New BBQ Joint Opens Wednesday In Bristol

BRISTOL BOROUGH, PA -- Chuck’s BBQ, a Texas-style eatery offering an array of sandwiches and BBQ, will be opening next week in Bristol. The take-out store will be located in a renovated space on Pond Street.

Chuck's BBQ, which will open Wednesday, Feb. 14, is a take-out joint featuring down-home Texas-style barbecue using slow-and-low smoking techniques. Menu items will include sandwiches, soup, homemade chili, as well as items for kids. Desserts will include cobblers, and frozen treats once spring arrives.

"All of the BBQ joint’s savory offerings are cooked on Chuck’s custom-built 8-foot long Texas-style smoker that holds hundreds of pounds of meat. The smoker will be fired up every day, burning woods like hickory, cherry and apple—as well as mesquite and pecan--to cook the brisket, chicken, bone-in pork butt and ribs low and slow," an announcement from the restaurant said.

Catering will also be offered.

Guernsey, owner and head chef, is a Texas native who became passionate about cooking while serving in the Navy after high school. He is a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu Institute of Culinary Arts in Austin, Texas and the Culinary Institute of America, in Napa Valley, California.

He worked in New Hope and Philadelphia before deciding to start his own venture.

“Chuck’s BBQ is going to be a local staple here in Lower Bucks,” said Guernsey. “I’m honored to be able to take all of my experience, tie in my hometown flavors and serve people delicious BBQ that is hard to find here up North."

On opening day —Feb. 14 — the first 30 customers will receive “Chuck Yeah” BBQ t-shirts.

Chuck's BBQ will be located at 2 Pond St., Bristol. Hours will be Tuesday-Sunday from 11AM-9PM.
