Bono's Pit Bar-B-Q - Jacksonville

The food was very good and the portions were a nice size, The decor was nice

Just grabbed a combo for lunch. Ribs and brisket. I've always been a fan of Bonos mustard sauce and it's still very good after all these years. The ribs were big and meaty and tasted great, but the brisket was a bit dry. It was ok but not as good as expected. The baked beans were excellent too. The mac-n-cheese was terrible as I only had one small bite. Overall, the ribs were great and the brisket was ok when covered in the sauce. It was a Tuesday after lunch around 2pm. They have an outside walk up window for togo orders and we ordered after getting there. The employees were friendly and professional, and the food was ready in less than 10 minutes.

Overpriced for mediocre BBQ. Used to love this place but now it's pushing $20 for a decent sized lunch.

We eat here often and usually have an overall great experience. Today, not so much. We walk in and wait. Then one of the servers curtly says, just two, you can sit anywhere. Other times the servers say hello, have a seat anywhere and we 'll be right with you. We sit in same servers (Mikayla) area. She apparently knew the table seated after us. She spent time conversing with that table. Never checked to see if we were okay, needed refills or anything else after our food was delivered. We we ready for our check and needed a box and a refill. This server was sitting at the next table in conversation at this point. Finally catch her eye and she jumps up and tells her friend I 'll be right back. She brings our check and I then ask for a refill and a box. She delivers both and picks up our payment. When she returns the receipts and card she says nothing. Not thank you, not have a good day, nothing. Just sits the tray down and walks away. Seriously? We treated her well, said please and thank you so I was a little dismayed at why she was so inattentive. Possibly a bad day or work drama but still, rise above and perform. Left a tip even though I considered not.

This is, by far, the best Bono's in Jacksonville. The waitresses are the friendliest and the food is the best! We tried the chicken wings and the chopped pork platter. The chicken wings have a nice smoke flavor and are rather large. The chopped pork was juicy and tender. We tried the fried okra, and it was spot on along with their sweet potatoes, baked beans, and coleslaw.
