About Big Apple BBQ

Welcome to Big Apple BBQ Center, NYC. We’re glad you’re here.

If you’ve got a NYC minute to spare, let me tell you a little bit about who we are and where we came from.

I opened Big Apple BBQ Center in 1989 as NYC’s first and only specialty retail store exclusively selling barbeque equipment.

Our line of grills include propane and natural gas grills, charcoal grills, infrared grills, and electric grills, too. Our service department is the best in the industry, and staffed by our dedicated team of professionally-trained technicians.

Unlike our competitors such as the “big box” NYC stores or other online stores, being in the business for so many years has given us valuable hands-on experience with just about every make and model of barbeque grill for the last two decades. And we put this experience to work for our customers every day by individually selecting each barbeque grill we sell based on value, quality, and years of reliable service and parts availability.

Another thing that sets us apart is how easy we make it for you. Whether you’re browsing our website for a specific grill, just doing some research, or even price-checking, feel free to give us a call if you have any questions. Nobody knows more than our staff of barbeque grill aficionados. We’ll be happy to help you choose a grill that best serves your needs.

And lastly, we’re New Yorkers. Like you. That makes us neighbors. And neighbors look out for each other. So when you give us the privilege of serving you as a customer, we start that relationship by offering hand assembly and delivery. That’s right, assembly and delivery to all the NYC Metropolitan areas including Queens, Manhattan, Brooklyn and the Bronx. Pretty much everything but the grilling. We’ll leave that to you. But we want you to enjoy your new grill quickly and safely, it’s the least we can do to say thanks.

(We love you too, New Jersey and Connecticut – you’re neighbors as well! Call us. We promise to do our best for you!)

So take a look around the site, compare and then give us a call. You will see why we are the best in the business.

Sincerely,
