    Smoked Chicken and Turkey

    My wife and I had the pleasure of dining there last Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy given the time of day and being a Sunday. My wife had a combination platter of smoked chicken and smoked turkey . She absolutely loved it. I had the fried catfish which was excellent. I had the BBQ beans as a side and they may have been the best I have ever had. Kudos to the kitchen staff for a wonderful meal. Our experience was enhanced by our server Melanie. She was attentive and pleasant. Lindsay and Linda Johnson

    We came during the night of lights. And this was the only empty restaurant. We got seated right away, got our orders right away and the food was really good. I will definitely come back!

    Let's start from that we were looking for a barbecue place about 30 minutes and then we decide to go to this magic place which it was not busy at all and that was amazing because we were so hungry. The service was really fast. Nice and friendly. I ordered a burger and corn. My boyfriend ordered a barbecue sandwich with bbq beans. 5 stars my bf said. I was surprised about this place and now for me it's one of my five best burgers that I've ever had in Florida. (Bbq) the place was quiet. No complaints it's a great place to eat and have a wonderful conversation. They have five different sauce that you can add to your burger or sandwich. Iced tea with refills. You can park in the parking lot two or three blocks away, but to be honest parking is a bit difficult, unless you're gonna stay the whole day there. ($20 all day) Then you're fine. Thanks for your great service!! Hope to try these amazing barbecue sandwiches/ burgers next time.

    Excellent BBQ is offered here. SO and I stopped in for lunch and shared a 3 meat plate...pulled pork, chicken and burnt ends (which was a slight upcharge, but worth it). The plate comes with a choice of 2 sides. The burnt ends and chicken were phenomenal!

    I was quite underwhelmed with this BBQ experience. The place was fairly empty at 7pm on a Saturday night. Our server was very kind and the food came out very quick. The boom boom shrimp was great and slightly heavy on the sauce. I was very excited about the corn, but unfortunately they ran out before we ordered. None of our entrees were hot, and someone in our party actually had to send the ribs back to the kitchen because it was a little too cold. The chicken was flavorful and the Texas toast was great, but very salty. I don't eat brisket but people in our party said their brisket was too chewy and dry. Overall I was disappointed in the quality of the food, but perhaps it was just a bad night.

    Pretty sure this is now my parent's favorite restaurant. Everything we had was tasty from the ribs to the brisket to the pulled pork. Sides were great as well. Mac and cheese was top tier, collards were juicy and flavorful and French fries were hot and fresh. Onion rings were yummy. The coleslaw was a bit generic and under seasoned, but everything else was delish. Great service. Also really love the unique artwork throughout the restaurant. Will be back!

    Burnt Ends
    Michelle A.

    We were looking for some food. Placed an order to go for burnt ends. We walked back to the car and everyone asked to taste one . So I shared we all went back and order 2 more orders. We will return for kitty. They were very delicious and service was really quick. The host was so nice. He remembered me when I came back . The place looked nice and relaxing

    We can't come to St. Augustine without eating here. Completely obsessed with the Brunswick Stew - so much so - that we ask to purchase a quart to take home every time. I love their wings! Chicken wings smoked then flash fried, so it keeps all the juices inside and crispy outside. Tonight (12/30/25) our server "Melanie" was AMAZING!! Attentive, friendly, on top of everything even though it was very busy. Cannot recommend this place enough.

    The meats were very delicious. The Mac & cheese needed a bit more flavor but everything else was really good. There was in and out door seating so you have an option but the service was okay.

    The host is very friendly and welcoming. The service is very attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable about the food they are serving. The food was very flavorful. The smoked brisket fell apart so nicely, it was juicy. The North Carolina pulled pork was succulent. They have one of the best collard greens I have ever had and their coleslaw was very nice. My lunch guest said the salmon was done to perfection and so was the green beans. I would highly recommend coming by for some smoked bbq, it is worth the trip. Don't forget to say hello to the host Juan and ask for Dave as your server.

    Ribs & brisket platter
    Dr. Richard M.

    Had dinner here during a trip at the busiest time of year, Christmas. The place was on an hour wait. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The food and service were excellent. We had several appetizers and entrees. The onion rings and fried pickles are delicious. For dinner we had ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. I highly recommend all three. The side coleslaw and Texas toast were good. We were too full for desert. Difficult to park as this is a walkable town.

    K M.

    To be honest I would give this place a 3 star, but my husband said the ribs were really good and the service was very nice. Pros: Burnt ends are great, nice sauce selection, onion rings very good, macaroni was good, cool selection of food Cons: brisket super, super dry, really fatty, gristly cut of meat. Could not chew through it. Never experienced that with brisket. Baked was very interesting too.

    Pulled pork sandwich with Mac and cheese $16
    Marisa C.

    Mojo Old City BBQ was the top rated spot in St Augustine, so we wanted to give it a try. I love that the patio is dog friendly, they sat us outside quickly but we waited a good time to be served afterwards. I do appreciate that their space heaters were working, it seems like most places that have them don't have any propane in them. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich for $16, and wanted fries as a side dish but they were out. I'm really surprised that a restaurant this big is out of such a standard side. Since our first option wasn't a go, we went with what the server recommended, the Mac and cheese. The pork was super dry, but I liked that they had a variety of sauces to top it with. Mac and cheese was pretty basic, so I was a little disappointed. Service was pretty slow, but I feel like they were short staffed for how big the inside dinning was. Overall, we weren't impressed with our first visit. I appreciate the friendly dog patio and the food coming out quickly.

Firstly, I would like to point out that when a review is posted is not the same as when the visit was. Secondly, a woman FROM YOUR BUSINESS came to MY car and personally told me that the restaurant was closed for renovations. And she did the same to at least 2 more cars of people. AND I asked here why the hours were NOT updated on google and she replied "Well we posted the hours somewhere." And no, this what not on a Sunday. We checked the hours before planning our trip and you were supposedly going to be open but your hours were not updated to reflect any renovations. You are a rude bold face liar making up things that plainly didn't happen. Here's how I can prove you're a liar: how would I know that you were closed for renovations supposedly before they started as you claim if I'm from out of town and came on a day that you're always closed as you claim before they ever started? I couldn't. I would have had to be there during the renovations as I was. And I was told by a woman on your staff! Talk to your staff maybe before you get so nasty. ORIGINAL: Tried to go to this place on vacation. It was closed for renovations and only found out after pulling into the parking lot. What vacation destination closes for renovations during vacation season anyway? They did NOT update their google hours nor did they put it on their sign at the restaurant. While I tried to find an alternative place for lunch after having my plans ruined, several other cars showed up like myself to the restaurant to be told by someone that they were closed as no one knew. My family planned a trip to this location just to try this restaurant. (Over a 3 hour drive). They should have updated their hours or at least put it on their sign. Poor management. Never even apologized for the major inconvenience. I already posted this review once and the owner or manager had it taken down because they didn't like my truthful post about their poorly ran restaurant. I consider that very disrespectful and misleading to everyone out here seeking honest reviews. If you want better reviews then be better. Don't doctor the stats!

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!
