Jo Jo’s Backyard BBQ began as a small family-run spot founded by Jo “Big Jo” Harris back in the late 1980s on a quiet street corner. What started with a homemade smoker and a backyard crowd of friends soon grew into a local legend. Word spread quickly thanks to Jo’s slow-smoked ribs and welcoming atmosphere, and before long, the restaurant expanded from that modest backyard setup into a full dining space where neighbors and travelers alike lined up for a plate.
With the years, the menu has evolved—adding hearty platters, sandwiches, and family-style feasts—but the heart of Jo Jo’s remains unchanged. Fans rave about the popular menu staples, yet few know there’s a secret menu featuring off-menu combos and special sauces passed down from the early days. Still, no matter how much the menu grows, Jo Jo’s original signature smoked ribs continue to be the dish that keeps regulars coming back.
