There’s barbecue, and then there’s good barbecue. At Blue Willy’s BBQ in Oakland Park, you’ll get some of the best Texas-style barbecue around, meats such as beef brisket and pork spare ribs prepared the same way chef-owner Will Banks’ grandfather cooked them at the family’s butcher shop-turned-restaurant. It all starts with the meat, delivered by […]

Operating from a brick-red trailer parked in the Exxon parking lot on 31st Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard is Deep Down South Barbecue – the honest-to-goodness real deal when it comes to Florida ‘cue. Owner Albert Houston, a former Marine cook and restaurant developer for Marriott Hotels, focuses on creating consistent, competition-style barbecue – meaning he […]
Burger joints, soul food restaurants, and taco food trucks are just a few places to eat sans utensils, so what makes Dixie Pig the best place to take off those dainty white gloves? Simply put, it’s the sauce. Dixie Pig has been in the same location on Dixie Highway for more than 20 years, so […]
Although the Georgia Pig serves breakfast daily and lunch includes nonsmoked fare like cheeseburgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, and Brunswick stew, no array of food items nor the coffee-shop setting can distract diners from the brick pit that sits front and center behind the counter and emits irresistible barbecue aromas. The Georgia-style sauce is thin and […]

Don’t get distracted by the sides at this stylish Fort Lauderdale barbecue joint with its faux distressed-wood paneling and new “old” fa
Jack Mays’ barbecue sauce, a family recipe handed down from his father, lends a tangy zip to the meats — as do the hickory and oak logs that they simmer over for hours. The fare here is consistently delectable, from supermoist spare ribs to catfish, pork, beef, and chicken and the best square of warm […]
Secluded waterfront tables, gigantic burgers, and a no-BS service attitude make Hollywood’s Le Tub Saloon worthy of our list. Sure, tourists tend to stop by to check out the GQ and Oprah-hyped establishment, but better than the burgers is the large wood deck with eclectic, kitschy South Florida decor, plenty of picnic benches overlooking the […]
It’s just as the name implies: The ribs and chicken are smoked first, then barbecued with sweet, tangy, homemade sauce. Baby-back ribs are especially succulent. Even the barbecued beans and roasted corn in the husk are smokin’ good. The restaurant is self-serve, seat-yourself, and the casual nature of the place is complemented by an artistically […]

Myung Ga Tofu and BBQ Restaurant is a Korean restaurant but not really a Korean barbecue restaurant: no grills built into the tables, no ventilation hoods overhead. What it serves is authentic Korean comfort food, just like mom used to make. The warm, wood-toned space is filled with Korean families passing along fajita-like platters of […]
Red Cow, in a hard-to-spot location at Sunrise Boulevard and Federal Highway, opened in mid-2013 as the latest concept from Elliot Wolf, who has found success in downtown Fort Lauderdale with the Foxy Brown, G&B Oyster Bar, and Coconuts. For this restaurant, he turned to Steve Shockey, a Texas native whom he’s worked with for […]
This Coral Springs rib joint from Iron Maiden drummer and South Florida resident Nicko McBrain feels just about as close to a backyard barbecue as you can get in a restaurant. The food isn’t exactly Memphis-style barbecue; rather, it tastes like what you might whip up with some friends huddled around a Webber grill. Ribs […]
There are about 70 locations of this Orlando-based chain, and it has diners lickin’ their fingers. Smokey Bones seems to be gunning for the Ale House demographic: men who want to hang out with buddies, have a few drinks, watch the game, and, most of all, eat meat. With the culture of BBQ being competitive […]
Though it’s just another chain restaurant with a rather cold corporate feel, Smokey Bones in Plantation remains remarkably successful. There’s always someone young and perky at the front door; it feels family-friendly and festive inside; and they’re quick ‘n easy with the coupons and specials that make it cheap to eat and drink here. With […]

What a difference a move makes. When owner Jeremy Armstead decided to close his longtime Sunrise store and truck his barbecue downtown, it was a bit of a gamble. He packed up his collection of sports and music memorabilia that had for so long been a part of the place – like his antique Jack […]
Drive past this Fort Lauderdale roadside log cabin at lunch or dinnertime and you’ll understand exactly why lines stretch out the door. The aroma of meat grilling over red oak and hickory is hard to resist. Today a Fort Lauderdale institution, Tom Jenkins has been smoking up the neighborhood since 1990. Originally a traveling barbecue […]
