BBQ Sauce

Our sauces are inspired by countless miles traveled, meals shared around smokers and campfires, days spent on the water, and years of learning what great barbecue should taste like. Every bottle reflects the traditions of the Northwoods while embracing the bold flavors that make Southern barbecue legendary.

At Northwoods LG BBQ, we believe barbecue should enhance your food, not cover it up. That's why our sauces feature a smooth, versatile consistency that works equally well as a marinade, finishing sauce, glaze, dipping sauce, or cooking ingredient.

Whether you're preparing fresh-caught fish, wild game, chicken, pork, beef, ribs, brisket, burgers, shrimp, or pulled pork, our sauces are crafted to deliver bold flavor while allowing the natural character of the food to shine through.

Today, Northwoods LG BBQ products can be found in restaurants, retail locations, outdoor events, and specialty venues throughout Northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, with continued expansion throughout the Carolinas, Tennessee, Florida, and the Southeast.
