KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que: Old School BBQ with a Rich History

KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que in Prosperity has a deep lineage. In fact, KennyBo’s can trace its history back to the late 1950s.

Long before there was a KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que, Robert K. “Bo” and Annie Rose Stockman opened and ran Stockman’s Bar-B-Que for almost 30 years, from 1957-1988.

In 2017, their children, Alan and Peggy Stockman relaunched Stockman’s Bar-B-Que, and despite a sincere effort and overwhelming community support, they had to close shortly after opening.

“We wanted to carry on a family tradition. I didn’t want to deviate from that. I didn’t want it to be unique,” said Alan Stockman in a report by The Newberry Observer. He pointed out that not a lot of people cook barbecue the way the Stockman family does because it’s too hard.

Today, KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que continues in the same family tradition, inspired by their history and doing BBQ the right way.

Owner Kenny Stockman, the cook, learned this trait from his daddy, Robert K Stockman. Robert K Stockman ran Stockman’s Bar-B-Que for 15 plus years. Now, Kenny’s immediate family help run the business.

KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que pit-cooks their shoulders and hams over hickory wood for 10 to 14 hours. Offering a pulled pork option as well as whole cut options. In addition, they serve ribs and chicken.

Of course, their BBQ is made special by its mustard-based, family-owned recipe.

KennyBo’s hash is made from Boston butts and seasoned with mustard and vinegar. They sell hash by the pint or by the quart.

Note, they offer take-out only on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 8 am until we sell out. During winter, they will only be open periodically.

So, if you find yourself out traveling down Interstate 26, take a little detour to Prosperity at the right time of the month, find KennyBo’s Bar-B-Que, and strike it rich…in BBQ.

Barbara Almond urges all her connections in the area to take the short drive for some great BBQ and hash:

Okay all my Chapin SC families and friends. This is not too far. Betty makes the best hash and Kenny’s bar-b-que is awesome as well. They only do take-outs so you have a great chance to try them out.
