JACKSON TWP
Mark Albert opened the Angry Barbeque on Belden Village Street in Jackson Township more than a year ago. A retired combat veteran of Afghanistan, Albert has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Cooking is something he loves to do and it has become therapeutic for him.

“The name Angry Barbeque is named after the anger that sometimes flares up from the PTSD,” Albert said.

Albert’s restaurant is a true reflection of him and it’s representative of his time in the service. He remembers what it felt like when he retired after 24 years in the service. He didn't want to leave his house, except when he was meeting his Marine brothers. He wanted to create a restaurant where veterans wanted to be, a place they could visit and talk with others about their experiences.

The menu is designed around the military theme, also, featuring items such as the “Devil Dog” – an Angus beef hot dog topped with pulled pork, coleslaw and onion rings – and the “Hand Grenade” – a baked potato seasoned with butter and Cajun seasonings and topped with a strip of bacon, pulled pork, cheddar cheese and an onion ring.
