Barbecue Boys Ignites Bethlehem with Sizzling New Restaurant Expansion!

Get ready, Bethlehem! The aroma of slow-smoked meats is about to fill the air as Barbecue Boys, the Lehigh Valley's beloved BBQ sensation, announces a thrilling expansion with a brand new restaurant set to open its doors this September. Known for their mouth-watering brisket, pulled pork, and ribs, owners Chris Williams and Tyler Guzzi are bringing their award-winning flavors to 2200 Industrial Drive, marking a significant milestone in their culinary journey.

This exciting move comes as part of a strategic shift, prompted by the ongoing Riverfront Redevelopment Project in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.

While their loyal Phillipsburg customers will undoubtedly miss their current spot, the Bethlehem location is poised to become the primary hub for Barbecue Boys' operations, promising the same exceptional quality and taste that fans have come to adore.

The story of Barbecue Boys is one of passion, persistence, and smoke-filled success.

It all began in 2017 with a humble food truck, quickly gaining a cult following for its authentic, slow-smoked barbecue. The demand grew so immense that in 2019, Williams and Guzzi established their first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 350 S. Main St. in Phillipsburg. Their dedication to craft — from perfectly seasoned meats to homemade sauces and comforting sides like creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, and sweet baked beans — solidified their reputation as a must-visit destination for BBQ enthusiasts.

The new Bethlehem restaurant will allow Barbecue Boys to serve an even wider audience, expanding their reach within the vibrant Lehigh Valley food scene.

Customers can anticipate the full Barbecue Boys experience: tender, juicy meats smoked to perfection, a delectable array of classic sides, and their signature sauces that elevate every bite. This expansion is a testament to their unwavering commitment to quality and their growing popularity.

But fear not, Phillipsburg fans! While Bethlehem will be their main base for now, Williams and Guzzi haven't forgotten their roots.

They are actively exploring opportunities to return to Phillipsburg with a new location as part of the Riverfront project's future phases, potentially operating both spots. This means more opportunities for everyone to indulge in their incredible barbecue. The Barbecue Boys are ready to smoke up Bethlehem, and the Lehigh Valley couldn't be more excited to welcome them!
