Fire at Southbay BBQ

Submitted by Katherine on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 8:10pm.

A little after 8 pm tonight my husband called to say that it appeared Southbay BBQ (Legion & Jefferson)was on fire. I drove by and saw the street was closed. Several fire engines and a few squad cars were at the scene. No one knows the damage yet, but the external walls didn't seem to be on fire. Having experienced a fire at Clubside that shut us down for a long time, I hope that the damage was minimal, the insurance coverage good and most of all that everyone is safe.

Got down to the BBQ at around 8:30 or so, as the fire department was leaving. Things are going to be Ok. The fire was contained to the interior of the smoker and the stack. Lots of water on the floor and smoke in the air, but otherwise little damage. Eric and family will replace the stack and rooftop ventilation fan by noon and should be re-opened for dinner Friday. Thanks to those of you that checked in and stopped by to help tonight. This community is awesome!
