Our new menu

    Today, Big Bird BBQ is proud to release a preview of our new 2023 menu, in doing so revealing a change in how we’re doing BBQ in Hinton in 2023.

  • Thank You So Much

    We got word earlier today that we’re up for four awards at next month’s Hinton Chamber of Commerce Gala. Woah.

    I’ve got some gigantic chicken wings that’ll start our mid-March week off right, and then we’ll roll into a week full of returning hits and some new test balloons like rice pilaf and Pappa al Pomodoro, a Tuscan soup containing tomatoes, garlic, bread and basil.

  • Thank you, 2022

    Roost Hinton finished mopping up from Christmas Dinner service not long ago. Today’s was our last service of the year, and it’s got me thoughtful. This was a really hard year. With such a short season last year, we had to really work to cover expenses over the off season, and took on some unexpected…
