He has a devoted group of followers who take their barbecue seriously, he's his own boss and he can eat a chopped brisket sandwich just about whenever he feels like it. Yes, Tyler Frazer is living the life!  Running a restaurant is by no means easy, but as Tyler takes lunch orders, prepares ribs and answers questions about the menu, he makes running a restaurant look like a walk in the park.

Tyler worked with Julie Attebury at the SBDC and she was able to guide him through the start-up process and help him decide on a legal formation and ensure that the business had everything it needed before opening. Thanks to Tyler's previous experience working with restaurants, the opening went smoothly and continues today.

New restaurants many times have hard starts with few customers, but rarely is there a time at Tyler's when they don't have a room full of customers enjoying the food and laid-back atmosphere. The barbeque is made fresh each day and when it's gone, they close up shop until the next morning. Tyler is famous for his barbeque ribs, but the peach cobbler is a favorite with customers and the huge chopped beef sandwiches are a meal on their own.

Give Tyler's Barbeque a try next time you have a craving for barbeque, but be warned, go early or you may not get a parking spot!
