About Coach Nick’s BBQ

Welcome to Coach Nick’s BBQ — where smoke, fire, and flavor come together with heart, hustle, and purpose. I’m Coach Nick, the pitmaster and founder of @coachnicksbbq. What began as casual weekend cookouts quickly grew into a passion for crafting bold, crave-worthy barbecue that brings people together. Whether it’s brisket, ribs, pulled pork, or my custom rubs and sides, everything I make is rooted in technique, patience, and the belief that good food builds great community.


With a background in coaching and a mindset built on discipline and execution, I approach barbecue the same way I approached the field — with a plan, precision, and a deep commitment to excellence. I bring that same energy into my catering business, whether I’m serving an intimate gathering of 20 or a large-scale event for 225. Every detail matters — from smoke temps to seasoning blends — because I’m not just serving food, I’m creating an experience. My menu features BBQ staples like tri-tip, smoked turkey, bone marrow, and scratch-made sides, all designed to leave a lasting impression.

Through @coachnicksbbq, I’ve also built a community of BBQ lovers, weekend warriors, and rising pitmasters eager to learn and level up. I share tips, recipes, gear recs, and behind-the-scenes content to help others grow their skills and confidence at the pit. Whether you’re looking to book unforgettable catering or simply hungry to sharpen your BBQ game, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for stopping by — now let’s fire it up.
