I've known Amber, Nick, and their family for years. They brought their truck to many events I attended, charity projects I was involved in, and concerts all over the tri-state. Not only are they nice, down-to-earth people, but they know how to cook smokin' good BBQ.

WHAT HAPPENED TO TRI-R-TIPS?

It's hard to believe the Tri-R-Tips BBQ Food Truck rolled into Owensboro over 7 years ago. They had just relocated from California. They had won various cooking competitions out west and were excited to bring their delicious style of BBQ to the community. They made their debut at the 39th Annual International Bar-B-Q Festival.

In July 2022, they left Owensboro to serve the masses in Panama City Beach, Florida. They haven't returned since then, until now!

Honestly, we can’t wait to come back and see ya'll again, maybe just as much as you can’t wait for us to be back!

TRI-R-TIPS BBQ FOOD TRUCK MAKES DELICIOUS ANNOUNCEMENT

The Rose family will pack up and head north for Spring Break. They announced on social media to everyone's excitement. The truck will be set up at various locations around Owensboro serving lunch from Tuesday, March 19th through Saturday, March 23rd, 2023. They'll share the complete schedule HERE when it gets closer.

Neal James was best known as “The Banjo Man” from Animal Planet’s “The Call of the Wildman”. In 2018, he came to Friday After 5 for a Christmas Wish fundraiser. My husband told him he needed to try the HUGE BBQ-topped potato from the Tri-R-Tips food truck. The look on his face was priceless. He loved it!

Unfortunately, Neal passed away in 2019 from natural causes at 55 years old.
