🌧️🍑 The rain has been doing wonders for the Ford’s BBQ garden!

Our peach trees are loaded up, the flowers are showing off, and everything is looking greener and happier by the day. Between the blooms, the fresh herbs, and the peaches growing out back, it’s hard not to stop and admire Mother Nature’s work.

We may be known for BBQ, but we’re pretty proud of our little garden too. Come grab a meal and take a stroll—you might catch a glimpse of what all this Georgia rain has been growing. 🌿🌸🍑

This past Sunday, we had the honor of participating in Side by Side’s Recovery Brunch alongside the incredible team at Chai Pani Decatur and more than 30 talented chefs, bartenders, and culinary professionals from across our community.

The event raised critical funds to help stroke and brain injury survivors recover community, purpose, and hope—and we were proud to play a small part in such a meaningful cause.

Justin had an absolute blast meeting guests, connecting with fellow restaurateurs, and cooking over 200 pancakes fresh to order throughout the brunch! We topped each one with our famous pulled pork and a house-made BBQ syrup, creating the ultimate sweet-and-savory combination that had people coming back for more.

A huge thank you to Side by Side for allowing us to be involved in such a special event, and to everyone who came out to support this amazing mission. We’re already looking forward to next year!

🎓✨ Congratulations, Giselle! ✨🎓

Today we’re celebrating one of our own!

Giselle has been part of the Ford’s family as a hostess for the past two years, always greeting our guests with a smile and helping make everyone feel welcome. Now she’s adding another incredible achievement to her resume — graduating high school!

Homeschooled since kindergarten, Giselle completed high school in just three years, earning an impressive 3.97 unweighted GPA and 4.41 weighted GPA. Through dual enrollment at Georgia State University, she completed 15 college courses and earned 41 college credits before even receiving her high school diploma!

This fall, she’ll be attending Georgia College & State University, where she’ll study Business with a concentration in Accounting and a minor in Graphic Design. And as if that wasn’t enough, she also plans to finish writing her psychological thriller/fantasy novel.

We’re incredibly proud of all that you’ve accomplished, Giselle, and can’t wait to see what the future holds. Congratulations from your entire Ford’s family! 🎉❤️

Help us wish Giselle a huge congratulations in the comments! 👏🎓

Happy Memorial Day from all of us at Ford’s BBQ 🇺🇸❤️

Unfortunately, we will NOT have our Burnt End Special today — sorry, y’all! But don’t let the gloomy weather keep you away… we’ve got plenty of BBQ for the whole family, including pulled pork, ribs, brisket, turkey, and smoked wings hot and ready. 🔥🍖

Come celebrate Memorial Day with us, grab some comfort food, and let us do the cooking

🎓🔥 BIG congratulations to Logan!! 🔥🎓

For the last 2 years, Logan has been a huge part of the Ford’s BBQ family. He came to us as a dishwasher and worked his way all the way up the kitchen ladder. These days, he can do just about everything in the kitchen… run the flattop, work the fryer, butcher meats, tend the smokers, and keep the whole line rolling when things get hectic.

If you’ve been around Tucker, chances are you’ve probably HEARD Logan before you saw him 😂 his little truck with the giant tires rolling up and down Main Street like a monster truck parade all by itself.

Now he’s graduating from Tucker High School and heading down to Ogeechee Technical College in Statesboro to study automotive technology. We couldn’t be more proud of him.

We’re gonna miss the hard work, the teamwork, the friendship, and the fun personality he brought to the restaurant every single shift. But nobody may miss him more than little Hattie. 😂

For the last year, Hattie’s favorite running joke has been:
“Hey Logan… you’re funny…”

He’d smile waiting for the compliment…

“…funny LOOKIN’!” 🤣

And somehow she laughed like it was the first time every single time.

Logan, we’re proud of the young man you’ve become and excited to see what’s ahead for you. Keep working hard, keep chasing your goals, and maybe don’t put tires any bigger on that truck before you get to Statesboro. 😅

Congratulations Logan!! 🎉🚘🔥

Monday nights sound better on the patio at Ford’s BBQ.

Nothing fancy—just a great night in Tucker with live music, fresh air, and a relaxed atmosphere you’ll want to come back to every week.

Happy Birthday to the man behind the smoke, the pizza dough, the cold beer, the organized chaos, and at least 47 daily uses of the phrase “moving forward”… Jimmy! 🎉🔥

Today is extra special because not only is it Jimmy’s birthday, but his oldest son is graduating high school too. Proud dad mode is definitely turned all the way up today. 🎓❤️

Jimmy is the owner of Ford’s BBQ, The Local No. 7, The Stratford, La Calavera Pizza, and Ford's Chicken coming soon… because apparently one restaurant-induced headache just wasn’t enough. 😂

But the thing about Jimmy is he’s never been the kind of owner who hides in an office. He’s the guy washing dishes when we’re slammed, running the smoker before sunrise, bartending on a busy night, carrying boxes, fixing problems, and somehow still making the restaurants run smoothly, efficiently, and with a fun atmosphere.

One minute he’s giving a pep talk, the next minute he’s asking who left the walk-in open, and then wrapping it all up with “moving forward…” like we’re all in a very smoky TED Talk. 🤣

Truthfully though, we appreciate everything he does for all of our teams. Jimmy leads from the front, works harder than anyone around him, and cares deeply about the people who work beside him and the family he’s built.

Today we celebrate a great boss, an amazing dad, and an even better guy.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy! 🍻🔥

Happy International Family Day from all of us at Ford’s BBQ Tucker! ❤️🔥

If you’ve ever been inside Ford’s BBQ, you already know we’re more than just coworkers… we’re one big chaotic, loud, hardworking, slightly sleep-deprived family. 😂

What makes our Ford’s BBQ family so special is that we come from many different nationalities, backgrounds, cultures, and walks of life, but somehow we all come together every day over smoke, food, laughter, and teamwork. That’s the beauty of restaurants. The kitchen feels a little like the United Nations… just with more BBQ sauce and louder music. 🤣

And speaking of family… the heart and soul behind Ford’s BBQ Tucker is The Bradford family: Faith, Justin, and little Hattie! ❤️

We’re pretty sure everyone in Tucker has seen the little blonde girl zooming through the restaurant at least once. Between the smoker, the dining room, catering, and daily chaos, Faith & Justin pour everything they have into Ford’s BBQ, and we truly couldn’t do it without them.

Restaurants are stressful, messy, exhausting, beautiful little worlds… and family is what keeps it all going.

Happy International Family Day to our Ford’s BBQ family and all of yours! 🍻

Some roots run deep… and today we followed ours right back to the beginning. 🌳🔥

We grabbed lunch at The Old Hickory House here in Tucker, the OG of local BBQ. This spot isn’t just a restaurant for us, it’s a memory bank. Justin & I grew up eating here, long before Ford’s BBQ was even a spark in the smoker.

Now don’t get it twisted… we love what we do. But every now and then, you’ve gotta tip your hat and enjoy BBQ that raised you. Different style, same Southern soul.

Lunch was great, the nostalgia hit just right, and we’re grateful to be part of a community with legends like this.

Much respect to our brothers in the BBQ game 🤝
– Faith & Justin Bradford

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day 🍎❤️

We’re lucky enough to have not one, but TWO amazing teachers on our team at Ford’s BBQ — Anaya & Bonnie! When they’re not shaping young minds and building up our future leaders, they’re right here serving up smiles with us in Tucker.

We appreciate everything y’all do for the classroom and our community. Y’all are the real MVPs — chalk dust by day, BBQ by night.

If you see them today, show ‘em some extra love!

05/04/2026

🍎📚 Teachers, this one’s for YOU!

To celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we’re saying THANK YOU the best way we know how… with BBQ! 🔥🍗

Now through May 10th, all educators can enjoy $10 OFF their tab at Ford’s BBQ. Just show your school ID and let us treat you to a well-deserved meal.

You shape minds, inspire futures, and make a difference every single day — we appreciate all that you do! ❤️

Tucker Day at Ford’s BBQ was one for the books! 🔥

We were shaking fresh margaritas all day, slinging BBQ tacos as fast as we could, and having an absolute blast with everyone that walked up. 🌮🍹

Nothing better than good food, cold drinks, and a whole lotta Tucker love. Y’all kept us moving all day and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

If you missed it… don’t worry—we’re still bringing that same energy every day at Ford’s BBQ 💪🏽

From our GM Hayley:

“Today is my last day at Ford's BBQ Tucker😢
5 1/2 years of serving the best Q! I am forever grateful for the opportunity to serve the Tucker community during that time. I have built lasting friendships with not only co workers but so many amazing customers that I will treasure forever. The Tucker community has been there for me and my family during our darkest times and I could never thank you all enough for that! Having the opportunity to bring Bennett to work with me for the first year of his life meant the world to me. He was so loved by everyone and would often sit with people in his bouncer while they ate. I could never thank my best friend Faith for pushing me and giving me the chance to do something I truly enjoy doing; serving people and making people happy. There have been a lot of blood, sweat and tears… and falls and bags of cheese 😂 but I wouldn’t have traded them for the world!
It has been an honor to serve you Tucker! Stop by and show some love today! 😃”

We are gonna miss Hayley Bagwell Thomas so much! We are so grateful for these last 5 1/2 years. ♥️ Thank you so so much !! You have been such an important part of the Ford’s BBQ business .

Y’all better come on by 🔥

Rotisserie Chicken Salad Wrap — stacked with all the fixin’s and that Alabama white BBQ sauce 🤤

👉 Available till sold out… and it won’t last long!

04/29/2026

Y’all already know what day it is… Smoked Burger Wednesday 🔥🍔

Today’s feature: The Cowboy Burger 🤠
A smoky, juicy patty stacked high with melty cheddar, piled with our house-smoked pulled pork, and finished with a drizzle of sweet & tangy BBQ sauce. It’s messy, it’s bold, and it eats like a meal all on its own.

Come hungry… and maybe grab a few extra napkins 😏

👉 Available TODAY only – don’t miss it!

04/27/2026

Mondays just got a little scandalous 😏🔥

Our Pork Belly Burnt Ends are back, and this week’s flavor is Magic City… yeah, that Magic City. We took inspiration from those legendary hot lemon pepper wings and gave our burnt ends a saucy, tangy, spicy glow-up.

Sweet. Heat. A little ATL attitude.

Available all day Monday until we sell out… and trust us, they don’t stick around long.

04/27/2026

🎶 Tucker, don’t forget… Mondays are for LIVE MUSIC at Ford’s BBQ! 🔥

Bases were loaded… and then the caterer struck out.

So we did what any respectable pit crew would do 🔥🚐
Ford’s BBQ slid in like a last-inning hero and turned a near food foul into a full-on feast. Smoked pork sandwiches? Check. Mac & cheese? You already know it showed up creamy and undefeated.

Shoutout to Old Dominion University Baseball for battling it out today… even if Georgia State Panthers baseball protected home turf like pros. A tough L, but at least dinner was a W.

Catch the Ford’s BBQ van posted up at Turner Field — where legends once played and today… we’re still knocking it out of the park (just with a little more sauce 😏).

04/24/2026

Hooked on Fridays 🐟🔥

Smoked salmon is swimming in today—grab it as a platter with 2 sides or drop it on a Texas-sized salad.

Catch it while it’s here.

04/23/2026

Well… this is not the post we were hoping to make today.

Our Tucker location will not have beef ribs today due to some unforeseen circumstances. Trust us, we’re just as disappointed as you are… maybe even a little more dramatic about it.

We’ll be over here staring at the smoker like it owes us an apology.

BUT—everything else is hot, ready, and still very worth the trip. Come see us, we’ll make it right the best way we know how. ❤️🔥

04/22/2026

🎶 A little sweetness… a little soul… 🎶

Today’s Wednesday Smoked Burger Special is a tribute to the legend Luther Vandross — introducing The Luther Burger 🍔🍩

We’re stacking up:
🔥 Smoked beef patty
🥓 Crispy bacon
🧀 Melted American cheese
🍩 All on a glazed donut

Smooth, rich, and unforgettable—just like Luther himself.

⚠️ Today only & limited quantity! Both location’s! Don’t miss your chance to taste the groove.

04/20/2026
