This is the #1 bbq spot. They are family operated, in a peaceful environment under trees & blue skies. While cruising through 27 I had to stop by. I'll share my photos below! - Dro

Roadside BBQ shack on Hwy 27 in Sebring. Everything is absolutely wonderful. Can't wait till next time and try the Collard Greens. Ribs fall off the bone and the pulled pork and chicken is so delicious. Great mac and cheese as well. All made with a touch of love and southern hospitality.

This is the best BBQ I have ever had. It is outstanding. I only write reviews when things are exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. I cannot recommend this place enough. Every thing I had (ribs, brisket, green beans, coleslaw) was excellent and crafted with precise attention. The flavors are way above what you would expect for a casual outdoor spot on the side of the road.

4/10/25 first time here. Got good info from local friends that this place is good. They were correct. Good and fresh BBQ. Family run & nice folks here. I got the brisket sandwich and the beans. It was a big sandwich too. Cash or card. No credit card fee :) Plenty of picnic tables to sit and eat.

We stopped in around 1 PM after hearing how good the food was. We ordered a half rack of ribs and a brisket sandwich. We got green beans and pasta salad to go with it. The nice lady at the window was extremely helpful explaining about the sauces and their methods. She put sweet barbecue sauce and sweet and spicy barbecue sauce and containers for us to try. The food was fabulous and plentiful for the price ! We enjoyed sitting under the trees at the clean picnic tables.

Best BBQ in the state of Florida! Fresh made everyday and smoked to perfection, the best Brisket you will ever have topped with the best sauce in town. Amazing food and big portions for a great price. Always leave with a full belly and big smiles on our faces. Family run and the owners are so sweet, friendly and welcoming, make you feel right at home. If you are in the area or visiting, you have to stop by! Seriously the best find since we’ve been out here and in my top favorite places to eat ever. The also updated their seating area and it looks gorgeous! Very comfortable. Come early, they are open for lunch and close when they sell out as they’re a local favorite and fresh smoked every day instead of writing a janky review! Best time is before 1pm. We wake up early and rush over because we don’t wanna miss out it’s that good it flies off the grill. Totally worth it and I would still be going even if they opened 1 hour a day! Thank you guys for always providing quality service and great food. Till next time!
