Fred Cotten’s Landmark BBQ Menu (Update Menu 2026)
Fred Cotten’s Landmark BBQ Menu has a story as rich as its smoke-kissed meats. Founded in 1946 by Fred Cotten himself, this Jacksonville favorite began as a small neighborhood pit where locals lined up for slow-cooked comfort and a friendly chat. Gradually, Fred Cotten’s Landmark BBQ expanded its footprint, becoming a beloved stop for travelers searching Google for authentic “Jacksonville BBQ,” and earning a loyal community following through its consistent flavor and old-school charm.
As the restaurant grew, so did the Fred Cotten’s Landmark BBQ Menu, evolving from simple smoked meats to hearty plates, combo specials, and signature sides that regulars still crave today.
What many fans don’t know is that a quiet Fred Cotten’s Landmark BBQ secret menu exists — packed with off-menu twists, extra-smoky cuts, and nostalgic add-ons that longtime guests whisper about.
Yet despite all the evolution, the original classic — their slow-smoked pork and signature sauce — remains the heart of the place. It’s the dish that built the legend, and it still brings people back generation after generation.
