Met here for a business lunch... nice clean place somewhat out of the main part of town. Looked like they had quite a few menu options - I tried their pulled pork platter and it was quite delicious. Prices weren’t too bad either. Would definitely stop again if on the area

My husband and I have rode past this place several times and decided to stop for an early dinner. The staff is SUPER friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I asked the host what some of his favorites were and he immediately starting to decribe SEVERAL of his favorites thar made our mouths water. Our waitress was warm and friendly. She also recommended some very delicious sounding dishes. The decor of the restaurant itself is warm and inviting. Makes you feel at home and comfortable. We will DEFINITELY be returning for more delicious meals. Food is ON POINT!!!! SOOOOO DELICIOUS!!!

Got the family pack 8 piece chicken and pulled pork to go, whole family loved it. Very fair price, good portions. The fried chicken, mac and cheese, and hush puppies were some of the best we've ever had. Never write reviews but felt this place more than deserved one.

A great little place off the beaten trail. Excellent southern cuisine with unique flavoring. The BBQ swine wine flavor was excellent and the bit of heat is great without being over bearing. The flavor of the hamburger steak was great. We also had fried green tomatoes that were very good just too many fried together as doubles, my only complaint. But it certainly wasn't the taste. The service was outstanding and Johnny on the spot.

Atmosphere, food, and service were great! My wife had the brisket mack and cheese bowl, and I had the brisket sandwich with onion rings. I will recommend and return here. Thank you for the great service!

Today Penelope greeted me at the front door as I entered the all new Thig's BBQ. This is truly a phoenix that has risen from the ashes.... Most sequels are never as good as the first. However... Amy and her family and crew have knocked it out of the park.... The new restaurant maintains much of the charm of the original... many of the same great menu items... and even some of the original crew.... and it's beautiful!! Being a master chef, I am and always have been pretty picky about the food I eat. Tonight I had the very best smothered chicken I have had in my life.... Their three cheese macaroni and cheddar is to die for... and the Italian Green beans just right. Portions are good sized, prices extremely reasonable for the quality... and the service off the charts good. The new location is handicap accessible... and... To top it off... they even have a great little culinary gift shop also. Two things I have missed since moving back to Hubert from Southwest were a little church I used to visit and Thigs. When they had that devastating fire a few years ago it was like losing an old friend. It is so exciting to have them back.... and as good as ever, and maybe... just a bit better. The restaurant is located at 1722 Catherine Lake Rd, Jacksonville, in the same footprint of the original.... As I said.... the new restaurant is AWESOME!! JM

I ordered the take out combo family pack. All the food was delicious! I placed my order online and then went to pick it up. While waiting I was asked by not one but *three* employees whether I'd been helped yet. They were all so nice! This was my first time in the restaurant since they reopened. The building looks great! They did a great job.
