    20 lumppias and 2 pork bao buns
    Adam K.

    Like a lighthouse on a darkened shore, Bar-B-Q Sticks is the cure all for hangovers of beachgoers. I woke this morning, sand in my face, seawater in all the wrong places, and the shame of last nights mischief cresting over like the waves trying to pull me off shore, least to say I was famished. As I waddled over to the nearest house to beg forgiveness and fries I happened across Bar B Q Sticks. The girlboss lady owner say my wretched state and said the last thing any woman on the precipice of a bad relationshipwith a toxic man would, "I can fix him." Right she was though, i ordered 20 lumpias with 2 bao buns and 6 chicken bar b q sticks, she was kind and sweet, the food came out within 10 minutes and was delicious in the way that you would think your mother wrapped you in a cloth and settled you in a manger cause God decided you were the goat! And as the tremors of my alcoholism faded I got to enjoy this Second Coming of Sobriety with a gorgeous view of the beach! 10/10 would recover here again

    Yes.! So flavorful. The beef was tender on the skewer. Smoky bbq flavor. If you're looking for a quick snack to hold you over, or a delicious meal beachside, this is the spot. Service was quick and the staff is friendly. Cozy patio seating area. Can't wait to come back.!

    Pork & beef bbq, beef empanadas, beef and cheese spring roll and Philly cheese spring roll.

    Service was very welcoming. Food was amazing reminds me of home. You get a lot for what you pay for. Ambiance was chill love the outdoor seating.

    What a yummy little spot near the beach. Beware, it is cash only. It was just one guy running the show so the wait for food was about 15-20 minutes. There was a little sitting area or you can take your food to-go. The meatball on a stick and shrimp on a stick were my favorites. The chicken and pork were good as well. Prices were very decent and they had a good selection on the menu. I saw a few more things I want to try next time.

    How did I not know about this quick, tasty Pilipino food shack in Jax until now?! I highly recommend the BBQ Combo #1 which comes with a pork or chicken BBQ stick (chicken was GREAT!), pancit noodles, and vegetable stir fry with a side of rice and lumpia w/ sauce. The front counter server/cook was very friendly and professional. She offered a bag and have us updated for when our meals would be ready. Seating is limited and on wooden benches around tables with pop-up beach umbrellas. There is parking next to it, but you may have to pay the attendant since it is in Atlantic Beach (parking is horrible during busy times but not impossible). Enjoy and embrace this local favorite!

    No complaints. The lumpia came hot and the chicken on the stick was pretty tender. If you plan on coming here they take cash only.

    Vegetable Lumpia

    Quick, fresh and delicious meal! We stopped for lunch and got bbq sticks, garlic rice, noodles and vegetable lumpia for under $30. Free parking at the restaurant. Cash only

    I knew I could depend on this place for a quick, and delicious meal for 5. Had friends pop into town and they always want Filipino food when they visit. But I had no lumpia rolled and no time to cook after working all day. Ordered 3 pancit, 12 BBQ sticks, and 50 pieces of lumpia. All of this fed 5 for about $60 and we had plenty left over. Super affordable! And delicious. I think any Filipino will say the food isn't as good as their own or their moms, but I'm sure they all agree that it's good. And the BBQ sticks are the best! He makes them exactly how my godfather seasons his--which I cannot duplicate. Such a nostalgic and delicious flavor - savory with a hint of sweet. All made to order, it only took about 20-25 mins.

    Our dinner! :)

    Cool place! Literally a beach hut right by lemon bar, when we went it was just one woman working inside, she took our order then made it, it took about 15/20 min, the menu is smaller and all Filipino classics, don't miss the pancit, lumpia, and of course the grilled bbq sticks! Everything tasted great, eating right by the ocean and for 2 people our total was like $18 = awesome!

    Back in Jax from St Augustine and we stopped at Bar-B-Q Sticks in Neptune Beach for lunch. Unless you're looking for this place, you'd never know it was here. But like the cartoon cereal bird mascot says, "Follow your nose," and you can't miss it. The sweet smell of pork, chicken, and beef skewers cooking and caramelizing on the plancha fills the air. I got Combo #1. It comes with lumpia, pancit, garlic steamed rice, and a skewer of your choice of protein. I chose pork and an extra beef skewer on the side. This combo (minus the extra beef skewer and before drinks) is only $5.80. Best value on the beach! For dessert I got Taho; a Filipino dessert made with silken tofu, tapioca pearls, and arnibal. Arnibal is a syrup made with brown sugar and water. I also got Turon; think lumpia but with banana. If you're spending a day at the beach around the Lemon Bar area, go get you some legit Filipino street food from this little stall off the beaten path.

    OMG! This place has great prices and food! Mom and son run business. We tried beef and chicken sticks, I had number 1 combo, an order of beef lumpia, beef empanadas, and two Ginger Ales. This food was off the chain. The skinny noodles needed a little more seasoning or something, but we really enjoyed this meal in our room at the Sea Horse Motel. They have outdoor seating, but it was too hot to eat outside. Parking:there is a three car parking space for the business. I have tried to stop here in the past, but could never find a parking spot.

    Halo-Halo the BEST! Totally legit! A nice amount of flan!

    Wow! This place was so cheap and so YUMMY! Sadly, older cashier lady looks so worried though. Business is so slow, maybe? I felt so bad for them. If I can recommend to the owners, just make bigger portions and charge way more! The empanada was perfect! Shopao and halo halo A+ but the sticks and and overly skinny lumpia are too small. Prices are good so I can't complain! But I think you guys work TOO hard and charge too small. Also it's such a cute place, just have everyone u know help decorate it more: and bring life to this cute shack. Wishing u guys well.

    After a little Jeep fun at the beach and early release from school, brought my girls here for an afternoon snack. We picked up bbq sticks and banana/hazelnut empanadas and two bangus (fish) meals to go. (Brought the fish combos to my parents for them to try) When we arrived there was only one couple there already eating. As soon as we finished placing our to go order, a long line quickly formed. We got there at the perfect time. There was only one gentleman working. He had the most pleasant and calm demeanor despite how busy he was. While waiting, my girls and I sat on one of their picnic tables and enjoyed the beautiful weather and sunshine. The banana empanadas were filled with banana, jackfruit, and Nutella. My daughter said it was sooo good. The pork bbq sticks were flavorful and cooked well. It wasn't heavy so it was great to snack on while at the beach. Note: This is a cash only place. Definitely recommend this business. Food is fresh and delicious, service is great, and the prices are fair as well.

    Soooo good

    After two weekends in a row at the beach, ABBQ has officially become our go-to spot. When almost…read moreevery restaurant nearby is serving the same seafood, it's so refreshing to find a place with incredible BBQ that completely hits the spot after a day in the sun. The food is outstanding, the drinks are great, and the service is always quick, friendly, and attentive. We started with the Fritos Pie and added pulled pork--such a great decision! It made an already delicious appetizer even better. For our entrée, we shared the Texas "Trinity" (the "give me all the meats" option), which comes with ribs, sausage, and brisket. The ribs were unbelievable--fall-off-the-bone tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The sausage comes in two varieties: regular and cheddar jalapeño. The cheddar jalapeño has a nice kick without being overpowering and was absolutely worth trying. On this visit, we upgraded our sides to two fresh salads, but during our first visit we had the baked beans and coleslaw, and they were both fantastic. Honestly, everything we've tried has been delicious. If you're spending the day at Neptune Beach and need a break from seafood, ABBQ is a must-visit. We've already been back twice, and it definitely won't be our last!

I keep trying to give them another chance, so when they invited me to make a reservation for the World Cup game tonight, I took the bait. I should have gone to Mojo's or Strings instead! I stopped ordering a brisket sandwich long ago because the buns were always hard and stale. Lately, I've been going with the two meat plate because the sides are usually very good, especially the potato salad and cowboy baked beans. The turkey is usually pretty good as are the ribs, but the brisket is always pathetic, especially for a guy from Texas looking for perfection. To be fair to the management, the bar and atmosphere never fails to impress me, but when I am missing good old fashioned Texas barbecue brisket, I will be going somewhere else that knows what they are doing. Come on y'all... My summary: over rated, over priced, and over done. Low and slow is the barbecue brisket mantra, but the pit master needs to go back to Texas for a refresher course in Austin, in my humble opinion!!!

We were seated promptly and the service was quick. Food wise, they have basic options for the kids (pizza, burger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders) which works for my family. We ordered the chicken tenders and burger for our kids and they ate 90% of their entrees. I ordered the pork belly slider appetizer as my entree and added a side salad. Both were very good- the sliders were just the right size. Only change for me would be a little less sauce on the sliders. The salad was big for a side salad and had fresh ingredients. My husband ordered the French dip sandwich and seemed to enjoy his as well. Overall, we like this tavern because it's close to home and easy with the kids. The food is good and the draft beers are ice cold. The vibe is nice for a local tavern- has the claw machines on the family side and pool, darts, golden tee, etc. on the bar side
