Barefoot Barbecue in Seaside

Thought about this all day and now I am going biking for bbq!

Da Q, da Q. What's Rainbow Cake? Cake for Gay types??

It is a wonderful taste treat that is the color of a rainbow and flavored lemon lime orange strawberry and grape. When I picked up my BBQ yesterday we had a discussion about the yummy goodness of a slice of Cake after the barefoot treat of the BBQ.

Okay. eaten there 3 out of the last four days. Still awesome. Going back tomorrow. Murph is doing a great job

OMC...have you had Murph's baked beans? A meal in itself! YUMBO!

Just ate leftover beans and cold ribs for lunch.

Bonus...you can dance while waiting for your food to come up! Great tunes!

Went yesterday and this definitely could become a quick addiction. Had the sliders and tried 3 of the sauces. Will have to go back and get another order for the last sauce. Perfectly cooked and tender.

Way to go Murph.

P.S. Love the corn cups. (If you don't know you'll just have to go ;-) )

The BBQ is awesome. It's hard to impress this BBQ snob from North Carolina, but Murphy I loved it and the pineapple cole slaw is great too. Thanks for showing me around, what a great operation you have there and much luck to you!

We've eaten there twice and Mr Seagrover is hooked - loved the baked beans and pineapple coleslaw!!! Yum!!!

Ya'll, this is some of the best BBQ I've ever had!! I'm a southerner and a BBQ aficionado, and I absolutely LOVED it.

Murphy, I don't know you, but congrats on putting together an awesome concept and menu with such careful attention to flavors and details (hats off for the cardboard, not styrofoam, to-go boxes).

Bud and Alleys, The Taco Bar, Pizza by the Sea, and the Red Bar's breakfast...

It's been a good few days.

Smokers on Site

I'm curious, are they running a smoker right on sight?

Yes, the smokers are housed in their own "Mini Cottage" (per healthcode regulations) between the two trailers. If it's not too crazy up front, my husband, Murphy loves to show them off. Ask for a look.

Cookie and Chip Prices

...can't resist....:shock: ...$3.00 for a side of potato chips or a cookie??...
.

Totally understand your immediate reaction. First, the chips side is a Large bag (or 2 small if we're out of the large) of Zapp's potato chips. Second, the cookie is large and all organic (as are all of our desserts). My baker said to me that if I wasn't willing to buy her cookies at the price she sold them to me for that she totally understood if I didn't want to purchase from her. That being said though, her product is what I wanted to be represented at Barefoot BBQ....being organic, local and fantastic. It is very difficult to find a commercial baker who meets those requirements. I make very little profit on that particular item. My employees aren't even allowed to buy them at employee discount. However, I invite you to try them. They are delicious and (unfortunately for my waist) addictive. She also makes our outstanding carrot cake, chocolate pecan pie, chocolate cake and apple pie.

Barefoot BBQ Hours

How late are they open? The smell wafting around B&A's was intoxicating, but they were probably closed when we left at midnight. Figured it was probably today's smoke goodies getting ready.

We're currently open from 11 to 11. However, starting this weekend and through the summer our late night hours start...

Sun-Wed 11-midnight

Thurs-Sat 11- at least 2 a.m.

We'll be experimenting with what hours work based on volume. Though, these hours are our intention.

We look forward to seeing you and your after work/play munchies!

Thank you!

We'll try to do better...4 out of 4 for you!!!

We just want to thank everyone who have been so supportive of Barefoot BBQ since we opened on April 22! We had a great turnout and have seen so many of you as repeat guests....the highest compliment that can be paid. We do and will always welcome positve and/or constructive criticism as tools we can use to grow and create/maintain fantastic food.

For those who may not know about Barefoot BBQ, we are a little BBQ joint operated out of 2 Airstream trailers in Seaside. We serve only hormone-free, antibiotic-free, steroid-free meat an d organic produce. Even our desserts are organic. We don't serve drinks in plastic containers (including our water, which is an amazingly delicious canned water called "Source"). All of our to go products are made from renewable and biodegradable resources such as rice, corn and sugar. Some of our retail shirts (which are super cool and I believe represent the vibe of 30A) are made from organic cotton and recycled materials. All of this to say, we are not perfect in our carbon footprints upon this beautiful planet, but we're trying to do our part. It is our intention to serve whole food that feeds that body and the planet. Oh, and did I mention, the BBQ and the sauces rock!

Can't wait to see y'all out at the Airstreams. We're cooking 24/7 so there's plenty to go around. Thank you again for your amazing support!!!

Thanks for your delicious RIBS!!! I'm kinda picky about ribs and Barefoot's earns my purple ribbon award!!

Yesterday, we were treated to an incredible Lunch by Jenny and Murph. Jenny showed up at our store with a lip smackin selection of Barefoot B-B-Q's fresh goodies. Free-Range Organic Meats done to perfection with sides of Baked Beans, Slaw, and Potato Salad.

The sauces were equally as good and hard to determine which was our favorite. They were all prepared well and each had a unique flavor. Being a spicy food lover, the Hot Lava may have won me over.

It was also really cool to see all ths wonderful food brought over in Environmentally sound Biodegradable Containers. I know they cost a bit more to use, but what a great statement for a restaurant to make.

Barefoot is a must for those who want to support local folks putting out wonderful foods at reasonable prices. We will certainly go there to sit down and highly recommend this cool joint to all foodies.

Thanks for the Treat Jennny and Murph. If I was waring socks yesterday, they would have been knocked offffff......

Everything sounds so delicious!! I was wondering if you might want to throw some firm tofu on the smoker and sauce it up? We're "mostly vegetarian" (we do eat some fish on occasion) and when our family decides where to eat, we can't go to certain places if there are no vegetarian options on the menu. I know meat is your primary focus (as it should be at a BBQ place) but it might be worth experimentin' with to see if you can come up with something vegetarian that still gives that BBQ experience.

Smacks of some sort of BBQ heresy...

Yeah, I know. But vegetarians eat out too (and spend money too), and it makes sense from a business perspective to have something on the menu for them to eat, and throwing a slab of tofu on the smoker and slapping it with sauce doesn't seem like it would cost much or require a whole lot of effort. We don't eat a lot of tofu or soy products, but I have cooked with smoked tofu some and it's actually quite good for when you're missing the smokey flavor of BBQ. BTW, we went mostly vegetarian because of a family history of lethal colon cancer.

glad y'all aren't afraid to eat something from the same grill. so many vegetarian's would be against doing that since they might get a few delicious bits of pork lovin in their gullets

grilled Portobella mushrooms are a fav at one of ATL's great bbq places, Swallow at the Hollow, Roswell, GA. maybe that's an option?

Hubby and I were thrilled to find Barefoot BBQ still open at 10pm last night. Fast and friendly service, cute t's that I plan to return for to choose in daylight. He ordered pulled pork sliders, potato salad and they fixed up all sauces in to go containers so we could try them all-very nice. Very good que and tator salad and we liked the spicy sauce (others were good but we like some heat!).

I haven't actually tasted the food yet, but it smells REALLY good and it's nice to see all the people outside eating and enjoying the nice music.

Maybe we could let them be open a couple months before demanding major menu changes? I can certainly understand vegetarians wanting more dining options, but dedicating space and resources to tofu/veggies is a lot to ask from someone trying to get a specialized restaurant going in the current economy.

Welll, that is totally understandable. I plan on cooking this thing sometime soon. Anyone want to join me?

Bacon Explosion: The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes

I'm thinking some Cream of Tums soup will probably be in order following this artery clogging mess.

Heck, I hadn't even thought of that! I guess I'm a bad vegetarian because I have resolved not to think to much about what goes on behind the scenes at restaurants otherwise I might drive myself crazy, but I imagine that would be a dilemma for some die-hard veggisaurs.

I didn't mean to open a can of soyworms. I guess I just get frustrated that a whole segment of the culinary world is closed to us. Yeah we'll probably live to be happy and healthy 120, but we miss BBQ! Given the alternative, we'll do without the BBQ, but it would be nice to have some flavor choices when we eat out.

On the plus side, I have just purchased a larger smoker, so I've been smoking tofu, tomatoes (!!!!) and cheese. Smoked cream of tomato soup is just...I can't talk because I'm overcome with latent memory euphoria.

So well said! A big ditto!

I love Barefoot BBQ, Murph and his awesome staff! I am so psyched that I will be able to get my Barefoot fix all winter long.

Barefoot BBQ rocks! And apparently, it's a good place for a rumble too.
