Peebles Bar-B-Q was started in 1947 by Ellie and Gladys Peebles. Mr. Peebles drove a school bus and started his small business on the side. The small side job turned into a major landmark in no time. He was soon joined by his two sons to help run the restaurant that had grown incredibly.

Mr. Peebles left the Bar-B-Q business to his two sons Ronnie Peebles and Jerry Peebles. And in 1981 Dale Strickland, married to Marsha Peebles Strickland, joined the brothers. Today Dale and Marsha are the current owners.
