🌟 Business of the Week 🌟
This week's Business of the Week is none other than Mimsy's Craft Barbecue - A locally owned family business that has become a Crockett favorite and a recognized destination for barbecue lovers across Texas.
When people think of great Texas barbecue, they often think of the big cities. But right here in Crockett, we are fortunate to have a destination restaurant that has earned recognition from barbecue enthusiasts across the state and beyond. From their expertly smoked meats and incredible house-made specialties to their famous Friday Steak Nights, Mimsy's has put Crockett on the map for food lovers.
Now in their 5th year of business, Mimsy's Craft Barbecue is owned and operated by high school sweethearts Kathy and Wade. Together, they have built not only a successful restaurant, but a family-centered business that helps support nine local employees. When they're not serving up some of the best barbecue in Texas, they're busy raising their three daughters, Marley (12), Ellie (10), and Kimberlynn (3).
Their dedication and commitment to their family, business, and community are evident in everything they do. Through long hours, perseverance, and a passion for serving others, they have created something truly special right here in Crockett.
Beyond the restaurant itself, Kathy, Wade, and the Mimsy's team have become known for their commitment to the Crockett community. Whether it's supporting local events, helping with fundraisers, celebrating community successes, or lending a hand during difficult times, Mimsy's is always willing to show up. Their investment in our community extends far beyond the meals they serve.
Small businesses are the heart of every community, and locally owned restaurants face challenges that many people never see. Every meal purchased, every gift card bought, every social media share, and every recommendation to friends and family makes a difference.
If you've been meaning to stop by, this is your sign. If it's been a while since your last visit, consider making it a point this week. And if you're already a regular, tell us your favorite item on the menu in the comments below!
This week, let's celebrate not only a great restaurant, but the family, employees, and hard work behind it. Let's show some much deserved love to a business that has spent years showing love to our community. ❤️
Thank you Mimsy's, for being a big part of what makes Crockett such a special place to call home.
