Fire-hit Marianna barbecue diner sets grand reopening by Bill Bowden | Today at 2:55 a.m. A grand reopening event will be held at 11 a.m. July 14 at Jones Bar-B-Que Diner in Marianna. The venerable Arkansas restaurant was closed for about three months after a fire in February destroyed the wooden barbecue pit structure and damaged the diner building, which was constructed in 1964. James Harold Jones, 76, the owner and pitmaster, reopened Jones Bar-B-Que on May 20 after the diner was repaired and a new metal building was constructed out back around the barbecue pit. Online fundraisers brought in more than $87,000 to help with the restoration and construction, and Southern Restaurants for Racial Justice provided a $25,000 emergency grant.
