Hello

Tommy Nevill

The man behind the smoke.

A native Floridian and dedicated family man, Tommy began his studies at the Disney Culinary Institute and continued at Florida State University's Dedman School of Hospitality. After graduating, Tommy joined Consolidated Restaurant Operations in 2008 as Executive Chef at Silver Fox Steakhouse in Richardson, Texas. While heading up the grand opening and training teams in major markets including Houston, Boca Raton, Jacksonville, Hallandale Beach, Denver, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Dubai, he was then Proprietor and Executive Chef of the Hallandale and the PGA III Forks locations. Tommy delved into the barbecue circuit in 2007 while catering for hundreds of Dallas Cowboys players, coaches, and staff before starting with Consolidated Restaurant Operations.

A creative chef with a magnetic personality, he developed the concept of NEVS Barbecue over the years but had to postpone the barbecue dream awhile as he traveled extensively for work. In 2021 after PGA III Forks closed, Tommy saw the silver lining and realized that he was finally able to pursue his passion for barbecue and obsession for creating high quality smoked meats. Tommy searched for a location to open his own barbecue restaurant, NEVS Barbecue in Palm Beach Gardens.
