We keep comparisons fair by accounting for shipping and handling where applicable. Questions? Our team is happy to help—because we create Backyard Heroes, and that starts with great value and great service.

Welcoming environment ~ excellent experience.

As a single mom I was intimidated to shop for a BBQ on my own. When I walked in the show room near closing time 4 women greeted me. The 2 men delivering my BBQ were friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent experience. Merci!

Capital BBQ has it all

My husband and I have bought multiple items from Capital BBQ - most recently a XL Green Egg last year and gorgeous Berlin Gardens patio furniture this year. We have always had a great experience, but this last transaction for the garden furniture was truly exceptional. Kirk Sharkey went out of his way to ensure we were happy with every aspect of our purchase, and his delivery guys were also A+. We are singing Kirk's praises and everyone who has seen the new furniture is blown away by how fabulous it is. Kirk, we will be back next year to furnish the lower deck area. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
