Raised Southern BBQ Company

Ruben & Tivi Estrada

Raised Southern BBQ, is brought to you by husband-wife team and Texan Natives, Ruben and Tivisay Estrada.

Ruben moved to Island Park July 2017 to be the Executive chef at the Riverfront restaurant at Anglers Lodge only to get the opportunity the following November to make his own restaurant. Seeing a need and lack of variety of cuisine in the surrounding area, they decided to switch things up from the typical burger and pizza bar food in Island Park. After growing up in the south (Alabama and Texas), which is known for their great BBQ, Ruben decided that BBQ was the answer, thus The Rustic Smokehouse was born and then transitioned into Raised Southern BBQ Company. No matter the name, the meal is absolutely divine and Chef Ruben’s evening routine consists of prep and seasoning the meats needing to be placed on the smoker to cook throughout the evening. Raised Southern BBQ company is smoking briskets low and slow for 16 hrs, pork shoulders for 14 hrs , ribs 5 hrs and sausage for 2 hours.  Using a combination of traditional hard woods mesquite, oak and pecan. Wanting to keep things fresh and in tradition with Texas Meat Markets Raised Southern BBQ company strives to bring you the highest quality always fresh never frozen meats. This is a great chance to try something new and exciting in Island park if you haven't already.

Raised Southern BBQ Company opens at noon and close when they sell out, and, they sell out everyday. We suggest going early enough so you do not miss out or calling ahead of time and pre-ordering. You can call them at (208) 701-5819. Being that this is ran by just the two of them, we also suggest checking their Facebook page for daily updates here at Raised Southern BBQ Co because they may take a day off from time to time.
