Used to be the best bbq in town. Prices have gone up over the last 3 years- like everything else. Tonight the brisket was WAAAYYY too salty, couldn’t eat it. Sausage was awful. Ribs were rubbery. They even forgot to pack my sauces and I didn’t realize til I’d gotten home! We usually come here weekly but the food and service has really fallen off. Super disappointed. Spent over $50 tonight to still be hungry.

I just stopped into Meat & Fire 20 mins before close. I felt sooo bad that it was so close to closing time for them but it was one of the only places on the way that wasn’t fast food. This was my first time stopping in after passing it a zillion times. The girls inside were SO sweet and gave great recommendations when I asked what is good and wouldn’t require them to pull anything back out. I ordered togo and got the pulled pork sandwich and my husband got the 3 meat dinner, brisket, 1/4 chicken and pork. It was a super quick turn around and For the end of the day, we were wildly impressed. The food is delicious and very well priced. We will definitely be stopping in again!

My wife and I had a great experience! Both of us became BBQ snobs after visiting Austin Texas a few years back. Florida BBQ is just not typically up to par so we tend to judge a bit harshly. I'm so happy to report that Meat n Fire really delivered!
Brisket is where everyone tends to fall short. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that it was Texas quality, but it truly was fantastic by Florida standards! I got a nice end piece which was nice and toasty. The pulled pork was great, and so was the sausage. I really loved that mandarin oranges were a side option! Have me sometime fresh and juicy to cut through all the savory fat. I also think their cole slaw was great quality, as was the potato salad.
This is a great spot and I highly recommend it! We hit it on the way from Melbourne to Tampa. Definitely kept us full! My only suggestion would be that they get a solid mustard based Carolina sauce. That was the only thing missing for me.

I have a big BBQ background including managing a BBQ restaurant for 7 years. I don’t know what recipes they use but it’s not southern. The Mac-n-chz is not baked and chalky, the collards have tomatoes and had a sour aftertaste, my bbq baked beans had a piece of plastic in it, the cornbread is dry, garlic toast flat and doesn’t seem homemade, and the burnt ends which are supposed to be a bbq delicacy is more gristle than meat (photo attached). You would think after spending $90 you’d get quality product. Oh and they also knew when I ordered we wanted extra cornbread but didn’t even have enough to cover the meal so they gave us garlic bread instead. I’m underwhelmed and will be continuing to search for a good bbq spot.
