Get to
know us

McKinnon’s BBQ & Soul is the dream come true of Vernon McKinnon, a Richmond County native who has been cooking since childhood. Taught by his mother and grandmother, Vernon grew up perfecting the art of Sunday dinners, bbq competitions, community events, and family cookouts. After retirement, he turned his lifelong passion into a business—bringing his own food trailer to the community and sharing the flavors he loves.

At McKinnon’s BBQ & Soul, we believe in quality ingredients, homemade recipes, fair pricing, and real flavor with soul. Our food is crafted with care, using techniques and recipes that have been passed down through generations.

Our customers keep coming back for our signature dishes: fried pork chops, smoked mac and cheese, and candied yams—all served with that authentic, soulful touch. Operating as a food trailer, we bring our meals to pop-up events around Rockingham, NC, making every bite a celebration of community and comfort food.

Friendly, soulful, and full of heart, McKinnon’s BBQ & Soul is more than just food—it’s a taste of home, a family tradition, and a connection to the community.
