The More Things Change ...

J. Kelly's BBQ is the newest restaurant to open in the historic East End. We consider it an honor and take great pride in the fact that daily, we serve up some of the best BBQ in central Texas. On the weekends, sit out on the deck and enjoy your meal under the stars, accompanied by some of the most soulful music in Austin.

The More Things Stay the Same

Under the watchful eye of pit smoke master Ben Wash - the smell of great BBQ permeated this neighborhood for over 27 years from this address under the name Ben’s Longbranch Inn. A new spot, with a veteran at the helm in the kitchen, J. Kelly’s pays homage to Ben’s twenty-seven year legacy. We are honored to don the apron and contine the tradition.
