ABOUT OUR BBQ

Perfection takes time. The secret… patience. At Woody’s BBQ in Jacksonville, Florida, we take the art of BBQ quite seriously. That’s why every day for nearly four decades, we’ve been slow-cooking our BBQ for hours on end to deliver that signature fall-off-the-bone tenderness and melt-in-your-mouth smoky flavor to every patron, every time. Rather than cut corners, we regularly slice into perfectly prepared slabs of ribs, beef brisket, BBQ chicken, grilled prime rib, smoked pork and more, all featuring our iconic smoke ring with just the right amount of crispy charred bark.

The “Woody” in Woody’s Bar-B-Q is co-founder Woody Mills who – along with his partner, Yolanda Mills-Mawman – took a dog-eared collection of his mother’s recipes that grew from one BBQ restaurant in Jacksonville, Florida to a thriving network of locations throughout the Sunshine State and beyond – each with its own special hometown atmosphere. We invite you to pull up a chair and enjoy our BBQ service founded in Southern Hospitality paired with a menu showcasing comfort food recipes that have stood the test of time in Jacksonville, Florida.
