    Elote Pasta Salad
    Mike S.

    Finally made it to Yellow Rose and it was for sure worth the wait. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon around lunch and it was pretty crowded but we did expect that. There is inside and outside seating so there is more room then it looks. We went to the counter checked up the menu and ordered. I was our first time so we had to try a little bit of everything of course. We went with the Hill Country Trinity which comes with Brisket, Pork Ribs, Sausage , and 3 sides, a Rosebud, and a Crispy Quesa Taco with Brisket since unfortunately they were out of Birria. For the Hill Country Trinity we went with our Brisket moist, Cheddar Jalapeno Sausage, and for our side, Mac & Cheese, Elote Pasta Salad, and the Homemade Cornbread which was a special side that day. All I have to say is all the meat was fantastic. Best BBQ I have had in Jacksonville in a very long time. The Pork Ribs were tender with amazing seasoning and bark. The meat just feel off the bone. The Brisket was flavorful, fatty and melted in my mouth just the way of like it. You also get a whole sausage which had plenty of cheese in it. I also love both the Crispy Quesa Taco and the Rosebud. I was not expecting them to be as good as they were. I could have eaten another 2 or 3 of each. You for sure had to make sure to added both of them on to your meal with you come. The Rosebud was creamy and juicy but if you just bite into it you will get messy. The Crispy Quesa Taco also is really taken to the next level by the Salsa Verde in it. Gives it just the kick it needed. My favorite side by far was the Homemade Cornbread which was some of the best I had ever had. They gotta add this to the menu always. The Mac & Cheese was the only let down of the food we order. It was bad but just needed to be seasoned move. Even salt and pepper would do the trick. We for sure will be back to Yellow Rose since it's by for the best BBQ close to us.

    I had heard about this BBQ place so much and finally got the opportunity to stop in and try it for myself! Mike and I split the bill country trinity platter with ribs, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage and sides of mac and cheese, elote pasta salad and cornbread. It was massive and so filling. I loved the brisket, the jalapeño cheese sausage and the cornbread! The only small disappointment was the mac and cheese and it's not that it wasn't good it was just not BBQ restaurant good in my opinion but I would give it another shot. This is a restaurant for getting in, enjoying your food and leaving to go nap afterwards.

    As a long time residence of Austin, Texas, I'm sad that this isn't better than it is. I was really expecting some Texas brisket. I couldn't really stand any of the sides at all. I took two bites of the cole slaw and threw it away. The brisket was absolutely OK. I will try this BBQ place again, but I don't have too high of hopes. All the staff were kind and professional, and the place was clean.

    Super excited about this new BBQ spot in Mandarin -- my husband and I had been hearing good things and finally had a chance to check it out. We ordered takeout and were really happy with what we got! The portions were pretty large so it made it worth the price -- we had so many leftovers that it ended up being 4 servings of food for us. I had the pulled pork, brisket taco, charro beans & green beans. Hubby got brisket, pulled pork, fries and charro beans. Takeout was super fast and I didn't feel like we waited very long, which is always appreciated. The space itself is pretty small, but it serves its purpose just fine, I'd say. We will definitely be coming back to try more -- I'm thinking about the elote on the menu and any of the other specials!

    As soon as you walk in, it's so welcoming! Great music and decor and great customer service!!! However, my rating is on the food. Such a let down. My favorite part was the coleslaw... The cornbread was bone dry, it looks like it would be good, the honey on top is nice. But it was so dry. My husband says the green beans we

    Turkey sandwich
    Bonnie Z.

    Place was absolutely packed at 4:30 on a Saturday. Unfortunately many sides and pulled pork and brisket were already sold out. I had the chicken bacon ranch quesadillas which was fantastic. Very flavorful! Chris had a turkey sandwich. It was ok. A lot of turkey but no frills otherwise. As I said the restaurant was packed so much so that we were stuck in our seats for a bit. We couldn't leave without having people at other tables get up and move chairs to let us through. It was a maze making our way to the garbage . I think this will be a take out place for us earlier in the day so everything is available to order

    Wowza, they really know ribs at tge Yellow Rose. No sauce needed, just fall off the bone good Service - had a pick up order, but the service on the phone and in person with stellar. Atmosphere - there were boxes stacked, and some parts clearly weren't being used, but the dining room was clean, and the noise level was low, but I have to admit my clean OCD was perturbed. My son and I have been trying to go by here for a couple of months, but his schedule only allows us to go to lunch on Mondays in the Yellow Rose is closed on Mondays, so we just weren't making a connection. Fast-forward to tonight and he came in tired from work, the rest of the family was out of town, so I took advantage and got us two platters, sides, and tacos to try.. As I said above, Service was stellar both in person and on the phone and the host is definitely steered me right on what items to get and what I am looking for popular. When I went to pick up the food, I was a little annoyed because the person in front of me was taking so long, but then I remembered they took about that long with me on the phone so I have nothing to complain about. Yellow Rose know something about Service that's for sure. You wanna know what else food more specifically Texas barbecue : Original sauce- my favorite, rich flavor and not too sweet. Mustard sauce - another good one, but not as good as the original. Charro beans - wowza, these were good. Cabbage - I do t like cabbage, but this was a good choice. Elote Macaroni - this fell flat for me, but my son LOVED it. Brisket - hardy, meaty taste, nice crust on the outside. Ribs -seriously, WTH? These were fantastic, they don't need sauce, the rub they put on is delicious. There is a limited menu, but they have a wall of butcher paint with specials and a board on the counter stating what they are out of. I would like to dine in next time and try some of the specials, sone of them looked great. Really worth a try, just don't go on Mondays.

    Brisket taco
    Mark R.

    First, I have to commend the young lady who was at the front who took our order. I truly wished I got her name or that she was wearing a name tag because I would love to recognize her for the outstanding customer centered service she delivered. With a pleasant smile, she answered all of our questions and made recommendations which were spot on! She truly represents yellow rose barbecue in an excellent fashion. Now to the food, where do I begin? My friend had the brisket taco which she said was great! I thought it was going to be the crunchy shell, but it turned out. It was not and I so wished I had gotten that cause it looked phenomenal! I had the lean brisket with the macaroni street corn and macaroni salad on the side. Both of the macaroni side dishes were outstanding and they give you large portions, which I really appreciated. The brisket had excellent flavor (the mustard sauce was great, but the original was phenomenal.). The only suggestion I can make here is be a little more generous with the brisket as they gave you a very, very small amount for the money. I love the orange thing they have going on in the tiles and in the bathrooms having the soap dispenser and towel dispenser in orange matching the trim. Overall, the friendliness of everybody, the cleanliness and the food this is a must go to establishment! Just remember the brisket portions are on the small side.

    I came in to get some BBQ to go for my shift the next day. Cool restaurant with super friendly staff. The food was great! I got the Holy Trinity with slaw, cucumber salad and the cooked cabbage. The ribs were the star meat! Some of the best ever! Sausage was good. Brisket was tender but just ok. The regular sauce was very unique and good! The slaw and cucumber salad good. But the cabbage was phenomenal! I want to try other BBQ joints. But I would come back here!

    Sandwich and two sides.
    Rebecca N.

    Nice place to dine, relax and enjoy BBQ! The sweet young lady took great care of me today. I dined in today. I got a bbq pork sandwich, two sides and water. They're only about half mile from my work location. I got the last parking spot today. The food was Devine. I got the beans with meat, pasta salad and the sandwich. It was delicious. She also gave me a to go box, since I could not eat all of it. The cucumber salad is for a co worker. It looked good. I will try that next time as a side. Pros: great customer service, delicious bbq and sides. Good location. Cons: out of their control:tight parking. There are multiple restaurants right there. Recommend? Hell to the YES!

    Fries.
    Sherika O.

    Saw this restaurant on TikTok and the food looked good. Decided to treat my niece and myself to tacos. I ordered 4 birria tacos, 5 BBQ wings, and two orders of fries. It took about 15 minutes before we got our food. It was not brought out all at the same time. We got the tacos first and waited another 5-7 minutes before we got the wings and fries. The tacos were greasy and had a lot of fat. The wings were salty. We did like the fries. When we arrived there were a few people before us and it seemed like after we ordered they got really busy. I think they needed more people to help out with orders and keeping the condiments stand filled. We were greeted when we arrived and handed a menu to look over while waiting to order. The place is really cramped on the inside. They do have patio seating. I spent $53. Overall I'd give them 2.5 out of 5. The food didn't make me want to return.

    Turkey, moist brisket, mac n cheese, seasoned fries

    It's absolutely amazing. I had the 2 meat combo with turkey and moist brisket with mac n cheese and seasoned fries. Everything is amazing. The meats were both cooked to perfection. The turkey and the brisket were seasoned really well and have very tasty bark. The sauces that he makes there are amazing as well -- I had their mustard based sauce and their spicy sauce and both are very very good. My favorite is the mustard sauce. The atmosphere is very cool with Texas themed art to go along with the name, and the restaurant was clean and tidy. The people that run it are very nice and the service was great and speedy. 10/10 -- definitely one of the best local BBQ spots in Jacksonville by far. Definitely will be going very often.

It's always a plus when the service matches the quality of the food, and he definitely made the experience even better. The brisket sandwich was excellent, full of flavor with that perfect smoky taste and really tender meat. You can tell it's done right. The pulled pork sandwich was just as impressive, juicy and packed with flavor in every bite. Both sandwiches were filling and hit the spot. The mac and cheese was great as well, creamy and rich and paired perfectly with the BBQ. It's one of those sides you don't think much about at first but end up finishing completely. Overall this place delivers on both food and service. Definitely a spot worth checking out if you're in Jacksonville and want some legit BBQ.

The food smelled amazing. People kept poking their heads in the room saying they could smell it when they got off the elevator. All of the food looked good. I made my own little food name cards to go in front so people knew what they were looking at. I do prefer when caterers provide those name cards. I will say that 4R did write what each thing was on the top of the lids, so I knew what it was prior to opening them. We got: salad, cornbread, pulled pork, Texas sausage, beef brisket, vegan burnt ends, mac and cheese, baked beans, and banana dream pudding. Salad looked good and came with all the toppings and 2 dressings. The cornbread looked and tasted amazing. 10/10 Everyone loved the pulled pork. By far the favorite. The Texas sausage smelled amazing. The beef brisket wasn't how I expected. The top layer looked fine, but the layers underneath were sitting in grease and looked to have a ton of fat on them. I've never had beef brisket before, so I'm unsure if that's normal. But to me, it didn't look good. The vegan burnt ends were so good. I actually questioned if it was actually meat (I don't eat pork anymore). I even had someone try it and only told them it was burnt ends and they didn't notice it wasn't meat. 10/10 Mac and cheese was good. Baked beans looked and smelled amazing. The banana dream pudding was 10/10 on appearance. Literally perfection; however, I tried it thinking it was regular banana pudding with extra toppings on it, but I was wrong. It almost had a lemony taste to it. I, personally, did not care for it and only had one bite. I went back and looked and it doesn't mention lemon, but it did not taste like regular banana pudding. There's something else in there, just not sure what it is. Overall, I would definitely order 4 Rivers again. They had excellent delivery, food had excellent presentation, and most of it was really good.

My family, the six of us, most who live very close, my wife and I, visiting from CA, made our usual visit to Woodpecker's during an "around Florida" vacation. We visited many spots of my youth between Jax & St. Petersburg while dining at old favorites and several BBQ joints along the way. Without a doubt, Woodpecker's Backyard Barbecue was the best by far. The last time we were there, the turkey stole a show as it was the best turkey I have ever eaten in a barbecue restaurant. This time the brisket was the number one meat, equalling or bypassing any I have had anywhere, even in the many Texas joints we have tried. It was right up there with Franklin's and other top Texas offerings. All of their meats were extremely good. Their sides are very interesting as well as good tasting utilizing a lot of dátil pepper to flavor several and add a little bite of spice. My only wish is that it was closer than the 2547 miles away that it is. If you are anywhere near woodpecker's backyard, barbecue, go. Go. Go. You will not regret it.

We opted to eat outside because inside it is a little tight, and they were quite full already.

I have lived around here for years and wondered if there was a reason why this place is always bursting at the seams on nice days. Now I know, this is some legit bbq. The portions are generous, the chicken was tender, the beef ribs were huge, and the coleslaw is very similar to a fried chicken place (with only three letter letters in its name)... Which was my most favorite coleslaw in the whole wide world. No french fries though. But the coleslaw makes up for it. I told my BF that I would absolutely travel down there (30 min) just to pick up some to-go chicken and coleslaw. He also told me that the datil pepper cornbread was deliciously spicy with a real pepper kick.
