I have visited Mojo's numerous times over the past couple of years in both St. Augustine and Avondale. Both are great! The location in St. Augustine has a dog friendly patio and at night, it's really a vibe. Great food, great drink choices and always great service. Past choices have been: Burnt Ends - When available, these are fantastic! A reason alone to go to Mojos. Crispy, meaty, delicious and I use the Mojo sauce for dipping. Onion Rings - These come in a "tower". They're huge, crispy, seasoned perfectly and fantastic. Mojos Salad - generous size with two choices of meat and the cornbread croutons set this apart from any other croutons you've had. Catfish Platter - This is my go-to meal. I get it blackened with green beans and corn. It also comes with jalapeño cornbread. It's amazing. Today, we had our dogs with us and we were starving. Both the waiter and staff inside fawned over our dogs. They also immediately provided water for us and our dogs and made us all feel welcome. This was one of our first meals out with the dogs and it really went well. We decided because of this being a test, we'd just get a couple of appetizers. I also tried Cheerwine Zero. This soda is an acquired taste. If you like Dr Pepper, you'll probably like this drink. We ordered the chicken nachos and the pulled pork quesadilla off of the appetizer menu. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you our food was out in about 7 minutes. Robert S was our waiter and he was a superstar. We were so hungry and it was so delicious that I only have pictures of the soda. Thanks again to Mojos for another great experience. If you're not originally from the south, and you are urged to try BBQ, trust me and go to Mojos. You will love it. There is a great selection of food and drinks (Great whiskey choices) all of their sauces are delicious and I have never had less than stellar service. read more

Mojo Old City BBQ - Cheerwine Zero - Barbeque Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I've been to St. Augustine twice since I moved to Jacksonville last year. Each time, I've had lunch at Mojo Old City BBQ. There's a solid chance that I'll have lunch here the third time, fourth time, and I think you get it from there- whenever I return. For my latest trip, we walked right in and were seated about noon on a Saturday. I'm kind of stunned that it isn't busier at that time, because the food is spectacular and the service is superb. Mojo Old City BBQ has ample outdoor and indoor seating. I've sat on the patio during both visits, which is across the street from a historical cemetery. As my family isn't known for ravenous appetites, we split the Whole Hawg, which includes pulled pork, brisket, turkey, chicken, ribs, a piece of sausage, four sides, and four slices of toast, all for $42. This is a lot of food and the perfect way to sample Mojo's BBQ. Every meat was smoked to perfection and was juicy and full of flavor. The sausage and brisket were the standouts to me, but it's all good. Don't sleep on the sides, either. The pit beans were smoky, sweet, with bits of pork, just amazing. The mashed potatoes are delicious, and the mac and cheese is among the better I've had at a BBQ restaurant. Mojo has an array of their own sauces, too. The Mojo and Chipotle sauces have a nice kick to them, in particular. My family was barely able to finish the food since we had a late breakfast, but any way you shake it, the Whole Hawg is a lot of food and will fill up 3 or 4 people. Also, who wants to be stuffed if you're visiting St. Augustine and will be checking out the sites all day? There's certainly no shortage of other places to stop for food. If you like BBQ and are in St. Augustine, I highly recommend stopping by Mojo Old City BBQ. The food and service are great, and the prices are totally reasonable. You won't be disappointed. read more

Desperate for finding a lunch spot that didn't have a 40-minute wait, my wife suggested Mojo Old City. The suggestion didn't disappoint as the restaurant offers great cocktails and delicious food. The cocktails were great with my wife enjoying a Kentucky Mule and I loved the Flying Peach. The latter had a lovely sweetness with a sour citrusy tang on the back end. The Odd Couple was also very good, like a cherry popsicle that melted in a good way. All three were bourbon-based cocktails that brought me a sense of spiritual purity and strength; strength and spiritual purity. I thought I would miss out on the Kansas City Burnt Ends but they literally became available after we ordered according to my server. So naturally, I ordered some and was so glad that I did. They were juicy, savory, and seasoned to perfection. They were a flavor bomb that lasted in your mouth for hours if you didn't order anything else. The bbq sauces are very good. The sweet is precisely that while the mojo has a nice savory mouthfeel. The chipotle definitely brought some smokiness and spice. For the main course was the southern fried chicken with white gravy and sides of Mac n cheese and bbq pit beans. The meal certainly satisfied my appetite as the chicken breast was delicious while the Mac n cheese was creamy and delectable. I inhaled the latter with incredible delight. The beans were delicious as well, made with bacon grease, brown sugar, and love. Overall, this was a joyous meal that brought me a lot of... wait for it... joy. I would return here in a heartbeat, especially for the burnt ends and the Mac n cheese. On a side note, they have a very respectable whiskey collection if you like a drop of the drink. read more

This was my first night visiting the city and loved the idea of a BBQ joint. Unfortunately this one missed the mark on all levels. Nothing was bad but nothing was good either. This was just an eh experience. I would give 5 stars to the gentlemen hosting. He stated he has been working there for 11 years and it shows. He was amazing. The server was a bit slow and food didn't blow us away. We ordered the burnt ends, a BBQ burger and a grill chicken. Nothing to complain about but not to encourage another visit read more

Mojo Old City BBQ - Menu 11/26/24 - Barbeque Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I love this bbq spot! Everytime I come to Saint Augustine I make sure to include a stop here! Yummy juicy smoked brisket, and the burnt ends sell out quick, bc they are that good, pulled porkbtender and soft, they have a wide variety of dipping sauces at all the tables, mustard, chipotle, mojo sauce, and sweet bbq, but for me the best thing about the place are the variety of sides to enjoy your meats with, roasted corn, greens, sweet potatoe mash (sweet like a casserole with nuts) and their beans are amazing! I love their Texas toast, and they have jalapeno corn bread! Their cocktails are yummy and I recommend the cucumber one, bc on a warm summer day it's refreshing. The service was great from the get go, our server Noah was attentive, and sweet, I also love it's location, every time I've come here around sunset the the cemetery is absolutely calming and beautiful with the sunlight hitting it! read more

Lunchtime was not busy and we were able to walk in right away. All of our items were so good! Boom Boom Shrimp appetizer was a little overpriced for the amount of shrimp but the sauce was very good. The smoked corn side was our favorite! Smoked chicken, grilled salmon, and the Mac and cheese were also good. Good review all around! read more

I am a North Carolinian born and raised, and I am very particular about my Eastern NC BBQ. I thought Mojo's NC pulled pork sandwich was absolutely up to par--spicy, vinegary and delicious!! The cole slaw is also great (and I'm picky about my slaw, too!!), and if you like mac and cheese you HAVE to get that as a side it was soooooo good. We actually ordered delicious and even with the 15min drive it was just as fresh/warm as if we had dined in. The pulled pork leftovers also lasted me 2 extra meals lol so they definitely don't skimp on sides. read more

Had a great meal here. The food was really very good. The pulled pork is amazing. In the sandwich...great! In the quesadilla...great! Plain on the plate...also great. The North Carolina pork was awesome. The sweet tea, fries, bacon burger, and baked beans were also very tasty. Now the service was pleasant but slow (and the restaurant was very empty at the time...we might have been the only ones in there). And the tables were strangely, uncomfortable sticky. Not just as in the sense that sticky tables feel gross, but the menus had to be literally peeled away from the tables because they stuck so badly. Really didn't understand what was going on with that. But otherwise, I certainly would recommend it. read more

Hands down my favorite place when I come visit St. Augustine. Whenever we come to town, this is the first place we stop for dinner and the last place we stop before we head out. The burnt ends go quick so get there early in the night if it's a super crowded night in town! They are to die for!!! I'm not a big bbq good person but this I literally beg to go to every-time we're in town. It's got your typical bbq restaurant feel, it's super open which makes for lots of echoing but that's expected. Love it! read more

Every thing was great, food / service/ ambience. We will definitely go back again. We went by it to go somewhere else and they were not open , so we went back because it smelled really good. I'm so glad we did. read more

Decided to have dinner here before our Ghost Tour. It was an excellent decision. Located directly across from the Tolomato graveyard with a beautiful patio! The servers were very kind and the service was quick. The vegetable plate comes with four and for $3.00 more there are premium items. Everything is delicious but the Mac and cheese is the clear star. We also had fried pickles and bang bang shrimp. Both are pretty good but I preferred the fried pickles over the shrimp. read more

Service is a yes!!! Brisket = strong No!!! Dry and tough. Onion rings = strong yes Pulled pork = yes. Mac & cheese = yes Corn bread = yes Burnt ends = strong yes!!!!!! Sausage = yes. Would be a 4.5 star if the brisket was better. Closer to a 3.5 rating. read more

Wow! We were staying here for the weekend and one of the locals recommended Mojo's. I asked if they had the vinegar base BBQ and she did they did! We were completely ready to have two pulled pork sandwiches until we had the Kansas City Burnt Ends as an appetizer. It was so good, we ordered another and added the fried pickles to make a meal out of it all. We we lucky enough to have Sam as our waitress. She made us feel welcome and was attentive to all of our requests. Her personality was great and we highly recommend asking for her. We have now hired her for our personal tour guide whenever we're in town!! read more

This place is right across the street from the bed and breakfast place we are staying so we came here for lunch. It was SO good! The waitress was very nice and fast. Our burnt ends came out super fast! It was delicious and the bbq sauces were really good! I love the Chipotle and Mojo the most!! I ordered the Louisiana catfish blackened and even though, it was very greasy, it was really tasty and delicious! The cornbread was also A+. It was sweet but not overly sweet and not too dry. The collard greens were my favorite side dish. Very well done. I got the stew and sweet potato mash as well. The stew was great, the mash was alright. The nuts in it was the best. My boyfriend got the brisket and pulled pork shoulder and wow, the meats were very well cooked! I would recommend this place to anyone that loves bbq or meats. I feel like my standards for food is high and this place definitely gets 5 stars from me!!! read more

First visit to Mojo's and it was superb. Make sure you ask to have Dave as your server. He offers a great experience. We ate on the outside patio on a gorgeous day. But the star is the food. There were 4 of us but 3 had the same sandwich, so there were fewer pictures. Our relatives from North Carolina thought this was one of the best brisket sandwiches they had ever eaten. The onion rings were exceptional. As good as they may look in the picture, they tasted even better. I had the salad with burnt ends. There was a lot of meat. I got 2 meals from it. We were a little surprised that the quality would be so high in such a tourist area. We will be singing their praises going forward and look forward to returning soon to have Dave serve us. To the management of this restaurant, you should be thrilled having Dave represent your business and your food. He knows his menu and really sells it well. It is obvious he loves what he is selling. read more

Great to eat inside or outside. Easy to find. Great, prompt, friendly staff. The BBQ is great! Try it all, you won't regret it!

Tasty and great customer service . The ribs fell off the bone and the chicken was juicy ! Highly recommended

We were going to go to Harry's but the line was so long we decided to head back to this place as we caught the scent of it walking by and it smelled so good. So glad we did come back. We sat outside and it was great. Right across from a gated cemetery and we watched the ghost hunters come and go taking pictures. We started with the Kansas City Burnt Ends and OMG they were fantastic. They give you several different types of bbq sauce to try and our favorite was the Chipotle. We then split (between my husband and myself) the Two meat combo with a side of Mac and cheese and the BBQ pit beans. Everything was delicious. Our server was Liam and he was great. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the main entree as we couldn't wait to dig in! read more

Really great BBQ spot. Friendly service, clean bathrooms, and excellent brisket. We got the burnt ends, brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and it was all very good. Plenty of space and good for families of all sizes. read more

Our group had a great experience here! We tried their spare ribs and brisket with an assortment of sides. I usually don't expect Mac and cheese at bbq places to be good but it was really good. It was saucy and well flavored! Their other sides like the cole slaw was good too! The ribs were tender but charred nicely and the brisket was soft and delicious as well. The three meats and side for $21 is a good variety and the server was nice and split the plate for two people knowing my friends were sharing. The portions are generous and overall, this was a great experience. They have ample seating indoor and out door and also private parking. read more

The Brunswick stew was a wonderful surprise to have on a menu as it is harder and harder to find these days. It was very good. Not as good as my great aunt's but it hit the spot. $2 up charge to make it a side with my sandwich. The mojo sandwich was massive. 2 people could really spilt it. It seemed like 2 cups of shredded protein on a bun. The bun was toasted with butter and garlic powder which always makes me happy. It was perfectly sauced and didn't need anything extra. The burnt ends were to die for. I would get them next time as an entree and just order an extra side. They were rubbed with such a great spice combo that sauce was no needed to enjoy them. Sometimes burnt ends are more burn and little meat -not here. My hubby got the Smitty and enjoyed it greatly. The view from outside was great because of the people watching and the beautiful view of the trees and cemetery. Service was excellent! Inside the place was packed clearly not adhering to 50% capacity. Parking will be very hard to have within a block of here. Their lot is very small. I would suggest parking somewhere a distance away and enjoy your stroll. The cheesecake place across the street is great! read more

I found this BBQ joint on Yelp before our trip to St Augustine. The dinner menu drew me in and the prospect of tasty drinks from the bar sold me. It was busy as to be expected during any Night of Lights evening. There were open seats at the bar so we grabbed a couple of drinks and waited there for a table. We opted for first available (inside vs outside) seating. We got a table on the outside patio. A treat for sure. There were heaters to keep us comfortable. The kids enjoyed watching the horse drawn carriages and trolleys go by while we waited for our food. Everyone working there observed COVID-19 and social distancing protocols and we felt safe the entire time in the restaurant. Masks worn by patrons when walking to and from the table of course. Drinks: My first drink was a Staci's Huckleberry Mojito at the bar inside. I enjoyed the flavor and it was a great way to start the dining adventure. My second drink was the Low country sangria ordered at our table with dinner. A smooth drink and it paired well with the dinner. Food: We started with an appetizer and ordered the Pit-smoked chicken wings. They were so tasty! Well seasoned, lightly crispy outside and juicy meat inside. I could have eaten a whole plate of those just for dinner with some sides. Definitely will get those next time we come back. My entree was pulled pork shoulder with sweet potato mash and creamy cole slaw. The man had a two meat combo of St. Louis spareribs and beef brisket. His sides were mashed potatoes with gravy and bbq pit beans. My kids enjoyed their entrees and sides. Kid friendly restaurant with paper menus and crayons. We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant and will return the next time we're in town. I was happy with our service and the food taste and temperature was perfect. read more

We came to Mono Old City for a casual dinner during a bachelorette weekend. The hosts stand seemed really unprepared for how empty the place was but the server was really nice and on top of things and the food was heavy but tasty. Got there and hosts let us know that it would only be a few minutes but don't ask for our name. 10 minutes go by and a family around the size as our party, that had been waiting for a while at the bar, comes back to the stand to ask how much longer, as they weren't give a timeframe either. Another 10 minutes go by and we're sat first, even after we mention the family was here before us. The food was tasty but very rich. I was hoping the acidity of the slaw on the BBQ Ruben would help but it was just lettuce with some dressing on it, though the onion rings were really tasty. Overall the food was fine but wouldn't recommend based on the service of the hosts. It bothered me that they weren't doing anything to help or talk to the servers and seemed really disorganized, but had time to chat with each other or whip out a phone. read more

Good bbq. I tried a two meat platter and selected ribs and brisket. Sides were collards and a side salad. The portions were quite large. The ribs and brisket were perfect. I enjoyed the rub. Only negative maybe a tad more salt. The collards were sweet and spicy. Among the best I've had. The salad utilizes jalapeño corn bread croutons. Yummy. Mrs did a pulled pork sandwich. Very moist and good sized. The meat is smoked to perfection. Good beers, lots of whiskey, bourbons etc. Try a black pearl. Mrs had three ! Lol read more

We were here the first time just for drinks but we have been here for the food before and it is really good. The bar area is really cool and laid back. We came here 2x on this trip which is saying a lot as we don't usually like to go to the same place twice. But it is just so good. The 2nd time we stopped in we were getting food. We got burnt ends and some fried pickles. Both were awesome. Got to get me some of the BBQ sauce! The whiskey selection here is top notch as well. Definitely a must stop for anyone that likes good BBQ and whiskey read more

I honestly don't know what I can say about this place that hasn't already been said. We've lived in the area for a few years now and I'm embarrassed that it took us so long to try this place. I guess I always looked at it as "just another BBQ place". We all know that all BBQ is not equal...and now we know this place is definitely a step above. With that said, the only reason we did try it was because they were doing curbside pickup during the recent shutdown and we wanted to support our community...and I wanted a day off from cooking {tee-hee}. "SNAP"...just that quick it became one of our favorites in St. Augustine! I didn't know what to order...and the guys taking my order basically decided for me/us since it was our first time. I am so glad I put my trust in them...we loved everything! We got The Whole Hawg with Mac & Cheese, BBQ Pit Beans, Sweet Potato Mash and Creamy Cole Slaw. It was the perfect way to try a little bit of everything. When we talk about that food now we start salivating! Seriously! I'm trying to talk my guys into trying different things/places in St. Augustine and when you come across places like this it sure does make it hard. The guys that helped me/us out were friendly and personable...although I just met them, they treated me like I had known them for years (I like that). I highly recommend this place and it does not disappoint. Read the reviews...it's simply delicious!!! If you can't decide on what to do or where to eat...just know that everything is good here and you'll get a great meal! Plus, they have their own parking lot...which is huge in St. Augustine! HUZZAH! Note for the wonderer: Yes, I asked...No uniformed/veteran discount. [5 photos have been posted, on or before, the time of review--they don't always show up/attach to the review] read more
