I have been going to Tom Jenkins since 2013. This was the first time I was disappointed in the food. I ordered a half a slab meal with mac & cheese, collard greens and an extra corn muffin and sweet tea once I arrived home and tasted the ribs they had a funny aftertaste to them And they were dry and I was very disappointed. Tried calling the restaurant to let them know, was hung up on twice and then the line was busy, the sides. macaroni and cheese was fine. The sweet tea was fine and the collard greens were OK. I am very much disappointed I rave about Tom Jenkins barbecue all the time and as I stated before I have never had an issue with them, but today was something different. Don’t know what’s going on, but you guys need to fix it. Keep in mind, I traveled from Margate to Tom Jenkins only to be disappointed. Stick a fork in me because I’m done.!

Tom Jenkins is a household name and undoubtedly has the best BBQ ribs, sandwiches, and BBQ chicken in South Florida.
You will love their fresh, down-home sides like: baked beans, potato salad, and collard greens.
It's a very small restaurant with a rustic, woodsy feel. Seating inside the restaurant is very limited with about 7-8 picnic style tables, so take out is ideal.
There may be a slight wait during peak busy times but it's definitely worth it. Best BBQ and sides hands down! 💯

Decided to have lunch and a take home dinner and dessert with a bill of $66 the food isn't even average. Got a chopped beef sandwich and the chopped beef wash the size of large ice cubes, asked for a lemonade drink refill and was told l'd have to pay another $4.25. My original drink purchase was an Arnold Palmer so not sure why I need to pay $4.25 for just a lemonade refill. Peach cobbler was burnt and while eating there we had to return both cornbread muffins as they were rocked hard. We were given another one but nothing had changed so we just tossed them. Young lady working the counter was very nice.

Horrible service the staff will give you attitude and over prices not and goes without mentioning it looks dirty. I left

The Pork Spare ribs are the ribs you should order, their barbecue sauce is one of the best bbq sauce I have ever had with a nice spicy kick at the end. Sides are not the highlight of this place , I would just order the “meats only” option.

Brisket is not brisket. Like a boiled meat. Brisket sandwich is not a brisket sandwich Fountain pop is very low quality They serve food in ugly plastic containers even for dine in. Prices don't correspond to the quality. I would not return here.

I really hate to do this because the experience with ordering the food wasn’t bad but it was what happened after. I placed a phone order for pickup and paid over the phone as well. When I arrived - it was ready for pickup and I thought wow what a seamless experience with no wait! It wasn’t until I get home (45min away) where I realize that they didn’t give me half my order! I was missing 2 racks of ribs, most of my sides, and still paid full price for it. I call and ask how we can remedy this situation and they said “They aren’t able to refund my credit card. I can drive an hour plus back to get a jumbo rack of ribs or they can give me the refund in cash” at this point it’s a sunken cost but leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I was hopeful for a better experience.

Tom Jenkins BBQ is an absolute dream for any BBQ lover! From the moment you open the door, you're greeted by the delicious smell of smoky meats and spicy marinades - a taste of what's to come.
The food? Simply phenomenal! The ribs are cooked to perfection – tender, juicy and with a smoky crust that melts in your mouth. The BBQ sauce is in a class of its own: spicy, slightly sweet and just right to complement the meat. The side dishes can't be beat either - we particularly liked the mac and cheese and the collard greens. Everything tastes homemade and prepared with love.
The service is quick and warm. You immediately feel welcome and the staff make you feel at home. The ambience is also perfect – rustic, cozy and authentic, exactly what you want from a real BBQ restaurant.
Tom Jenkins BBQ isn't just a restaurant, it's an experience! If you're looking for real, traditional BBQ, you'll get your money's worth here. We can't wait to come back!
I got recommended this place saying it’s the best in south Florida. Far from it brisket dry no flavor at all. Ribs had an off taste. The water and fries were good. But I will stick to 4 rivers

The beef brisket was delicious! Tender and tasty. The barbecue sauce has a nice little kick to it. Would definitely be back.
