A Legacy Lit By Fire
Michael Jones began his restaurant career in 1982, working across fine dining, quick service, and everything in between. After decades of hands-on experience, he opened his first restaurant—Jones’ Outpost—in 2017. The success of that venture set the stage for something even bigger.
“The first rib recipe came from my grandma. She believed if you fed people right, you fed their soul.”
From Local Fields To The Pit
Inspired by his love for bold flavors and backyard cookouts, Michael turned his attention to a true American classic: barbecue. That’s when Smokin' Jones BBQ was born. What started as a passion project quickly built a loyal following, thanks to smoked meats done right and a welcoming, no-shortcuts approach to food and service.
The hickory smoke, the tender meat, the freshness in every bite—this is food with a purpose.
More Than A Meal—It’s Home
By 2024, the unmistakable flavor and community feel of Smokin' Jones BBQ had taken off, leading to the opening of three more locations. Each restaurant continues to carry Michael’s vision forward—quality ingredients, smoked low and slow, served with genuine Southern hospitality.
Stop By And Taste The Difference
Today, Smokin' Jones BBQ is fired up for the future. With catering services expanding and plans for new locations in the works, the team remains committed to bringing mouthwatering BBQ and friendly vibes to even more neighborhoods. This journey is just getting started—and there’s always room at the table.
