The history of Texas BBQ goes back centuries, and this is especially true for Mesquite BBQ. Mesquite trees grow in abundance in the hot and arid climate of the southwestern U.S., and it’s believed that indigenous Americans have used it for both fuel and food for hundreds of years. Mesquite Barbecue was established in 1959 by Herbert Oyler, who also invented the Oyler rotisserie smoker pit, which is used all over the world today. he partnered with Leon Crouch to handle operations (a former pitmaster at Red Bryan’s) at Mesquite BBQ.
Oyler met an untimely death in 1973, Leon Crouch, would take over with his wife Katy and continue with Mesquite Barbecue. When Leon passed away in 1983, his son Kent Crouch took the reins along with his mother Katy. Kent moved the shop one street South to its current location.
In 1996 Kent married Lisa and she too would join the team. The pair began building the foundation, they all know and love today. Lisa would add a stuffed baked potato to the menu. (Thank you, Lisa). They also hired on their oldest son Dustin in 2007 as manager. Dustin’s wife Melanie would join in 2009 to prepare and execute a dessert menu. With Kent’s retirement in December 2017 his son Dustin Palmer, became the proud owner and operator along with his wife Melanie. Dustin and his family are honored to continue the legacy of Mesquite Barbecue for many years to come.
