    Brisky's is the real deal. First off - it was packed at 1:50 in the afternoon. The staff was incredibly friendly and offered us a couple of samples prior to ordering. It's casual, but the brisket and turkey were as good as it gets. Turkey and pork are much easier to prepare, IMO, but brisket is a science and Frisky's gets an A+! On the turkey as well - and I don't even like turkey! We also had French fries (fresh and not from a bag), mac and cheese and baked beans. The latter two had a TINY kick, but delicious! (Spicy is not my thing.) Everything is made from scratch, which is not common these days. Brisky's has made its way onto our regular rotation!

    Excellent barbecue just outside of downtown Saint Augustine. We have been there a few times and it is always good. Chicken was very flavorful, Smokey and juicy. Their fried okra is probably the best I've ever had. Fast friendly service, good came out quickly! They close at 7, so arrive early.

    Fast counter service, Yes! Friendly staff, Yes! Yummy food, Yes! Plenty of seating and western flare Five stars because the BBQ was so good. I also love the creative specials. Today I had the brisket sheppard's pie! It was super.

    Southern hospitality, great service, and solid BBQ with killer sauces. This place nails hospitality. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted, guided through the menu, and even told about their hours in case we wanted to come back. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful -- truly standout service. We ordered the 3-meat combo with brisket, ribs, and al pastor. The BBQ here isn't Texas-style -- not super smoky, and the meat can lean a bit dry -- but they absolutely make up for it with a great variety of sauces: hot BBQ, sweet BBQ, datil vinegar, Carolina vinegar, and honey mustard. The vinegar-based ones were my favorite and really elevated the meat. Sides were solid. The mac and cheese was comforting and homey, while the coleslaw was fresh, though it could've been colder. We also got the fried okra appetizer, which was piping hot, crispy, and delicious -- highly recommend. The restaurant has free seating with a southern-themed, casual vibe, and paired with the friendly staff, it really delivers that classic Southern family-style experience. Overall, a great time -- not perfect in terms of meat texture, but the sauces, service, and sides more than make up for it.

    10.24.25 I wanted BBQ for dinner. After reviewing Yelp, I found Brisky's Family Style BBQ. Located just off N Ponce De Leon Blvd in Saint Augustine, Florida. I arrived right at 5:30pm. The parking lot was full. As I entered I can see 2 separate dining areas. Both are fairly full. There's a nice sign saying welcome to Brisky's BBQ. I placed a takeout order for 2 meat meal $21.21. pulled pork & Brisket. 2 Mac and Cheese. 1/2 corn on the cob & 2 pcs of Garlic Toast. Cashier offered Sweet BBQ Sauce in the side. ***Took 25 minutes but the food was hot so I knew it would stay that way till I got home. *I fixed our dinner plates. Mac & Cheese was creamy. The toast was delicious. The Brisket was tender. Neither of the 2 portions of BBQ had flavor at all. I seasoned mine with Sazon. Hubby added the Sweet BBQ sauce to his. It was a bit spicy. Hubby thinks that if we ate inside the restaurant the food would better. I'm not sure of this but I'm willing to give them a 2nd try in the future.

    This is some of the best bbq in St. Augustine and Jacksonville for that matter. The brisket is very good and very consistent which is hard to do at some places. The sides are very good the beans have good flavor, the fries are big, plentiful, and fresh! I enjoy the salads here a lot. The staff here is extremely friendly. The owner is constantly walking around making sure he greets everyone and makes sure their orders exceed expectations.

    My husband loves American BBQ, so upon seeing the post of fellow Yelper James D., we immediately made a plan to visit them. The place is huge! You order at the counter and they will call your name to deliver the food to your table. We both ordered briskets and collard greens. The brisket was tasty although a tad dry. My husband also got their ribs and potato salad, and I had chicken plus green beans. We both agreed that all their sides tasted fresh and delicious! I also enjoyed my chicken, flavorful and juicy! If any restaurant has bread pudding, we are going to order it! And Brisky's version did not disappoint! It was a little sweeter than I usually like, but still incredibly tasty. Maybe I'll ask for the caramel to be on the side next time. Perfect way to end our yummy lunch!

    Food was delicious and comforting! What a neat BBQ joint! Not only was the food comforting, but so were the people. The service alone would keep us coming back for more.

    I'm a huge BBQ fan, and after seeing a post online, we knew we had to try it. My wife went with the chicken and brisket, while I chose the ribs and brisket. It definitely hit the spot! For sides, we had potato salad, green beans, and collard greens, all of which tasted fresh and delicious. The bread pudding was also a great finish to the meal. Just a little sweet for me. Service was excellent.

Wow, I must have really struck a nerve! It's ALWAYS the lackluster places, that don't take constructive criticism very well. You have no idea how much I can smoke, and I will smoke circles around you. How many competitions have you been in again? No need to act all snooty, because your food sucks and you don't know how to carve a tri-tip, nor do you know how to smoke a brisket. And your "professional pitmaster" Can't even smoke a pork butt for pulled pork, but in such a hurry to crank out an inferior product, can only make sliced. What is that, 6 hours on a smoker? Hahaha!!! In my no holds barred review, I actually complimented you on MULTIPLE facets. And since you want to act the way that you're acting and throw a fit because you're serving an inferior product and bragging about speed over quality, I'm going to knock you down to one star! How do you like that? REAL pitmasters smoke brisket (AND PULLED pork) And the last I checked, it's not on YOUR menu. ::shrug:: Your food actually sucks, and I was trying to be positive and give you guys a higher rating, by someone who actually KNOWS BBQ, but since you went and did what you did, I'll just come out & say it! "One" rack of ribs XD. My ribs are Johnny Trigg style, and take 6 hours from beginning to end with another 12 going into prep, and I can smoke WAY more than one rack at a time, dummy. Do you even know what kind of smoker I have? Did you bother to look? Ditch the attitude. Because the only thing you're really got going on for you right now, is that you don't use a pellet oven. How about this, I'll come back through, and take over your operation for a week, free of charge, and show you how it's REALLY done, and get your ratings up a little bit higher, and make sure that not just the locals are leaving your reviews? We'll see who the amateur is then. You have no idea what I've smoked in my life, or the smokers that I've used. You also have zero idea about my culinary past. Rage emotion much? Yeah, that's a telltale sign of insecurity. How about this, I'll bring an offset reverse flow trailer smoker, park it in Circle k, and take all of your business while you're in a scurry "wrapping" your "87 pounds of beef" or whatever it is to a demographic that doesn't know true barbecue, But are just happy to have something other than Mexican and Cuban food. You probably serve "Award winning 'fall of the bone' ribs", which in a competition, you would be disqualified for. Because all you got to do is steam those puppies and then throw them in your traeger (sp?) and slap on your pungent, lame, whack sauce that you emphatically offer, to cover up the inferiority of your barbecue. You should have kept your mouth shut. I compliment you, and you take a dump on me? Y'all better hope a REAL smokehouse doesn't open up in your demographic, because you'll go belly up. As a matter of fact, I've actually been looking for a new location for a new restaurant. Hmmmm.... Yeah... Smokin "D's" is RIGHT HAHAHAHA!

During this time she was taking other orders, seating other people, following up with them and bussing the tables. She was so efficient, cordial and purposeful that you couldn't help but noticed she was clearly "on her game" and great at her job. Surely the management must have noticed what customers noticed and took the time to comment on.

The only suggestion I can offer to make it better would be to open up a restaurant in the Savannah Ga area, preferably around exit 87 off I-95. Great atmosphere, food and service. I highly recommend it. Can't wait to bring my wife to visit.
