ShortStopBBQ-sm

After two years of serving from a food truck, brothers Alex and Andrew Honoré have settled down and opened Shortstop BBQ in a brick and mortar location.

The Honorés were inspired at an early age by their great-grandfather, who in the 1950‘s opened Doug’s Hickory Pit Barbeque in Amarillo, Texas. With 12 years in the restaurant industry, their dream to run their own restaurant came to life when the Short Stop BBQ food truck was born 2010. When the perfect Fullerton location near Andrew’s home became available, he says, “I just couldn’t pass it up.”

Short Stop BBQ is located at 711 N. Placentia Ave.  714.869.1339
