Miss Essie's Southern BBQ Sauce is a 100 year old recipe of pure authentic southern excellence. Originated in Arkansas by Miss Essie's father, this BBQ sauce was a close kept family secret that Miss Essie passed onto her son Manuel Jones with hopes that he would continue on the tradition of making authentic southern BBQ sauces, smoked meats and southern style cuisine. Miss Essie's Southern BBQ, LLC started in June of 2003. We are a food processing and manufacturing company that specializes in pre-cooked smoked BBQ meats and BBQ sauces for food distribution. Today our goal is to share Miss Essie's tradition with your family, friends, and neighbors.
