Savor the Flavor of the South, Any Time, Any Place
At Philyaw's Cookout & Catering, we're passionate about serving up delicious, authentic Carolina-style barbecue and Southern favorites that bring people together. Our story began with our founder, Dino Philyaw, who grew up surrounded by the sights, smells, and tastes of traditional Southern cooking. Born and raised in North Carolina, Dino's love affair with barbecue started at a young age, watching his father and uncles slow-smoke whole hogs for family gatherings. This passion only grew stronger as he pursued a career in professional sports, eventually settling in Eugene, Oregon, where he decided to turn his love of barbecue into a business.

Our mission is simple: to share the Carolina Experience with you, wherever you are. We take pride in using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, sourced from local farmers whenever possible.
