History

Established in 1978.

Waco’s longest continuously owned barbeque restaurant was started in 1978 by Dan Henderson and partners F.E. «Buck» Massey and Elsie Dieterman. It was located at 1521 Wooded Acres Drive. Uncle Dan’s Barbeque really started to flourish in 1980 when Dan married Clara McNulty, a Baylor graduate, Magna Cum Laude 1990, and experienced restaurateur.

1988 was a turning point in Dan and Clara’s life when they decided to purchase Mr. Massey and Ms. Dieterman’s shares of Uncle Dan’s. The succeeding years brought many new items to the Uncle Dan’s lineup, including the now «famous» Texas Tater, Smoked Turkey Breast, daily fresh vegetables and fresh fruit salad. The late 1980’s also brought off-​premise catering and delivery to the Uncle Dan’s service line-​up.

In 1996, Dan and Clara bought the old Kelly’s Night Club building. After completely remodeling the building and adding another drive-​through window, Uncle Dan’s made the move to its new permanent location in May of 1998.
