It started with brisket sold at a brewery.

For North Carolina natives Garren “Jon G” and Kelly Kirkman, barbecue is a labor of love. What began with experimentation among friends and family, evolved into a successful and recognized food truck. As always, there were bigger ideas ahead.

After years of pulling all-nighters (following a full work week) to smoke brisket, the Kirkman’s were ready to focus on providing a quality product to their customers as often as possible. All that hard work paid off in June of 2020, when Jon G’s Barbecue opened their restaurant outside their hometown of Peachland, North Carolina.

Barbecue has always been a communal event and the line at Jon G’s always showcases a community willing to come eat good barbecue. We welcome you to come and enjoy the food and stay a while.
