Vacant job

Julins Backyard Barbecue opened in the autumn of 2020 with a clear vision: to serve top-class barbecue. Our inspiration comes from the American South – specifically Austin, Texas – and from the start, we have built a restaurant and smokehouse where quality, craftsmanship, and the guest experience are at the center.

Since 2022, our food truck has also been out at events, festivals, markets, and catering assignments – spreading the scent of authentic Texas BBQ far beyond the restaurant's walls.

In the autumn of 2025, we finally opened our BBQ Hub located at Herrgårdsgatan 9 in central Karlstad. The smokehouse on Örsholmen is working hard to supply our BBQ Hub with authentic Texas BBQ – but here in the form of street food.

With us, guests are more than just customers – they are our friends. When they step into our space, they should receive a holistic experience of food, drink, music, and attentive service. Texas barbecue – but in Värmland.

We are now looking for extra staff for our kitchen team ahead of the spring and summer season. Start immediately with the possibility of extension into the autumn.
