Wow!! Everything we ate (and it was a lot!) was amazing. The birria tacos are the best I've ever had and we get them all over. The meat was so tender and juicy. I typically don't order brisket places because it can be tough and dry but dang was I impressed with the way it just fell apart. Even my kids were chowing down! If you are in the area don't miss out on this experience! read more

Yellow Rose BBQ - Devouring a rib - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

This review is encompassing my last visit on May 1st, 2026. I ordered a 2lb order of brisket along with a half rack of ribs. I expected the same mouthwatering quality of meat as the two previous visits. unfortunately, like so many other restaurants', there is no consistency in the way the meat is cooked. this particular order was well below what I expected. The brisket was a little too fatty, and over charred. My wife has been sick over a 24-hour period, unfortunately. The ribs were dry and chewy. I hope in the future the quality of the meats return to top notch food as before. read more

Good Texas style BBQ in JAX, FL! The closest thing to TX BBQ in the area. Even as an Aggie, I can appreciate the UT decor

This place is awesome. Super glad we found it. The tacos are otherworldly, they deserve awards. Wife and I had a bunch of different things on our first visit and we were fighting over who got to eat what. read more

Wife and daughter became very ill both exactly 48 hours after take out They agreed the taste was awful and threw the take out after a few bites. Wife ended up hospitalized Viral Gastroenteritis read more

Yellow Rose BBQ is by far the best that I've experienced so far in my 57 years of existence. It's simple and the food is worth the price. My only negative is the charro beans should not be a favorite. I frequently order food from here and am always pleased. read more

The pork was ok but the ribs, brisket, and sausage were great. Service was good and quick. It's a true Texas BBQ shack with walk up ordering. Nice music playing and nice outside area. Plan to go back soon. read more

We went for our first visit today. Staff were arguing with each other when I arrived. It was around 4:20 and they were slow. I picked up my to go order and when I got home and slightly under half of my pulled pork was all fat. However, the remaining pork was delicious, the mac & cheese was great and my husband loved their ribs! read more

Yellow Rose BBQ - Fatty pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Texas style as many folks know begins by being beef brisket as the primary protein staple... The truth is Yellow Rose does everything well. No need to take my word for it.. try it out for yourself.. east side of San Jose blvd in mandarin directly facing the street a short distance north of 295 there she is.. not a huge footprint of a space but gigantic flavor behind the glass front door.. Pro Tip: ask for a yellow rose. You'll be glad you did. Western cuisine. read more

Such delicious BBQ! I was blown away by how good it was. Tastes and feels like you're in Texas. Can't wait to go back for more

Met a friend today for lunch here, got there at 11 and we were the first customers. By the time we finished eating, the restaurant was full. I ordered the smoked wings (5) with bbq sauce for $7.50, small side of the elite macaroni salad for $4 and banana pudding for $5. The wings were big, juicy and delicious as was the Elote salad. I asked if the banana pudding was homemade and was told yes and wow, it was a joy to eat. My friend ordered the Birra tacos that came with fries and slaw (she had 2 choices for sides), her only complaint was the fries were too salty for her taste, but she ate them. We were both full after eating. Staff was friendly and very helpful and the ambiance was nice. We will come back. read more

Food was good, staff were friendly. I went on a Sunday afternoon so they had plenty of food, still. Smoke was all through out the inside of the restaurant. If you're planning on dining in then you may leave smelling like a smokehouse, hopefully they mitigate that. Their Mac and cheese is good, corn bread good, pull pork dry, sausage ok, ribs ok, elote pasta salad is no bueno, in my opinion. I asked for lean brisket and got fatty so that was disappointing, however, the brisket was good. Honestly, this Texas BBQ restaurant has its highlights and not so highlights. Overall I would return as take out only and I'll recommend to friends and family. read more

Tried it for the first time with my dad and sister. The people were so funny and nice and you can smell the food the second you walked in. We got the king of the hill and it was absolutely amazing. Shared it between the three of us and we all loved it. Definitely will come again when in the area. read more

The brisket is on point. I'd say it's the best in Jax. The sausage is wcrmade and delicious.

Tried this place Saturday for lunch. I got the bbq pork sandwich and a side of cabbage. Both were very good and the sauce was also top notch. I would rate this ahead of my normal bbq place (Mojo's). Luckily I live nearby so "I'll be back"... often. read more

The food here is amazing! My husband is from Texas and has been searching for the closest thing he can find to bring him home without going there. We happened to drive by this place one day and decided to look into them and what they have to offer. Oh my, I'm glad we did. First the food is amazing. It's always plentiful, flavorful, and as soon as you walk through the door you know just by the smell it'll be good. The brisket is tender, the pulled pork is juicy, the ribs fall off the bone tender. The Mac n Cheese is flavorful and creamy, the elote pasta, my husband loves to death. Let's also not forget how sweet everyone is there. They all treated us so sweetly and kind it felt like I was very welcomed there. If you don't know what to get and have some money to spend we get the Bevo platter if available so we can try a little bit of everything and have more to go home with. I highly recommend this place. It is by far better than any of the other BBQ places around Jacksonville. read more

Let me tell yall. If I could give 10 stars I would... absolutely amazing everything I've had 30/10 10/10 doesn't do this place justice. I work at a restaurant nearby and leave my restaurant to get there by 8 before they close... I've had everything except the chicken wings so far and Lordy let me tell you !! They call it a Rosebud and I could literally have them on deck. Ate one today at the restaurant and it's 9:42 and wishing I had a second one. read more

Fun spot near union square with great food. I hear they have good chips. Iykyk. The donuts at brunch are also delicious.

So good. I love having legit BBQ restaurant in town. So sick of the chains that send everything out cold. Got the food quick and it was so nice sitting outside. We need more restaurants like this that don't run your pockets for quality food. read more

If you go too fast, you'll pass by it! But when you go in, the smell of brisket hits you! The staff are nice. The brisket is AMAZING, and the ribs are good. The macaroni and cheese wasn't good at all. Perhaps leaving the spices out would help. The place seemed small, but as good as the BBQ was, my husband and I didn't care! We will be making many trips back here! read more

The brisket was delicious, but the portion seemed small for the price. The macaroni and cheese would have been good but it was barely room temperature. The fries were good, well seasoned and hot, but the catchup packets were a turn off, too much work opening them. read more

This was my first time, you order your food at the counter & they call out your number. The girl who took the order was very nice and helpful. When they called my order number, I went to get it and the girl with long straight dyed black hair snatched the tray from my hand screaming at me and said I don't want you take the tray this is the only one we have! I was shocked and speechless. She was extremely rude and prejudiced. The sandwich was very greasy, soaked and dripping grease for $14. I noticed the area that looked like a bar next to sauces had a small sink that was full of dirty pots, pans, utensils, and around the corner top, also there were boxes on the floor too. The restaurant was very dirty and nasty. No ventilation system, even though I sat outside, just for a few minutes that I ordered my sandwich I came home smelling like greasy kitchen. No I will never return again. OMG I just saw the other reviews I believe she's the owner or relative of the restaurant, she's been rude to other customers too. read more

Always looking for legit BBQ and have have been following this place on insta waiting for it to open. We tried it out today and it did not disappoint. Had the Hill Country Trinity (brisket, ribs, sausage) with charro beans, Mac&cheese, and cabbage. All the meat was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Nice thick slices of brisket done right. Mac&cheese was thick and creamy. The beans had slices of sausage and pulled meat in them. They were really good and could've almost been a meal by themselves. Cabbage was definitely our favorite. The service was on point and attentive. This is legit BBQ and we'll absolutely be eating here again. read more

Real Texas BBQ. Once you walk in you feel like you are in Austin. Great Texas vibe. The brisket stuffed jalapeno popper is so good and could almost be a meal, but you don't want to miss out on their brisket. It is tender, juicy, smoky and delicious. I only did take out, but will be back soon to try all their other dishes. Best BBQ I have had in Jacksonville, and I am from Texas and know good BBQ. It is good ya'll. read more

Ordered the pitmaster platter on a game day Sunday and it didn't disappoint at all. Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, potato salad, cornbread, and Mac and cheese included. Enough food for me, my wife, and toddler with some left over. Also ordered two extra ribs. Meet was flavorful and tender. This place will definitely compete with any bbq spot around. They seemed a little understaffed as the line was growing towards the door, but we didn't wait long. I can see this place outgrowing their location soon though, insides a bit small. read more

Wow, had the 3-meat platter, was able to make 3 meals from it! The homemade sides, potato salad and Cole slaw are wonderful. The ribs were cooked perfectly, ordered the fatty brisket and OMG just perfect and the Jalapeno Sausage very flavorful. Enjoyed it so much, will order this for an event being held at work. Their mustard sauce if one of the best and the original is great also. read more

Andrew and his crew are doing an amazing job. Go see these guys. The brisket was so soft and tender and quite tasty and the ribs were the perfect texture that I like. I don't want it falling off the bone but I also don't want it tough and these were really really good. My wife had the brisket tacos and yes I snuck in a bite and they two were excellent. It's a great vibe in this store and you can tell everyone on staff is working hard to keep customers happy. I look forward to seeing them again. read more

Yellow Rose BBQ - Ribs and brisket combo with mac and cheese and BBQ beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Omg!!!? This place is definitely TexMex authentic!! Born and raised in Tx and decided to check this place out. Hands down now my favorite BBQ SPOT! If you know Tx Bbq. They had it down to the fresh loaf of white bread. Forget the Tx toast. In Tx it's all about the white bread!!! Thanks for taking me back!!! I will definitely be coming back again and again and again!!! read more

It's great BBQ. Highest recommendation!!! We had the Ribs, brisket and sausage. A must try is the yellow rose bud. A bacon wrapped jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese and brisket. read more

Best BBQ in Jacksonville. My husband brought home a variety of meats and sides. The meats were delicious with a nice Smokey flavor and seasoned well. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Churro beans were outstanding. We can't wait to go back. This is a must try place:) read more

Went to the Yellow Rose on Saturday the Aug 30 th for our first visit. Restaurant kind of packed, and had to sit outside during moderate humidity. First thing I noticed is 4 wall fans off, and I asked server about turning them on. She laughed and said they have never worked, which I think a member of management should take for an action item. Received our food from server and noticed BBQ sauce options are only in one area of restaurant which seems silly. Probably should have at-least 4 full sets located in various spots. Tasted food and found brisket to be tasty. Fries were hot and flavorfully. Tried BBQ beans and found them to be terrible. Needs some brown sugar and a little bit of sweet sauce in the recipe. Beans tasted like they were poured from a can and just heated up. Over all window glasses were dirty and restaurant not very clean. Maybe try looking at areas in a different view as place needs upgrades. read more

When i went the store had just opened with limited menu items. It wasnt bad and what i bought tasted fine

The bbq was good but considering what it cost and eating with plastic utensils was not what I expected.

Brisket was exceptional, I normally am not a fan of fat. This was a new experience for me, it melted in my mouth like ice cream but warm buttery goodness! Green beans were great, sautéed cabbage was a little bland. Price is a little more than I like but I get some brisket without paying $80 to make my own. read more

Quite possibly the best BBQ I've ever had. Seriously, the Birria tacos have officially made it to my "last meal on death row" list. The brisket, sausage, pulled pork, beans, tex-mex corn bread, potato salad, house made sauce, cucumber tomato salad, fries...ALL amazing. Great service and atmosphere. Will be back ASAP! read more

Food is some of the best BBQ I have ever had, the wings are the best and the ribs fall off the bone. Great for catering large groups too! Highly recommend!! read more

Incredible!!! Best BBQ in North Florida! Staff is so great! Support this amazing restaurant

Top notch barbecue for very reasonable prices! The ribs and burnt ends were so tender and full of flavor. Great service from the staff who were quick to accommodate for our rambunctious little ones. I'd highly recommend this restaurant for anybody looking for authentic barbecue. And oh yea, you must must try to Birria tacos! Out of this world read more

The ribs were fantastic- fall off the bone tender and great flavor. The service was very friendly. The price for the ribs was, in my opinion, on the high side- about $15 plus tip for three bones - although 5 bones was $20 and a full rack $38. The only negative is I noticed several flies in the dining area - which gross me out. I know it's summer and hard to control flies but suggest maybe they invest in an air blower at the entrance to keep them out. Definitely suggest you give this place a try. read more

Not a good value for the money. the 30.00 platter consist of 2 ribs, 2 slices of brisket and a sausage. The meat was good, however the sides is what they seemed to give a large portion of for the meal. The Mac and cheese was extremely dry and not real flavorful. The pinto beans were okay but not great and the cucumber salad was good. Was really hoping we found a great bbq place to frequent but that isn't the case here. They also charge you a service fee for a using a debit card which is forbidden by both federal laws and card network rules. read more
