I ordered the three (3) bone rib sandwich, coleslaw, and a holy punch. The food looked delicious. The ribs were tender but a tad bit salty. The holy punch was so sweet, I literally mixed almost an entire bottle of water into the cup. As black folk, we have to be mindful of our salt and sugar intake. Lawd, I sound like an old person. 😂
The smell going into the restroom is stomach turning. It smells like mold for sure! The restaurant smelled fine but they need to talk to the owner about that restroom area.
I’m down to give them another shot. Next time I’ll try the brisket.

If I could give zero stars I would. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a while and tonight I attempted. I placed an order online to get a phone call to tell me they had no more chicken. As I’m driving there, they want me to go on an app to cancel my order. I told them that is too much to do as I am driving. Can we just change the type of meat I was going to get. They told me I could get brisket since there wouldn’t be much in a difference in price. I drove 30 minutes to pick my food up and as I’m walking in the girl tells me that she refunded the money. Then tells me I can order something if I would like. Isn’t that what we did on the phone before I drove 30 minutes?

Stopped by this evening to grab some dinner and Toya helped us! She was helpful and polite. They were out of ribs and rib tips also baked potatoes so we ordered the brisket sandwich meal. I had the potato salad and my husband has the green beans. It was very good! Definitely recommend trying them out
If you really want delicious BBQ, this is gonna be the spot for it! I dont think ill be eating at any other BBQ joint. The staff are so friendly and inviting. Don't pass this place up!

Coming from North Georgia this is the best authentic BBQ I've had in a long time. Mac n cheese was on point and like a casserole, green beans seasoned to perfection and the collards tasted like my Mama's. The combination of the gold and red sauce set the meat off and I couldn't of asked for anything better. The smell of the restaurant drew me there unintentionally and I'm going to come back at least once a week after moving to the area and finding my new home restaurant.

Holy Smoke Barbecue absolutely lives up to its name! The ribs here are hands-down the best in Jacksonville — perfectly smoked, fall-off-the-bone tender, and bursting with flavor in every bite. You can tell they take real pride in their craft because the seasoning and smoke balance are spot on.
The staff and owner make the experience even better. Everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make sure you’re enjoying your meal. It’s that kind of Southern hospitality that makes you want to come back again and again.
If you’re a true barbecue lover, don’t even think twice — Holy Smoke Barbecue is a must-try!

Tried to call in a takeout order for meats only without sides. Rather than simply taking the order, I guess they find it easier to tell me how to manipulate the online ordering system which is a complete waste of time. There was also no turkey legs which was the main reason for the call. I will skip this place.
Response to owner: first of all I said take out not delivery. You should read more carefully. Secondly, the order was being placed at midday so I don't know how much quicker you can be to get a turkey leg unless you want smoked meat for breakfast. Pay attention to your customer interactions before responding.
