An Indiana Classic Since 1953
Payton’s Barbecue was born in the basement of Zula Payton’s small grocery store.
Mrs. Payton perfected the recipe, and decades later, the business is still in the family. Zula’s famous barbecue recipe is still our staple but we’ve added more products to better serve Midwest families.
All-natural Ingredients
With families of our own, we want to help take care of yours.
All of our products are all natural, gluten free, fully cooked, and ready to heat and serve. We only use quality ingredients and do not add preservatives. You can feel good about serving your family a quick, healthy meal with Payton’s.
