    Don't let the smallness or the appearance of this place persuade you not to try.. they have delicious food! Definitely worth trying! We had the BBQ "pork"nachos .. they were out of pork and let us know, but they offered a substitute of shredded chicken.. so yummy! Super glad we tried it! The service was excellent as well. Sitting on the river makes this place a hidden gem!

    Five stars for opening Oct 2020 when many businesses were struggling; for the GORGEOUS view of the Alafia river; for FRIENDLY service; for EXCELLENT barbecue; & for my favorite-- collards! Closed Mondays, hours are Tues thru Thurs 11 AM till 9 PM; Fri & Sat 11 AM till 10 PM; & Sun from 11 AM till 9 PM. I almost turned around trying to get to this one-year-old business. I was directed thru a residential area complete w/ a narrow roadway & speed bumps. Surely, my GPS must be incorrect, I thought. I am SO HAPPY I trekked onward to arrive at the little white & gray wooden building nestled up to the BEAUTIFUL river. The large wooden deck w/ its umbrella-clad tables was so INVITING-- perfect for groups! Unfortunately, no canines are allowed, & there's no beer & wine. (Some beer on the menu might add handsomely to the ambiance.) If it's Barbecue you seek, this is the place to come! Hickory Wood is used to help create the phenomenal flavors. The laminated two-sided menu offers an array of popular foods. (There's also a breakfast menu.) The owner's daughter recommended the wings & the loaded BLT-- see another patron's pic of the massive sandwich! I opted for Smoked Wings ($8.99) & Smoked Pulled Pork ($9.99) w/ a side of flavorful Collards. The meats were OUTSTANDING-- smoked PERFECTLY. And the Texas Toast, that accompanied my pulled pork, was packed w/ flavor. I will DEFINITELY return to try the BLT & a handful of other menu listings that sound DE*LIC*IOUS! Other OFFERINGS (see menu pics) that caught my eye: Smoked Brisket; Smoked Saugage; Smoked Pork Ribs; Pulled Pork Nachos; Baked Mac & Cheese; Crab Legs; Crab Cakes; 12" Cheese Pizza; Jalapeño Poppers; Tater Tots; Corn Fritters; Bang Bang Shrimp; Blackened Shrimp; Southern Fried Chicken; Pork Tenderloin; BLT; Black & Bleu Burger; Mushroom Swiss Burger; & a Veggie Burger, etc. Available are three kids's meals, which include a Corn Dog, Hotdog, & Grilled Cheese-- all served w/ French Fries. ALL SAUCES ARE MADE ON SITE. There are just two beverages on the menu, which include one free refill: sweetened & unsweetened iced tea. (When my kids were young, they'd never drink either, so that may be a consideration should you have children in tow.) No desserts grace the menu @ the present time. SUNDAY BREAKFAST is served 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Today's breakfast menu consisted of six entrees; two sides; coffee, tea; & orange juice. Catering requests should be made two weeks in advance. Will I return? You bet cha, I will! Jimmy Jo's, "You had me at Hello" w/ the Collards. And you'll get me back w/ the barbeque; the appealing & varied menu; the sunshine; & the views of the river. Is next weekend too soon for Brisket; Pulled Pork Nachos; a BLT; & a Black & Bleu Burger??? Lol :)

    Had the smoked wings with spicy bbq sauce. I was not disappointed as they were big and well cooked. Sauce was really nice and complimented the smoked wings I will be back to try other items on the menu soon

    This review is based on the quality of takeout because I haven't dined in yet. We're staying at a nearby Airbnb right on the river and two houses down from this place. Previous Airbnb guests mentioned how they had the best burger ever at this place just steps away so of course I had to check it out. I wanted the BBQ smoked wings but were told they were waiting on the next batch to be done in about 30-40 mins. Luckily I had snacks on hand and was willing to wait. I'm so glad I did!!! These might be the juiciest wings I've ever had! The skin was nicely (but not overly) seasoned with a nice snap to it before clear juices squirting out when I bit into it. The small cup of collard greens were good, not over cooked but slightly under salted. Still flavorful, and I prefer under seasoned to too salty or over seasoned anyway. The coleslaw was fresh, and the corn fritters tasted like little donut balls tossed in cinnamon sugar with some corn inside. It came with a melted butter dipping sauce. Oh, and of course also got some sweet tea! Would definitely eat here again and next time will dine in on their outdoor deck overlooking the water (although our Airbnb has one too)!

    Wow, this place has the best bbq I've had in a while. Smells amazing and great location. Food is made to order, so it's hot and fresh. The staff is very friendly and courteous. Will definitely be making more trips here!

    See all

    Not really a restaurant. Food trucks should have a separate heading. Couldn't stay because I am mosquito crack and can't eat outside.

    My husband had been craving bbq something serious so after comparing a few different places on Yelp…read morewe came across rack city ribz. I'd seen this place on social media so i already kinda had an idea of what was in store. We went on a Saturday afternoon. The truck is in a lot off of US 41 with plenty of parking and shade while you wait. We ordered the rib and brisket platter with two sides and some additional sides as well. Mac and cheese Collard Greens Cornbread casserole Potato salad Baked beans Phew we had quite a spread. It was plenty of food for us there was even lots of left overs. The bbq sauce was amazingggg & I should also note that my 11 year old loved the corn bread casserole she said she wanted that for her birthday (which ain't until September lol) Will definitely visit again as i could not get enough! The hype is definitely real! I didn't get a good pic bc we dug in without a second thought!

    I've been to this elevated food truck location several times but the lack of consistency remains…read morethe same. I'm going to start with the positives: love to see a local black owned business! The customer service is always 10/10 and the prices are extremely reasonable for the portions and quality. The brisket was probably some of the best if not the best I've ever had. When I talk specifically about consistency, the food is sometimes heavily salted to the point of no return. Seasoned food and salty food- two different things. This batch of sides were too salty and not appetizing. The ribs were bland so it was hard to accept that the same person was seasoning the food. This family meal cost around $60 and we didn't want to leave the house again to get it corrected. I've had food here several times and it was great. It just didn't hit the mark this time.

The restaurant has a clean look with pictures of the food on the wall. All of the food is cooked fresh daily. I was impressed by the menu options and definitely want to try everything on the menu. I ordered the brisket which was delicious. The meat had a nice flavor and was tender. They have 3 barbecue sauce options: Sweet Chili, Jerk Barbecue and Carolina Gold. I loved the Carolina Gold on my brisket. The green beans were also fresh with a good flavor and the truffle Mac and cheese was delicious. The prices were fair. I definitely will be back to try some other items and recommend this restaurant.
