3 Sons Bar-B-Q

UPDATED:
This place and the owners are just Awesome! On Oct 17th my wife and I hosted our Son and Daughter in Laws rehearsal dinner at 3 Sons. There are really not enough stars for it. Rockin Robin and her husband are just the best people. All of their staff were super friendly and did a wonderful job making all of the wedding party feel welcome. The food is fantastic and everything was so so good! They worked with us to make sure everyone had plenty to eat, and plenty to drink. I will tell you the price for all of it, food, alcohol, and tip was not only fair, but just fantastic! If you’re in this area, please go here and eat. You’ll get a great meal, served by wonderful people at a fair price.
I don’t have any pictures of the food…lol. We were too busy just having a great time. Congratulations to Garrett and Taylor😊❤️.

Post from July….Everything was really good! They make a BBQ Margarita. Seriously. I’m still shocked that I liked it and it was good!

I've been coming to Florida for a good part of the year every year since 2013, and ever since this place opened up it has become the one spot that my brother and I always eat at while in the panhandle. There's a couple of reasons; the first and most obvious is that the food is incredible. The barbecue doesn't even really need any sauce because the flavor is so strong without being overpowering that you can eat comfortably and appreciate the smoked flavor of the meat more than the sweetness of any sort of sauce. The sides are made with love and care - The baked beans in particular have a treacly stickiness that indicates that they have been cooked the right way for a long time. The banana pudding is made to order, so quickly that even if you are watching them make it you might miss it. It tastes so good it'll make you slap your grandma in the mouth. The staff is all extremely friendly, I was just there recently and I was taking a small video, and the owner offered to let me take a video of the smokers, which I did. He didn't have to do that but he's just a genuinely friendly guy doing what he loves for a living. If you can't appreciate eating at a place like that, I don't really know what to tell you. I highly recommend any fan of barbecue come here to eat... Or to play Golden tee golf, which is the best restaurant arcade game known to man.

when i tell you this is the best bbq i’ve ever had, i truly mean it!! we came in just craving some bbq and stumbled upon 3 sons.

we ordered the rib plate with mac and cheese, and coleslaw and the baked potato with pulled pork.

these ribs were absolutely fall off the bone, had a great smoke penetration, and super juicy. i’ve had bbq in the past and it’s usually dry and has that generic “bbq” taste. these do not have that at all. you taste a beautiful smokey flavor with the delicious meat. the pulled pork was great as well and had a tasty bark.

sides were great too, but nothing special. mac and cheese was your typical shells and cheese and coleslaw was acidic and crunchy.

overall, one of the best bbq places in the area. the staff was friendly and professional and knowledgeable as it was our first time in. highly recommend!

Quick ready to order style BBQ joint. Ribs, brisket were good. Mac-n-cheese were a hit with the kids. Could use one or two more different side options.

The food? Amazing. The system? Not so much.

We’re locals and keep hoping to hit it at a slow time, but somehow always end up in that one long line, herded like cattle, waiting to order and pay before we can even sit down. It’s a slow process with only two or three people working the counter, so bring your patience (and maybe a snack).

That said, once the food hits the table, it’s worth every minute. I always get the brisket salad which is ridiculously good, and my kids devour the pulled chicken or brisket with mac and cheese. Prices are what you’d expect for 30A: sky-high everywhere, but at least this place delivers on flavor.

Small PSA: stick with water unless you want to add another $12–$16 to your already pricey barbecue bill. Slow system aside, the food never disappoints, just wish the line moved as fast as the food disappears.

As a Texan resident this was the best bbq and sides we have ever had. We had the brisket and sausage. Our sides were the greens and the potatoe salad. We were beyond impressed. And stuffed ! We’ve had good bbq but this was beyond the best. Highly recommend !

WOW! Not only was the food incredible but the owner was so kind and friendly, you can tell he loves what he does and I’ll always support a business like this! The best brisket I’ve ever had, the sides were all delicious and the best part, I didn’t feel gross after eating it, like I normally do eating bbq food, you can tell it is high quality ingredients! Will definitely be back next year during our annual Destin trip :)))

This is some of the best barbecue and sides our family’s had. Probably the best meal we had while at the beach. Service is quick and would definitely visit again.

We bought 2 1/2 lbs of brisket, 3 sides, and some bbq sauce. The total was $175. I'm sorry, but the bbq wasn't special, 20% was fat that couldn't be eaten, and I pulled a long hair out of my 3rd bite. Wasn't mine, I'm bald. The flavor was good, but, I have had better at half the price. Sorry guys, I had to tell the truth. The Mac and cheese was great, and the apples in the slaw was a nice touch.

Great BBQ, great side dishes, and very friendly service. Our family of 4 tried ribs, Brunswick stew, cornbread (with cinnamon butter spread) Texas Twinkies, baked beans, Mac and cheese, and the pork sandwich. Everything was excellent. We had plenty of food and ended up taking part of our meal home. Highly recommend!

​We visited the 30A area for the first time and this was our very first meal. Our bartender, Nikki, was incredibly kind and gave us great information about the area. The food was the best we had on our trip and some of the best barbecue we've ever tasted. We tried the brisket, chicken, and pork, and all three were fantastic. The sides were the perfect complement to the meats. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.
