Who we are

Johnson’s Barbecue is a family run business that brings over 35 years of chef-driven expertise to every plate, marrying the bold flavours of Kansas City with Central Texas simplicity.

We use the best ingredients we can find, cooking them with local wood in our Meadow Creek offset smoker, honouring the low-and-slow tradition that is barbecue.

Originally chefs in Manhattan and kitchens around the world, we are currently bringing new-school barbecue to Tannersville, New York. .

A man wearing sunglasses, a Kansas City cap, and a black t-shirt is slicing a smoked or grilled piece of meat on a wooden cutting board. The scene is set outdoors at a barbecue event with a checkered tablecloth, plastic containers, a can of beer, and a digital scale on the table. There is a large black smoker or grill in the background and a parked car on the street.
