Eddie Wright BBQ – Food truck with varying locations
Barbecue is done just a bit differently at Eddie Wright BBQ. With a motto of “all smoke, no sauce,” barbecue items from here have a unique taste that’s done right.
All menu items can be ordered in catering-sized servings, perfect for feeding the whole tailgating party. Menu items include smoked chicken wings or thighs, smoked ribs, sausages or brisket. You can also order side dishes such as potato salad or smoked tater tot casserole, complete with tots smoked over pecan pellets, married together and smoked again and topped with shredded cheddar.
Or, if you’re ordering for the whole party, Eddie’s also offers a Party Pan: 50 wings and two slabs of smoked ribs, with dipping sauces and rolls. Customize this to your liking by adding more barbecue items for your group.
Eddie Wright BBQ offers pick-up or delivery for online orders. With a pre-determined delivery time window, you can have barbecue delivered right to you, so you don’t have to leave the party.
