OUR STORY
225 BBQ began in 2019 in Thayne, Wyoming as a small 20-seat barbecue shack where everything was cooked in the smoker. What started as a passion for great barbecue quickly grew into something much bigger thanks to the incredible support of our customers and community.
In 2023, we opened our second location in Afton, purchasing a new building and building the restaurant from the ground up. By 2024, we had moved all of our operations from Thayne to our new home in Afton.
The move allowed us to expand from a smoker-focused menu to a full-service kitchen, giving us the opportunity to offer much more while staying true to our barbecue roots. Today, our menu features a variety of appetizers, steaks, seafood, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and of course, great barbecue. We also offer craft cocktails, regional whiskeys, local brews, mocktails, and a variety of non-alcoholic beverages.
We truly appreciate every customer, both old and new, who has supported us along the way. Our goal is simple: provide great food, exceptional service, and the best experience possible every time you visit.
MORE THAN BBQ
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
While barbecue remains at the heart of what we do, our expanded kitchen allows us to offer a diverse menu that has something for everyone. Whether you’re craving slow-smoked meats, a perfectly cooked steak, fresh seafood, a handcrafted burger, or a crisp salad, you’ll find plenty of options to enjoy.
Pair your meal with a craft cocktail, regional whiskey, local beer, or one of our refreshing mocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
Whether you’re joining us for a family dinner, a night out with friends, or simply stopping by for great food and drinks, we’re proud to serve the Star Valley community and visitors from across the region.
This version feels much more like a successful restaurant that’s grown and evolved, rather than a small BBQ shack trying to convince people it’s good.
The Best BBQ Around!
LOCAL, ETHICALLY SOURCED INGREDIENTS
We believe in smoking our meats using only premium hardwoods at a low temperature for a long time to make sure our meats have that rich, smoky flavor.
We make everything in-house, from our salads to our Mac n Cheese, and our excellent sauces are unique and add to the incredible BBQ experience!
We also believe in exceptional service and treating everyone like family! Your experience here will be unforgettable and you’ll always enjoy coming back!
