Mojo Bar-B-Que

I had the pull pork which was good. The sauce was great. The collard greens were okay; not well seasoned.

Amazing brisket! It was gone before I could take a picture! I am def coming back here! I also ordered the mashed up sweet potatoes. I highly recommend it!!!

I don’t know if my son was craving barbecue before he was born or what but we visited mojo’s at the end of my pregnancy and everyday after that I craved their delicious barbecue. We were in town for a football game and looking to try something new so we hit up this location. We started off with the burnt ends and the rest is history. I still have yet to find burnt ends that live up to these. The rest of the food was good but they were the star… if I could have had endless burnt ends bowls I would have been set! Even my husband who is a barbecue snob loved it here– so much so that we had to visit the St Augustine location when we visited there! Can’t wait for our next trip to Northeast Florida for this place!!!

Great BBQ. Love the flavors and the sauces. Great wood smoke smell as you walk up the place.
Last time there, the group of 4 split the Whole Hawg! A nice sampler of different meats and 4 sides. Everyone walks away full and happy!

Favorite BBQ in Jacksonville. One of the few places that dies good brisket and the sides are excellent. Really enjoy the fried pickles as well as the black eyed peas. Can be loud when it’s busy, perfect to go early.

This restaurant is definitely the most expensive bbq joint I’ve ever been. The food quality is very good the service was good it’s just very expensive and portion size is very small at least for the brisket.

Almost every time is it excellent. Sometimes it’s dry but I love the Onion rangs and the burnt ends. The wings are excellent if they are not dried up. It is too loud normally and hard to talk when a group. Chicken fried chicken kicks but.

Eaten here about 10 times. Never had a bad experience, but the BBQ is clearly in the solid 3-​star range. Brisket is dry, sides are underwhelming. Portions are not particularly generous. Service can be hit or miss. Prices aren’t cheap given the portions, quality, service, and ambiance. Awkward spacing, poor lighting, TGI Friday’s type of décor consisting of old tin signs.

This was my first time here and it will not be my last. Food was prepared to perfection.
Banana Pudding is must try.

I normally don’t write reviews but I had such a good sliced brisket sandwich I had to give it 4 stars… also, the spicy BBQ sauce had great consistency and flavor. I took my meal to-​go so I can’t speak on their service but my order was ready when I arrived which is all I require. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for brisket done right.

This is the original Mojo Barbecue location and still keeps true to the BBQ, despite what some «elite» tagged reviewers may experience, as a regular since opening in March of 2003, I have experienced the best and worst growing pains, and they are still holding it down here, even with the occasional slip. Beef brisket, pulled pork, and the buttermilk fried chicken with white sawmill style gravy are my go to dishes. The macaroni and cheese still rivals my other favorite BBQ joints around town. Onion rings are probably the best in town, the collards are kicked up just right, and all of their sides have their strengths.
When their kitchen is on their A game, this joint is 5 star good. The noise factor is an issue for some people, but it just adds to the atmosphere with the classic blues music piped in while you chow down. Seriously, try this place out, it’s among my top 3 joints in town, and hits close to being number 1 more often than not.

This seems to be a knock off from Mojo #4 Whiskey Bar & Grill. I say that because a few years back the signage was different and the food was great! I was skeptical because the sign on the building didn’t look like the trademark Mojo #4 signage. I went in anyway because I had a hardcore craving BBQ.
The food wasn’t bad, and nor was it great. It was bbq alright but it just didn’t taste like what I was used too. There are far too many amazing bbq restaurants around to go back here. Especially with the service that I was given.

BowLegz closing early on Sunday may have been a sign. BBQ fix needed fixin and found MOJO. Ordered whole hawg sample box — got a good bit of the menu so know what to get next time. Ribs — good tasty and meaty, chicken was excellent dark and white ¼’s were both moist — dark had bit more flavor I thought. Skipped turkey and got extra sausage — good choice– nice snap not greasy oily or dry and nice spicy kick not overpowering. Pulled pork was really good also and the only thing in box that really needed saucing — NC vinegar did fine. Only disappoint was brisket — bit too lean and dry side for me but still tasted good. Sides were above average — sweet potato scuffle really liked and the greens also.

Came here a few times for lunch, never disappointed. All homemade sides and slow cooked meats. Cant go wrong with the potato salad and Mac n cheese. Can’t wait for the one in Gainesville to open!

Unilocal reviews had me drooling for some of those Kansas City Burnt Ends. I love brisket, and what could be better than «crusty outer edges of beef brisket?» I started my trip home a little early so that I would have time try them before hopping on a plane back to Memphis. I was not disappointed. They were meaty chunks of burnt goodness. Despite being «burnt» they were not dry at all. In fact, they were quite fatty and moist. I loved those ends… after I devoured the first order, I seriously considered getting a second order to take home with me. I didn’t… I should have.

An update to my last review —
After posting my last review of Mojo’s, I did receive a personal message from the Dir of Ops, apologizing for the experience I had and offered to make it right. And after I replied, they sent me a couple of gift certificates. So while the initial experience itself wasn’t great, in the end, they did do right on replacing the cost of the meal.

I really love MoJo bbq, we come here and always start with the wings appetizer, they are first smoked, rotisserie style, then flash fried, no sauce and they are so good! Then I really like the brisket also it is delish, not too fatty with alot of flavor. They have a smoked corn side that is good also.

Lunch time with my friend Jimmy P. I am having North Carolina Pork with mash potatoes with gravy and green beans.
Pork: is good, never tried this style before, is a little spicy. Comes with a cabbage dip, very tasty.
Mash potatoes: one of the best in town. Simply delicious.
Green beans: perfectly cooked with this tasty smoked flavor.
Overall, completely satisfied.
The best: the mash potatoes. The service was fast despite many customers.
The missing: TVs and better illumination. If you like to watch tv while you eat, or do not like dark places, this place might not be for you.

My first and it will not be my last. The barbecue is awesome here. I really like it.
I ordered the two-​meat combo and picked the beef brisket and North Carolina pork. Their beef brisket was so tender and moist. You only need a fork to slice through the meat and with ease. The North Carolina pork is exactly how I remembered Carolina bbq, vinegary flavor. The taste was perfect.
For the sides, I paired the meats with collard greens and green beans. They looked and tasted fresh.
Fast service too. We ordered our food and devoured them within thirty minutes. That’s nice especially if you’re on an hour lunch break limit. The place gets packed quickly. I would recommend getting there a little early to avoid the rush. It wasn’t that bad yet when we pulled in at 11:40 AM.

Excellent BBQ. Everything is smoky… even the ranch dressing. Had the pulled pork and chicken. Moist, tender and flavorful. Service was great. The house sauce isn’t bad but the chipotle sauce is full of flavor with a nice kick.
The blues atmosphere is a nice touch to go along with the great food.
