More Than Just a Name

Viking Barbecue began as a competition barbecue team built on friendship, craftsmanship, and a shared refusal to settle for “good enough.” At our very first competition, the second brisket Brandon had ever cooked earned a second-place finish. That early success sparked years of refining recipes, studying the fire, and competing in brisket, ribs, and overall categories—earning multiple awards along the way. The experience behind Viking Barbecue goes beyond the competition circuit. Brandon is a combat veteran and professional mariner, while Allen served as a Navy cook and was selected to prepare meals for an admiral aboard an aircraft carrier. Together, we bring discipline, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality to every event we serve. The Viking name is more than a theme. It reflects heritage, perseverance, maritime tradition, and the belief that a great meal should bring people together around one table. From slow-smoked brisket and ribs to signature appetizers and hearty sides, everything we prepare is made with bold flavor, generous portions, and pride in the craft. Whether we are catering a wedding, corporate gathering, yacht club dinner, family reunion, or private celebration, our goal is simple: serve unforgettable barbecue and treat every guest with honor.
