Meet The Founders

Cre’s BBQ and Soul Food is a family-owned and operated business founded by Antwoyn and Antoinette Brown in 2021, rooted in tradition and driven by love, flavor, and community. What started as a passion for cooking quickly turned into a mission: to bring authentic Southern-style cuisine to the heart of Monterey County — one plate at a time.

Our recipes have been passed down through generations — from our grandmother’s kitchen, to our mother’s table, and now to yours. Every bite tells a story: a story of Sunday dinners, family reunions, and soul food that warms the heart.

At Cre’s, we specialize in bold, flavorful dishes like:
   •   Tender ribs
   •   Crispy fried chicken
   •   Golden fried catfish
   •   Collard greens simmered to perfection
   •   Candied yams
   •   Peach cobbler and banana pudding
   •   And our famous sweet potato pie that tastes just like home

We take pride in putting ourselves into every meal we serve. This is more than just food — it’s our culture, our roots, and our love, shared with every customer who pulls up to the trailer.

At Cre’s BBQ and Soul Food, you’re not just getting a meal — you’re joining a legacy.

Feed your soul with Cre’s BBQ and Soul Food.
