Hey y’all,

It’s Benita here from Gram’s BBQ. Guess what? I’ve got some pretty awesome news to share with you all! On November 7th, I was super honored to receive the Woman of the Year award from our very own Riverside County Black Chamber of Commerce. Can you believe it? This little BBQ joint and its crew making waves!

First off, a huge shout out to the Riverside County Black Chamber of Commerce. You guys rock for recognizing not just me, but the spirit of what we do here at Gram’s BBQ. We’re all about good food, great times, and a dash of Riverside charm, and it seems like you folks love that mix as much as we do.

Now, let’s talk about the real heroes – my fantastic Gram’s BBQ team. You know who you are! They are the magic behind those smoky flavors and hearty laughs we share every day. Without your hard work, dedication, and occasional burnt briskets (you know I’m just teasing!), we wouldn’t be where we are today.

And to our amazing customers – you’re the heart of Gram’s BBQ. Whether you’re here for our famous ribs or just dropping by to say hi, your support means the world to us. Every one of you is part of this big, fun, BBQ-loving family we’ve built here on Main Street.

So, what’s next for us? Well, more of the same goodness, of course! Great BBQ, belly laughs, and maybe a few surprises along the way. Come on down to Gram’s BBQ, where the pit is always hot, and the company’s always warm. Let’s celebrate this together – with a plate of your favorite BBQ, on the house!

Here’s to more smoky adventures and shared moments at Gram’s BBQ.

Catch you at the pit,

Benita Bratton

A Smokin’ Good Morning with Gram’s BBQ and KTLA Morning News

Hey, BBQ lovers! You know summer’s about to heat up when the smell of smoky barbecue fills the air at the break of dawn. On the 26th of May, a special day it was as we fired up our grills bright and early, not just for our early bird customers, but for a live news feature with the KTLA Morning News crew!

That’s right! As we kicked off the Memorial Day weekend, we had the pleasure of welcoming Andy Riesmeyer and his fantastic team into the heart of Gram’s BBQ in downtown Riverside. With cameras rolling and the scent of our Southern Smoke Bar-B-Que wafting through the air, it was an exciting morning to remember!

Our very own Benita Bratton, our fearless leader, took center stage, backed by the energetic Gram’s BBQ crew. We were all buzzing with excitement and pride – after all, it’s not every day you get to showcase your passion for Southern BBQ to the entire Inland Empire!

The KTLA team gave viewers an exclusive peek into our bustling kitchen, capturing the essence of what makes Gram’s BBQ a local favorite. We showcased a smorgasbord of our most loved dishes, including our scrumptious Pulled Pork Sandwich, crispy Fried Green Tomato Sandwich, spicy Hot Link Lunch, tender Brisket Sandwich, irresistible BBQ Wings Lunch, juicy BBQ Chicken Dinner, our signature Pork Ribs, succulent Beef Ribs, and the family favorite, the Bunch of BBQ Family Pack.

And let’s not forget the sweets! Our Sweet Potato Pie and Peach Cobbler had their moment in the spotlight, too, tempting viewers with their golden crusts and the promise of a sweet, homey finish to a hearty BBQ meal.

Seeing the look of anticipation on the KTLA crew’s faces as they took in the sight (and smell!) of our tantalizing BBQ spread was a moment to cherish. It was a proud moment for us, being recognized as a beloved BBQ destination in the Inland Empire.

As we look forward to a sizzlin’ summer season, we couldn’t be more grateful for the opportunity to share our passion for authentic, home-cooked, Southern-style BBQ with a wider audience. And remember, whether it’s a smoky pulled pork sandwich, a stack of BBQ ribs, or a slice of our heavenly sweet potato pie, Gram’s BBQ is here to make your summer BBQ dreams come true!

Till next time, keep those grills hot and your appetites hearty, BBQ enthusiasts! 🍖🔥🍗
