31 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Dunedin

“Great little place for patio dining. Had the 1/4 chicken with rice and fried plantain. Wow! Huge servings and great tasting food. Washed down with a great sangria. Definitely will go again.“

“My Memphis born husband stopped smoking pork and beef when we discovered Eli's. Whenever family visits, getting Eli's BBQ is a MUST. WE have enjoyed their pork, beef, beans,, coleslaw and sauce for many gatherings. Most recently we hosted a very large party. All the food was so good, people wanted to know where we got it! Ronni and the staff are good, caring people. The value ion the food, the service and the warmth of the owners and staff make it a "gotta come back again often" place. At this time there is road work being done in front, that makes it a bit difficult to get to, but it is worth the effort. It's right on the Dunedin Trail, so you can go by bike, or walk a bit further than you are used to on Douglas..“

“Tender meats, flavorful sides, and end it with a sweet treat! Patmon’s BBQ is simply top notch!“

“Had the quesadilla and nachos. They were great!“

“Had a large party- service excellent and server very efficient and pleasant.

Fun atmosphere, upbeat.

Food- well $25 for sliced corned beef ( very fatty) and a very small portion of bone-in chicken with decent baked beans, (which were very good) and a small side of garlic mashed potatoes ( not creamy nor hot)

Suggestions? Leaner corned beef, larger chicken portion as well as mashed potatoes ( low cost item to put out, cost pennies to serve larger portion)
$25 price point is high unless above improvements are made.

My friends beef brisket looked like a nice portion and enjoyed.
Will be back and hope management takes review as constructive criticism in a very hard and competitive business-

Will definately be back and hope to see these small changes inproved on!“

“We had a rehearsal dinner for approximately 40 people this past week. Talked to Emma! She was so amazing. I want to make sure the owner of this establishment knows how valuable she is to the restaurant. She was so kind and accommodating. She single-handedly served all 40 of us. She is a wonderful person, and it was one of the highlights of our entire wedding weekend. It was so good, in fact, that my wife and I and a few of our children came back on Sunday and she served us again. God bless you, Emma!“

“I am 70 yrs old and I still had my share of ribs. These were the very best ribs i have ever had. And i do not like Smokey foods. My hats off to the chef!!!!“

“I ate there yesterday for the first time. I live in a different city, but the food was so good, the people so nice, that I'm thinking of going back today(even though I will be back in Tarpon tomorrow)! The prices were great, service quick. I ate inside, and soooo enjoyed it“

“Best Ribs ! Friendly Service! We will be back soon. 👍“

“The managers both Carlie and Justin were both very accommodating when I called to make a reservation for 20 to celebrate a birthday at the restaurant. Our server Devon did an outstanding job and was absolutely fine regarding our request for multiple checks. The food was simply delicious and the prices were reasonable. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake and they served it for no extra charge. We were all extremely happy with the service provided and will definitely return!!“

“We were there on a Sunday evening and it was a little quieter than usual (Friday and Saturday evenings when we typically go). Service was excellent - everyone was so attentive! Food was beautifully presented and delicious, as was my martini. The bartender even came over to see how it was. Great evening - loved every aspect of the experience.“

“I met Dominic in passing and my do I tell you he is a great individual and I think he’s a great people person. Although he is not host I strongly feel he’d benefit from that position. Thank you Dom for making me and my husband laugh with your wit. You only come across a good soul every one blue moon.“

“The Pig as locals call it is amazing, I have tried so many of their dishes over the years & have never had a bad meal or experience. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend their establishment.“

“It's simply the best!!!“

“Some of the best BBQ I've had. It truly was the best brisket I've ever had, the rub crust on the outside is tasty and left me wanting more. The tomato cucumber salad was more sweet than vinegary and I liked it. The collards were okay but I prefer a little spice in mine. Next time I'm trying the potato salad because it looked delicious. Didn't get to try the burnt ends because they were all out, but next time. The menu is unusual and they seem to push by the pound meat but just order from the third portion of the menu and you'll be fine. It is in an unassuming strip center next to Thornton's but it's a sweet little restaurant inside with a fair amount of seating. I mean it was freezing and I hate those metal chairs but they had tvs to distract and the young people working there were very nice and polite and the girl behind the counter explained things very well. They have a small container with ice and a few types of beers and white claws if you like. We WILL be back because we've found our favorite BBQ!“

“We love Reel BBQ! The Brisket is the best we've ever had!“

“Brendan behind the bar is the absolute best. Every cocktail is out of this world, and the food is just as good. Atmosphere is very cool too. Great addition to the area.“

“Some of the best barbecue i've had. Love that smoky flavor and they give you plenty of it.“

“Absolutely delicious! My boyfriend loved the ribs. I'm vegetarian but was able to feast on the yummiest corn bread and potato salad. I highly recommend!“

“100 stars!
This is the real deal bbq.
Nothing fancy and no phoo phoo BS just authentic barbecued food with all the traditional trimmings including sweet potato pie, smoked collard greens...the works.
Carryout only...best eaten outdoors IMHO.“

“great service, great food, everyone so sweet. 10/10 recommend.“

“Great food, and amazing staff i proposed last night and they were so kind with cookies, with ice cream on top and hearts drawn from chocolate and whipped cream. Thank you 😊“

“I would definitely recommend the Rib Dinner, owner was super nice and definitely got me right.“

“My go to several times a week. Staff is awesome and subs are also!“

“I just left your restaurant after a great meal. I would like to commend Taylor and Andrew for their awesome service. I felt their aloha spirit and wait to come back.“

“LongHorn Steakhouse is one of our Go-Tos in Michigan, so why not try it in Florida? Ashley was our server and the service was excellent, food was HOT, Fresh and Delicious! Parmasean Crusted Chicken, Loaded Baked Potato, 12oz Ribeye (Cooked perfectly), Mashed potatoes and Steakhouse Mac & Cheese were all phenomenal! Kudos to the crew working on a Monday night.

“My husband and I were recently in the area to help family with cleanup after Helene. We decided to check out Smokey Bones as it was not too far from our hotel. We went along with family and overall we were very happy with the place. We liked the food but I thought the chili was on the sweet side...which I personally don't like. The best part about our meal was our server Brittany. We went back a second time and we were lucky to have Brittany as our server again. She was very friendly and entertaining. If we ever go back to Fl, we will definitely stop by.“

“Never been to this place before I tried it out for the first time today let me tell you it was phenomenal. Everything was hot fresh delicious the service was fast people making the food we're friendly overall great experience I highly recommend trying it out“
