MOJO Smokehouse BBQ & Blues

The food here is consistent and always fairly decent. I think the prices aren't bad either.The service was friendly and attentive when we visited last and we were seated promptly, despite it being lunchtime on Saturday. The booths aren't the most comfortable, but they're not bad for two people. We enjoyed our pulled pork and smoked chicken with various sides. The cheese grits were pretty tasty and I'd recommend them over the coleslaw I picked as a side dish. I think using new "real" plates (rather than the old blue melamine ones they've got) would go a long way towards improving my impression of this place. It's clear that it's in need of something new or fresh on the inside. That being said, I've never had an issues with the quality or taste of the food.

We really enjoyed the food! I ordered for pickup and when I got there, somehow my order was lost but they were really quick to fix it and get me on my way. Since we had never tried it before, we ordered the whole hawg so we could try a lot of different things. We also got side salads, green beans and coleslaw as well as burnt ends. Brisket, dry but flavorful Turkey, moist and tastyChicken, skin was tough and rubbery, good flavor in the meat. Ribs, tough but tastySausage, great flavor and snapPulled pork, deliciousBurnt ends, my favorite!!Green beans, yummyColeslaw, cool, crisp, not overdressedTossed salad, goodBlue Cheese dressing, GREAT!Weirdly sweet croutons, no.

Mojo has some of THE Best BBQ in JAX!!The smoked meats are always moist and delicious!! The staff is always welcoming and polite! The restaurant itself is always clean and relaxing! A GREAT place to have some down home BBQ!!

Stopped in for dinner with a friend and we decided on BBQ. I'm tired of pulled pork so was excited to go to Mojo's because I've been to the one in Avondale years ago and thought it was good.For the time we went in, there was hardly any one there and made me worry that the area had given up on this location or something else was going on in the town. The location is nice next to the theater and some other restaurants. Inside was very roomy and clean.Our appetizer was the fried pickles [no picture sadly] very good! They were well seasoned plus thick and crispy. I would get this again. The Brunswick stew was nice and thick; however, it being a BBQ place they had to put their take on it and it was a little salty with the shredded BBQ mixed in. The jalapeno cornbread that came with it was amazing; I would just order a side of this to go with my bbq versus the hardly toasted bread.My friend got the burnt ends with Mac&Cheese and collards. The sides were delicious, but the actual burnt ends looked amazing but were ICE COLD according to my friend. I got the BBQ Reuben which had nice thick cuts of brisket and slaw; it did need some Mojo Sauce to improve the sandwich. I didn't like that the brisket was trimmed cause my last bite of each half the sandwich had HUGE pieces of fat. Wished they put more of the mac in the on your plate, it was very rich and creamy.The service was great, but whoever is at the pass between the kitchen and dining area needs to check the food better, especially if the dining room isn't busy IMHO.

Food was very good and service was great. A little pricey. I really liked the sweet potatoes and jalapeño cornbread.

Walked in at 4:20 on a Friday afternoon. I was seated promptly. After 5 minutes, the "hostess/bus-person took my drink order. The bartender called out to say they'd be right with me but it took 15 minutes for anyone to take my order. The place was practically empty , maybe 3 customers at the bar and 2 other tables. Several "staff" members roaming around and chit chatting but nobody waited on me. The food came out in less than 5 minutes (you make your own judgement on that). Collard greens and black eyed peas tasted fresh and homemade. The half rack of ribs were tasty but on the tough/chewy side. The tab for half rack of ribs, two sides and a Diet Pepsi....$27.90!!! I don't get down this way much but next time I do, I won't be eating at MOJO's where the motto is "Be Nice or Leave"...so I did.

We visit here quite often. The food is always good and we haven't had a bad meal yet. Service is always fast and the atmosphere is very nice with music always playing in the background.

Great barbecue with a larger number of sauces than I've seen elsewhere. We had the pulled pork and it was a joy. The sweet potato mash was also a delight. But the star of the show for my money was the Onion Rings. Wait, let me give them their due: The OMYGODNION RINGS. Remember all those times you've ordered the onion rings at other places and you've been lucky to get four or five onion rings? Well, brethren and sistren, MOJO is clearly on a mission to address that crime against NomNom Time. The four of us requested two orders of Onion Rings and Holy Toshiro Mifune each plate had at least eight rings and these were monstrously huge rings in a loaf of batter! I wept (metaphorically).Now, the Texas Toast was a bit of a letdown, but maybe they're a work in progress. The place was clean, the music and decor excellent (Muddy Waters, Waylon, etc.), and service was FANTASTIC - really fantastic.We'll be back again and again and again and again...

Went with a group of 7 last night for dinner and Mojo's did not disappoint! From the start, we were greeted and helped by a young man who immediately started putting a table together for our group. But while we waited for him to do that, we were greeted by two other ladies in less than a minute asking us if we had been helped as well. Ms Nina was our waitress and she was just phenomenal and extremely patient with us the entire time. We had a few that were unsure about what they wanted to eat, but Ms Nina made sure not to pressure us or linger. She tended to us so well and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the pulled pork, collard greens, grits and a piece of my friend's sliced brisket and it was all so good! Portions were very generous in my opinion and just about everyone went home with a take home box. We even had a little with us that was by far the chattiest of the group and Ms Nina was so nice to even chat with her too LOL! My friend and I were visiting from out of state, but Mojo's absolutely has been our best meal by far on this vacation! Side note...that sweet tea was on point! They don't serve sweet tea where we live and being from the south, it just really made my night. Amazing food, generous portions, clean establishment, and outstanding customer service from such friendly staff!

The reviews looked pretty good so I decided to try it. The food came out quickly (to go order). The ribs flavor was minimal, the greens were not seasoned at ALL, and the mac n cheese was decent. They gave me a spoon full of barbecue sauce for 5 ribs and a pull pork sandwich (no picture). The food definitely needed the extra sauce. Probably wouldn't eat here again.
