    Onion rings
    Simran B.

    We visited Mono BBQ on a Wednesday night around 8pm. They were super accommodating to our massive party of 20 people, and the entire staff was warm and welcoming. I ordered a vodka mojito which was really well done, and then brisket with grits and onion rings. The brisket was great, and let me tell you these guys have such a nice selection of sauces! There's really something for everyone. The onion rings were super generous and really tasty, they basically gave me half an onion. My only pitfall was the grits - I think they were too garlicky (words I've never used in that configuration as I'm usually a "you can never have too much garlic" girl) and could've been balanced out better with a little more cheese. Everyone in my group had great things to say about the food here. Also their salads are a generous size! I'd definitely go back here if I lived in Jacksonville, but visiting from out of town, it was obvious that this place is great.

    First time to this location of Mojos and I was delighted to see that they execute just as well as their other locations. This location on University Blvd delivered all the same great standards that I order from other locations. The pulled pork quesadilla was seasoned well, cooked well and just delicious. There is a good argument to make that their onion rings are the best you'll have anywhere. I will say that the burnt ends were the best I've had. I don't know if that's because we arrived early in the day but they were fantastic. This location honors the blues and you'll see pictures and theming that matches. Really cool idea. Just a bit of constructive nitpicking here. I would have liked some fixings with the quesadilla. Lettuce, tomato maybe and I had to ask for sour cream which comes standard at other locations. I also ordered Cheerwine Zero which I know comes in a bottle but I typically get a cup with ice in it at different locations. Great location, great theming, all the same great flavors that Mojos does so well. I highly suggest you give them a try.

    Huge portions on the whole hog! It serves 4-6 and comes with ribs, turkey, chicken, pulled pork, sausage and 4 sides. They offered to substitute meats for extra of something else, so we substituted the sausage for extra ribs. For sides, we ordered onion rings (upcharge), corn, fries and Cole slaw. All of the sides were good, but I would probably not get the corn again, personal preference. Food came out quickly, tasted great and service was friendly!

    I've been to another Mojo before and was not impressed with their bbq. This time I had the blackened catfish with potato salad and mac n cheese and was blown away. The fish was delicious and it came with what essentially equals out to be an entire bottle of tartar sauce. This is the correct amount of tartar to fish ratio. Theresa was my server and she was so friendly and attentive. Will be going back!

    The blackened catfish is the best I've ever had. Been coming here for years. Always a great experience.

    First time dining at this location as we usually dine at the one in Avondale as it is closer to home. We also enjoy the location in St. Augustine when visiting there. We were in the area and are so happy we tried this location. We arrived not too long after opening on Sunday to a bright and clean restaurant. We were told to pick any table and chose a booth. There were only a few other customers when we arrived but the restaurant was busy as we dined. Our server was fantastic, friendly and helpful, we even learned that the onion rings appetizer could be ordered as 5 or 10 which was great since we did not want to have leftovers in the car with our other appointments. My Pepsi zero was never empty and I always enjoy the offer of a to-go cup when departing! Our food was delicious and so fresh. I am a big fan of Mojo's burnt ends and these were honestly the best ones I have had. I'm not sure if it was because it was so early in the day, but they were so juicy and perfectly cooked. Tender with just the right amount of crust that was not overly burnt. My salmon salad was also amazing. I order my salmon well done and it was delicious, moist and flavorful. My husband enjoyed both his onion rings and pork quesadilla too. Highly recommend Mojo's at any of the locations mentioned, and today's visit has given us another great local option.

    Definitely one of my favorite BBQ places! The food was fresh and DELICIOUS! Restaurant and service were excellent - love the homage to Blues musicians and guitarists in art throughout the restaurant.

    Brisket and turkey combo with Brunswick stew and green beans
    Chris C.

    I really like the bbq here and the fact that they have a good mustard based sauce. I have had the Mojo Q Salad before with the meat combination and it was so big that I got half to go right off the bat. On this visit, I got the 2 meat combo with brisket (fatty) and turkey with Brunswick stew and green beans. The brisket and turkey were so tender and delicious. The stew had a good consistency that I like but honestly I though it as well as the beans were lacking flavor. The portions are good and the prices are on par. They do serve wine and beer although I have only been here for lunch so I haven't had any or enjoyed a happy hour here. Overall, it is sold bbq. My service has always been good and the servers are always on top of things.

    Salad with pulled pork
    Rick P.

    Got there early and was seated right away. Place is like the other mojos but one big exception. No bar. They have beer and wine but nothing more. I had the 2 meat combo. Turkey and pulled pork. Sides were Brunswick stew and smoked corn. Best sides around. Can't go to mojos without trying. Actually anna tried mine and she asked for an additional side of smoked corn. That good! Anna had the salad with the pulled pork. It looked really good. Service was super fast. Food good and hot. Mojos is worth the trip. At any of them.

    Wings
    Laura G.

    The wings were great...seasoned and juicy. The rest of the meat was served dry and not very good. It's probably because it was past lunch and kind of early for dinner when I ordered. The result...disappointing. The sides did not disappoint...the onion rings seemed as though they were cooked to order and the coleslaw was fresh. The French fries were hot and the baked beans tasty.

    Dry brisket sweet potato pone, coleslaw
    Wali G.

    Meeeh. It was barbecue. Ordered the brisket and asked for the fatty point. It was pretty lean and very dry. Sides were not bad. Maybe it was the midweek blues (2pm We'd) Paid $21 and change. I mentioned that they should update their prices online ($14) She said that it was because it was on Yelp (?) Ok, if you've read this far deduct at least on more star. I wrote the above after one bite. This is my opinion after I finished. Again, the sides were good and to be fair it might have m pretty good brisket..... day before yesterday. Today it should not have been served. Very, very dry. It looks MUCH better in my picture, but it was not very pleasant to eat.

    We were on this side of town for a sporting event for my kiddo and needed some good food before heading home. My husband suggested BBQ and we found this place! It was early on a Saturday, so not crowded when we sat down and service was quick too. Prices were very fair for the portions and we left with lots of leftovers! Variety of sauces at the table for you to select from and a good amount of choices on the menu too for all your bbq cravings. Separate children's menu too which included ice cream at the end - happiness for my two littles! Meat with cooked well, full of flavor and served hot. One of the better bbq places I've had here in Jacksonville!

    Barbecue salad with brisket and chicken
    Alisa J.

    We have been coming here for over 15 years now. Been awhile since our last visit but tonight confirmed Mojo is just as good as always. Good quality, same great food. My favorite is the barbecue salad with their brisket and pulled chicken. The jalapeño cornbread croutons are delish, and the chipotle ranch packs a kick. Of course I add more chipotle sauce to my salad! Best salad ever - and enough for two meals. All the meats are good, and the Smitty is a great sandwich. This place also does amazing catering - we've had a few family get togethers catered and everyone always loves it - and we love if anything is leftover.

Many recommended oxtails, which I had never tried since I've eaten mostly vegetarian for 10+ years of my life. My doctor has suggested reintroducing some meat to see how I can tolerate with digestive disorders, so I figured give this location and oxtails a chance! For lunch one day, another coworker who traveled from Phoenix with me decided to go to lunch here. She ordered the daily special meatloaf with collared greens and said they were pretty average. She previously had someone bring in lunch from this location, and she remarked the pork chops were very delicious. Likely a case of ordering the wrong item; as another coworker mentioned the baked chicken wasn't that spectacular. What I've learned? When you dine soul food, you don't mind calories. My oxtails were delicious and fell off the bone. It reminded me of pot roast on the flavor and tenderness. Very hearty and filling. I also had the mac n cheese, which to be expected from a soul place, was divine! I found myself wishing I didn't go with a vegetable (broccoli) and did double Mac n cheese. Food for thought for a next visit if I'm sent to Jacksonville again for work as this location is only about 6 miles from the hotel/work office. If you are looking for soul food, give this location a try. It is styled like a cafeteria for lunch, so we didn't find the ambiance as relaxing as other places we went. The staff was pretty friendly and appreciate them offering a side recommendation, though shocked they said broccoli or corn as their favorite. Nonetheless, a great soul food stop if you are in the mood.
