about us

For over 60 years combined restaurant experience, Javier and Jesus have spent their lives in the restaurant industry, building a passion for great food, genuine hospitality, and meaningful customer experiences.

After proudly serving the Pelham community for more than 20 years, they are excited to begin a new chapter with Creekside BBQ, bringing the same commitment to quality food and exceptional service into the world of barbecue.

At Creekside BBQ, we believe that dining is more than just a meal…it’s about creating an experience. From family-friendly gatherings to great food made with care, we want every guest to feel welcomed, comfortable, and part of something special.

Surrounded by a nature-inspired atmosphere, our goal is simple: serve top-notch BBQ, provide outstanding customer service, and continue being a place where our community loves to gather.

We’re proud to be part of this community, and excited to keep growing with it!

The Concept

Oak Mountain Creekside BBQ is centered around great BBQ, soulful music, and good vibes. Offering a patchwork of the region's varying takes on smoked meats - Alabama-style chicken, North Carolina pork, Memphis kissed ribs - along with Chef-inspired sides, there is something for everyone.

Stationed in a former Waffle House, nestled above Bishop Creek, the renovations include custom accommodations for a Texas-made Oyler 700 smoker slated to serve the restaurant and catering operations. A solid brick building with 40 interior seats also boasts the addition of a covered patio with 48 seats overlooking the creek.

Intended to serve the Pelham community and visitors of the beautiful, 9,940-acre state park, the locally owned and operated eatery celebrates the South and all its' bounty. Whether you are about to soak up the sounds at Oak Mountain Amphitheater, enjoy a Birmingham Bulls game at the Pelham Civic Complex, mountain bike, or hike through the state park, Creekside BBQ is the perfect pit stop for authentic, fall-off-the-bone BBQ.
