Jones Bar-B-Q
Address: Kansas City, KS
Short Business Description: Who: Deborah and Mary Jones (founders)

When: 1970s

Why:
For sisters Deborah “Little” and Mary “Shorty” Jones, barbeque is a way of life. When they were little girls, their father, Leavy B. Jones Sr., set them up on milk crates to look over the pit at the very first Jones Bar-B-Q restaurant.

Over thirty years later, the Jones sisters still carry on their father’s legacy of smoking meats and making their family’s secret BBQ sauce from scratch daily at their restaurant in Kansas City. Now you and your family can experience the love and art of Jones Bar-B-Q in your own home.

FROM THE JONES FAMILY TO YOURS, WE THANK YOU AND REMEMBER–THE BEST ATTITUDE IS GRATITUDE!
