Review:
The tradition of barbecue in the Johnson Family in Plant City, Florida started more than sixty years ago. In 1964, Elton Johnson began to slow-smoke pork shoulders in his restaurant, which was formerly a gas station in which he sold cold drinks and sandwiches. Elton, or “Grandpa Johnson,” was completely devoted to providing the best guest experience and he gained a reputation for serving unpretentious, authentic Southern food. Thanks to this strong, hard working entrepreneur, the Johnson family legacy is now the restaurant business. Today, Grandpa Johnson's Barbecue is open from 11:00am until 8:30pm, Monday through Saturday.
