Woodpeckers Backyard Barbeque

We were there with a party of six. The food was great, come early if you want dessert. The pages, beans and cornbread are great, the Mac Cheese is OK. The staff is very friendly and excellent when it comes to service. Dining is available in the indoor and outdoor areas. To go orders around the front of the building.

Sometimes the Gator has to leave the coast. Today we have dared the country for another extraordinary lunch at the Woodpeckers Backyard BBQ. Wasn't our first time here and won't be our last. Mrs. Gator had Ribs, Sausage, Mac Cheese and Cole Slav. I just went to Ribs, Baker and Cole Slaw. Both lunches came with plenty of butter Texas toast and we both have a linen of Sweet Tea. If you are looking for BBQ, put this place on your Go To List! It is always worth the around 140 miles round trip for us;

Favorite local BBQ! Under a bunch of old live oaks. I love this place. Good food, always hot and always delicious. Eat in or eat out. Best sweet tea ever. All meats are always delicate, love the green beans, collar, Mac and cheese, beans and Slav. We had brisket, turkey, sausage, date sausage and so on. Just so good! Everyone is so friendly that works there. There, guys, but and move. Lots of parking. I love our local BBQ.

I love BBQ, and this has been on my list of spots to try for a long time. Locals rave about this place! We wound up going right when they opened at 11am so we could dine in and not have to wait in line. This place can get packed so plan accordingly! There are several meat and side options that you typically find at many BBQ restaurants. I wound up going with the two meat plate dinner. I ordered chicken (dark meat), pulled pork, baked beans, and coleslaw. The plate comes with buttered toast. I also ordered an additional side of mac n cheese. There were several sauces to choose from such as sweet, mustard, vinegar, and more! The baked beans was the star of the meal. Probably some of the best I've ever had! The mac n cheese was average. The rest of the food was good, but I wouldn't say it's the best I've ever had (or even the best in the Jax area imo). The service was top notch! Our waitress checked in on our table frequently and always made sure our drinks were filled. Dessert is offered here, but we were all too full to try any. The only real knock is that it seemed a bit pricey compared to other spots I've been to. Granted, ongoing inflation may be impacting their pricing.

Wow! Best BBQ I?ve had in Jax, can?t wait to get back and try more! Fabulous ribs and brisket, sides are not your typical slaw and beans?awesome flavors and portions. Staff is friendly and efficient and the atmosphere is lively and comfortable. Outside seating is available too!

Looking for the best BBQ in Jax? Woodpeckers may VERY well be the place to find it. Absolutely delicious meats (especially the sausage), and classic sides will keep your attention so long as the staff isn't around to crack you up. This is true down home southern BBQ that is guaranteed to satisfy. DO NOT sleep on this place.

I have never been big into BBQ but Woodpeckers absolutely changed my mind. The brisket was a DREAM, the sauces were delicious and the ambiance was delightful. Usually when I think of a BBQ place, I anticipate sticky and messy but this place (though low key) is pristine! The service is so incredibly welcoming and kind and again the food is phenomenal. The only problem with this place is that they?ve set my standards way too high. Can?t wait to come back!
