About Jonesez Palm Beach

JonesEZ BBQ is a Black-owned, family-run barbecue business in Fort Myers specializing in ribs, chicken, and pulled pork cooked low and slow with homemade sides seasoned to the Jones family's own recipes. Husband-and-wife owners Andre and Vickie Jones built the business around the idea that food should be cooked "fresh and from the heart," and the kitchen makes its sides and desserts, including cakes, pies, and cobblers, from scratch rather than buying them premade. Beyond the sit-down side of the business, JonesEZ operates a food truck, easily spotted around Fort Myers by its brown trucks, along with full catering for parties, weddings, backyard barbecues, and corporate events year-round. The Jones family has built a loyal local following: JonesEZ won the People's Choice Award at the Lee County BBQ, Bands & Brew festival for eight consecutive years from 2010 through 2018, took home the 2013 award for Best Chicken and Best Barbecue in Town, and was voted Best Food Truck in Fort Myers in 2018. The business emphasizes repeat customers and referrals as the backbone of its growth, and eatokra.com, a directory focused on Black-owned restaurants, lists JonesEZ as a Black-owned business. Whether customers are picking up a plate at one of the Fort Myers-area locations or booking the food truck for an event, JonesEZ positions itself as a genuine homestyle alternative to chain barbecue.

JonesEZ BBQ has been family owned and operated in the Fort Myers area since 2007, built by husband-and-wife team Andre and Vickie Jones. What started as a single operation grew over the years into multiple locations along Palm Beach Boulevard and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Fort Myers, plus a presence at Tractor Supply in LaBelle, supplemented by a food truck that has become a recognizable fixture at local events. The Jones family built their reputation the old-fashioned way, competing at the annual BBQ, Bands & Brew festival in Lee County and taking home the People's Choice Award for eight straight years between 2010 and 2018, along with a 2013 win for Best Chicken and Best Barbecue in Town and a 2018 award for Best Food Truck in Fort Myers. Nearly two decades after opening, JonesEZ remains a Jones family operation, still known locally for its ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and homemade desserts, and is recognized as a Black-owned restaurant by directories such as eatokra.com.
