About this business

Tom Jenkins Bar-B-Q was originally founded as a roadside shack, and has grown through the years with the help of a loyal following. Now housed in a restaurant space, the menu is still fairly bare bones, with pork, beef, and chicken offered how the diner would like them prepared. There's a "meat only" menu for those who want all the meat without the sides. Don't miss this authentic barbecue joint in Fort Lauderdale.

Tom Jenkins' is Unreal! – I live in Weston and have to make the trip to Downtown Fort Lauderdale to pick up Tom Jenkins' Bar-B-Q. Everything is great! However, you must try the baked beans and sweet tea. This place is family owned and operated and you feel welcome there. Worth the trip if you do not live in Fort Lauderdale. I know of a friend that lives in Miami Beach and he often drives up to Fort Lauderdale just to get some Tom Jenkins. Don't bother going on Monday, as this is there day off! They also cater.

Damn Good Chicken – I'm on a low carb diet so there isn't much to choose from when you want to eat something that tastes really good so I decided to pick up a whole chicken from Tom Jenkins. You have your option of sauce on th side which really works out for me and on top of that it tastes so damn good, you seem to forget your on a diet in the first place. I go there everyday and don't get sick of it, but if you are on a diet I suggest you get takeout because everything else is just as good or even better you might not to st... read more

barbeque so good that... – I'm a California kid and CA is not bbq country, so I've had less than my share of top-notch cue. That said, my first meal at Tom Jenkins' damn near brought tears to my eyes. Every item on the plate was the best version of itself I'd ever had. Best smoked pork; best sauce; best mac & cheese; best greens; even (believe it or not) the best corn muffin. You can travel the world for gourmet cooking and then feel a bizarre enlightenment over your styrofoam plate at this place. Much more of a relgious foo... read more

Addicting BBQ! – If you want real southern BBQ, this is the place. You get in line to order your food. Then you get to sit on picnic tables. The restaurant walls have vintage concert posters from the 60's and Motown playing in the background.
