Maaaaaaaaan! When I tell you to find a BBQ place open after 9pm is a never! It's a never! But Jenkins got it! My ribs & chicken meal with baked beans and potato salad was yummy.
I got the hot 🔥.
Be prepared cause I ordered my sauce hot.
And it did not disappoint.
But not so hot that you can't enjoy your ribs.
The chicken is actually cooked really well.
I was surprised.
Wish the sides were served in bigger containers and had a few more options like cornbread, or collard greens or Mac n cheese.
The sides were cool but the ribs and chicken was the real deal.
The Lady who served me was cool, and very hospitable.
Liked that.
It was my first time and I'm not trying to be rushed.
I even like that their menu is off to the side for decision making, it's really simple and not overdone with too many items it confuses patrons.
Overall, I come back to Jacksonville, I'll need to hit this spot again!

Owner response

We're delighted to learn you loved our ribs and chicken, Jym! Your feedback about our sides is appreciated and will be considered.
We're pleased our menu was user-friendly and our staff welcoming.
We look forward to your next visit. Jenkins Quality Barbecue - Northside

Chicken was dry.
I ordered online.
My husband had a lunch with a friend there, so I ordered whole chicken plus half chicken he ordered.
I ordered 3 flavor sauce that I never received.
As such, chicken was very dry.
Very disappointed.

I should have known something was wrong when I saw a household microwave by the drive thru window.
So am I supposed to believe the food is hot and ready? That is not food safe neither should it be in a restaurant that calls itself Quality Barbecue.
Why not have a commercial food warmer to keep the food hot? Nothing was quality about it.
Someone could get sick.
Eat here at your own risk.
I will not return and will not recommend anyone to eat here.
