About J. Cody's
Our
STORY
Owner, J. Cody Whitten, grew up in College Station, graduating from Texas A&M class of 1983. Having a love for barbecuing, J. Cody took an opportunity to go to work for the well-known Joe Allen’s Pit Barbecue in Abilene, Texas. After spending almost two years perfecting his barbecuing and grilling expertise, J. Cody returned to town and acquired the current property less than two weeks before 9/11. Originally, the building was home to Tom’s Barbecue, but the torch was passed, and J. Cody’s Steaks & BBQ was born. After a short remodel, J. Cody’s opened its doors November 19, 2001 and soon became a local favorite.
