About Us

It all began in 1999 when Johnny Carter Jr.

It all began in 1999 in Lakeland, Florida in a concession trailer selling ribs and chicken to anybody that wanted some good smoked, tender, tasty barbeque smothered in a mustard base barbeque sauce. Carter’s Barbeque is a family owned restaurant in Mulberry, Florida. It was Carter’s paternal grandmother, who first found commercial success with a sauce that had been handed down through generations of her relatives… It was customer demand that prompted Carter’s to make our great food and our signature barbecue sauces available for everyone wanting a great BBQ experience. Our signature BBQ sauce has also won several national awards ,including first place in the 2015 Scovie awards; second place in the 2015 Texas Man Up competition, and fourth-place prize in 2015 Kansas City Barbecue Society competition. Now you can enjoy our award winning BBQ with the GREAT teats of southern BBQ…Thanks
