Their ribs and sauce are so famous that celebrities and politicians make it a point to stop by and try some. Every president since Gerald Ford has tried Montgomery Inn is one of their claim to fame.

With those wins the founder of Big Dogg BBQ (who is also a Army Veteran) started up a food truck that has had great success to go along with the great tasting cue that they sell. Their success has been so good that a second food truck was started in order to be at more than one place at one time.
