Welcome to Mackie’s Barbecue
Mackie’s is a family-owned barbecue business proudly rooted in Maryland, inspired by the bold, smoky traditions of Texas-style ‘cue.
The name honors our family’s legacy—built by our parents, who spent decades serving the community before retiring and recently downsizing the business.
Today, we continue their vision with the same dedication to quality, hospitality, and slow-smoked flavor that made Mackie’s a local favorite from the start.
Maryland Barbecue with Texas Roots
Our barbecue is proudly rooted in Maryland, but our style is inspired by bold Texas-style ‘cue. That means slow-smoked meats, deep flavor, and food that feels right for lunch, dinner, or a family meal.
We keep things simple, honest, and focused on quality, just the way great barbecue should be.

Probably the best BBQ I’ve ever had! The barbecue is packed with incredible flavor, and every side dish is just as impressive. The coleslaw is fresh and crisp, the creamy crab dip is absolutely delicious, and the mac & cheese with its buttery breadcrumb topping is pure comfort food. Everything tasted homemade, and the portions were generous. If you’re looking for amazing BBQ with equally outstanding sides, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!
Delicious food and even better customer service! They go above and beyond to support our local community with the thing that brings people together the most: food. One of the best small businesses with so much heart, passion, and kindness. They are exceptional in every single way.
Remarkable food and great service despite ordering on the 4th of July. Sides, mains, and even desserts were all perfectly made and really flavorful.
