I had amazing experience the food was amazing, I had the pulled pork and sandwich n my pops had the whole whiting fish he enjoyed. The customer service was great as well. They do have certain limited items on the menu such as like a turkey leg the shop has very nice decor and during a certain times of the day they will have sports on. I'm always willing to support a black own business, especially in the heart of Riverside. read more

First experience. Ordered take out. Two, two piece chicken meals with baked beans and slaw and two have rack rib meals with the same sides and two sides of fries. The meat comes already sauced and no more is needed. All tastes good. Fries are spiral and thin and tasty. Chicken softer and tender and rib meat was galling off the bone- perfect. There are a few tables inside. Nothing fancy but that is 109% ok! I have my eye on their loaded potato for my next visit. read more

For the cost, this was super disappointing. The brisket sandwich dinner combo was something that reminded me of a school lunch. The green beans were flavorless. The mac and cheese was overly so hard and crunchy and yet undercooked as well. For a huge bbq fan this place let me down hard. read more

I decided after reading the reviews that I wanted to Still support local. I've been trying to come by here for a while and today was a good day for me and 2 of my workmates, 2 of us ordered online, and the third one went with me to pick it up. There was a gentleman in the back Working to do the preparation of the food and a young girl at the counter. When they brought our food out, they presented it opened it up and asked if we liked it, I had ordered a chicken salad and the salad layout was nice. It had no tomatoes and onions like I had requested online. It had was cucumbers and croutons, and my barbecue chicken was on top. There was no salad dressing at the time which I statedcranvh on my online order notes so I figured it was coming in the bag. My other 2 friends ordered sandwiches and those look delicious and fine. Once we said Goodbye and we got back to the office. I had no salad dressing and a lot of lettuce but the chicken was good. I made the best of a situation. My experience did not leave me overwhelmed but again, I do like to support local usually.. read more

Ordered through uber eats on a Friday night, I ordered the brisket sandwich with 2 sides. Mac and cheese and potato salad, both were not good at all. My girlfriend ordered 2 ribs and a side of mac and cheese. She stated the ribs were unseasoned but somewhat tender and the mac and cheese tasted like dishwater... read more

Fresh food cooked daily !! Can get you a beer/ wine and watch the game and catch some vibes !!

The brisket was tender and full of flavor. Put that on top of the mac n cheese (employee's suggestion) and you have a great meal. The mac n cheese was smoky and not overly cheesy. read more

I wish I had more stars to give. Hands down the best barbeque I've ever had. Picture the best cookout from your childhood x2 and it wasn't this good. Prices are more than fair and the food quality is spectacular. If you haven't been you need to go ASAP. It sets the bar and is worth the drive. read more

Great pulled pork sandwich and beans! Pork was flavorful and not too fatty. Will be back to try the brisket.

The service was well enough and the young lady was friendly and knowledgeable. The issue was with the food itself. It took approx 20 minutes for our order to be completed but when received the meat(while delivious and sauced well)- my half chicken and his rib tips were barely warm. But the main area of improvement came with the sides order. I had the mac and cheese which was just okay and the baked beans that were tolerable but the green beans were no more than a poor from a can. I advised the lady that you can contract me out to make green beans for the establishment. My friend said the cole slaw was edible. I was also charged $10l.00 for two extra sauces that were filled maybe to 40% in each cup.i will return for thebmeet and just make my sides at home. read more

I visited this Restaurant today and I was highly disappointed. The establishment itself was very welcoming and had a really inviting feeling. The young lady at the counter was very customer-friendly, but I must say not very helpful when it came to ordering. The wait time was about 15 mins so that wasn't bad at all. Drum roll.... when I got to the counter to inspect the food the appearance of the food D-. The portion size was unbelievably small for the price. I ordered the chicken and rib sandwich with 3 bones and 2 pieces of chicken. The chicken looked like they found the smallest chicken on the yard and he had a deformity. It looked like a half of a thigh with a broken leg. (Seriously). The ribs were likewise and the color of the meat looked overcooked and dry. Surprisingly, however, when I tasted the food it was very flavorful and the meat was tender. My wife ordered the 5 bone rib sandwich and needless to say she was disappointed as well. The taste saved them but I will have to loosely give them a 1.5 out of a 5. This may have been a bad day for them but first impressions are crucial. I dont even wont to travel in that direction ever again. read more

I had a bit of a bumpy start when I placed my order. It cannot be placed through the Yelp app. Yelp refunded me and I called in my order. Food was so good! read more

This place makes all of five points smell amazing and the food doesn't disappoint. We got the chicken, pulled pork, brisket and wings. The wings were the star of she show and were cooked to perfection. Our table of six agreed they were probably the best we've had in Jacksonville. The service was excellent and we look forward to our next visit. read more

Ribs were ok. Chicken was so dry it was inedible. Potato salad was decent. Overall I was very disappointed.

Visited Holy Smoke Barbeque tonight for the first time and I was blown away. Honestly the best barbecue I've ever tasted! I had the pulled pork on a bun meal deal which included thick slices of perfectly smoked pork that was melt in your mouth tender with delicious crispy edges on a soft brioche bun. A duo of sauces were drizzled over the meat- one a tangy mustard based sauce and the other a slightly sweet red sauce with just enough heat. A perfect combination! The deal comes with a side and a drink. I chose the baked beans which were tender and swimming in a delicious lightly sweet sauce with chunks of the same delicious pork as was piled on my sandwich. The food was exceptional, the staff super friendly, and the vibe was on point with a great playlist and spotless interior. I even had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Marcus, who took time for a chat. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing out! read more

I've been coming for years. The new and current spot is nice, plenty of places to sit and eat under a canopy. The service is always friendly. The food now..let me tell you what! When you want tender, juicy bbq pork with the the best wood smoke flavor and some delicious sides, you're at the right place! The Brisket now is in a world of its own, so tender and flavorful with the perfect balance of fatty and lean meat. Their sauces ( mustard and sweet red) are excellent, I love them mixed on my pork or chicken. This Brisket needs no sauce. Ask for it on the side. read more

After going to the Jacksonville Arts Market we decided to try Holy Smokes BBQ in the nearby 5 Points neighborhood. I am so glad we did! I had the chicken and ribs dinner and my wife had the rib tips dinner. This is great BBQ - meat well smoked and moist and the sauce was perfect. Sides were great too - between us we had Mac & Cheese, Potato Salad and Cole Slaw. People working there were very friendly and helpful. Ambiance is not fancy - focus is on the food. Prices reasonable and portions big. We will definitely be back. read more

Holy Smoke is right! This is BBQ done RIGHT here in the south. And the food truck along with the actual smokers are currently located on the corner of Edgewood Ave. S and Mayflower St. in the parking lot adjacent to Town Beer Co. in Murray Hill. They've been in business for 7+ years. The owner is so down-to-earth and friendly. I had the opportunity to meet the owner at the 3rd Annual Taste of Murray Hill event and the pleasure of sampling his smoked chicken and smoked pork ribs. Believe me when I tell you that this man knows how to smoke some meat. It's that good... The pork ribs are fork tender and juicy with the perfect amount of smoke. This last time, I opted for the Barn Yard Pimp Chicken Dinner [$8.49] which included two pieces of smoked chicken and two sides of my choice. I decided on the baked beans and coleslaw, but cheesy mac n' cheese and homemade potato salad and other sides are available. The chicken was served on two pieces of white bread and dressed in a tangy Carolina style barbeque sauce. It was outstanding! You have the option to eat there on the tables provided or take it home. His versions of the ubiquitous condiment of the south [BBQ Sauce] are exceptionally paired with the meats and only compliment his Southern provisions. Ask for other sauces available when you make your order. Whether you're in the mood for smoked meat over salad, smoked beef brisket, smoked chicken, pulled pork, or a half or whole slab of smoked ribs, Holy Smoke Barbeque cooks up some damn delicious barbeque with all the tasty accoutrements. Great food at a very reasonable price! read more

I was set back $18 for lunch and I'm not even mad... The ribs were tender and the chicken was juicy. That combination of mustard and ketchup based sauce was on point! Only complaint I could make is the chicken was on the small side. Other than that I'll be back to give them another shot and try that potato salad. read more

Saw the Hit on the news today about this new store, decided to visit for lunch today. Portions are small for what you pay, had two chicken yard birds with sides. Flavor is good, portions are Small. baked beans need some work maybe some meat and Mac n cheese was hard. The chicken size was more like Cornish hen than Chicken. Wish they would give you garlic toast or cornbread rather than white bread. Would visit again, but portion Size is definitely a Factor. read more

Owner was very nice and cool dude. Got the Barnyard Pimp Chicken Dinner which was two pieces of chicken and choice of two sides. Chicken was tender, flavored, and with just the right amount of smoke. Slaw was good and so was the potato salad. Potato salad had a lil nice kick of heat to it. Hopefully I'll get to try some brisket next time. read more

Food: I ordered a brisket sandwich with no sauce and received it drenched in sauce. I overlooked the fact that it was drenched in sauce and was willing to give it a try but the brisket was overcooked, so much so that I could not eat it. Customer service: The lady working on the truck was rude to other patrons, so rude that one patron decided against placing an order because of it. My experience wasn't good but I'm sure someone will still patronize. Good luck!! read more

First time trying on July 4th. The meat was good, the sides were not. The lady working highly suggested the potato salad and it had a good flavor... until the jalapeno hit the back of my throat. Spicey potato salad?? Save your money on the macnchz, and the baked beans were... ok. I was a little disappointed with the portion. I ordered a whole slab. I assumed I was getting the WHOLE slab, ends included, but all of it fit in a regular sized styrofoam container. read more

There are TV Food Trucks and then there are REAL food trucks...beat on, worked in...the tools of a great cook. This is a real food truck. Juicy, tender brisket sandwiches...smoke pouring out of a couple smokers in a parking lot. Pull up a chair and order some ribs & a Heineken. You want scenery? Stare at the cars in the intersection or maybe the Mustard BBQ sauce running down your wife's chin. THAT is a scene! Great prices and a great chef. Go here. read more

Why does it seem that some of the best food is served from a Food Truck or Trailer?! Well @holysmokebarbq is no different! The Ribs are tender and juicy and the chicken was hot and fresh off the smoker. Went the the suggested Green Beans which were delicious and I opted for the Mac n Cheese, but due to it being at the end of the day wasn't the best, but I'll try it again another day. read more

Been here several times around noon to check out there "Turkey Leg Tuesday". Everytime the place is close so I wasted my lunch break driving out there. But all is not lost as Huey's Nashville Hot chicken is right across the street. Nonetheless do not make a special trip out to this closed establishment, I do not know why it is still listed on Yelp. Very misleading read more

Marcus is the best. We are from SC and so is he and he makes us feel at home. Best BBQ in Jax and in Florida. Fall off the bone ribs and chicken. Mouth watering Mac and cheese. Mmmmhmm. And southern hospitality to go with it. Remembering to bring cash is worth it. read more

How do I give 10 stars? I ordered my lady and I some jerk wings online this Tuesday but they only have wings on Thursdays. Tuesdays are for turkey legs she was told. So, she ended up picking up a turkey leg and their brisket sandwich. OMG, it was some of the best BBQ I have had in a long time. DEEEElicious. I never write reviews but I needed to write a review because this place deserves it. Even though we wanted wings they impressed us with their alternatives. We will be buying food here more often. Thank you Holy Smoke. read more

This bbq is finger lickin slap yo mamma good! And the owner is so cool, so glad this is in Murray hill!
