  I recently purchased the Kamado Big Joe III at this store. The COVID caused a supply shortage, but the staff was very communicative in explaining to me when my smoker would arrive. On delivery day, my Big Joe III was finally delivered and assembled by the BBQ Galore team right on time and very professionally. I will definitely visit this store again to add to my BBQ needs.

  Nice staff who know their product but their delivery service and follow-thru is questionable to poor at best. I bought a large Green Egg with all of the accoutrements and the delivery team pulled a no-show leaving me high and dry. The sales team (Kurt) was wonderfully nice but was not empowered by management to solve this problem.

  Did not have a longer connection for propane tank to a barbecue pit. People asked for it before yet they still said they sent those people to order it online. I kind of felt like if they were a specialty place and they knew people looked for this part that they should have a few to offer. The people were nice though they just did not have what I wanted

  1- The Napoleon BBQ is absolutely amazing!!! 2- BBQ galore is a fantastic store with a super knowledgeable staff who are equally very nice, friendly and informative... helping you make right the choice! The only place to shop for a top-notch barbecue is obviously Barbeques galore!!!

  Wow besides Sarah everyone gave 1 star and has 1 review under their belt. Well let me add some validity to the rating here. I've been a fan of BBQ since as far back as I remember, but never really got into it until a teenager who loved working the grill and basically relearning good habits my dad taught me. Since then I've owed a half dozen grills and BBQ's, built a few of my own from various places and for the everday person looking to not burn their chicken with sweet baby rays this place may not be for you. It's also not for the advanced smoker aging their own fruit wood, making their own dry rubs and sauces. It's a great place to get gadgets like thermometers, skewers, etc. They have a healthy spice and rub selection, but all commercial and great places to start and get ideas for your own personal transformation from griller to pit master. As many of the previous reviewers bought grills to install during remodels they do have quite a few to choose from, but I've been exclusively smoking for about 6 years now and would never go back. They carry quite a few high end fancy models, all expensive and some rather home décor heating systems. The only reason I come here regularly is to get traeger pellets for one of my auger fed smokers. They carry a good selection of flavors, sell them for cheap, will order from traeger for me. The staff is pretty helpful if you know what you want, the selection is ok, but I really feel that all the bad press everyone is getting isn't fully indicative of the experience you can expect. Yeah probably don't buy a grill, don't have a contractor install it. You should be smoking it anyhow and don't buy a Weber anything. I've made better quality and study grills myself. I do however recommend the Green egg which they carry. Superior insulation. Bright open layout. Plenty of space to browse. I get my lump wood from Lowes, but they carry a lot of fuel in bulk here. The quality of your food is not in line with the price of your grill. I get the whole ease of use reasoning, but you may as well go to Home Depot across the street for that. Not a single person actually reviewed them, just rants and raves. Sounds like there is a lot of turnover here, which is never good and granted I don't recall anyone's names, I've never had a bad experience here, but never a good one. So so all around, a little pricey would be my last thought.
