Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q
The Atlas Review
The BBQ Atlas
Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q has been smoking meat over oak since Lou Bono started the business in 1949.
Southern pit barbecue done the way Lou Bono set it up: oak-fired, smoked in-house, no shortcuts. The wood does what it's supposed to do, and the pit does the rest.
This Beach Boulevard location is one of several across the region. The method hasn't changed — oak, smoke, time. Check the website for other locations if you're not near Jacksonville.
