OUR HISTORY

5 GENERATIONS OF BUTCHERS AND FARMERS

Farming and the meat trade have been in the Grega family for over 150 years. . Going back 5 generations to our farm in Slovakia in the 1860’s. My great, great grandparents were butchers on a small farm in Slovakia. My Great Grandfather Zada, born in 1897, was a butcher and a carpenter. My Great Grandmother Baba, born in 1901, would help Zada butcher meats as well. Zada came to America in 1923 to Michigan to continue as a butcher and a carpenter in the “Promised Land.” My Grandfather, Bert (top left picture) Followed the family roots but migrated towards the American style (Barbecue) of meat smoking.

Please come on in and enjoy 5 generations of experience in this industry complimented by the perfect selection of music. We look forward to serving you just as well as we have been serving others for 150+ years.

Cheers,

The Reverend Paddy Danks
Founder- Danky’s Bar-B-Q
