About Brooks' House of Bar-B-Q

Since 1951, Brooks' House of Bar-B-Q has offered fantastic meals in a terrific family atmosphere at very reasonable prices with only the highest quality ingredients and phenomenal customer service. Brooks' House of Bar-B-Q had its roots in a poultry farm: Griffin Brooks graduated from the Agricultural and Technical College at Delhi in 1940 with a degree in animal husbandry. In 1941, Griffin married Frances McClelland who majored in food management at Delhi College. They purchased her father's poultry farm in Stamford where they raised chickens for eggs and meat. In 1958, the Brooks family began operation of a concession stand at the miniature golf and driving range connected with the Del-Se-Go Drive-In. After this concession stand had great success, catering took off and the main restaurant was constructed in 1965 with the largest indoor charcoal pit in the east. The rest of the success falls on the great sauces, marinades and rubs that have been a mainstay and permanent fixture at our 3 generation, family business. Read their story
