Our Story
Born in a backyard.
Built in a smokehouse.
Hickory Joe's started the way real BBQ always does — late nights, an obsession with bark, and a smoker that wouldn't quit. Today we run three smokers across Malta and Gozo, but the recipe hasn't changed.
Hand-rubbed. Low and slow. No shortcuts. Every brisket gets twelve hours over real hickory. Every bun is baked that morning. Every sauce is made in our kitchen, by us.
