ABOUT US

OUR STORY

Meet Chef Keenan Handy, the father of Real California BBQ and founder of Hambone’s. Born and raised in Compton, Keenan learned the art of cooking and smoking meat from his parents. With over 20 years experience as a pitmaster and restauranteur, his culinary creations have delighted the tastebuds of everyone from professional athletes to your next door neighbors. At Hambone’s, we believe the difference is in the details. That’s why our meat is smoked to perfection in a wood-fired barbecue pit with a secret blend of woods and spices that make our California BBQ so special. We offer three different signature BBQ sauces all of which are made in-house. We pride ourselves on both the quality and consistency of our food. We use only the finest ingredients and the highest quality meat to serve our community. Crafted with care & served with a smile, Hambone’s is Real California BBQ.
