Jacksonville knows its barbecue — and right now, the city's appetite for BBQ chicken and ribs has never been more alive.

 

With a storied local institution recently announcing its closure after nearly seven decades, Jacksonville residents are actively searching for the next great pit stop — and My Season Chicken and Ribs is answering that call with smoke, soul, and serious flavor.

 

Tucked into the Northside on Lem Turner Road, this neighborhood gem has built something most restaurants only dream about: a following that shows up week after week, not out of habit, but out of devotion.

 

The man behind the pit doesn't just cook — he creates.

 

Every rack of ribs and every seasoned piece of chicken that comes off the grill is driven by one obsession: customer satisfaction.

 

That philosophy runs deep at My Season Chicken and Ribs, where the goal has always been to deliver the best barbecue restaurant Jacksonville FL has to offer at a price that respects the people who walk through the door.

 

In a restaurant landscape where quality often takes a back seat to profit, My Season takes the opposite stance.

 

Weekly specials keep things exciting and accessible — Two-Piece Tuesdays bring dark meat and sliced bread for just a couple of dollars, while Beef Brisket Saturdays have become a Northside ritual for those who know.

 

Fish Fridays round out a weekly lineup that gives regulars something to look forward to every single day the doors are open.

 

And for those seeking chicken and ribs Jacksonville without the meat, vegan options are on the menu too — a forward-thinking touch that broadens the welcome.

 

What truly sets this spot apart, though, is the relationship between the pitmaster and his people.

 

Customers aren't just transactions here — they're family.

 

Feedback is welcomed, connections are genuine, and loyalty is earned one plate at a time.

 

My Season Chicken and Ribs is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 AM to 7 PM — stop by, order at the counter, and taste exactly what Jacksonville has been missing.

    Went for the first time last Friday for the fish and ended up getting ribs too. Couldn't help myself

    Good bbq in Jacksonville is not easy to find. People think Florida doesn't have a bbq culture but we do and places like this prove it

    The brisket on Saturdays sold out before I got there last week. Next time I'm going right when they open

    Counter service which means no waiting on a server to take your order. Get your food and go. I actually prefer it that way

    I'm a little skeptical because a lot of places get hyped up and then the food is just okay. But I'll give it a shot based on what people are saying

    Took my kids last Tuesday for the two piece deal and they ate every single bite. Kids are picky so that says everything

    The pitmaster actually comes out and talks to you sometimes. That's rare. Most spots you never even see who's cooking your food

    Seven decades that other place was open and now it's gone. Jacksonville needed somewhere new to carry that torch

    Haven't been yet but after reading all these comments I feel like I've been missing out for too long

    My coworker brought some ribs to work one day and I literally asked her where she got them before she even sat down

    Born and raised on the Northside and this spot represents exactly what the community is about. Good food good people

    Hours are Tuesday through Saturday 11 to 7 so plan accordingly. I made the mistake of showing up on a Monday once

    I appreciate that they actually listen to feedback. Went once and mentioned something and they actually remembered next time I came in. That means a lot

    The chicken here reminds me of what my grandma used to make. That seasoning is something serious

    Brisket on Saturdays is a whole ritual for my crew. We pull up early because it goes fast

    Real talk the prices are what gets me. Good bbq that doesn't cost you half a paycheck is hard to find these days

    I live right off Lem Turner and I had no idea this place was even there. Going tomorrow for real

    Ordered the ribs last Saturday and they were falling off the bone. Not even exaggerating

    The fact that they have vegan options at a bbq spot is actually really cool. My sister doesn't eat meat and we can never find somewhere to go together

    Fish Fridays too?? This place sounds like it does it all honestly

    When that other place closed I was devastated. Been looking for a new spot ever since. Gonna have to try this one out

    Lem Turner road has some hidden gems and this is definitely one of them. People sleep on the Northside too much

    Glad someone is finally talking about this place. My family has been going for a while now and the chicken is seasoned so good

    Two piece Tuesdays for a couple dollars?? That's a deal I can get behind every single week

    Beef Brisket Saturdays are no joke. I drove 20 minutes from the Southside just to get there before they sold out.
