Big John's Alabama BBQ

In 1968 the late Rev. John A. “Big John” Stephens opened Big John's Alabama Barbeque in East Tampa, Florida on 40th Street North. “Big John”, came to Tampa from Eufaula, Alabama. He with his family in tow came to the area with goals of being an entrepreneur but most importantly a man of God. He obtained and exceeded that goal and “Big John’s” is still in existence today, 42 years later.
