Ribs were very good, collard greens were amazing and so was the mac and cheese. The sweet tea was maybe a little too sweet, overwhelmed the flavor. The pork was also not great, not bad but it had a storebought taste (maybe just the sauce) overall I’d be back but there’s better bbq in town.Parking: Not a lot of parking around the truck, it’s right outside of a neighborhood.

Went to Terrell's last night. I've ordered from them many times over the years and I'm usually very happy. Last night I ordered a half slab with sauce on the side. Also, cold slaw, which again they had none. I paid with cash and tipped. When I got home and opened the container we were shocked. Maybe one third of the ribs were good. The rest were empty bones, small charred pieces of ribs and pieces of skin. I don't like writing bad reviews. Mr. Terrell is a very good man. I doubt he knows this is happening. I think his employees really don't care. Sadly, I doubt I will return. They used to be a really good place. One star is more then they deserve for last night. Very disappointed.

I usually have a great experience at Terrell's. But today I can't say that, the ribs are burnt and tough. Who serves someone burnt ribs? Like really! I could never! I strongly suggest you check your food before you leave. I didn't today and now I'm writing this review. Lesson learned! $16 WASTED.

I've tried eating here twice and they were out of beef and pork both times. I don't know what else one would eat at a barbecue restaurant...or why the establishment would bother to stay open with nothing to serve.

I don't get the same results each time or be hit or miss

Not good. 5 stars for the tenderness of the ribs, but Greens were bitter(taste like greens from a can), bbq sauce on ribs were too tangy, Mac and cheese just wasn't right. No southern style to this at all.Ordered a Lemonade, bomb good?!Sweet potato pie, ??Wouldn't eat again

Food is great, only bad thing is the dusty dirt driveway and waiting area.

Since graduating from UF in 2007, I've enjoyed the gem that Terrell's BBQ is. When returning to Gainesville, from Duval County it is a ritual for us to look for a Terrell's...and definitely stop. Today the slab we ordered was delectable but to my grave disappointment was informed no bread comes with them. They're lack of accommodation made me feel our loyalty was not valued and even when deciding to pay for some bread --intended to order 3 rib sandwiches--a slab made more sense and cents. Eventually, we were offered a "whole 2 PIECES OF BREAD " for a SLAB. Once getting back on the road...I looked for the bread ...and guess what? Nowhere to be found! In the grand scheme of things, This was completely unnecessary & my impression of this gem is sullied--I'm hopeful it was just an oversight by the Terrell's staff & that from a business sense, Mgt there will think broader of the consequences of this encounter & potentially others like it. It definitely makes me hesitant to request bread with a slab of rib IF I DECIDE TO PATRONIZE TERRELL'S going forward.

Best ribs I've ever eaten.... tender as can be, almost no bone, a perfect balanced sauce, and a piece of white bread at the bottom to sop up anything left over!!! I had the baked beans with mine, and I gotta say they were much better than Sonny'sTerrell's, you have definitely won a chef over tonight. Thank you for the excellent meal!
