This prestigious recognition, awarded by the local media company Positively Osceola, is a testament to the unwavering commitment of owner Jay Brown and his team. Their dedication to crafting the most tender, flavorful, and perfectly smoked meats, paired with a sauce perfected through years of passion, has set Granny’s Southern Smokehouse apart in a competitive culinary landscape.
The story of Granny’s Southern Smokehouse is more than just a business venture for Jay Brown; it’s a personal journey rooted in tradition. Born and raised in St. Cloud, Jay’s love for Southern barbecue was ignited at a young age, inspired by the unforgettable flavors of his grandmother’s cooking, ‘Granny.’ These cherished memories fueled his lifelong dream, the opening of Granny’s Southern Smokehouse, first in the St. Cloud Manor, then in the heart of downtown St. Cloud at 818 Pennsylvania Avenue, next to St. Cloud’s City Hall.
After receiving the ‘Osceola’s Best Barbecue’ award, Jay expressed his gratitude to the loyal customers and the community. “I just wanted to give a big shoutout to all of our customers and our community for voting for us again. Really appreciate you guys. And hopefully, we’ll see you soon,” Jay shared with sincere appreciation.
Granny’s Southern Smokehouse is not just a place to enjoy exceptional barbecue; it’s also a hub for community engagement. The restaurant will soon host its ‘2nd Annual Car Show,’ an event that brings the community together in the city’s parking lot just adjacent to Granny’s.
