TL/DR: The BEST BBQ chicken in Jacksonville. Pink truck, family-owned, absolutely worth it. Get…read morethere early because they sell out! -- It's off University Blvd, look for the pink truck and the smoker! Hands down, they have the BEST smoked BBQ chicken I have tried in Jax. You can fight me on that, but if you haven't tried their food yet, I'm not listening to you. The fact that it's family owned and operated makes it even better. The husband and wife who run it are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet. They've been serving up mouthwatering BBQ for over 20 years, and it shows in every bite. They also offer catering orders for large parties. I love supporting local, family-owned businesses, and this is one you NEED to add to your list. A word of advice: They do sell out -- so if you have your heart set on something specific, plan to get there early. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you check them out!

It was not hot, so I heated it up and it tasted better. I did not eat my bread. They are located very close to Jacksonville University(JU)on University Blvd-corner lot. Look for the pink trailer. Nice people. The city is giving them some "heat". I pray to God the city decides to let them stay on their land that they purchased 8 years ago. They used to be on Arlington Road. So, please support them-when you're in the area. Pros: great food Cons: they were very busy on this Memorial Day weekend. His wife was not there today. Recommend: always

Obviously, it's not a five star dine in restaurant but I did expect a little bit more flavor sense…read moreI am from up north and this is down south. It wasn't horrible or anything I just expected more. I got the chicken and catfish plate. The only thing flavorful about the chicken was the crack seasoning and there was not really any flavor on the catfish. But they do have good deals. It did take me a while to get my food and I don't believe it was that many people in front of me, but the food was piping hot so they were probably making everything fresh. The last thing I would say is I recommend going to this place while the sun is up. It's not in a bad area but a couple of rowdy customers come in every now and again.

Monroe's On-The-Go Food Truck is on-site at Metro Square Office Park every Tuesday from 11AM to…read more2PM. It may be Taco Tuesday for many, but it sure is Barbecue Tuesday for me! They have Pulled Pork, Carolina Pork, Beef Brisket, Turkey, Chicken, Ribs, and jumbo wings. You want salad? They have that too. My favorite is the ribs. Fall off the bone goodness! I also like the Carolina Pork. I love the vinegary-flavor to it. Add collard greens and corn bread soufflé to the mix and I have a complete lunch platter. Also comes with a couple of toasts. Awesome service as always! Monroe's uses Facebook and Twitter in providing advance notice on when and where the food truck will be setting up.

Menu is a giant (chirp) tv on the wall with some kinda steep prices and a little confusing add ons (chirp). Orders are taken by kiosk, I mean the girl behind (chirp) the counter was nice enough, but even asking for tips (chirp) when you don't even take the order? $35 later we finished with the kiosk (chirp) and the $3 add on small fountain sodas (chirp), a bit much I was thinking but let's see how the food is (chirp) trying to give them a chance and all. Got the chicken nuggets (chirp) and onion rings, which were pretty good, but you can tell everything is fried in the same grease (chirp). Toast was literally two pieces of wonder bread (chirp) that the kitchen staff walked past with the butter.... Could not tell (chirp) that it was even really toasted or just day old. Caesar salad was small (chirp) but pretty good, (chirp). Music was (chirp) good modern country but that (chirp) smoke detector was out of control. Sorry, three pity stars, will probably not visit again. (Chirp)

The meat was incredibly tender, perfectly seasoned, and had that deep, authentic smoky flavor that you can only get from a true master of the smoker. Beyond the amazing food, the service is always lightning-fast, and the team running it is super friendly and welcoming. They are just a great company all around that genuinely cares about their food and their customers. I look forward to them coming back every single time, and I highly recommend keeping an eye out for them--you will not be disappointed!

Placed an order for some BBQ. This little shop is located next to Wendy's so it's best to park on…read morethe side of Wendy's close to this place. The owner of Oh So Heavenly BBQ and Soul Food stated that they have been here for six years. We were missing out this whole time. We ordered a 2-meat dinner combo, ribs and chopped pork with sides of their collard greens and baked beans. Big fall off the bone goodness! I prefer pulled pork, but the chopped pork was pretty good too. We also ordered the half chicken sandwich. More like an open face, but the chicken was the rotisserie kind. I was a little disappointed because I was expecting barbecue chicken. Good sauces! Dipped that rotisserie chicken and it's like barbecue. Plenty of food for little price. You can get a chicken sandwich with chips and a drink for $3.99. Good deal!

I ordered at the window, parked behind another car, and waited about 15 minutes for my food. I received two pieces of ribs, a chicken thigh, and a drumstick. The collard greens were too salty, and so were the ribs. The mac and cheese was okay.

We indulged in a feast that included perfectly crispy chicken wings, seasoned crinkle fries, a generous serving of 20 succulent shrimp, flavorful gizzards, and a delightful slice of red velvet cake. The chicken wings were whole and cooked to perfection, boasting a satisfying light crisp and rich flavor. The shrimp mirrored this quality with their crispy exterior, while the fries provided a well-seasoned crispiness that complemented the meal beautifully. The gizzards were fried to a dark golden crisp and packed with taste, and the red velvet cake was a sweet, indulgent finish to a fantastic dining experience. The staff and service were fast and friendly, creating an inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The interior is clean and casual, with an easy-to-read menu that caters to all tastes. Photos of their delicious dishes adorn the walls, enticing diners both inside and outside the restaurant. They also serve seafood, wings, subs, salads and desserts. Conveniently located at the old Church's Chicken on Merrill Rd, this spot is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious meal.
