Barbecue food truck opening permanent spot in Guilderland
GUILDERLAND, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Big D's Meats BBQ is opening up a permanent, year-round location. The business will be at 1810 Western Avenue in Guilderland.
Owner Derek Place started Big D's Meats BBQ as a mobile business in 2023. The food trailer travels around the Capital Region catering graduation parties and weddings, and doing pop-ups at local breweries and events.
With the food trailer shut down for the winter, Big D's Meats BBQ will now have a year-round restaurant in Guilderland. During the summer and fall, the food trailer will still be doing events and pop-ups throughout the area.
Place said the restaurant will primarily be take-out and delivery through Mealeo but will have a few tables if anyone wants to dine in. The eatery plans to do weekly family dinner specials and a monthly supper club.
The Big D's Meats BBQ menu features brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and chicken, which are included in platters, sandwiches, or by the pound. Sides include coleslaw, potato salad, beans, green beans, mac-and-cheese, and cornbread. You can view the menu on the Big D's Meats BBQ Facebook page.
Place is hoping to open Big D's Meats BBQ in Guilderland by the end of January. To start, the hours will be Thursday 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. for Family Take Out Night, 11 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday (or until sold out), and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
