Absolutely delighted to find this gem in the heart of downtown Sanford! The pulled pork is tender, the brisket juicy, and the burnt ends have that perfect candied sweetness. Tried the smoked Mac and cheese, and even at 8pm it was still good. Love the house sauce! Prices are just a little high, but I'm willing up overlook that in favor of good food and good ambiance. This place is a ten minute walk from my front door, add we cannot wait to come back!

Love love love! I got the pulled chicken and my son got the brisket. Everything was delicious! I love their BBQ sauces…so original tasting!! Also we loved their coleslaw and sweet potato fries. Cornbread was awesome too!!

Great BBQ joint with attached bar and music stage and also outdoor seating.They have Burnt ends!!! So 4 out of 5 and excellent Mac n cheese. Ribs ok, brisket good but they cut their burnt ends into squares, so sometimes you don't get and burnt bites at all. I prefer just shaved off or knife off just the burnt stuff. So just burnt meat, hence, Burnt ends! Cornbread wasn't my favorite either.Over all, I must go back and try their chicken and other items. I do like it there. I also liked the fried okra. Seemed like the freshest I have had. But I haven't met fried okra I haven't liked yet.

It’s pretty good barbecue fair. Got your pulled pork brisket and your chicken normal sides corn bread french fries coleslaw beans. Decent enough smoke. Super fair prices. Super fair. I would come here because it’s a decent quality at a really good price. And I would bring friends here. They’ve got a fun outdoor deck and a kind of cool inside vibe. Their sauces are housemaid. My wife likes the sweet the best. I’m a big fan of the hot. It has a pepper base to it.

Best BBQ I’ve had in a long time. The food is served in a cool way and there’s a soda fountain so plenty to drink. I mixed all the sauces because they’re all good. Located in a nice spot if you’re downtown hanging out or just out and about.

Quality is slipping, not enough staff. Food is cold and left out for the flies.

So the service is TOP TIER; the lady checked on me several times when I couldn't eat the green beans because the bacon. She was so sweet and attentive.The pulled chicken was REAL dry. The sweet potato fries were hot and delicious. There is live music depending when on the time you go. I would go back and try again.

We went for the first time the gentlemen was super nice friendly and helpful ? The food was amazing!!! Unfortunately didnt get any pix next time hope to go back and get some pix. Hubby got beef brisket which he said was by far the best he has had in Florida I had the pulled pork making with or with out the BBQ sauce and our son had the burnt ends which were made to perfection I would recommend the sweet potato fries and the Mac and cheese .. We will be back for sure

Best barbecue in all of Central Florida in my opinion! Everything is homemade with Grandma's recipes! I've tried everything there and it's all delicious and flavorful. My favorite sides are the baked beans and the greens they are the best I've ever had! Would highly recommend it!

The burnt ends were cubes of dry brisket covered in sweet bbq sauce. They were firm to tough, not tender and not marbled with fat or juice. Not good burnt ends if that was truly what they were. Disappointing for a $13 sandwich (no sides included). The Kaiser roll was the same as you would find in a package from Walmart. The slaw was pretty decent. Can’t recommend this place. I have done competitive bbq and the bbq here just ain’t good.
