Underdog BBQ cut the ribbon for their brand-new location on Friday.

The barbecue joint that was originally made famous on the TV show "Undercover Millionaire" opened their new location under new ownership at the former Perkins' location on West 8th Street near Lowell Avenue, after nearly a year of operating out of a food truck.

Owner Ashley Messenger says it's been a difficult, but rewarding experience.

"It's hard to spend every waking day with the same people and without having interpersonal, you know, conflict sometimes. And it's kind of like being a part of a family, you know? It's exciting. I think we're all excited. I think we're all a little bit nervous," said Messenger. "Naturally, I feel like in a way, a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that we're able to open. And at the same time, I have a little bit more weight on my shoulders."

Underdog BBQ officially opened its doors at 11 a.m., right in time for lunch.
