Our Story
BBQ Done Right
Born from a passion for smoke and fire, J News BBQ Grill brings authentic, pit-smoked flavors to Tampa Bay.
Real Wood Smoke
We smoke every cut over oak and cherry wood — no shortcuts, no gas, no gimmicks.
Low & Slow
Our brisket spends 14+ hours in the smoker. Great BBQ takes time and we never rush it.
Made with Love
Every sauce, rub, and side is handcrafted from scratch using family recipes.

“Ordered the sampler platter and every single item was on point. The peach cobbler is the real deal.”
