My husband and I got double meat. Husband has St louis ribs ans Briskey. I had burnt ands and brisket. Our son had pulled pork sandwich. All was fantastic. My son was very full with leftover but said the brownie was so yummy he had to eat. My husband and I had a lot of left over. Nice size portions.
Thank you, it was fabulous.

Ribs and chicken were tasty. White sauce could be a little thicker. Meat fell off the bones. Only problem was that if you pay with a credit card they upcharge the bill without telling you. I asked before paying but Businesses ARE required to disclose a credit card surcharge. YES! Credit card surcharges must be disclosed before purchase. Most credit card companies require merchants to disclose credit card surcharges on a sign at the store's point of entry and point of sale, and on the receipt.

It pains me to put a review like this but the BBQ + sides were not good and the sauces weren't able to salvage the meal. Despite going there shortly after open, the food looked stale and old and tasted like it looked. I hate posting pictures of the "after" but in this case, I was so underwhelmed that I forgot to take before pics.
I ordered it the Pit Pile for $34.99 since this was my first time and I wanted to see what they offered locally. Below is what I received and how I rated them each.
Pulled pork: 1/10 - they do serve pulled pork but it appears to be pork shoulder (picnic). Yes, both are from the shoulder but the butt is fattier and the shoulder is leaner. I was not expecting a massive glob of shoulder skin fat and to add insult to injury, it was unseasoned at that.
0 - it was extremely fatty - which is how I like my brisket - however, this brisket was overcooked and underseasoned. The meat had a roast beef-like texture and was grayish in color. There appears to be a problem with their resting or holding temp/time/process.
Dark chicken: 4/10 - dry and flavorless.
Jalepeno sausage link: 9.5/10 - this was by far the best item on the plate. It was juicy and the jalapeno flavor was potent without being spicy. Very well done.
3 bones of Baby Back 0 - dry and almost inedible. They should follow a 3-2-1 method and it would come out better.
Smoked macaroni: 1/10 - zero smoke flavor and the pasta was mushy and really needed more salt or butter to give it some kind of flavor; over-boiled pasta is the worst.
Brisket Baked beans: 0/10 - no smoke, no brisket flavor, not much of anything. Almost like they toss in week old brisket into Buschs baked beans and say - voila! - brisket baked beans. Spice it up with mustard, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and it would be better.
Cornbread muffin: 5/10 - dry mini muffin that just took the moisture out of my mouth.

Pulled pork, baked beans and Mac and cheese were awesome. Corn bread was soft and cooked just right. Cory had great conversation. Funny and had me laughing whole time i was eating. Any time I can support any police officers, fireman, nurses, military or any members who sacrifice so much, the least i can do is support them. I’m all in with Legacy BBQ. I highly recommend them

Absolutely awesome BBQ!
Very unassuming. I wouldn't have known it was there if a friend hadn't recommended it.
Fall off the bone ribs and chicken. Tender and flavorful brisket. Fresh onion rings.
110% recommend.

It was good bbq. Generally happy with it. Food temperature was a little cool. Tater tots were greasy and soggy. Corn bread was dry and bland. I hope they can improve these little things.

My husband and I shopped at the nearby outlet mall and treated ourselves to Legacy BBQ. The brisket is tender and tasty enough to eat without sauce. The coleslaw and fried okra were so yummy, but the sweet tea and cornbread were even better. If you get a chance you have to go!

My husband and I always say it’s impossible to find good bbq in Florida + Bill has outdone himself. Everything is delicious and you can tell it’s homemade. We love this local joint + so does our extremely picky one year old!

Landon was so kind and helpful, food was REALLY good… only downfall was the iced tea. It tasted old, i highly recommend brewing fresh tea daily as that stuff turns in the urn, and bbq and sweet tea go together like peas and carrots.
Brisket A+

Heard about it from my husband, so I said let's go for lunch. We split The Pit Pile. Plenty of food for 2 and a great way to sample various meats. It also comes with 2 sides. The beans cannot be beat!

We hired Legacy Barbecue to cater our construction event on October 24, 2024. Where we provided lunch for 75 of our construction workers, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive! Bill and Corey from Legacy Barbecue were extremely easy to work with, being responsive and guiding us through every decision. Many attendees raved about the food. Although we considered Mission Barbecue, we opted for Legacy to support a local business, especially in light of the community's recovery from two hurricanes. Their commitment to giving back truly resonated with us, aligning with our company values. You could tell the ingredients were fresh, and Bill and Corey clearly take pride in their work. If you're thinking about hosting an event or just need a great lunch spot, I can assure you won’t be disappointed. We will definitely be repeat customers!
