Corned Beef breakfast and Fish n Grits Breakfast.
Jennifer B.

Decent BBQ. You can get Banana pudding as a side which I would HIGHLY recommend. Their breakfast is also delicious. Their breakfast menu have all the breakfast staples. If you are near this part of town I would recommend.

Supposed to be thick end rib dinner with garlic bread. Ribs are hard and dry, not thick end.

I ordered a thick end rib dinner with garlic bread and a salad and this is what I got. Hard middle rib on white bread and a salad . Please save yourself some trouble and go somewhere else. The service is poor on top of it all.

We have not been to the pig barbecue in probably 25 years and we were in the area so we thought we would stop for breakfast. It was OK nothing spectacular. The omelette was on the smaller side but was stuffed very well. They are extremely limited on toast and the biscuits are not fresh and homemade. They do not offer butter, rather artificial margarine spread at the table. The restaurant was clean the ice tea was fresh and we did have a nice waitress. Personally I would not drive back over there for it's a long drive from where I live but for the Time being of when we were in the area it was suitable

French Fries

Maybe give me some salt for my fries if you're gonna ask for a tip on a to go order. Also, the mustard sauce was not right, weird aftertaste.

Great home cooking. Excellent service. Been around since 1956. Seats are a bit in disrepair but everything else was on point.

Baked Potato

Very good BBQ! I had the baked potato covered with chicken and cheese. The corn nuggets were yummy. It's a hole in the wall that is worth a try!

So this week's lunch adventure took me on a nostalgic path. Being a native of this wonderful city of Jacksonville I've eaten at many BBQ spots and The Pig is one of them. More than 3 decades they have been bringing Barbecue to the fine folks in multiple locations. Growing up in Springfield the Lem Turner location was our neighborhood spot to grab a family lunch or dinner when we could. So when I went on a blind mission for lunch, my brain unconsciously led me to The Pig on Lem Turner. They are open for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, yes a BBQ place that serves breakfast!! Ms. Diana was my server and she greeted me with a smile and made me feel more than welcome when I arrived. She was suggestive, very attentive and kind of reminded me of my own grandmother. If you're looking for a spot the just breathes down home comfort food, search no more!

Sysco or similar food supplier potato salad.
Ryan M.

Really disappointing. I'm not sure the pork is even smoked. It was served in a bowl of water. Servings are very small. All of the vegetables are nothing more than out of a can. Even the special vegetables are canned. The potato salad was not even remotely edible. Publix far exceeds this potato salad. Far too many great bbq places to even consider this one. Sadly Sonny's is hands down better.

The Pig Special!! Chopped Pork Sammich! Side of corn! collards, cole slaw and fries!  Frikin deliciousness!

We had brisket, pulled pork, two large sides, Texas toast, and four drinks. Then Ernie ordered a side of fries and Arlynn and Noe ordered two large sides(come slaw and Mac n cheese)of BBQ Baked beans. We met at 2pm, after the lunch crowd was gone. I loved the murals all around the building on Roosevelt Blvd(near Edgewood exit). Parking was fine. I went in and told the Waitress I was there a little early. When everyone was there, I went up and ordered. Everyone employee was so nice. The BBQ & sides were delicious. The sweet tea was very good. Now that know exactly where they're located-I will be back soon for more great food and warm atmosphere. Thanks going out to the Owner and staff that served us.

The shredded pork was ok, it needed more flavor, maybe so you can eat with the sauces they have at the table. Service was fast. Good place to try if you don't have high cholesterol lol

Best BBQ in Jacksonville. Period…read more In my 6 week trip to Jax, I sought out some BBQ joints. Now, I'm no connoisseur, I am not from an elite BBQ region and I know that Jacksonville is not a BBQ go to area. But that said, I tried a few places in the region and 4 Rivers is the only spot I'd repeat visit. Service is friendly and prompt, and they were helpful with putting me on their best items. The brisket was moist, tender and flavorful. The ribs? To die for. Best I've had in Florida. The burnt ends are a combination of brisket and pork, which compliments one another nicely. I loved the beans! The corn was the only thing I found lacking, tasted too much like canned corn for my taste. Their nice seating area is big and welcoming and they have numerous sauces for you. We really enjoyed the blueberry bbq over by the fountain drinks. It went well with the ribs! Overall, must visit for Jax! Thanks guys! See you soon!

I ordered 4 Rivers for catering for the first time yesterday. The driver brought the food on time…read moreand in a hot box. He unloaded the trays and set them up for me. The food smelled amazing. People kept poking their heads in the room saying they could smell it when they got off the elevator. All of the food looked good. I made my own little food name cards to go in front so people knew what they were looking at. I do prefer when caterers provide those name cards. I will say that 4R did write what each thing was on the top of the lids, so I knew what it was prior to opening them. We got: salad, cornbread, pulled pork, Texas sausage, beef brisket, vegan burnt ends, mac and cheese, baked beans, and banana dream pudding. Salad looked good and came with all the toppings and 2 dressings. The cornbread looked and tasted amazing. 10/10 Everyone loved the pulled pork. By far the favorite. The Texas sausage smelled amazing. The beef brisket wasn't how I expected. The top layer looked fine, but the layers underneath were sitting in grease and looked to have a ton of fat on them. I've never had beef brisket before, so I'm unsure if that's normal. But to me, it didn't look good. The vegan burnt ends were so good. I actually questioned if it was actually meat (I don't eat pork anymore). I even had someone try it and only told them it was burnt ends and they didn't notice it wasn't meat. 10/10 Mac and cheese was good. Baked beans looked and smelled amazing. The banana dream pudding was 10/10 on appearance. Literally perfection; however, I tried it thinking it was regular banana pudding with extra toppings on it, but I was wrong. It almost had a lemony taste to it. I, personally, did not care for it and only had one bite. I went back and looked and it doesn't mention lemon, but it did not taste like regular banana pudding. There's something else in there, just not sure what it is. Overall, I would definitely order 4 Rivers again. They had excellent delivery, food had excellent presentation, and most of it was really good.

My family, the six of us, most who live very close, my wife and I, visiting from CA, made our usual visit to Woodpecker's during an "around Florida" vacation. We visited many spots of my youth between Jax & St. Petersburg while dining at old favorites and several BBQ joints along the way. Without a doubt, Woodpecker's Backyard Barbecue was the best by far. The last time we were there, the turkey stole a show as it was the best turkey I have ever eaten in a barbecue restaurant. This time the brisket was the number one meat, equalling or bypassing any I have had anywhere, even in the many Texas joints we have tried. It was right up there with Franklin's and other top Texas offerings. All of their meats were extremely good. Their sides are very interesting as well as good tasting utilizing a lot of dátil pepper to flavor several and add a little bite of spice. My only wish is that it was closer than the 2547 miles away that it is. If you are anywhere near woodpecker's backyard, barbecue, go. Go. Go. You will not regret it.

Today featured baked beans and three cheese mac and cheese, yes please! My order was served quickly and the owner was friendly. As soon as I was handed my food I was overwhelmed by the yummy aroma. When I came in the house my dog and doggy guests were super excited to see me, aka, they wanted my dinner lol! The brisket was tender and juicy with a nice smoky flavor. I also loved dipping in the Carolina style sauce. The baked beans were tangy and delicious with a little kick. And the mac and cheese was cheesy. My only complaint was I'm use to larger portions of meat. Although, I do understand meat prices have raised in the past year or so. I will absolutely stop by Backwood again so I can try a different protein. Thanks for serving our neighborhood!
