    We have visited some of the top-notch BBQ spots, reading reviews and listening to recommendations. What we enjoyed here was the crispy bacon-wrapped jalapeno popper; however, the filling in the poppers needs more punch! The 3-meat combo included sliced spicy sausage, a chunk of brisket, and a couple of ribs. The flavors were good enough naked that the sauce is a secondary choice rather than dependent.

    Awesome spot in AB and love the outdoor area on a nice day. Visited with a large group on a Saturday and there was a cornhole tournament going on. Food was insanely fast. I swear we ordered and within 5 mins had our full meals. Mac and cheese is delicious, Brussels are yummy, fries are thick cut and good and all the meats were tender and good. Lots of bbq sauce options too. Full bar with lots of drink options, turf area for kids to run and play, lots of tvs make it ideal for a game day! Definitely recommend.

    Recientemente celebramos el cumpleaños de mi marido en ABBQ, ¡y fue una gran opción! El amplio comedor lo hizo perfecto para un grupo, y aunque el restaurante estaba ocupado, nunca se sintió abarrotado; había mucho espacio entre mesas, lo que realmente apreciamos. Estaba un poco desanimado porque estaban fuera del pollo barbacoa (¡tenía el corazón puesto en ello!), pero fui con el sándwich de pollo y definitivamente dio la bienvenida, súper lleno y lleno de sabor. Nuestro camarero era fantástico, atento y amable, y nos hizo reír durante toda la comida. Las porciones eran generosas y todos terminaron con sobras para llevarlas a casa. Con todo, un lugar ideal para una buena comida, buenas vibraciones y mucho espacio para celebrar.

    Came here to celebrate a birthday and sat on the patio. It was hot, but we were a large group, so outside was the best option. The fans were turned on and helped with the heat. I decided on the fish tacos that were on the specials menu. I was curious about the potato casserole, and it was delicious! It was like a hash brown casserole, which I loved. Overall, our waitress was great and helpful, especially since there were a lot of us and many orders.

    We decided to dine indoors due to the heat. Our meal started with the dry rub wings appetizer which was flavorful. I was eager to try the 2-meat platter with brisket and ribs, but was told that the brisket would be unavailable for a couple of hours which was a letdown. I wanted to eat here for the brisket. As I couldn't think of anything else to pair with ribs, I settled for the Barbacoa Chicken. My wife chose the shrimp and grits. While we left with full bellies, the brisket would have made a significant difference!

    This is an upscale barbecue spot which I never thought I would hear myself say. They sell high quality meats alongside drinks. I only stopped by to pick up a too good to go order, however, walking inside and seeing the ambience on a Friday night made me want to come back for dinner one night. I plan on coming back and having a proper sitdown dinner and will give another review then once I receive the full restaurant service and dining experience.

    Stopped by for lunch. Had the barbacoa chicken, sweet potato fries, and brussel sprouts. It was absolutely delicious. Super juicy when I cut thought the chicken. Fries were crispy. Brussel sprouts had a crispy exterior with soft tasty interior. Service was quick and pleasant. Table was slightly sticky but was able to overlook due to the quality of food.

    Outstanding as Always - ABBQ Never Misses In town for a conference in Mayport, we wanted to host a no-host social event at a local spot that would impress. I'm not from Jacksonville, but I travel here a few times a year and always make it a point to eat at ABBQ--so it was an easy recommendation. We called on Monday to set up a no-host dinner for around 25 people on Wednesday evening. The team didn't blink. When we arrived, they had already arranged a long table to comfortably accommodate everyone. A few of our group arrived early and got things going with warm-up drinks at the bar. Our server deserves serious praise--fielding a barrage of questions about the menu, drinks, and beer selections with patience and professionalism. She took orders efficiently, brought drinks from the bar herself, and coordinated seamlessly with the kitchen staff who delivered the food hot and timely. One guest didn't love their Mezcal Old Fashioned, and without hesitation, the server helped switch it out for a tequila-based cocktail made with 1800 that hit the mark. That kind of attentiveness really stands out. And yes, we added to the complexity by asking for separate checks--all 25+ of us. The server handled it like a pro, with the patience of an angel, ensuring everyone could pay right at the table without any hassle. The food? Incredible as always. We shared a variety of appetizers--do not leave without trying the deviled eggs, they're absolutely the bomb. The stuffed jalapeños were another crowd favorite. Between us, we ordered nearly the full range of BBQ offerings, and everything was spot on. I sampled a friend's Brussels sprouts and collard greens and immediately regretted not ordering both--they were fantastic. Those are going on my plate next time without question. ABBQ delivered big for us, from food to drinks to service. Whether you're local or visiting, it's a must-visit spot in Atlantic Beach. Can't wait to return.

    Ambience of sitting outside was nice. Having the corn hole game was fun for the kids. Food was good, nothing totally stood out. Live music was the best part- the gentleman sounded like Sublime. Service was mid, which really surprised me as we were expecting much better from previous reviews.

    "grilled "cheese brisket

    not sure how i ordered in the middle of the day when they weren't busy and some how got a grilled cheese that was room temp along with room temp fries . i waited for like 20 minutes for the food . i should have walk back into the restaurant and said what is this but i was hungry . despite the temperature the flavor of the fries and the brisket were good to despite the grilled cheese not being big nice and melted the taste was pretty good

    The brunch is good. Great drinks and good food. Sometimes food is a bit inconsistent but yesterday most was spot on. Started with pork rinds. Pro tip ask for a side of queso and dip away. So good and fresh. We usually opt for brunch menu but this time got a platter to share. 3 sides and 3 meat. Brisket delish and fatty ribs tasty and sausage so good. The sides we didn't eat much of as they weren't cooked well done enough or were cold. Drinks so good the fountain of youth is my fave but did a rose drink too. All good all fast. They had live music too and he was great!! Can't. Wait to go back

    Smoked Wings
    Amiyah G.

    First off, our server was truly the one who made the experience great. He was super awesome and kind/helpful! I think his name was Spencer (but I could be totally wrong.) The food was just ok, I wish they would've seasoned the brisket a bit more as it didn't have much flavor without using a sauce to accompany it. I did have chopped/sliced and I will say the chopped was much more flavorful than the sliced brisket. I ordered the one meat plate and I will say you do get a lot of food for the price - the portion sizes were great. I also was able to pick two sides and I ordered the Mac & cheese and french fries. The Mac and cheese wasn't great but was edible. I wish it was a bit more creamy. The French fries were super good as they were thick and crispy and you can tell they make them in-house. Overall the service was the star of the show and I would come back simply for that! They also have a really nice bar and back area with turf and tables.

    AB Barbecue never disappoints. Their brisket, pork and fries are outstanding. The slaw however was a bit too spicy for us.

    Is the BBQ flavor vinegar based like SC BBQ or sweet based? I ask because I do not enjoy vinegar based flavors.

    I do not believe it had vinegar taste they offer for different sauces that you can add to the Meat. I don't believe they add it to the meat.

    What are your sauces?

    Original, Carolina, Sweet & Spicy, and Alabama White

    Are you allowed to say "no thanks" to the valet person and park the car yourself?

    Yes

    Can this bbq come close to Texas bbq? Blacks in new Braunfels or salt like in round rock?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Is the restaurant Dog friendly?

    It is not, as of now.

    Definitely worth the hype and the trek!…read more I've been seeing this spot all over TikTok and finally made the drive out on a Tuesday afternoon. It's such a cool location right on the water by the ferry, & the vibe is super relaxed with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating and lawn games like cornhole. The staff were incredibly friendly & walked us through their order at the counter setup as soon as we walked in. The food was a 10/10. The turkey was so juicy, literally tasted like Thanksgiving, & the ribs were seasoned perfectly with a generous portion size. I also have to mention the sides: the okra & collard greens were my personal favorites! We tried all their sauces, but the datil pepper one is a must-try if you like a little local flavor. They also have a full bar and some fun spiked slushies. Even though I didn't try the brisket sandwich myself, my dad loved it & said they'd come back just for that. I'm already planning my next trip to try the smoked wings and the brisket. If you're looking for great BBQ with a view, Billy Jack's is it. I'll definitely be back!

    This is a restaurant where you order when you come in. The line moved very quickly. I think I…read moreordered the wrong food for today, but I was convinced when I heard the order taker that the Sunday fried chicken special was excellent, so I went with that. We also ordered fish dip. Carl got fried fish basket. He said the standouts were coleslaw and hush puppies. Fish was good too. He was very disappointed in the tartar sauce and said the fries tasted as if they had been cooked in old oil. I tasted them and they, at a minimum needed seasoning, but there was none on the table. I did not like the fish dip. It may be good, but it was everything I dislike, fishy and overly smoky. I had to spit it out. I've had fish dip elsewhere that was more mild and loved it. Again, that's on me. The fried chicken plate was also not for me. I struggled with either that or Azar's sausage with okra & tomatoes and butter beans as the side. I'll take the sausage next time. The corn muffin, mashed potatoes and creamed peas were good. Wish I too had some salt though. The chicken disappointed. My favorite part is the crispy breaded skin. Three of the pieces of the half a chicken were cooked so there was no breading on the skin side. The skin for leg and thigh was torn away from the meat and hung by the side. I still had crispy half breaded skin, but the meat was hard and dry without the protection of the skin. Service was spot on, fast and friendly. It was a beautiful day to sit on the patio and watch the ferry come and go. The drinks were very well poured --an old fashioned and a John Daly. The drive home was lovely with the blue sky and sparkling water. Definitely a mostly win. Definitely can recommend. I'm sure it's a 4 or 5 with a different entree.

    I am posting this on behalf of my son who isn't on Yelp but knows his Mother appreciates great food…read moreand yelping. He is visiting us this weekend and spotted this food truck in our neighborhood and said it smelled delicious as he drove by. Hubby and I were not around but encouraged him to go get dinner. He loves barbecue and has been raised with some great barbecue by my hubby (a novice barbecue chef) and the top rated local barbecue favorite spots. He says this was hands down some of the best barbecue he has ever had. He said, "Mom you have to post this truck". The food was awesome and the people were so nice. And so cheap. His plate of chicken, macaroni and cheese and collard greens was $8. Seriously! Check them out according to my son! They are local out of the beach area.

He was out of several sides by 12:30, so I got pulled pork with beans and potato salad, for $13 plus tax and tip. The meat was decent, had some smoke flavor but a weird texture, not like actual smoked meat, more like slow cooker pork. Great mustard sauce on top, though (he put it on without my asking, but I didn't mind.) The beans were ok, very sweet. The potato salad was terrible, looked and tasted more like egg salad. Probably wouldn't try again.
