About Us

Mike Magill, is the owner and Pit Master of Mean Moe’s BBQ.  

STARTED AT THE GRILL.
Mike found his love for cooking over open fire flipping burgers at Harvey's. What started as a teenager's 1st job turned into a lifelong obsession with the BBQ. That passion followed him across borders—from living within the high-heat, bold-spice culture of Negril, Jamaica, to the open fires of African adventures.

While living in Leesburg, Virginia, the hobby turned serious. Mike spent those years mastering the off-set smoker—learning how the wood burned, how the heat moved, and exactly what it took to get it right every time. When he moved back to Canada, he started winning neighborhood cooking contests, and the fire became a way of life. A hobby gone wrong in all the right ways.

In 2015, Mike headed to Unadilla, Georgia, to the legendary Jack’s Old South, run by 4-time World Champion Myron Mixon. It was there he learned to cook competition BBQ -Hot & Fast—the very method that defines Mean Moe’s BBQ today.

In 2016, long-time friend Nick O’Donnell joined the Mean Moe's BBQ team. They hit the professional KCBS circuit and never looked back. Their first outing ended with a 1st place Brisket and 4th Overall—all the validation they needed to take the Mean Moe’s BBQ name across North America.

Mean Moe's BBQ made our BMW Markham event absolutely unforgettable with their incredible food and outstanding service!

Mean Moe's BBQ truly exceeded our expectations! We contacted Mike to explore catering options for a multi-shift colleague appreciation event at the Loblaw Distribution Centre in East Gwillimbury, and from the start, their flexibility and responsiveness were outstanding. The entire 3-shift event ran seamlessly.

The food was, simply put, phenomenal. The brisket sandwiches were the undisputed highlight, creating a real buzz throughout the DC! What impressed us most was Mean Moe's dedication to ensuring all our colleagues could participate, with thoughtful accommodations for various dietary needs. It's rare to find a BBQ company that prioritizes both flavor and inclusivity with such success.
Mean Moe's BBQ delivers on all fronts.

We used Mean Moe's BBQ for multiple corporate summer events in Waterloo, Oakville, and Muskoka. The food was always incredible, and the attendees always raved. They were easy to work with, and we'd highly recommend them for any events you're hosting.

"Mean Moe's BBQ made our Starport Main event a unique and memorable dinner. The interaction with the staff and our members explaining the entire BBQ process was unique and personal. The pulled chicken and smoked brisket were mouthwatering. The sides of beans, mac n cheese and cornbread were the perfect accompaniment. It was a power team of two and are guests were more than satisfied.”

Our Stroud Curling club recently hosted a “Bourbon Tasting” event and we had Mean Moe’s provide the food pairings. Well it was spectacular and so very delicious. We provided the nosing and tasting notes of each of the 4 bourbons and they expertly paired the food to each one. All you could hear around the room was OMG this is fabulous, is there more. Everyone was licking their fingers and maybe even a few plates. Lol. Mike and Nick are so professional and are very particular about the food they serve. The presentation is top notch too.
You won’t be disappointed with their food. It’s beyond good! Thanks guys you made our event an absolute hit. See at our next one!
