The Chiavetta’s Story

A Buffalo, NY Tradition Since 1954

It all started on a small poultry farm in Brant, NY. Since then, we’ve been a go-to for bold, crowd-pleasing BBQ. 

The Secret’s in the Sauce. Our signature marinade is all about balance – bold, tangy, and packed with tradition. Crafted in Buffalo and passed down through generations, it’s your go-to for chicken, pork, beef, veggies, and more. Marinate, grill, roast, or slow cook. However you use it, the flavor speaks for itself.

For over 70 years, we’ve served Western New York with one mission: bring people together through unforgettable flavor.  Read More >
