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...read full review
Eli’s is located close to downtown Dunedin and offers up a slice of authentic southern BBQ. There’s a sign on the side of the building that will let you know what’s for sale and at what times. The chopped sausage sandwich, baked beans, and lemonade are the best options in my opinion. It’s cash only and only open Friday and Saturday. Don’t miss out trying this place!
Only place local that ROCKS the PIT! A must stop get there early when it’s gone it’s gone but so worth it.

Eli's Bar-B-Que is a beloved spot, worth the trip from South Sarasota and beyond. It serves great traditional BBQ at reasonable prices, with wonderful people behind the counter. Favorites include the ribs, beans, and brisket, which are all consistently delicious. This place is known for real smokers, doing BBQ the right way. While it’s a walk-up window with no formal ambiance, the friendly staff and picnic tables create a pleasant dining experience. Customers often mention the caring and nice people on the staff, making it a "gotta come back again often" place. Note that it's a cash-only establishment, but the value in the food, service, and warmth of the staff more than makes up for it. Although there is road work in front making access a bit difficult, it is right on the Dunedin Trail, allowing visitors to bike or walk a bit further than usual on Douglas.
