I've yet to find a place that is better than average.

Anything even remotely like Fat Matt's in Atlanta?

The pig bbq...simple juicy and oh so good.

A good lunch spot for ribs is Checkers BBQ at 3566 St Augustine Rd.  He even makes his own BBQ sauce on site with no corn syrup.

I do my own, haven't really found a great place here.

Toby's on New Kings Rd just south of 295 on the Northside.

You're gonna need to be a tad more specific. 

If you want baby-backs - TCs at Lem Turner & Edgewood (also a fantastic Carolina mustard sauce)

If you want Wet ribs - Bono's at Lane & Ramona

If you want Dry ribs - Mojo #4 in Avondale

I'm by far not an expert, but I've eaten them in enough places to know what to order and where.

I like Toby's, but it's not worth the drive to me.  The Pig is good and consistent.  Sonny's is Sonny's.....

There's another BBQ place, Gators, right off of Cahoon & Beaver at the Marietta exit that some friends of mine swear by, but I haven't actually had.

Sorry to hear that.  I haven't worked on Lem Turner in over a year and a half.  I used to go there about once a week for the better part of 5 years.  The family that owned it was part of the Cotton family of Cotton's BBQ off of Main St. if I'm not mistaken.

Moreso than the ribs, I was a huge fan of their 1/4 chicken lunch....

Bono's...Bono's...the boss of BBQ. Not a big BBQ guy, but that jingle is catchy as hell though. DUUUUVALL! :)

That's one of my favorite spots for their seafood buffet on the weekends. I've followed Chef Art since he moved his cooking from the northside at Palms Fish Camp.

I do agree with a poster below Mojos for dry rub. I prefer dry rub over sauced myself. A hole in the wall place is at the corner of Cassat and Blanding, at the Lakeshore grocery, where they sell produce, but they smoke meats every day. Their brisket is succulent as in on par with Mojo's.

4 Rivers isn't bad either, but I like their peppery sauce.

Fatt Matt's is a low bar considering they don't smoke any meat and cook everything in an oven.

Gators BBQ on the Westside is my favorite BBQ place in Jax.  The ribs are pretty good.

I love the brisket the most.

Try the ribs at Culinary Outfitters in St Augustine. They only have them on Wednesday 11-2pm . Get there early because they run out sometimes. They are very tender & the meat falls off the bone. Good sauce too.

Good to know.
