Welcome to AJ's BBQ Restaurant
Where Passion Meets Flavor
The Journey of AJ's BBQ
Our Story
At AJ’s BBQ, we elevate the timeless tradition of barbecue into a refined culinary experience—where exceptional flavour meets warm, Marlborough hospitality.
Nestled in the heart of Blenheim, our restaurant blends the rustic soul of Southern-style barbecue with a commitment to premium ingredients and masterful technique. Each cut of meat is carefully selected, seasoned with house-crafted rubs, and smoked low and slow to achieve a depth of flavour that is both bold and balanced.
Our chefs take pride in every plate, from perfectly charred ribs and brisket to inventive sides and thoughtfully curated wine pairings—many of which showcase the best of the Marlborough region.
Whether you're joining us for an intimate dinner, a celebration, or a curated tasting experience, AJ’s BBQ offers a dining atmosphere where quality, comfort, and community come together seamlessly.
AJ’s is not just a meal—it’s a moment worth savouring.
