There doesn t seem to be much known about the early history of Johnny s Bar-B-Q other than a man by the name of Johnny Graves began the business sometime ago. Many tales exist about the early days. One of those is told by Lucille Justice, a faithful employee who has worked for the restaurant for approximately forty years. She says that on one particular evening, Johnny got mad at all of his employees and fired everyone except for her saying, Don t worry Lucy, I ll have a new crew in here in the morning. In July of 1963, Troy Wiggins approached Johnny about the possibility of purchasing the restaurant which at that time sat about forty people. Troy had worked for Deep South Creamery for a number of years driving a truck before becoming a partner in the Rebel Drive-In, another local eatery. He felt that this was a good time to strike out on his own and knew of the reputation of Johnny s Bar-B-Q both locally and with the people from out-of-state.

It's a cozy spot with the best BBQ ribs I've tasted since I've moved to Alabama! Nice smokey flavor and tender. I ate the half rack with no sauce because would have over powered the smokey flavor. If you get a chance to pass through, make a stop. You will leave there satisfied!

Driving through Cullman, I was looking for some good BBQ. This place is the highest rated according to Google, so decided to give it a shot. Wasn't bad by any means, just not great. The pork has no smoke flavor. You can tell by the smell from around the building, and the stacks of wood out back that they are smoking their meats, but by taste I would think it was cooked in an oven at low heat. Price is cheaper than most fast food, so I would recommend to anyone looking for a cheap, good lunch. But if you're a BBQ enthusiast, keep looking!
