The sliced brisket sandwich was piled high with tender delicious brisket. Loved the spicy sauce and the side of mac and cheese was also delicious.

Wow! This was the highlight of my trip. Well worth the drive…read more First the pricing seems very fair for what you get. Ok ok, ribs are not suppose to fall off the bone when you pick them up. That is over cooked. These were perfect! They stayed on the bone all the way up to the bite. The brisket was spot on. I loved that the sauces were on the side as you could try it with just the seasoning on the meat and then with the sauce. Their mustard sauce was amazing. We don't have bbq like this in cali. We don't. Just like we don't have NY pizza, true NY pizza. I bought a bottle of sauce.... And it's gone already.

My guy ordered the brisket sandwich and we also tried the baked beans (vegetarian), cole slaw and potato salad. All good news, he loved the tender, flavorful meat and the beans especially were great.

You won't be disappointed.

Luckily there was a space heater right next to us to provide warmth. The outdoor seating had big heaters too, but they were reluctant to turn those on. The place had a really laid-back, country ambiance, like you would imagine a bbq joint to have. There were rolls of paper towels at the tables and your food comes in a plastic tray lined with aluminum foil and some plastic silverware. I had the centercut rib meal specifically because it comes with two sides and I wanted baked-beans and collard greens. The collards were but big unlike the chopped stuff I've had in the past and were good. The baked-beans were also good and I ate most of those too. The ribs (two) looked beautiful with the bark seasoning and they tasted good too. The meal came with some bread that did not taste good and I didn't want to eat all of it. The sweet tea was fabulous and you get free refills and already comes in a styrofoam to-go cup for the win. The service was excellent. The two younger waitresses were very nice, attentive, and helpful. No problems there. We learned from them that there is live music many nights during the week in the evening from around 5-6pm to close (I think around 9pm) Although I had a great experience at Captain Stan's, I unfortunately cannot say that the food is life-changing, which is what I am looking for with BBQ. The prices were fair and the portions were more than adequate. *tip - they offer a military discount.

This is the real deal: a classic roadhouse with truly excellent barbecue. To make it even better…read morethere was a very good band "Midwest Riders" playing that night, playing mostly country from the 70s-80s, switching to rock with an emphasis of the southern genre on the second set. And a few of their own songs too, which were pretty good too. All the way from Michigan of all places. The specialty here is the ribs. They are heavily smoked with a substantial dark bark. Great flavor, tender, and meaty. They're served without a sauce; just the dry rub is sufficient. (Maybe there was sauce available on the side but I didn't ask.) The rib plate is a serving of 2 ribs with a choice of 2 sides. Also sliced pickled banana peppers, a nice touch. I thought 2 might not be enough so I upgraded to the half rack (5 ribs) and ate 3 and saved 2 for later. They were quite large so I probably could have made do with 2. My sides were collard greens and potato salad. The collards were kind of ordinary, but the potato salad? Wow, almost as good as my wife's, who makes the best! Potatoes not cooked down to mush, not too mayonnaisey, tangy, peppery, and crunchy from diced peppers. Good portion sizes for the sides too. No corn bread or hush puppies, unfortunately. Other barbecue items include chicken and Boston Butt. The menu makes it harder to order these as a meal (a la carte only for some reason) but it can be done. Also chili, peel&eat shrimp, oysters (when available locally) and a few things for non-barbecue lovers. I sat at the outside bar where I could easily take in the scene: the band on the stage, the cheerful warm fire in the center throwing sparks and a pleasant smoky aroma, the patrons, many of whom were in costume on this Halloween night, kids dancing to the music (surprisingly no adults), and dogs all over the place running amok and having a great time too. Speaking of the bar: don't expect craft beers or gourmet drinks here; it's all generic national brands. I had an Angry Orchard, a pretty bad cider from New York. Lingering a while to listen to the music I eventually finished with a slice of key lime pie. Adorned with nothing more than whipped cream from a can and a slice of lime it was nevertheless surprisingly good. 5 stars so far. Normally I give a pass on bad restrooms, especially in a place like this, but in this case, sadly they lost a star. I heard somebody mention the men's room needed attention and 10 minutes later I wanted to use it and found a toilet filled to overflowing, the floor soaked with water and presumably other liquids. Surprisingly no urinal (yes I was in the right room for my gender). So I decided to "hold it" and just washed my hands, getting enough soap from the nearly empty dispenser. A half hour later when I visited again the toilet was fixed and the floor mostly dry but the soap dispenser was completely empty. Isn't that something they would check at the same time they fixed the clog? This wouldn't stop me from coming back, but I sure hope the kitchen staff has access to better facilities!

I remembered a new BBQ place I saw in Folkston, so we headed out to try their flavors. As we neared the restaurant, I looked down Main St for a parking spot. The first couple of drive-bys didn't work out. I thought to myself, "This might be a good thing." We walked in and immediately noticed how simple the place was. My Self and I had another moment when he said, "It is simple because their focus is on the food," which seemed to make sense. We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable. I even noticed that the entire staff looked young -- or, if I may say so, high school-aged. We ordered based on our server's suggestions. We started with the Chicken Bombs, which were tasty. The sweet tea was well-made, with good flavor and not overly sweet. Our platter arrived. Keep in mind that this is Dry Rub BBQ, so the seasoning in the dry rub should complement the meat and be strong enough that no sauce is needed. Well, buckle up, buttercup, because the truth might hurt, and I hope this is taken as constructive criticism. The Good: Our server The chicken bombs resemble crab Rangoon, and the flavor was good. The baked beans--I was looking around to see if Duke from Bush's was going to pop up somewhere. The fried okra was good, but then again, it's not rocket science to open a bag of frozen okra and fry it. THE BAD: Let's talk Turkey: It's like the turkey spent its whole life in the Sahara practicing for dehydration Olympics. It was so dry that it made the Sahara Desert jealous, and take notes. One bite and your mouth feels like you've been chewing cardboard left in the sun for three Thanksgivings. It's so parched that the gravy boat is basically performing CPR on every slice. This turkey could star in a Western: "The Driest Gun in the West." "It's just a little dry... but anything tastes good with enough gravy!" The Ribs: The ribs seem as if they were mummified in the smoker and then reheated with regret. These ribs are so dry they're almost like beef jerky that got lost on the way to flavor town. They're drier than polite small talk at a family BBQ after someone brings up politics. Chew on this, and you'll see why cowboys carried canteens. Pure survival mode kicked in. The Brisket: The BBQ tragedy where the smoke ring was perfect, but the moisture said "peace out" hours ago. The fat cap was the only thing that saved this from being a complete disaster. The Brunswick Stew: first bite sets the tone. The cold temperature was off-putting; it was clearly not in the same vicinity as the baked beans. If they were, I'm sure they were jealous or just preparing for an Arctic blast. Reality is the best teacher, and experience lays the foundation for improvement. Pit boss, please taste your creations before serving the public. If you don't like them, I can assure you, we will let you know.

Right away the place had a great vibe, busy but still comfortable, and you could tell they take their food seriously. Marcus took care of us and his service really stood out. He was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out right without us having to ask. It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ.

The Whole South Bank came with ribs, chicken, and two other meets of your choice (we got brisket and pulled pork) along with 4 sides.
