Real smoke. Big flavor. Worth the stop.

Real smoke, bold flavor

K&J BBQ is based in New Lexington, Ohio, where the smoke is real, the flavor is bold, and the napkins are not optional. We serve slow-smoked meats, homemade sides, and the kind of barbecue worth tracking down across New Lexington, Perry County, Somerset, Lancaster, Logan, Zanesville, Newark, Heath, Buckeye Lake, Pickerington and the broader Central Ohio area.

Come hungry

Expect big portions, messy fingers, and food so good you’ll be thinking about the next stop before you finish the plate. Whether you’re here for brisket, mac and cheese, or the full spread, bring your appetite and we’ll handle the rest.
