    Visited around 5pm on a weeknight and we had no wait. Our server (named Jacob or Jason) advised it was happy hour so we enjoyed reduced price cocktails and an appetizer of fried pickles. The service was great, the ambiance and decor was unique and the drinks were amazing. The meats were also pretty tasty and very tender. But the sides need quite a bit of improvement in my opinion. My companion had the 2 meat platter with mashed potatoes and green beans and I had the brisket with collards and mac and cheese. The green beans were the only side that was decent. The collards had zero flavor and the mac and cheese was bland and mushy. I couldn't even eat the cornbread. I rarely eat canned foods but a can of glory greens and box of jiffy mix would have tasted better. I'm from North Carolina so perhaps it's a cultural or regional difference but when I eat barbecue and or southern inspired foods I expect the food to be seasoned. Simply adding some seasoning to the vegetables and sharp cheddar to the mac would go a long way toward improvement. Our server was exceptional and whoever makes the drinks (the mojito is the best I've ever had!) deserves kudos which is basis for the generous 4 star rating.

    Very good food. Would recommend the shrimp and grits. We also ordered the spicy shrimp appetizer. The Brunswick stew was delicious. Loved their cocktails. The sangria was everything! Great service. Bar was a tad bit slow but we went on 7/4 and expected wayyyy slower service than that. Would return.

    I absolutely loved the environment. Great staff. The food was phenomenal and worth every penny. We got the whole hawg and smokehouse chicken. I recommend both. I just moved here from TN and started to find out what my favorite restaurants were going to be. This one is for sure on top of the list

    Looks like they're not doing any live music these days, but the atmosphere is nice and the food is great

    I just moved to Jacksonville less than a month ago and came across this spot coincidentally, but I'm sure happy I did! If you enjoy blues, an expansive whiskey selection, and/or cool, friendly staff, you'll love this place. It quickly became one of my favs in the city and I've visited at least weekly since!

    NC BBQ was delish but onion rings were not! I personally like mines crunchy and not so thick onions. The thickness I guess made the onion rings a little soggy.

    The atmosphere is nice when you enter. A lot of space with a variety of booths and tables. There is a stage to the left. No live show the Sunday evening we dined there. It was a special event for a friend's 60th. He is local and we always eat here when we are in town. Joe our server was awesome. Super friendly and accommodated us even though we stayed way past closing time. Great variety of BBQ and sauces. The sides are authentic southern classics. Some really nice cocktails and an impressive whiskey/bourbon/scotch menu which I would not have expected from a BBQ place. Definitely worth coming here. You won't be disappointed.

    Excellent service! Even when we showed up an hour before closing. Every member of the staff has a great personality and wants you to have the best experience! I will definitely bring my family back

    Great customer service, great food, great experience! Mojo BBQ to the rescue after two other restaurants ran out of ribs on Super Bowl Sunday. Easy to-go ordering, ready when we got there, and, food was delicious and well prepared. My favorite part - they packaged the ribs in an aluminum tray and cut up the two racks of ribs for us. Easy to keep warm and serve. Just a really good experience after a bumpy start to my day's festivities. We will definitely be back.

    Best BBQ in Florida! The ribs are excellent the burnt ends are good. Nor a fan of the baked beans. Onion rings are top notch. We will be back!

    Really wanted to like this place but the food just didn’t live up to expectations. Now I have ate BBQ all over the place so maybe I am jaded having been to KC amongst other places that just have flat out wicked meats but It just tasted like it wasn’t fresh. Start with the meats, KC burnt ends were a lot tougher than I would expect, had one piece so tough that I couldn’t even bite into it as the burnt outside had hardened to the point of no return. My partner felt the same about the pulled pork, just seemed like it wasn’t that fresh. The sides, similar to what others have echoed here, they need a little work. Salad was fine, mind you hard to not make that right but the collard greens were just kind of bland for the most part. Service was friendly, staff was very knowledgeable and accommodating for allergies, just need to put a little more TLC into the food. Prices were fair.

    Stopped by for dinner date with the wife. Showed up around 7ish and seated right away. Our server was very quick and attentive and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend their famous onion rings appetizer!

    Beside the chicken everything else was very good, tender, sauces really tasty. I loved the coleslaw it wasn't too sweet. Overall good bbq food.

    A little pricey for what you get. Brisket is very good, just not a very generous portion for the price. Mac & Cheese was yummy! Didn't care for the seasonings on the fries.

    BBQ. REAL BBQ. Soooooo good. From the amazing smell upon entry to the final morsel of BBQ goodness, Mojo Kitchen did not disappoint! I'll be back, Mojo!!

    I usually get a platter of various meats. Prefer the pulled pork, brisket, and chicken. Everything is flavorful. Sweet sauce is excellent. Like that they have many sides and a number that you don't get at other BBQ places.

  • 5/5 United Global T. 9 months ago on Google
    Great food and nice atmosphere Onion rings were amazing. Boom Boom shrimp was my favorite. Chicken is made well and brisket was good not the best I have ever had.

  • 4/5 David C. 9 months ago on Google
    Server was nice, but overall even given it was near full house, slow. Fairly typical of a number of restaurants today as compared to 20 years ago when back of the house and servers brought food out much faster. Food was excellent and atmosphere too. And when I walked in the 2 hostesses continued to talk to each other while I looked straight to their eyes and did not acknowledge me until I interrupted them to SDK for a table.

  • 4/5 Anita L. 10 months ago on Google
    I loved the atmosphere. Food was phenomenal. The only issue I had was that the outside tables must not be numbered. So, the waiters and waitresses were delivering our food and condiments to other tables. But that is not a reason to give a negative rating. The wait staff were all friendly, kind, and professional. All in all it was very pleasant.

    The brisket is good, so are the ribs. We did also like the sweet potato. Corn was tasty as well. The drinks where good too ! they have happy hour from 3-7. The pulled pork we think could had been a bit better but morning to complain about. Our waitress was really pleasant too. Also before I forget we recommend there boom boom shrimp and we liked the sweet sauce the best. Good flavor. Unfortunately there beans weren’t to tasty. Nice vibe I’m there though. Art on the walls definitely a place to try.

    Mmmm… really good. Excellent menu and food and a delicious Lemon Drop Martini. Also great they had NA beer. We had the fried chicken and pulled pork. No fat in the pork and the chicken fried with gravy was yummy. Smoked corn , sweet potatoes and pinto beans were tasty sides. A lot of food and great service!

    Order Togo today. The Chicken Wings and Boom Boom Shrimps. The host said it’s about 10 minutes. Then I waited 30 mins until a girl came out to ask. Then the manager I think said that they will prepare my order for 2 minutes(????) but I waited for more than 15 minutes. I think the host did not put my order through. But I believe the right etiquette should be telling customers the TRUTH INSTEAD OF LETTING THEM WAITING FOR NOTHING. Not mention the Wings did not have Celery as described on the Menu. And it looked like overcooked

    Excellent BBQ! Tried it for the first time catered at a party and didn't receive the best quality food since it had been sitting out a few hours. After sitting down and receiving fresh food, made with fresh ingredients I'm in absolute shock at how delicious the food is. The different varieties of meat were so juicy, tender and flavorful that sauce wasn't necessary but definitely a must try! Will definitely be returning with my family in the near future!
