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.

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!!!

Great food, as always, but a little slow.
Had to break a $20 as my order was $10.01 and I was a penny short. Yeah really over a penny, I then thought man they on point with every cent and run a tight ship.
But then as I'm waiting on my order two customers later the guy was .40 cents short and the same lady was like oh let me get that out of the jar for ya...
I'm like really, .40 cent short and yall got it. Just an interesting observation. No biggie nor does it reflect on their great food, but a little on customer service I think.

The worst , we ordered 4 rib sandwichs and it was a quarter of a slab with four slices of bread on it with a bottle of sauce on it. We wanted pork and beef sandwichs and they had none. How can you be a BBQ place and run out of food. The service was rude. My first time there and i will never go back.

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.

Decided to go through the Drive Thru yesterday and orders a snack pack with ribs and two sides. The drive thru window operator was a mean older lady that had no customer service skills at all. I mean I get it you may hate your job but at least you got one. So as the lady is taking my order and payment because yes I was hungry and didn't feel like going to another restaurant for BBQ I notice another lady standing by an area next to an microwave near the drive thru window looking at me angry... I just smile and continue to wait on my food. I notice as I was waiting on my food that the lady standing next to the microwave was microwaving all the food that was being ordered by the customers. I pay too much money for microwaved food. The styrofoam container was melted as if it came out of the microwave. You will no longer be getting any more of my money. Your food is not fresh and your sauce was good now it tastes horrible.

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!

Awful awful once upon a time it was very good..... Prices going up and food going down down down....Especially the one on. New Kings Rd. Terrible
Caraus Williams
I enjoyed the food which I have received yesterday. However I have to say those guys need additional help in the kitchen. It was difficult for them to keep up with the orders which we presented. At the same time, I am glad that my order was correct.

Worst rib sandwich ever. Got it from Jenkins on kings rd. Never seen anything like this . More than half of it was burnt or dried out like beef jerky. No quality control there. If anybody knows someone at Jenkins forward this to them. Wont be spending my money up there anymore.

My favorite BBQ place the sauce is something special with the curly fries.

Employees made me really uneasy. I dropped by for a quick lunch but got the most unsettling experience I've ever had in a restaurant. Walked up to the counter ready to order and the three employees behind the counter ignored me. African American woman walks up to the counter and employees take her order immediately. After the young man finished taking her order he had no choice but to take my order as I was looking directly at him. Took my order for a simple pork sandwich, fries and a water. Another African American woman walks in and the same man took her order immediately. As I'm standing there he gets some take out orders ready, then finishes the order for the woman that came in after me. He then goes to work on another order and it goes to the second woman who walked in after me. They never spoke to me after taking my order, no apology for the 20 minute delay...nothing. Obviously I walked out knowing I will never step foot in a Jenkins BBQ again.
