Jacksonville loves its barbeque and there are certainly plenty of barbeque joints to choose from. Mojo Barbeque is local choice outside the chains. The warmly-colored walls are ornamented with funky portraits of blues and country singers. As the blue neon in the window boldly declares, Mojo Barbeque is “A Southern Blues Kitchen.” A center for barbeque and down-home Southern cooking, Mojo’s has been in business for over two years. As owner Todd Lineberry says, “The food speaks for itself.”

A scrumptious assortment of appetizers are available, like the Mojo’s famous fried onion rings, chili cheese fries, pulled pork quesadillas, Mississippi catfish fingers and fried chicken strips to name a few. The onion rings are a favorite, thickly sliced, twice breaded and served with a creamy buttermilk ranch dressing.

He makes everything from scratch, including his customers’ favorite, the sauces. However, Lineberry believes “when you drown good barbecue with sauce, it’s like pouring a bottle of A1 on a Ruth’s Chris Steak!”
