Not Your Average Catering Company

Jody Harnois, the owner of Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us a bit about his award-winning catering company and its impressive online reputation.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Jody what it is that makes Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ unique compared to the many other catering companies in South Dakota. Jody points to the fact that they are a family business with family recipes, and that their BBQ sauce is more than 80 years old! He shared with us that they cook all of their food from scratch over corncobs and hickory, that they have a reputation that speaks for itself and that they use quality equipment and recipes.

We also asked Jody what their mission is at Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ. Jody said that they aim to serve the best BBQ possible and to represent their family heritage.

Building Success Through Good Food and Reasonable Prices

Jody attributes Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ’s strong online reputation to the good quality food they serve, and to the reasonable prices they serve it for.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ has gotten their name out there through social media and by reaching out to people.

There are so many business owners out there looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Jody’s expert advice for those business owners:
