Ship The Sauce right to your door

If you're searching for an award-winning BBQ sauce with a real story behind it, look no further than Hillsdale Bank Bar-B-Q's "The Sauce" — a small batch BBQ sauce hand-bottled in Hillsdale, Kansas, the same way it's been made for over 35 years.

In 1989, Greg and Donna Beverlin converted a historic bank building in Hillsdale into a beloved Kansas restaurant. For 26 years, it was a community gathering place. Donna welcomed guests at the door, Greg perfected his Kansas City BBQ sauce in the kitchen. When Donna passed in 2015, the restaurant closed, but Greg never stopped making The Sauce. He still bottles every batch by hand, guided by the couple's shared belief: "You work hard and stay honest, and good things will always come back to you."

The Sauce is more than a local favorite — it's an American Royal BBQ Award winner, one of the highest honors in competitive barbecue. Kansas City BBQ Judge Ardie Davis described it as a sauce with a smooth, full-bodied tomato base that perfectly balances regional sweetness with hickory smoke and pepper. Customers nationwide agree, calling it simply "the best BBQ sauce" they've ever tasted.
