LOVE Tom Jenkins. My husband and I drove down from Cocoa on a whim just to have it and then drove back.

Tom Jenkins is a somewhat legendary bbq place in Fort Lauderdale. Because of that, the line is long so be prepared, and maybe have someone in your group grab a seat while the rest order. They have pretty classic bbq menu, with meat options by the pound and a few sides. I wanted to try different things since it was my first time there, so I got the two-meat dinner with brisket and chicken. It's a very good price for the amount and quality of food Everything was very good, fresh, and flavorful. My only thing is that the brisket was a little fatty for my taste-although I know that some people prefer it that way. Overall, it's a great, no-nonsense place with amazing food, and I believe it's family-owned.

Today I visited for the millionth time this restaurant. It never disappoints, the ribs were perfect, the corn on the cob was great, the corn bread... is to die for... the baked beans are delicious . Go visit!!! They are closed Sundays and Mondays... plan! You won't be disappointed.

Grabbed take out for a quick dinner and was absolutely delighted with the food! Whether you eat in or out the quality is always great, total comfort food. We had a half chicken combo and chopped pork (yummy) with an extra side of collards, a must have! The sides are great and will satisfy everyone in your family and don't forget the cornbread. If you happen to have any room for dessert, it's a true treat. Service was quick and the dining room is always clean. Picnic tables and wall counters are available for eat in and you may make a new friend!

Coming in it was pretty crowded, so there was definitely a wait for food. We Really enjoyed the ribs more than the brisket. The barbecue sauce is really good. Surprisingly the corn bread was good as well!

If I'm back in Lauderdale, this is a definite stop. It's a small typical BBQ joint. Great food, great sides. I like the two meat platter and two sides. The collard greens are perfectly cooked. Some places make the collard greens really salty or super spicy, but not this place. They are perfectly prepared. You can't go wrong with anything you get here.

Great Bbq, great service and reasonable prices. Came here for lunch today and had a great experience. The moment you pull into the parking lot the smells hit you and you know you're about to eat something great. I had the two meat combo dinner with Baby Back Ribs, Brisket, Mac and Cheese, and potato salad. The baby back ribs were definitely the star of the show here. They were sweet, smokey, and tender. The brisket was decent as well. Coming from Houston, I have pretty high standards on bbq and this place hit the spot.

We were heading to another restaurant for lunch and for me to review it; but when we got there, it was closed. We were hungry. And I remembered that Tom Jenkins was nearby. Parking is tricky; it's on the south side of the restaurant and goes from the side into a back area. There are plenty of spots. This place often has lines out the door. But at lunchtime on a Wednesday, it was not a very long wait (about 10 minutes). However, there is a heavy business of take-out orders. The dining area is clean and neat and seats about 30. The clientele seemed to be mostly men having a hearty lunch. Service was quick, not particularly friendly, just businesslike. We got the slab of ribs with two sides--cole slaw and greens. The ribs were done just right, and they were meaty. The sauce, on the side, was good. The cole slaw was a bit sweet but tasty. The greens were just right. Not too salty. We got more food than we anticipated (about 12 ribs) and had enough leftovers for dinner. My absolute favorite was the corn muffin. Definitely made fresh, but it tasted like they made their own cornmeal. :-) I got an extra one for dessert. Our meal was $30.99 but there was a surcharge to use a credit card. With tax we spent a little under $35 but got lunch and dinner.

Best bbq places near my job . Highly recommended. Brisket and turkey was so tasty . Place is always clean and inviting as well.
