Protect Your BBQ Restaurant With Coverage That’s Built to Handle the Heat

We tailor commercial insurance for BBQ joints, smokehouses, and pitmasters, all created by our experts who understand the restaurant business inside and out.

We Know BBQ And The Business Behind It

Running a BBQ restaurant takes more than great recipes. You’ve got fires to manage, meat to smoke, staff to train, and guests who expect perfection every time. Between hot pits, sharp tools, and packed weekends, one accident or equipment failure can shut you down fast.

That’s where Aegis Insurance & Financial Services comes in. We’re a Texas-based insurance agency specializing in Restaurant Insurance, licensed in 47 states, and trusted by BBQ restaurants and pitmasters nationwide. Our job is to keep your business protected so you can keep feeding your guests without missing a beat.

BBQ Restaurant Risks That Can Burn Your Bottom Line

Each BBQ restaurant faces unique hazards that most other businesses don’t. The right coverage helps you prepare for what’s most likely to go wrong.

• Fire and Smoke Damage: Kitchen and pit fires are among the top causes of restaurant losses.
• Equipment Breakdown: A failed smoker or walk-in cooler can mean lost product and lost income.
• Food Spoilage: Power outages or equipment issues can destroy thousands of dollars in inventory.
• Employee Injuries: Burns, cuts, and lifting injuries are common in high-heat, high-volume kitchens.
• Guest Liability: Slip-and-fall accidents or food-related claims can happen any day of the week.
• Theft or Vandalism: A growing problem for restaurants with overnight smokers, outdoor setups, catering trailers, or delivery vehicles.
