The server was great. Didn't get her name but my food was inedible. I ordered the fish sandwich. (I know I am a BBQ restaurant) but if upu.put it on know how to cook it. Fish was absolutely rubbery so overcooked. No seasoning and just plan awful. A friend at the table had barbecue that was so over cooked it was also inedible. read more

Went to ABBQ for the first time last night and we were super impressed. The outdoor seating area is fantastic! Large/open area with lots of room to hang out and enjoy some fantastic BBQ. The food was excellent and the portions were just right. We will definitely be back! read more

Im all about the sides and the sauces! We took a trip to Atlantic Beach to check out ABBQ. Parking can be tricky so be sure to leave time to find a spot since the main lot is valet. We started the meal splitting the Frito Pie! It was a great mix of flavors and textures. The beans, lime crema and the pico on top of the fritos was to die for. I heard great things about the pimento cheese so that will be our next visit. We then ordered the 1513 since it had a good representation of the meat selection, sliced brisket, pulled pork and sausage. This way we got to try a little of everything and since the sandwich was so big we ended up eating it opened-faced. The brisket was my favorite especially using the sweet and tangy sauce. The mac n cheese was ok nothing too special but we thoroughly enjoyed the seasoned fries and potato casserole. The fries dipped in the white BBQ sauce was my favorite combo, even better then the dipping sauce served with the fries. I loved using all the sauces but my favorites were the charred tomato bbq (sweet and spicy) and the white. And we will be back for round 2. read more

BBQ is great and menu is creative, not just meat and 3 standard sides as well. Highly recommend.

We absolutely love ABBQ! A staple in our local lineup! We have gotten almost everything on the menu ye and JT has all been great , service is always fantastic and vibes are high with a great open concept with access out to a very cool and unique patio area that seems to be great for family and kids , the bar is large and nice too read more

A Texas BBQ place at the beach? I knew I had to see what this place was all about. Walking in, it looked legit. Folks were eating on paper-lined trays, the place was buzzing, and they had frito pie on the menu. What more needs to be said? I recalled my recent bbq tour through Lockhart and Driftwood, Texas where we ate our share of moist brisket, huge beef ribs, tender pork ribs, housemade sausages, and juicy pulled pork. Prices ranged between $13-14 for pork ribs to $16-$17 for brisket, and $13 for pulled pork per pound. So when I saw the prices at ABBQ, I knew that it was all overpriced. It was early on a Tuesday evening and we were waiting in line along with at least 10 other people while the party in front of us ordered and four employees stood idly behind the counter. Something seemed wrong with this picture. Efficiency was clearly not ABBQ's strong suit but I was hoping that the meat was. I ordered a 1/4 pound of mixed brisket and I was served .41 pound for $9.43, a sausage ($6), and a greek country salad ($10) with smoked turkey breast (+$3) = $30.39 with tax. And then I waited...and waited. The cashier couldn't ring me up until her coworker sliced and weighed my meat. This was quite slow. Once I got the brisket and sausage, I was given a number for my table and told that my salad and turkey would be delivered to me. 20 minutes later, I was still waiting on my salad. I finally asked a server who went to check on it for me and 5 minutes later, it arrived...with no turkey. Operational challenges aside, the meat had good flavor and the brisket had a nice smoke ring but it was all cold and the brisket - even the fatty portion - was dry. The sausage, however, was really good and moist. Their bbq sauces were served at a little sauce bar and they were very disappointing. Two of them were vinegar based and very thin, one was mustard, and the one that we ended up using seemed to be a combination of the mustard and one of the vinegar based sauces. They need a good, thick tomato-based sauce. Oh ABBQ, I was so looking forward to this place but it was an underwhelming experience. The service was poor and very slow, the meat wasn't weighed correctly, the meat was just ok, and the sauces were lacking in flavor and variety. Hopefully things will improve with time. read more

ABBQ in Atlantic Beach was a Grand Slam Home Run for lunch today. Determined to spoil myself and take advantage of my day off I crossed the ditch and headed to this local smokehouse based on recommendations from friends. I knew I was going to overdo it, but I planned to take home plenty of leftovers. I arrived around 2 PM and there was plenty of parking alongside the restaurant. And more available in the back. From the parking lot you can see their open seating in the back picnic style with plenty of covered space and access to the bar as well as several large flatscreen televisions. The music must've been on the Bonnie Blue station as it was playing some great classical Southern rock as well as some contemporary hits like Nathaniel Ratliff the Black Crowes and Jack Johnson...all great acts in my opinion Dylan (General Manager) greeted me at the door and I asked to sit outside close to the sun and the shade as I was not sure if it would be too chilly. Unfortunately when the wind picked up I found it a little too cold so I asked to move inside. My server Emily greeted me promptly with a caddy full of sauces and a menu. She was very pleasant and seemed very happy to be at work which I think is a huge plus when dining out. She sat down and explained in detail each of the four special sauces in the Caddy and listened to what I was interested in the menu and made additional recommendations all of which turned out to be huge hits. I asked if she could spin me up a bloody Mary and she said sure no problem which was handled by Bradley the bartender. Bradley was a handsome bearded fellow who, it turns out, is a guitarist and plays with a local act called Bonnie Blue who is friends with the friends that recommended I try this restaurant. I skipped the appetizer because I wanted to try some of their main course dishes so I selected two entrées: The first was the "THE 1513" sandwich...sliced brisket, pulled pork, homemade sausage, coleslaw, pickles, tangy BBQ sauce and special seasoned fries. It was 100% delicious and a complete mouthful of flavor. Perfect just the way they make it! Second entree was the 3 Meat Plate which includes two sides. I selected pulled pork, smoked turkey breast and homemade cheddar jalapeño house sausage. Caleb says you can't go two starches for sides so I picked potato casserole and brussel sprouts. Emily even brought me a sample of their collard greens (which were delicious). I am telling you every bite was hot and flavorful and fantastic and I was licking my fingers like I hadn't eaten in days. After a few bites of everything I slammed on the breaks and ordered dessert. Emily recommended the Bread Pudding which sounded like exactly what I was looking for. Super sweet with a cream sauce and dessert heaven I tell you. Run! Don't walk...10/10...5 Stars etc etc. Thank you for earning my business -- eating lunch at ABBQ Meat & Drink. read more

I came in not really expecting anything good food wise. I think like everything at Atlantic beach, its catering to the tourists, or the rich. Still it was dead, maybe 12-16 people in there total. so I got lucky and parked right outside, so that was cool. Its seems family friendly, and bar eccentric and maybe a tad like the old Texas style outside Honkytonk's, but in a less of a dive bar way. Old native Texans will get this. OK the reason you come is the food right? If its for the drinks, you either mega rich or the company is paying because OUCHIES. THOSE bar prices are nuts. not insane, but its not for us retired poorer folks. Anyway its the beach and Not the Ritz bar, so I figure I get a drink, 11 bucks, geez rip off city. Now the server was nice, but then again, it was Monday and dead. Really strange they have so many working there, but hey that is the management payroll problem. Gave me a booth, surprised me. extra points there. They usually they stick a single at some crap table. Anyway super sweet gal, serving, though once she leaves, your own your own. Still once you got the drink , you are just waiting for the food, I was so hoping this is going to be good TEXAS barbecue. Ok well here is where I debated even writing this. It looked good, until I tried to figure out WTF the so called Cole slaw was. and the Taste, well it was not sweet at least. but what it is. I got no clue. The best part of the meal was the French Fires, and I was craving french fries..only reason I go out. really. lol. joke. oh no Catsup bottles at a barque place, come on , no hot sauce either? gave me a tiny cup. sad. ok the meat, I got 3 meat plate. figured I will see if they can cook. sadly while the ribs looked ok, if you call a white rib a barbecue rib, I think you be wrong. Basically a slab ribs that looked and tasted like it was cooked in oven with wood ships for smoke. Again I did not expect Austin Texas level food. But come on. I get cooking large scale is a bitch. I do. So just dont call it Texas style, call it Jax beach drunk people ribs. anyway. if you have to use suace, it means the barbecue sucks, and this place aint for for Native Texans, that know how to cook. Still a dry rub or something on the ribs, anything, salt maybe? geez, every place is town is better that this one is barbecue wise. Pulled pork, so bland its like boiled meat, and the brisket, too lean no fat, no taste. So bottom line, if you poor and want quality food, seek it else where, if your rich and want music and some food at 1am and your so drunk, your taste buds are shot anyway. then this Might be your place. I might come back for lunch and try specials, maybe they make a good burger or something. but then need to remove anything referencing barbecue from name. or travel to Austin, Houston, etc and try real food...this aint in the same ball park. Seriously No bread? read more

This is honestly the best BBQ I have ever had in my life!! We went there two days ago, the service was fantastic from beginning to end. The place is super cool, kinda indoor outdoor setup and the service was outstanding from the minute we walked in the door until we left. We started with the Frito pie which was absolutely delicious, my mom got the brisket french dip and I got the chopped brisket sandwich. The meat is unbelievably tender and moist and has such tremendous flavor that you don't need sauce on it at all but they do offer 4 different sauces that are all great! We are going back on Saturday for more deliciousness! read more

On a Saturday afternoon @ 5:00 my wife and I decided to try ABBQ for the first time. Typically for us when we want bbq we head to Mojo's . We both grew up here & love bbq. Having grown up in the 50's & 60's bbq restaurants were aplenty with Bono's, Sonny's, Cotton's etc . In recent years I don't think the old staples are as good as they once were, so we like to try something new. Mojo's really knows how to cook Brisket, like they do in Texas using the off set slow smoked method. So we were hot to try this place out. The place was packed ( which is a good sign to me) , so we told the hostesses we would sit outside. Upon going outside the place was a Zoo, kids running all over the place with no supervised adults taking control. We found a picnic table to sit down & the waitress did come over to take our order. My wife asked the gal if this was unusually busy & she replied that this was actually a calm night. Well my wife of 51 years looks at me & says I don't know about you but I am over this place! The brisket looked great! We both love children, having raised 2 great kids & grandkids but when we took ours out they were taught to respect others. Now I don't know about you folks but when I go out to dine I like to enjoy my meal & relax, not go to a zoo atmosphere! I don't know if I will try this place again, but when I asked the waitress if during the week it would be a better option, & when her reply was on a Saturday night it was pretty calm I don't think this is my kind of place! I think I will stick with Mojo's the bbq is awesome with no chaos & the parents keep control of their children!!!! read more

ABBQ is one of our favorite BBQ places here in Jacksonville. It's a large place with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There is a large bar with wrap around seating as well. We weren't mega hungry do we had some Happy Hour drinks (well drinks $4), Crystal got a loaded baked potato appetizer (free with a Yelp check-in!!!) for her meal. I got the turkey plate with green beans and mac & cheese. The turkey was juicy and very tasty, this can be my new go to. The green beans with slivered almonds were hot and crispy, very good! The mac & cheese was good but nothing special. Crystal's baked potato was also very good. She added pulled pork to it, extra tasty. Everything here is good, we've had all of the meat options. Like I said, the turkey is my new favorite. read more

Please let me preface this review of ABBQ by saying that after many years of working in the restaurant industry, I don't take reviews like this lightly, and I would never be posting this had I not given the restaurant owner(s) a chance to make things right. My husband and I got married on May 28th of this year and decided on ABBQ for catering services. In February, we had a call with either a manager or owner, discussed buffet-style food options/pricing, and decided on a menu. We chose to have pork, brisket, and turkey (we have multiple friends/family who do not eat red meat), and a couple of sides. Fast forward to April and we decided to have a date night out together, choosing ABBQ as our dinner spot. We had an amazing server (sorry - I can't remember her name), but when we asked to speak to a manager about submitting our payment for the wedding catering, she sent a manager of ABBQ to our table. He told us that if we paid him that night in April, his entire inventory would be inaccurate until the end of May. Now, if you've ever worked anywhere in your life (especially for a small business), you know how inventory works - and you also know to take a customer's money if they are giving it to you. There are ways to make a record of pre-paid items while keeping your inventory accurate. Despite not being given a single "thank you for choosing us for your wedding" or "congratulations," we went along with it and agreed to pay closer to the wedding date. Now May 28th, the day of our wedding. ABBQ showed up without the turkey we ordered or any of the silverware they promised to bring (for reference, the house we got married at was a ~45-minute drive one-way from ABBQ). They promised to drive back and bring us the missing items, and they arrived 1.5 hours after our reception was supposed to begin. To make up for a mistake like this should be simple. An apology from the owner or manager, possibly paired with a "thank you" or "congrats," honestly would have made all of the difference. Instead, we were given 13 coupons for a complimentary cocktail or appetizer (hardly an apology). Last weekend, we decided to give them one more chance and take our coupons with us. We had another great server, and she let the managing partner who we had spoken to before know that we were there and wanted to use some of the coupons. He knew we were there - he even delivered a round of drinks to us - and did not say one word or mention the mistakes that were made. I understand that mistakes happen sometimes, but ABBQ did not make any effort to make up for what they did, nor did they ever thank us for our business. I used to recommend this place to everyone, but unfortunately, I won't be doing that anymore. read more

My husband loves BBQ and has been wanting to try ABBQ for a while. We've been to Woodpeckers, Mojo, Bearded Pig, Bono's, Sonny's, among other places I can't think of and I have just never really been a fan of BBQ but ABBQ was soooooo good!!!! The Mac and Cheese was some of the best I've ever had! The burnt ends (I don't think they're on the menu, but are served as an app) were so tasty and tender and flavorful! My husband got the 1513 sandwich; it was huge and full of amazing flavor! Nothing was dry and bland! We sat at the bar and got great service and drinks! (Really enjoyed the Greener Pastures!) I wish I took pictures of the actual restaurant, but it's a really cool space too! The bar is in the center with half of it inside and half of it outside. The outside seating has artificial turf and is rather large with picnic tables and games like corn hole. ABBQ is a 40 minute drive for us, but we will 100% be back! read more

I have wanted to try this place for a very long time and finally the opportunities happened. It was busy with large groups of people. Parking isn't that great but doable. We did get seating right away. We had a young man that was right on his game. Very cordial and knowledgeable. We got our drinks fairly quickly. The menu is fairly extensive and has many options. The bar is full stocked with alcohol, beer and wine. They do have specialty drinks. It gets fairly loud as the crowds are chit chatting so don't come for an intimate dinner. There are outdoor decks for seating as well. Due to the crowds we had to wait on our food longer than I wished. It was just me and my husband and glad we were not in a hurry. I give the waiter credit though because he did finally come say something to us about the delay before I was about to ask. When we got our food, the pulled pork was well seasoned and the smoke flavor was really good, and meat was tender. The portion for the price seemed somewhat steep. I opted for green beans that were good. My husband had macaroni and cheese. He also got the potato casserole. He said both were good. He ordered dessert and once again we are waiting and probably would not have ordered it had we known it was going to take so long. He ordered banana pudding so it seemed like it would be already prepared. Finally, he got it and said it was real good. Overall we enjoyed it, but wished the wait at times wouldn't be so long. read more

I couldn't be more excited to have this new BBQ place in Atlantic Beach! We stopped in on whim one Saturday afternoon and thankfully caught the tail end of their brunch special. The Tiger Lilly drink was champagne, elderflower, and grapefruit juice and SO DELICIOUS! I would choose that over a mimosa ANY day now! Also on their brunch special was the avocado toast with roasted tomatoes, toasted almonds, and a savory buttered toasted bread. Probably my new favorite avocado toast at the beaches! The pulled pork and bbq sandwiches also did not disappoint. Everything smelled and tasted delicious! We loved the atmosphere as well and plan on coming back for drinks one night and to hang out on the lawn. They have cornhole, live music, and an indoor/outdoor bar. Also with your check in during business hours you get a free appetizer! Great job ABBQ! read more

This is a boutique barbecue and the prices reflect that. Wednesday afternoon acoustic guitar music on the patio. Just not for me. I'm a meat and potatoes kind of guy who likes his barbecue with baked beans...$2 up charge.... I did not enjoy the experience. The meat was done well. But that's about all that I can say they don't even offer garlic bread. The "brioche bun" was just a hamburger bun. Sliced pork not offered pulled pork is just a ice cream scoop in the middle of a hamburger bun. The other bread choice is toasted sourdough bread. Not for me read more

We came on Sunday for dinner and food was terrible. Meat was dry and unflavored. Sausage links were gritty and not good. Resembled the consistency of cat food. Sides were cold and seem like they have been sitting out long. Food came within 5 mins of ordering which tells me it was just sitting in kitchen. Not happy at all. Server was so sweet though which was the only plus. I reached out to restaurant after leaving and absolutely no reply even though they received the message. People work too hard for their money for this service and quality of food. read more

Went here Saturday for the special. It was a one pound beef rib. The atmosphere is good and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Now for the meal.

I was planning on taking my food to-go, but realized there was a TON of space when I walked into the restaurant. I asked the staff if they minded us eating in, and they were more than happy to accommodate. They grabbed us some water and led us to a seat. The setup of the restaurant is awesome. It's a much larger space than it looks from the outside. And you can also sit outside with their cute outdoor space. The food is amazing. Best brisket I've ever had. It's perfectly salty and moist, even the lean brisket. We ended up getting an extra pound of brisket to go because we loved it so much. I also looooved the fries. My one criticism is that the macaroni in the mac and cheese is a little too cooked for my preference. It's SUPER creamy mac and cheese so that makes the texture too "soft". Another thing I really loved is the staff. Everyone was very kind and checked in on us. They even brought us a sample of one of the sides, just because! Overall an awesome experience and I know I'll be back soon. Thanks ABBQ! read more

Holy smokes. This place was AMAZING! I ended up here for lunch with a former co-worker who lives in the area. When he told me the place was "pretty good", I was expecting run of the mill, not too bad, just okay bbq. I was wrong! For lunch I had the two meat platter with brisket and pulled pork, and mac and cheese and the honey sriracha Brussel sprouts. WOW! EVERYTHING was great!!! The meat itself was so good, I didn't want to ruin it by putting any sauces on it. I might even admit that this place has overtaken my local BBQ spot (in Virginia) and the best BBQ place I have ever ate at. This is definitely a gem that I will have to stop at next time I am Jacksonville. read more

Great place. Fun for families. Great happy hour. The outside is one of the best at the beach.

I have eaten here twice. I would say my first experience was better than the last. However, we ate the same thing. I had a bbq sandwich that had everything on it. The food itself was delicious on both occasions. As a Texan transplant, I can truly appreciate the Texas style barbecue (i.e. brisket and pickles and onions) and seeing frito pie on the menu. I am surprised for the location and decor, some days it can seem very empty. On the last occasion we went, the weather was bad. I believe we were getting a hurricane alerts. I had gotten off of work late and wanted to grab something quick with my family. I called when I was on the way and about 2 minutes from the restaurant. When we walked in and were seated, the server comes up and said they closing hour early and we needed to put in our orders quick before the kitchen closes. He said it was a last minute decision since they were slow. I said I would have appreciated if the hostess had said something so I could have made another decision. Server was not entirely nice about it. Felt super rushed and couldn't enjoy the experience like I normally would have. However, that one experience is not stopping me from going back again. I realize the weather is not something we can control. However I do think this particular situation could've been handled differently. Do plan to go back on a regular day. read more

This was pretty good. Bit too expensive, but it was good barbecue. Good service and was pleasant inside.

Everything was absolutely and completely delicious, we choose to sit outside and enjoyed it all. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5, our waitress did not spend any time (we came early and there was only 1 other group) with first timers who asked questions to explain the menu. We ended up spending 25% more because we did not have the exact language to order what we wanted. Probably will not go back. read more

Love this place!! Came for my second time today and was so happy to see they were still open for to go orders. My fiancé and I were able to order from our car and ended up choosing the pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. The orders came out quickly (love the efficiency!) and were still hot when we got home to eat. The meat is smoked to perfection and so tasty- while they provide multiple sauces to put on your sandwich, we barely used any as the meat is delicious by itself. Will be back when they are open for dine in service- looking forward to trying some craft cocktails in their I outdoor bar! read more

I reached out to the General Manager, Dylan Lynch, in February to plan our end of year teacher luncheon for May 30th for 45 people. He replied that would work out great because no other large parties were booked for that day yet. I was in contact with the GM to plan this luncheon from 2/4/2025-5/30/25. He assured me with every email that we were all set. When we arrived on the 30th, we were seated outside in 93° heat. This plan was not presented to me in any communication prior to us being there. Even with contacting and planning so far in advance, the food was not set up until 20 minutes after the event was supposed to start. Only one server was assigned to take care of our large group. After everyone had eaten, the rolls were brought out which were included in the original order. We have held our school luncheon at ABBQ in the past and have never been seated outside nor experienced problems with the food being ready. The GM was not helpful at all and borderline rude. I won't plan any event with ABBQ in the future. The whole event was very disappointing. read more

ABBQ Meat & Drink serves Texas style BBQ at Atlantic Beach. We made a visit for lunch on a Tuesday around noon and the restaurant was not very busy (only a couple tables filled). As such the atmosphere was quiet but still had a bar feel with the many sports monitors around. All of the menu is a la carte (Meats, Sandwiches, Entree's, Salads, Sides etc.) We ordered: CAB Prime Brisket (1/2 pound) $12 & Baked Cowboy Beans (Single Serving) $3.50 CAB Prime Brisket (1/2 pound) $12 & Potato Casserole (Single Serving) $3.50 Our order came out probably about 5 minutes from when placed. Pretty quick! The Brisket were decent thick cuts, moist, flavorful with a nice bark crust. The Potato Casserole was tasty rich and creamy. The Baked Cowboy Beans were not what I expected as standard BBQ Baked beans. (The beans were more like a tangy zesty chili). The sauce is available upon request. They have a House (Sweet BBQ) and Mustard. I leaned toward the House. ABBQ Meat & Drink is a nice BBQ option at the Beach. I probably would have given 5 stars if the sides were included with the price or some bread/cornbread came with the meat. Pros - 5 stars (Excellent BBQ) Service - 5 stars (Fast) Value - 3 (Everything is A la carte. For the Entree & sides prices, sides should be included in the Entree or bread/cornbread.) read more

Enjoyed our meal at ABBQ, despite the mad dash across Atlantic Blvd to avoid paying for valet parking. Valet is the worst! Restaurant had more workers than customers, and service was on point. Lots of people hanging at the bar, and the tables in the great kid-friendly backyard space was full, but inside was pretty empty. We split a 2-meat shareable platter and added a third side. Overall, brisket was tasty. Ribs good. Mac was good. Fries were delish! Apparently they are fried in brisket fat. The only item I didn't love was the beans...these had a tangy flavor as opposed to my preferred sweet profile. I do wish they had more side options...I don't recall any veggie choices. Our total for 2 meats and 3 sides (and water) was $30 including tip. So not crazy pricy, but not cheap either. read more

This was my first visit to ABBQ. Very open layout, clean, bright (natural light), lots of tables, large wrap around bar, cool outside seating and play area for kids. The visual presentation of this restaurant is fantastic. The food looks very good as well. The flavors leave me wishing for a little more but in general it was solid; just not wowing as I had hoped. Parking is scarce so you will either need to use the complimentary valet service or be prepared to walk a block or two, if you don't snag one of their dozen or so spaces directly adjacent to their building. It's worth a try but not on my go-to list of bbq spots. read more
