Terry and Treemendous BBQ catered my wedding reception recently, and he and his entire team were fantastic! He worked with me for months leading up to the event to make sure all of my questions were answered, and he was extremely patient in dealing with our venue's unfortunately very particular and unusual requirements. He was extremely flexible, and he and his team made the months leading up to the wedding, and the reception itself, totally stress-free. Their presentation (appetizers and buffet) was outstanding, all the food was delicious (especially the brisket), their pricing was very fair, and they were super friendly and helpful to me and all the guests. They even made two delicious fish entrees for our guests who could not have meat. I enthusiastically recommend having Terry and Treemendous cater any event! read more

Their dining room feels modern with rustic charm, and is always clean. Their meats all have a proper smoke flavor, which I think is important for barbecue! Orders are placed at the counter and they are always welcoming and friendly. A sign of a legit, fresh bbq spot: when the extremely popular items are sold out they're sold out. There's no microwaving another bag of meat. Quality over quantity! Big fan of this restaurant. read more

Stopped by TREEMENDOUS BBQ today for lunch between errands and housework. It's been too long since I've stopped by so I was way overdue for a visit. I got the "Tree"mendous Salad with double turkey (you can choose 2 proteins, I opted for doubling up the turkey). Fresh, smokey, and delicious. They give you a decent amount of ranch too. Not no itty bitty cup either! I also use some of their barbie sauce (my favorite sauce they have) to top it off. Also... if you were the kind lady who got up and moved for an elderly woman to sit closer to the door, that was very kind of you. However, the conversation you tried to begin and have with me was extremely presumptuous and rude. Not everyone who chooses to have a salad at a BBQ place is doing so to "lose weight". Some of us, overweight or not, enjoy a good smoked BBQ salad and next time, please just mind your business. read more

Grew up coming here, and it is always so delicious. By far my favorite BBQ in jacksonville. The turkey, ribs, and pulled pork are always my go to. Their "Barbie Q" sauce is SO good, and I put it on everything. Dining area is small but cozy, and they get very busy for good reason so sometimes it's best to take it to go or you may be waiting around for a seat. Food always comes hot and fast, and always on point. HIGHLY recommend. read more

Small portions, very small! Prices were high especially considering the small portions. Food was reasonably tasty, but no better than many of the chain BBQ restaurants in the area. Disappointing. read more

Decided to try this place on a whim and let's just say I was pleasantly surprised. The customer service was great. Unfortunately they were out of ribs at the time. The burnt ends were amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the pulled pork. All the sides were fresh and made in house. The greens were well seasoned. The potato salad was good. Will definitely be going back. read more

Not sure when I've never tried this place before especially since I use to work right around the corner from here. I was visiting the area felt like eating some BBQ. I ordered the Brisket and Shrimp, I ate most of the Brisket before taking a pic, so only have the photo of the Shrimp. The Shrimp was lightly breaded and had light seasoning, the best part about it was the size of the Shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised. . The inside is larger than it seems from the outside, my one negative was the smoke inside, burned my eyes at times so I couldn't sit inside very long. All of the staff was very friendly and so courteous. I would absolutely eat here in the future read more

The smoked meats are TREEMENDOUS! :) This spot shot up my Jax BBQ list after one try and took the place of Berndt Ends since they closed down. The food is tasty, the people (staff & patrons) are friendly and the banana pudding is amazing!! Took a quart home last time. It's a casual spot...order at the counter, pick your table and your order will be called out when ready. Parking is a gravel lot. Plenty of room but it can get muddy/potholes during rainy days. read more

We got take out. We got the feast for 2 that feeds 4! We got brisket turkey pulled pork and ribs. Sides were 2 Mac n cheese, fries and limas. I love baked beans but went with limas. Everything was delish! Mac n cheese def needs salt and even pepper but was creamy and cheesy. I made a brisket (very moist and even fat was tasty) sandwich with their hot sauce which isn't hot and a little ranch dressing. Wonderful! Fries dipped in homemade ranch were crisp and yummy. Mustard sauce was tasty. Turkey was moist. Ribs were fall off the bone tasty. Pork was tasty and moist. The service is very quick, friendly and efficient. The interior is kitschy and clean. When we arrived about 15 men were waiting to go in. They ordered and took a seat. We then ordered in under a five minute wait and first orders were already on the way out to the men who ordered in front of us. Our to go order was ready under 5 minutes. Looking forward to going back!! read more

This is a nice quaint restaurant. Their BBQ meats are moist but done. There sides are great too. Tonight was my first time in. We ordered the dinner for two. Plenty of food. I had to bring some home. read more

Great food, great price, and great service!! Recommended to anyone!!! Westside location, but not at all a scary place

Stopped in today to pick up lunch after church. We phoned in the order and it was ready when we arrived approximately 20 minutes later. While the dining room and parking lot are small, the staff at the counter service restaurant were attentive and friendly. The dining contains the smell of the smoke from the pit and you can see them fix your order from the counter. We ordered the family 4 meat meal with an extra side added on. They were out of sausage, but we did get turkey l, beef, pulled pork and chicken with quart size sides of Mac and cheese, coleslaw and barbecue beans. The meal also comes with Texas toast and choice of barbecue sauce. They will also provide plates and utensils on request so all you have to do is get it home. Everything was well prepared, the meats had just the right amount of smoke and were tender and juicy. I think they gave me a whole chicken in the meal. The sides were good also and the cole slaw is very firm/ finely chopped and not overly sauced. We fed a group of 4 adults and 3 kids and still had left overs for dinner. Definitely recommend for family take out. read more

Awesome! Great quality, great quantity and great price!! I love this place. Oh and the people are friendly!

A friend and I were at an event where this food truck was and we both wanted to try it. After getting suggestions from the guys working in the truck, we both decided on the brisket plate. The nice portion of brisket came with two sides and I opted for the baked beans and macaroni and cheese. It was topped with a thick piece of white bread. The brisket was smoky and flavorful but it had some toughness to it, definitely requiring a knife to cut it. While the mac and cheese was cheesy but quite bland, the beans were great. Memorable beans are hard to come by but these were sweet and very well seasoned. I should've gotten the beans as both of my sides! In general, this truck has good meat, great beans, and good sauce. I was just hoping for more from the brisket. read more

I first came to know about this business via foodtruck, which left a very good impression on me. The ribs were tender and that's enough to get me to follow you to the ends of the earth . This however is my second time visiting the brick location. It's a small building, pretty simple looking which is ok for bbq. The inside is dim, not much natural light, and just enough space for a few seats. I ordered one of the specials on the board, pork sandwich, a side & drink $10. Pricing was good. The sweet tea was fine, nothing to shout about. I had to ask the cashier for a lid because the ones out for customers was soiled with something I couldn't identify. The pork was dry. I had to drown it in sauce to get it down. The fries were simple krinkle fries. My husband had the rib plate. He said the ribs were tender but lacked flavor (he's the family grill master btw so that critique holds a lot of weight). He said the Mac and cheese was a no for him. All in all I was not impressed not sure when or if I'll return read more

This place is AMAZING. Hubby and I are recovering Californians and used to California sized servings so we came here and got the family meal. Boy were we shocked!

We ordered the Dinner for Two as recommended by the girl at the register for our first time. Four meats, four sides and four garlic bread. So good! The ribs fell off the bone, Turkey was moist!

Great bbq & service. I recommend it to my friends when they fly into Cecil Field. Outstanding!!

YES!!! I'd share pics, but all the food is gone. Yummy BBQ and an awesome staff! Go get some....

This is not my first visit to Treemendous so I knew what to expect....and that's why I came back. We happened to be relatively close so when someone mentioned bbq, I knew exactly where I was taking our party. This dive has counter service and everything I've ever eaten here is excellent. Since we didn't have lunch, we ordered a small order of onion rings and corn nuggets to start. Fall off the bone smoky ribs was my protein choice for tonight. My sides were collards and fries. Anytime a place like this has collards or greens, count me in. All food was TREEmendously good. Around the table others had chicken as smoked turkey and all were happy. They have 4 or 5 sauces including hot, mustard, sweet, and original which is like a vinegar sauce. All are good but I lean towards mixing mustard and sweet. Soooo good. If you're in the area just look for the pink polka dotted hog out front. When you find it, your bbq craving will be fulfilled. If you're not in the area, it's worth the drive. read more

Family barbecue place, out in the country! Unexpected and tucked away on the Westside of Jacksonville. Small dining area with large booths and that Smokey smell that gets your appetite for smoked barbecue going. Heavy take-out business tells you the food is worth the trip! The restaurant is rustic yet clean, so you won't mind eating in. If you are looking for authentic smoked barbecue give it a try. The sides were also very tasty, piping hot macaroni and cheese, with a creamy texture, sweet and sour cole slaw was also very good, with grilled Texas toast. Prices are reasonable for the amount of food you get! Family friendly service with walk-up counter ordering. Always like to see local businesses succeed and they also do catering. read more

Get here early for lunch! If you're late you'll be waiting in line and they might run out of something you wanted! You order at the counter, find a seat, and they will bring your tray out to you. Try the hot mustard sauce, it's so good! I want to thank this business for allowing me to get the kids portion meal. The regular portions are super large and I don't want left overs. I couldn't even eat all of the kids portion. Lol Oh, and thank you for carrying the fat crinkle fries...not many places have good bbq pork and good fat fries, my favorites! P.S. you should get someone else to take phone orders other than the person taking counter orders...you would speed things up for your customer. read more

Really good food, but main thing that concerns me is the chicken. THEY MUST BE SHOOTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF STEROIDS IN THEM BIRDS. Chicken breast are extremely HUGE . As if these chickens are larger than a turkey or Ostrich for that matter. Scary read more

Visiting Jax for healthcare every two months and the restaurants here do not disappoint. As this is my late mom's home, I've been searching for a west side BBQ restaurant from the past called Sly's. (If anyone has info, please let me know). I found Treemendous instead and am so glad. Small casual restaurant with booth seating, smells delicious inside, our meals were incredible. Fall of the bone ribs and pulled chicken. Three sauce choices on table, all very good. See photos below. Reminds me of what I was looking for. Recommend. read more

Here is an out of the way restaurant. Treemendous BBQ serves great food at reasonable costs. I had the pulled pork with trying their sweet, mustard and BBQ sauces. All of the sauces are great. Their sides of baked beans, collard greens fries, potato salad and Lima beans are great. All of them need no seasoning. The drink size is huge and self serve. I love their sweet tea. Food is ordered at the counter and delivered to the table. It was a bit crowded. We took the the last table. The music is a bit on the loud side. There are no televisions, so enjoy a conversation with your dinner companions. This is a great hole in the wall restaurant that serves treemendous BBQ, definitely worth the drive past it's competition. Come try it for yourself and enjoy. read more

Treemendous BBQ - Cute decor - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Wow, word of mouth is definitely working for this joint, I must say. Got there at 11:30 a.m. to see a packed house. I was lucky enough to snag the last table, though, so big sigh of relief. Now...why 5 stars now as opposed to my 4 star review? Because they deserve it, that's why. Because there's a difference between BBQ that makes people full and BBQ that makes people happy. I don't just leave this place stuffed, I leave here wanting to come back tomorrow, and smiling at the thought. As MUCHHHH as I wanted to try the "roll up your sleeves" ribs this go around...the pulled pork sandwich was calling my name and I couldn't resist. I barely glanced at the menu, in fact, because I knew it wouldn't matter. Pulled pork it was. Between two pieces of thick, garlicky texas toast. And with the "sweet" sauce? I can't even tell you...partly because I'm starting to drool. Winner winner pulled pork dinner. What puts it over the top is the bark that's chopped in with the meat. That slight crunch to compliment the soft shreds of pork. I just...sat there wanting to savor the taste, really, that's what it comes down to. Top rated sides: Baked beans, corn fritters, collard greens, onion rings. The mac n cheese, you ask? Borderline "meh" and "so-so". Banana pudding very popular, though. I "people glanced" the other tables...not much talking going on...just satisfied grunts and nods of approval being exchanged between bites. Nice to know I'm not alone :) read more

I've been here a few times over the years. The barbecue is pretty standard for Jacksonville. The staff is OK, they're not particularly friendly and they're not particularly unfriendly they are really not memorable in any fashion. That doesn't make them bad that just makes them not special per se. The menu is also pretty standard, fried pickles which are pretty good, corn nuggets, the usual barbecue, very typical salad for a barbecue place, everything is very standard. I might have given this place one more star in light of the fact that they do barbecue pretty good, However it seems that the ribs are, while tender, kind of dry unless you soak them in sauce. I think perhaps they just cook the fat right out of them except for that little fat slab on the top. Also, every time we go there it seems their air-conditioning is broken. It was 84° inside when we were there last weekend. That just distracts from the experience in a significant way. I like to come here because I'm all for supporting the small business and I'd much rather give them my money then one of the barbecue change however if you were in the mood for great barbecue you should hit Monroes on Highway. read more

We were really surprised how good the BBQ was! Most places are about average but the Brisket was delicious, Ribs on point and decent chopped pork. The place was pretty steady. We plan to come back and try it again. read more

This BBQ joint is one of my favorites along with Gator! Real, authentic BBQ, fries, mashed potatoes, all the fixins, etc.

One of the best BBQ on the west side of jax always fresh and friendly! Taking a whole family here is worth it!

Just got a Brisket sandwich here , price on menu was $14.99, on menu over counter it said up charge for beef, it was so dark you could hardly read it and I paid $19.12 for a Brisket Sandwich with a side. When I got home and opened package 1/4 of the Brisket was fat!! No way to do business. read more

The food here is always good and they are always professional and courteous. The food is never overcooked and they have different sauces to select. I love their large salad with two types of meat. I always add bbq sauce to mine. read more
