DAMO BBQ DAMO BBQ: Central Texas craft & Italian twist in a bite! Mobile BBQ & catering for all events. Who are we and what do we know?

DAMO BBQ is Danny and Maggie Orlando and we grew up across the street from each other in Villa Park, IL. Danny has been a Carpenter for over 2+ decades and I have a Full time job and a bachelor’s degree in science, Psychology. No, we don’t have food backgrounds, but both of us come from BIG families. Danny is the baby of 6 and I am the baby of 8; that means we know how to appease to the masses. Th

is is what grew our interest in exploring a food business. Danny learned to cook from his Italian father, Bob, and has taken a passion for cooking with his own spin. He has been cooking for over 20+ years for family and friends. We believe our food has our heart in it and are ready to serve it to you! Come visit us at one of our Pop Up Events or hire us to serve your special occasion. Once you have DAMO meat in your mouth, you will be sure to get with the slogan, “DAM-O that’s good. Can’t go wrong with DAMO meat in your mouth!” 😂Follow us on FB or IG for details.

We missed you, SERIOUSLY! ❤️
Running a small business isn’t always what people think it is.
Behind the scenes, there are permits, regulations, and a LOT of moving pieces — and sometimes those things slow you down in ways you don’t expect.
We’ve recently run into a few of those challenges at our previous location, and instead of staying stuck in that situation, we made the decision to pivot.
We’re currently working on building something bigger, stronger, and more permanent for DAMO BBQ. Trust us — it’ll be worth the wait.
If there’s one thing this business has shown us, it’s how important it is for communities to support and understand their small businesses.
We appreciate everyone who’s checked in, supported us, and stuck by us. We’re working on something special — and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Stay with us. 🔥🙏
But do us a favor- if you have missed us, drop a ❤️ in the comments.
BTW~Opening Day was Amazing!!! Pictures to follow soon. ⚾️

⚾️ Opening Day Week… can you smell it? Because we sure can.That crack of the bat… the fresh cut grass… and yea unfortuna...

⚾️ Opening Day Week… can you smell it? Because we sure can.
That crack of the bat… the fresh cut grass… and yea unfortunately that means no smoke rolling off the pit 🔥

Quick heads up DAMO family:
We will NOT be open for the next two weeks.
We’re hitting pause to do something just as important… ❤️
We’re heading out of town to spend time with our son and catch some ⚾️.
Running this truck is everything to us, but family always comes first.
We’ll be back in April — rested, fired up, and ready!!!
We’ll be posting our new spring hours + locations soon, so stay tuned 👀
Until then… enjoy Opening Day, soak up the moments, and we’ll see you real soon.

Did you know?

☘️ St. Patrick’s Theme

Corned beef and cabbage is strongly associated with Saint Patrick's Day in America, but in Ireland the traditional meal was actually bacon and cabbage!

🔥 BBQ Fun Fact
Traditional Central Texas-style barbecue is served by the pound so you can mix and match exactly what you want — just like we do at DAMO BBQ.
