About Us

Founded and operated by San Diego pitmasters Noah Bloom and Ryan Huska, we bring authentic, uncompromising Texas-style BBQ to Southern California.

Driven by passion

We never cut corners on quality. Whether it’s sourcing premium BMS 9+, 100% full-blood Wagyu genetics for our brisket, or slow-smoking our melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, every single item on the menu is crafted with obsession. From our premium meats to our legendary "dirty fries"—loaded with a three-cheese blend, house-made Altar BBQ sauce, candied jalapeños, sweet pickles, and onions—Backyard Altar BBQ ensures every plate serves up the kind of food that brings people together.

You won't find us confined to a single brick-and-mortar. We take the smoke directly to the community, popping up at local farmers markets and San Diego's best breweries.
