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.

What People Say

Straight from Our Customers

Don't just take our word for it — hear from the folks who keep coming back.

Best ribs in St. Pete, hands down. The meat falls right off the bone. Been coming every Friday since they opened.

Marcus T.

The oxtails on Sunday are incredible — my whole family drives from Tampa just for those. Worth every penny.

Lisa M.

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

David R.

Johnny puts his heart into this food and you can taste it. The brisket and mac & cheese combo is unbeatable.

Angela W.

Finally, real BBQ in the neighborhood. The smoked sausage sandwich is my go-to every Saturday.

Carlos P.

Online ordering makes it so easy — place my order, swing by, and dinner is ready. Love the turkey wings!
