Had an enormous rib sandwich with sweet sauce. I was not dissappointed. Great ribs, sauce is on point, and the customer service was quick and friendly. Will definitely stop back by when in Jax.
PSA: always check ya food order before departing from ANY food establishment...no one is perfect! However MY visit last week on Wednesday resulted in PERFECT customer service from Ms. Nita. She handled the health inspector who arrived unknowingly, a disgruntled customer, and my 3year old son with grace and great customer service. And my food was DELICIOUS....and well prepared. Just what I needed at the end of a difficult morning!
Please turn the air on! Omg, it was 800 degrees in there! Food was good.....ribs a little tough. I could swim in that sauce it's so good!
Maaaaaaaaan! When I tell you to find a BBQ place open after 9pm is a never! It's a never! But Jenkins got it! My ribs & chicken meal with baked beans and potato salad was yummy. I got the hot 🔥. Be prepared cause I ordered my sauce hot. And it did not disappoint. But not so hot that you can't enjoy your ribs. The chicken is actually cooked really well. I was surprised. Wish the sides were served in bigger containers and had a few more options like cornbread, or collard greens or Mac n cheese. The sides were cool but the ribs and chicken was the real deal. The Lady who served me was cool, and very hospitable. Liked that. It was my first time and I'm not trying to be rushed. I even like that their menu is off to the side for decision making, it's really simple and not overdone with too many items it confuses patrons. Overall, I come back to Jacksonville, I'll need to hit this spot again!
Jenkins quality BBQ establishment is a wonderful black owned establishment. The food was great and always has been every time I've been. This has been decades of great quality barbecue with a sauce to die for. I actually purchased two bottles of their Jenkins barbecue sauce. Prices are great for what you're receiving. Customer service is magnificent. When it comes to some southern barbecue, Jenkins quality BBQ is the place to be. A hood famous establishment.
In town for work and found this place via Google. Glad I did. Ribs and chicken are fantastic!!! Hot and fresh food. Friendly folks! Go getcha some!!
Haven't been to Jenkins in so long!! The line was wrapped around the building but we waited and the only thing that I was able to get a picture of was the fries! Chicken got smashed!!!
