Barnegat: Big Barlow’s BBQ known for their great food, Back the blue events, helping first responders and veterans in the community are closing their doors for good. They released the following statement today.

We want to thank everyone for their support over the last 2.5 years! We have had some great moments and some low moments! We regret to inform everyone that once we run out of food this week we will be closing our doors to the restaurant! Due to the influx in meat prices and shortages on staff we have no control over this.

We have lost far too much money over the last 7 months to make a comeback. We will however offer catering and get back to being mobile over time! we appreciate every single one of y’all and this is not goodbye just a new beginning!

We know many people will be upset by this and we also know that some will be happy. Just know that this was our decision and we accepted it!

This is not fake or a hacker this is real. Again we thank everyone for their support.

Good luck Chris Barlow in the future! We know you’ll back back soon!
