Was driving by on a car cruise with the windows down and the heavenly smell of bbq hit my nostrils. I knew i had to turn around and get me some bbq.Worth every single penny. I got the 2 meat combo platter with ribs and sausage and mac n cheese and cole slaw as my sides. 10/10 their tangy sauce also amazing

I’ve had the pork, brisket, and jerked chicken. Have not been disappointed once, and either will you.

Delicious! Had a brisket sandwich and was fantastic!!

I pulled over on a whim just out of craving and I was not disappointed! The pulled pork (coleslaw on the burger) sandwich was tender and juicy with Carolina style sauce matched with the baked beans and potato salad. Sweet tea to compliment it. I did wish there was a bread option like cornbread!

Terrible BBQ. Undercooked, stiff brisket fat unrendered. No bread product with a $20 plate that was brisket, and two sides. Came with three tubs of sauce, and the meat came with a squirt of BBQ sauce all over it, so no option to have the meat without the worst sauce I've ever tasted.. definitely not a Texas sauce for the Texas style brisket. Potato salad was overcooked, and Cole slaw tasted watered down. Sadly I think this placeused to be good, but the work is over riding the quality control. One of the worst BBQ experiences I've had. Will not return.

Every year I look forward to coming to Lake Okeechobee for fishing and this BBQ! I can honestly say that I’ve never had anything here that wasn’t great, and I think I’ve tried it all! Friendly service, decent price, and big portions. Love it!
