40 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Orange Park

“The food truck comes to our neighborhood every so often on Friday evening and we enjoy being able to have family dinner at the neighborhood center. Unfortunately, the quality of the food has gone downhill over the course of the year we have lived here. Tonight, I ordered the loaded Pulled Pork potato....the potato is just cut in half (not fluffed up) with pork and shredded cheese thrown in the middle. The potato is a brown/tan color and it is not even cooked completely- meaning I can not eat it. The entire thing is Luke warm at best....What a giant disappointment and a waste of $12. My kids got the nachos and they also were a disappointment . I really hope they get someone to work the truck that actually takes pride in the food they are serving.“

“Just had another amazing dinner with my son tonight at the Daytona Beach Location. This is the best location I have been too. Very clean store and the staff is amazing. Evelyn the manager was super nice n asked how the food was n was super polite. Definitely will recommend this location to all my friends n family.“

“We like to go on Friday night for the ribs. MICHAEL.Y. Was an awesome waiter. Very friendly and came back to the table several times to make sure we were taken care of Sonny’s ribs. Never disappoint.“

“Tremendous barbecue is always good food good vibes. Customer service is amazing. The location is good. Anytime I come to Jacksonville. I have to stop tremendous.“

“4 Rivers continues to deliver solid, comforting BBQ done right. The ribs were the standout for me—tender, smoky, and cooked just right with a great balance of bark and moisture. They pulled cleanly from the bone without falling apart, which is exactly how good ribs should be.

The baked beans were another highlight. They’re rich, slightly sweet, and loaded with flavor, making them more than just a side dish—they easily hold their own and pair perfectly with the ribs.

I also tried the Lenna Offering sampler, which is a fantastic option if you want variety or are visiting for the first time. It’s generous, well-balanced, and lets you sample multiple proteins and sides without feeling rushed or shorted. Great value for the portion size.

On top of the food, the staff was friendly and helpful, taking the time to explain the menu and make recommendations without being pushy. That kind of service really elevates the experience.

Overall, 4 Rivers is a reliable go-to for quality BBQ, whether you’re craving ribs, comfort-style sides, or just want an easy sampler that hits all the right notes. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Amazing quality BBQ together with a great ambiance and beer! Brisket was tender and falling apart and pulled pork was melting in my mouth. Top-notch collard greens and creamy Mac and Cheese. Best BBQ in town! 🐖“

“Did anybody notice the Sweet Little girl that worked at Woodys on Saturday, and Sunday. She is Jayna and Brittany's niece. Only been employed a few weeks and already keeping up with Chelsea, Marie, and Theresa. Really does a great job. Thomas Bobbitt“

“Fantastic Texas-style BBQ and the best you'll find here in JAX. I rate Franklin, Pecan Lodge, and Hard Eight at the top of my list, and Yellow Rose is a worthy substitute for this Native Texan.

Brisket 4.5/5 - great smoke flavor; they know what they're doing here.
Ribs 5/5 - perfectly cooked, not falling off the bone, Texas seasoned.
Jalapeno cheddar sausage 5/5 - the best you'll find anywhere.
Tex-Mex cornbread 4.5/5 - sweet and savory.
Charro beans 5/5 - wish they sold this by the pot.

I have to mention the service as well. You can tell they are proud of their restaurant and food and truly care about their customers. I can't wait to return.“

“Fantastic lunch spot! Every bite was perfectly seasoned and cooked.“

“Heather gives us the best service every time come, love her!“

“My family and I visited at about 7PM— so one hour before they closed— it was amazing! The service was fantastic, everyone was kind and hospitable. The food came out very quick and it was perfect. Pictured is the chopped brisket platter with green beans and a side salad. There was a lot of meat and the brisket was juicy. The green beans were very flavorful! My family ordered the chicken and sliced pork— all of the meat was juicy and flavorful. I highly recommend if you enjoy authentic barbecue!“

“They did a fantastic job catering for my daughter’s wedding. Serving approximately 250 people. Food was great!!!“

“My grandson and I visited and we really enjoyed the smoked wings - full of flavor. Rachel was very attentive and can't wait to come back!“

“My party of 4 ordered the Whole Hog for $48. You get 4 sides and the meats. It was weird getting 3 Ribs so one of us had to do without a rib. The presentation of the platter of meat for the Hog was sloppy. Our server Vic. S. Was very pleasant but had to ask her for drink refills and plates for the Whole Hog.“

“If I could they would get 10☆!!!! Purchased the rib and wing combo with the sweet heat sauce.... MAGNIFICENT! I didn't even make it in the door before my wife was eating wings out of my plate. Portion was enough to make me full and have enough for lunch the next day..... only complaint is..... I wanted more mac and cheese!!“

“Great customer service!!! April is an awesome waitress!!’“

“Everything original and made from scratch!! Awesome food with awesome service !!“

“My work brought it in catered. There was brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, coleslaw and beans. I read reviews prior to making my plate. I put a little of everything on my plate to try. Everything was good. Maybe not outstanding, but good. Although, the beans do taste like they're just Bush beans from a can.“

“Really good meat!!!!!!!’n“

“Awesome food. definitely worth it. Will be back!!“

“First time at this spot, fantastic service … we had two little ones, Kristen took care of us entirely. I don’t leave reviews often, it was review worthy. 10/10 experience, it’s hard to get out with our kiddos she made us feel welcomed, food came out fantastic and quick, loved it and we will be back!“

“While staying at the Wyndham Garden hotel, my friend and I went down to the red Gill bistro for an appetizer and a drink. Charlie, the bartender is awesome. He makes classic cocktails and has some signature cocktails of his own. I highly recommend it. In fact, we’re going there tonight. We went there last night and we went there the first night we came in.“

“"Authentic Korean food", our foreign exchange student from Korea said. Yummy too.😋“

“Love this place! We go five days a week for breakfast. They have amazing servers a wonderful owner and the food is perfect. Very fresh eggs homemade biscuits and I’ve never had service without a smile! By far my vote for the best breakfast in Jacksonville if you want a nice diner home-cooked meal feel! We have literally stopped going to other places for breakfast and only come here. Ask for Bailey I promise you won’t be disappointed.!“

“First time in the area and wanted some BBQ and found Bonos. They serve beer and wine, which was a delight to hear! What a delicious meal we had, The pulled pork sandwich was loaded with pulled pork. The ribs were fall off the bone. The variety of barbecue sauces on the table were spectacular. Truly enjoyed the decor and the signs in the restroom. Our waitress was amazing, she was very friendly, very nice and such a great personality she had. Didn’t catch her name but she had the pink hair.
You guys need to make a Smoked Deep Fried Rib!!!“

“The food is great 👍🏾 and clean and very tasty 😋 love ❤️ the food and will recommend others to go and try the food they will love ❤️ it“

“The Argyle location is awesome. I love the Hawaiian cuisine here!“

“The 45 minute wait for a table was worth it! The server, David, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. He made great recommendations. The warm bread was great, the chicken bites were out of this world, and the steak was to die for! I also got a strawberry margarita and it was delicious as well! If you're in the area, you need to dine here at least once!“

“The food was delicious, and Gabby was a terrific server. It was 45 deg, sun setting and air conditioning was on. Brrrrr, no, thank you. Prices have gone up 16 dollars for the LH burger, sides Mac n Cheese 5.99, and Cesar salad 5.99. Uh! Overall, the visit was good. Side note, your card gets run and precharged, the server brings back your slip, and then you add the tip that gets charged at the end of the servers shift. Supposedly, this practice has been going on for a while now as we were told by our server when we questioned it. Funny thing, though, I did not encounter this issue last week when I went out with friends, to the Grill, nor and when we went out for sushi on New Years. Does anyone else encounter this delayed tip charge practice? It's as if you don't leave a tip. Will they charge your card regardless??“

“For some reason it seems the food isn't as tasty it's just fast and processed until dinner time and your dining in the meal is more meaningful and flavorful always dine in if you want a good meal. Whatever they are quickly prepping in the back for Togo orders ain't it“
