Six years after opening its first brick-and-mortar location at 1516 N Tamarind Ave. in West Palm Beach, popular barbecue and soul food chain Off Tha Bone BBQ is preparing to expand to a second location, this time at 4065 Haverhill Road, Suite B1. The second location represents another step forward for founder and owner Chef Daniel Spann, who describes owning a restaurant as a long-held dream.
“We started on the side of the road with just a grill and truck,” the chef told What Now on Thursday, adding, with a laugh: “And we’re not talking about a food truck. I mean a truck pulling a grill.”
In addition to a lot of hard work and perseverance, Spann says the ingredients for the barbecue brand’s success have been simple: good food and good customer service.
Known for its pork ribs, Off Tha Bone’s menu also features proteins like smoked sausage, pulled pork, and Pork Souse (A Southern favorite which goes fast; typically available on the weekends). There’s also a chicken sandwich, a smoked turkey leg, and the combination Chicken & Ribs. Sides include Macaroni & Cheese, Collard Greens, Baked Beans, Pigeon Peas & Rice, and Potato Salad. Spann says the new location will also be adding brisket and beef ribs.
For its second location, Off Tha Bone is emphasizing consistency. “A lot of times, with the second location, the food takes a hit,” said Spann. “But my background isn’t money, it’s character and principle. Good food and good customer service is high on the list.”
Anything else you’d like to add? asked What Now.
“I want to thank the community for supporting a young man with a dream,” Spann said. “I really appreciate the people who have stood behind me. Thank you. There’s more to come.”
