About Us
Mesqute Barbecue was established in 1959 by Herbert Oyler, who also
invented the Oyler rotisserie smoker pit, which is used all over the world
today. he partnered with Leon Crouch to handle operations (a former pit
master at Red Bryan’s) at Mesquite BBQ.
Oyler met an untimely death in 1973, Leon Crouch, would take over with
his wife Katy and continue with Mesquite Barbecue. When Leon passed
away in 1983, his son Kent Crouch took the reins along with his mother
Katy. Kent moved the shop one street South to its current location.
In 1996 Kent married Lisa and she too would join the team. The pair
becan building the foundation, we all know and love today. Lisa would
add a stuffed baked potato to the menu. (Thank you, Lisa). They also
hired on their oldest son Dustin in 2007 as manager. Dustin’s wife
Melanie would join in 2009 to prepare and execute a dessert menu.
With Kent’s retirement in December 2017 his son Dustin Palmer, be-
came the proud owner and operator along with his wife Melanie. Dustin
and his family are honored to contine the legacy of Mesquite Barbecue
for many years to come.
