About Us

Welcome to Doin’ the Buttz – Where Smoke, Fire, and Flavor Collide!

At Doin’ the Buttz, barbecue isn’t just food—it’s a way of life. Born in Washington, D.C., Reggie learned early on that a good meal is more than just nourishment—it’s an act of love. As the oldest of three boys, he watched his mother, Dianee, create magic in the kitchen, filling their home with the rich aromas of fresh tomatoes, garlic, and oregano while cooking his favorite meal—spaghetti. That passion for food and providing for others stayed with him, shaping the foundation of what Doin’ the Buttz is today.

​

For Reggie, barbecue isn’t just about smoking meat—it’s about community, tradition, and giving back. Whether feeding his own children, delivering meals to families in need, or cooking for those grieving the loss of a loved one, he believes that a shared meal brings people together. His dedication extends beyond his business, as he volunteers his time and talent to cook for fundraisers and community events, always ensuring that no one goes hungry.

 

At Doin’ the Buttz, we take pride in doing barbecue the right way—low and slow, over real fruitwood smoke. No shortcuts. No electronic smokers. Just patience, skill, and deep, bold flavors that can only come from authentic wood-fired cooking. From fall-off-the-bone ribs to juicy pulled pork, smoked chicken, and our legendary turkey legs, every bite is a testament to true Southern barbecue.

Pair it with our signature homemade sides—like creamy mac and cheese, smoked turkey collard greens, or our irresistible sweet potato crunch—and you’ve got a meal that’s as comforting as it is unforgettable.

​

Whether you're planning a wedding, corporate event, backyard party, or community gathering, Doin’ the Buttz is here to bring the fire, the smoke, and the soul to your table. Because for us, barbecue isn’t just about the food—it’s about the people we share it with.

Let’s eat!
