“Skeebo's Soul Food Kitchen 2280 Harris Ave. NE Palm Bay, FL 32905 4 Stars Every Sunday, my dad would fire up the hibachi and cook chicken, steak, sausage, and ribs. It was a cornucopia of flavors that I have lovingly remembered since childhood. That was 44 years ago (give or take). Until Skeebo's Soul Food Kitchen, I had not encountered those memorable flavors since then. In an age of green eggs and wood chips, “best” this and “best” that, it was refreshing to taste a backyard cookout again. Lisa is our outstanding service provider, and she did a bang-up job. She was polite and pleasant and answered all my questions about the menu and food preparation. I put in an order for their rib and chicken combo and the fried catfish platter with sides of mac and cheese, collard greens, seasoned fries, and a slab of cornbread. Kickin' back and snapping a few pics of the joint, I awaited Lisa's return as patiently as a grallatorial bird hunting minnows. I gathered that the kitchen was run with as much efficiency as Lisa worked the front, as she reappeared in no time laden with my delectables. Continuing with the picture-taking motif, I snapped some of the foodstuffs and wholeheartedly dug in. First up on the Big Boy's discerning palate was the Rib & Chicken Combo. This was sampled first only because it was closest to my meaty paw. The ribs were obviously cooked slow and low for hours as they were so tender as to practically melt in my mouth like a palate of tasty BBQ butter. Once again, loyal follower, if your ribs are “fall of the bone” tender, they are tragically overcooked. Properly cooked ribs will be tender, moist, succulent, and melty, not fall apart on your plate. These were exceptional. I could say the exact same thing for the cockalorum. To paraphrase Yoda in honor of the recently passed May the Fourth, “Stupendous, this was.” Moving on to the next entree and then we will circle back to the sides. I found the fried catfish to be cooked perfectly; however, it was obviously not a USDA grade A fillet of catfish, hence the 4-star rating and not a 5. The fish flaked wonderfully and the breading was evenly distributed and flavorful, it was the fish itself that was rather bland in presenting itself to the palate. Now, like the old west myth of the wagon train, it's time to circle back to them thar sides. Arguably just as important as the method and sauce of the BBQ, sides are an integral part of the traditional Southern BBQ. The mac & Cheese was certainly made in the back and was reminiscent of the stuff from Grandma's kitchen. The collard greens were so tasty and so Southern that I half expected them to tell me I was grinnin' like a possum eatin' a sweet tater. To be honest, I was as they were so tasty! The fries were fried and seasoned to perfection and the cornbread was moist and fluffy as Uncle Skeeter intended. The Big Boy says, “If you want to relive your childhood or just want properly cooked soul food, this is the place you should try. Just leave your action figures or Tonka trucks at home.”“

“Food was really great! Loved the pulled pork.“

“Best baby back ribs I've ever had from a weirdly decorated hole in the wall. Jim is a funny guy. He will take care of you especially for any catering needs. One of the best places I have ever ate at, the food was amazing and very tasty. The owner and his staff are super friendly and very helpful. the place is a little odd at first but it grows on you while you eat. And of course the BBQ is amazing, I've been there 4 times in a row just to keep trying something different and they all are becoming my favorite dishes.“

“The food is fantastic. The staff is very welcoming .a bit of bar atmosphere and family friendly at the same time ..most of all I love that it's non smoking“

“Enjoy watching sports here, the sports fans are real, as well as the amazing staff, delicious food.“

“Absolutely amazed at the service we had at this location! We called in at 5:30 and let them know we would have a party of 20 coming in at 7:30-8:00. We were told we wouldn’t all be sitting at the same table but same area (that’s of course fine with us) we got there, they had an entire section for just us., sat us in a timely manner. We had cosmo as a server and he was quick, had all of our orders right & handle us like a champ. We are pleased to say we will be returning to see Julie and her team for all future family dinners.“
