We planned on visiting Johnson's BBQ at least 2 years ago however our first time was yesterday and it was truly fantastic. As soon as you arrive at the door there is someone there to greet you immediately and also seat you comfortably 😉, there is the unique air of southern hospitality and also kindness from the servers and waitstaff! The atmosphere is rustic and original that way you know your in line for some great BBQ the way it was meant to be, slow smoked and falling...

Always awesome. This place is a staple in East Hillsborough county. There's nothing on the menu I wouldn't recommend. Oddly enough, it's the little stuff.... The rolls are flipping amazing! The sweet potato casserole is not to be missed! Love this place.

Thank you Alexis. You are amazing. The food was delicious and the service was phenomenal. We felt very welcome. Our waitress Alexis was helpful in explaining the menu, making suggestions, and customizing our orders. She was very kind, patient, and friendly. This is my new favorite BBQ spot in the area, and we will hopefully be returning soon. Thank you again. God bless you all ❤
