First time at the Joinery with my Dad & this was the best gluten free option. Everyone was pleasant & helpful. Dad had the Brisket sandwich with beef tallow fries. I had the beef brisket with a double side collard greens. The mustard BBQ was yummy.Absolutely delicious!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free brisket & collard greens

Our group tried the Blue Dogs ribs, fries and brisket tonight with a side of potato salad and beans. Everyone was ranting and raving about the different dishes. Nothing but lip smacking praise from all! Personally my grandson and I had the ribs. Tender and well seasoned. The sauce has a great pepper component that is a taste surprise and excellent flavor. Meaty and filling. Definitely have this place on our radar in the future!
Amazing food. The best brisket I've ever had as well as the Mac n cheese. The sauces made in house are delicious to pair with the BBQ. Inside the Joinery, super cool place to hangout with a great view.

We were camping and we wanted to visit a local place. I am usually very limited on what I can eat due to be gluten free. I am always scared about calling and asking about gluten free options. I essentially put my health in someone else’s hands and if they are wrong, I am sick for days. I called and spoke to max. He was wonderful and put my nerves at ease. He was very knowledgeable about his ingredients, so we ventured over. I am so glad we did. The space is so cute. The wait staff was wonderful and the girl that checked me out was also knowledgeable about gluten. The food was wonderful and we had a great experience. Thank you so much for allowing me (and my family) to go out for dinner and know I was safe.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free

The food is mediocre but at least you have the privilege of overpaying for it.

Amazing food at a real fun venue. Brisket and Ribs were really well prepared and had great flavor.
I came here on a recommendation from a friend after spending the day in Lakeland exploring. For reference I lived in Texas for years and my extended family all lives in Kansas City so BBQ my family loves and takes seriously. Having lived in Florida for the last 15 years it's been the one thing I've missed and have yet to find is truly great BBQ. Until now... this is hands down the best BBQ in Florida I've had thus far. Loved the addition of the homemade pickle bar. Owner was super friendly and wanted to tell him all this in person but by the time I had finished it seems he had clocked out for his shift. Worth the drive and worth the money. Will be back next time I'm in Lakeland

This BBQ place is part of the vendor in the Joinery. Their BBQ is craft style. You will make the order from the counter and provide them your cell number. They text you when your food is ready. Usually don't take much time of waiting. I got a slice of brisket and 5 pieces of smoke wings. The brisket has very good marinated spice. The peppery edge make this very nice. The smoke wings are very smoky and crispy. Overall is good food. Price is in the high side. It make people go for other choices in the Joinery.

My wife and I were raised in Texas and have lived in Florida for 20 years. This is literally the first time we’ve found legit Texas style brisket - Tender, pink smoke ring, peppery crust, just delicious. The brisket sandwich even came with dill pickles and white onion, which is proper. The bbq sauce was not on the meat - also proper. The bbq sauce itself was more vinegar based closer to a NC style sauce, but honestly I like that style of sauce better so another win for me! Great job Blue Dog. Finally found nummy Texas style BBQ brisket so long.

My wife and I ordered two meals w/ drinks for dinner, totaling $50.19. The Ribs had good flavor as well as her brisket, however, both meats were not warm. The sides were smaller portions and also not very warm. Overall, good flavor and atmosphere but is on the pricey side for date night for two adult meals.
