About Coast Spot
Coast Spot is a weekend brunch bbq spot in Jacksonville, FL, with a no-frills feel and a sunlit dining room with banquettes along one wall. The kitchen leans into bbq done well, milling their own flour in-house each morning.
The signature item to try first is the Burnt Ends, which has earned a loyal following. The rest of the menu rounds it out with options like Brisket Plate, Pulled Pork Sandwich, Smoked Ribs, plus rotating specials that change with the season.

On a typical day you'll find a steady mix of office workers, students, and curious tourists, especially around the lunch and dinner rushes.

The dining room is clean, the music is at a reasonable volume, and the wifi works.
For ordering, catering trays for offices and parties can be ordered with 24 hours notice. Regulars say the staff remembers their order after only two or three visits.

I work nearby and stop in at least twice a week. The Burnt Ends hits every time. Service is quick, the space is clean, and they take dietary requests seriously which I appreciate. Easy five stars from me.
Mixed feelings. The Brisket Plate was excellent and the cashier was friendly, but my side came out cold and they were out of two of the things I wanted to order. Probably worth another try, but not the experience I was hoping for.
Great bbq option for the area. The Mac & Cheese was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
Hidden gem. We were in the neighborhood for an appointment and stopped here based on a friend's recommendation. So glad we did. The Smoked Ribs was unreal — clearly made with care. We're already planning our next visit.
Coast Spot has become my regular weekday lunch. Consistent quality, generous portions, and the staff has started to recognize me. I usually grab the Cornbread but I've worked through most of the menu and haven't had a miss yet.
Solid spot. The Mac & Cheese is a standout — bold flavors, well-seasoned, comes out hot. Took off a star only because the wait at the counter was longer than I expected on a weekday. Still, I'd come back without hesitation.
