Billy Jack’s BBQ opens Aug. 1 at 9560 Heckscher Drive in North Jacksonville.
It is next to the St. Johns River Ferry landing. The car and passenger ferry connects the north and south ends of Florida A1A, linking Mayport Village and Fort George Island.
Billy Jack’s is the latest restaurant concept from Ben and Liza Groshell. They own seven other restaurants: Marker 32, the Palm Valley, North Beach, Julington Creek and St. Augustine fish camps, Dockside Seafood Restaurant and Valley Smoke. They are also involved with their children’s AB Kitchen.
