I have had barbecue all over the country and this place has some of the best I’ve had in general, and by a significant margin the best I’ve had in Florida. I’m partial to the brisket and ribs, but everything I’ve tried has been delicious (the bread pudding is phenomenal). On top of that, the staff is wonderful and welcoming. And then there’s the specials… you’ll come in expecting the BBQ staples, only to find that in addition to those is some magic whipped up by the chefs like curried oxtail, confit beef cheeks, venison, etc… absolutely unreal. After the first visit, Smoke and Fire became my favorite restaurant in Sarasota.

This was the best BBQ I’ve had in Florida. The pulled pork and brisket were so tender and juicy. Sides were homemade and delicious. Cornbread muffins were moist and so yummy. Really friendly staff who checked on us throughout our dining. I will recommend to anyone who likes barbeque!

The BBQ Brisket was amazing, full flavor (choice of sauces) very tender and full of flavor. Pulled pork was better than you’d ever dream about, shredded and tender. Even the Mac & Cheese is better than usual and different. Only open F, S, & S, with brisket on Friday only. We’ll never go to our former favorite BBQ restaurant again.

We stopped here on our way to Miami, and it was honestly the best decision. The service was amazing, especially with our girls, everyone was so warm, attentive, and kind.
We ordered ribs, chicken, and pulled pork, and everything was delicious, perfectly seasoned, and very tender. The restaurant was spotless, with a fresh and pleasant smell throughout.
From start to finish, everything was perfect. We highly recommend this place and would definitely come back. Thank you guys!!

Friday night specials range from Venison to beef cheeks to smoked curry braised lamb shanks all worth a long trip. The Friday night specials do not replace brisket on the Friday night menu, they are their own entity along with the staples. The brisket which is to die for quite simply is just not ready until Saturday each week and that stays through Sunday. Amazing place, even better food.
Best spot in Sarasota.

Very good chicken and ribs. Both were very meaty. They were a little saltier than I'd prefer, but probably fine for others. We went on a Friday, so they don't have brisket as it was replaced with venison (for $51). Staff was very friendly and helpful. Without Nancy's anymore, this is as good a BBQ as your going to get!
THANK YOU!, for the most TENDER, JUICY, TASTY BRISKET.........WOW, FANTASTIC and the most DELICIOUS BOURBON BAKED BEANS....EXCEPTIONAL FLAVOR I didn't try anything else because I instantly became addicted to the BRISKET AND BEANS. This was my first visit on 10-12-25. I'm from Tampa and was visiting relatives. I will DEFINITELY be back next weekend for more Brisket and Beans, might even see the relatives again. AGAIN, THANK YOU for an OUTSTANDING MEAL. You should put a warning label on the menu, about the addiction consequences after eating your food.

Well my mind was just blown by the best bbq in Sarasota, no doubt about it. I stumbled upon this spot when my son wanted to go to Livingstons. I’ve had bbq far and wide in the US. This was the best. Yes, right here in Sarasota.
We had lunch there today. We ordered the brisket, ribs, wings, beans & potato salad. Every thing, and I mean everything, had well thought out flavor. The ribs. They were smoky, tender, fall off the bone. Off the charts, best I’ve ever had. This is artisanal bbq by true pitmasters. We are lucky here in Sarasota.
We were enjoying so much that we decided to get dinner to go, for later. I wish I took a picture of our lunch but we devoured it. I took a picture of our dinner to go. We went with their ribeye special and salad.
While waiting, chef gave me some tastes of his pickled veg. Not just any pickles - sashimi style pickled pumpkin and beets. Perfectly crisp.
The staff is kind, passionate, friendly and most of all, appreciative. Really happy I met this crew today. This place is phenomenal. I wish them tons of success, hope you all support because they deserve the recognition. You will not be disappointed.
