The story of Richard Jones Pit BBQ begins in Austin, TX, where authentic, smoky barbecue traditions run deep. In 1982, owner Will Mynar brought that same passion for slow-cooked, flavorful BBQ to California. Starting with a small restaurant in Anaheim Hills, the family quickly won over locals with mouthwatering brisket, ribs, and sides that captured the heart of Texas.
What began as a single location soon grew into beloved restaurants in Fullerton and Fountain Valley, becoming community favorites for BBQ lovers across Orange County. Each location carried the same dedication to authentic recipes, quality ingredients, and the unmistakable taste of pit-smoked barbecue. Guests didn’t just come for a meal — they came for an experience rooted in family, tradition, and Southern hospitality.
By 1996, Will saw an opportunity to share his craft beyond the restaurants. Richard Jones Pit BBQ shifted focus to catering, bringing legendary flavors directly to weddings, corporate gatherings, and community celebrations throughout Southern California. This move allowed the team to serve groups of all sizes, from intimate backyard parties to massive events.
Fast forward to today, and Richard Jones Pit BBQ has proudly served over 6 million guests at thousands of events. The secret? A commitment to unbeatable flavor, consistency, and customer care. Every rack of ribs, every tray of brisket, and every side dish carries the same attention to detail that made the original Austin BBQ famous.
Every dish we serve reflects decades of BBQ tradition, combining smoky flavors, quality ingredients, and genuine Southern hospitality. Check out our menu or request a quote here.
