Cecil's Texas Style Bar-B-Q

The food was well cooked, but the bbq sauces weren’t very good and since I lived in Texas and love bbq sauce I consider myself a connoisseur. The staff is super friendly and all seem very charming. I felt comfortable there and it seems like a great place to take a family or to meet friends for lunch. Overall it was a good experience for a random lunch choice in a city I don’t spend much time in.

Mac and cheese and fried okra was cold. I had to ask the cashier to warm them up for me. We spent $32 here for beef brisket, which was pretty good! It was tender and probably the only good part about our meal. Certain plates don’t bring drinks included so it’s an additional charge. Overall experience was just ok.

I was rooting for this place because I desperately wanted some great brisket. Sadly I didn’t find it at Cecil’s . First for the positive, Ribs were great. Juicy and flavorful! The brisket on the other hand was dry, dry, dry. Just flat overcooked . It didn’t have much of a smoke ring because it was overcooked. I was so sad because the flavor was good but I was choking it down. Next the sides…. I got there 10 minutes after opening and the black eyed peas were already mushy, the greens were over vinegary and the Jalapeño mash potato’s were stiff and had too many peppers in it. Fried Okra was delicious!
Please take this as fixable issues. Minor tweaks and this could be amazing!

Great little place for your bbq needs. Selection of meats then a serve yourself on sides. They are also generous with their portions so thats a huge plus for value. If you haven't had it before it's worth the visit.

Amazing BBQ! Portion size is great! This is the regular pulled pork sandwich on a bun. Comes with 1 side as well! Love.

Everything was excellent. Hot bbq sauce qas the best.

Ok I’m back. Great service and recommendations from the staff. Brisket sandwiches were amazing! Top shelf food at very reasonable prices. This will be a regular stop for me!
First time. Got the rib lunch special. Ribs were great. Potato salad was not good. Made with ranch dressing for some reason. Definitely going back. I want to try the brisket. 😎

Cecils: Barbecue that can't be beat!

Cecils is simply the best barbecue joint I've ever been to in Florida. From the moment you walk in the door, the experience is seamless. The ordering process is straightforward, and the staff is always friendly and helpful.
The portion sizes are generous, and there's a variety of side dishes to pick from. But the real stars of the show are the brisket and ribs. They are melt-in-your-mouth tender, perfectly seasoned, and simply divine.
To top it all off, they offer a complimentary scoop of ice cream with every meal. It's the perfect way to end a delicious barbecue feast.
If you're a barbecue lover, I highly recommend giving Cecils a try. You won't be disappointed!
