An amazing spot we heard about from the foodie review page on Facebook, glad we tried they are great , the brisket was so tasty the seasoning was perfect way better than others, chicken moist, pork was good the bun could have been toasted but that didn’t stop the taste buds from flowing all the fixings were on point the pit beans Mac and green beans and corn bread were delicious

Brisket is cut too thin. The BBQ sauce is supposed to be smokey, but isn't. I'm unsure about this place. It doesn't taste bad, but the taste doesn't reflect to other glowing reviews I see for this place. Maybe it's just the brisket is unimpressive and the other dishes are good. The potato salad is excellent. The baked beans are good but nothing special. Cornbread muffin was excellent

This place is some of our friends favorite bbq place in Florida and meet them every year for a meal. I had the brisket meal, and it was all I could eat. My wife had the bbq chicken and this was excellent also. Nice outdoor eating area and plenty of inside dining too. Typical bbq place where you order and pickup at counter. They also have carry out if that's what you desire. I'm sure we will return with our friends again next year for more of their delicious bbq.

Delicious barbecue and exceptional service! We arrived from out-of-town 20 minutes before closing time. The staff was friendly and welcomed us to stay. Wonderful service, helpful and generous staff! Thank you for a wonderful dinner Sundown Smokehouse!Kid-friendliness: Family friendly. Kids menu.

Best ribs I've had! I got the half Slab of Ribs with 1/4 pound BBQ beef brisket.Very impressed with the taste and that bark that was on the ribs! Brisket was thin shaven to maximize sauce distribution...Cherry Blossom turned out to be my favorite sauce!Only minor complaint...was not a fan of the Mac and cheese. But overall 9/10! Will return for the wings!

We had tried Dustin's and were underwhelmed so we asked some local folks and tried Sundown Smokehouse. We were NOT disappointed! It was awesome! We both had brisket platters and we will never go anywhere else. The 4 BBQ sauces offer a flavor for everyone and overall we were very impressed!

If you eat inside, you order at counter and go sit. Not much to see - not fancy. Totally fine. We typically get take out. Food is great!! Love pulled pork and burnt ends. Cherry blossom sauce is really good. It's definitely elevated above Dustins and Sonny's. Always a treat to get good here.

Always great food!! Delicious and tender pulled pork with great bbq sauce options. Pulled port platter is my go to! My husband always gets the ribs! Always fast and friendly service. Note: get your order in early because when they run out, you're out of luck to fulfill your bbq cravings that day!

Was decent. I tried the brisket sandwich but it was sliced too thin but good. I'll have to go back and try more before I give it more stars. I didn't care for the potato salad either. Willing to give it another shot for sure.

Let me preface this by saying I hate BBQ. I have tried a lot of places over the years and have yet to find flavorful tender cuts that aren't dry. So today my husband suggests we try this place and I wasn't expecting much if I'm honest.Jayme at the front was amazing! She heard us out on our likes and dislikes and ultimately recommended the burnt ends and the pulled pork with Mac n cheese and it was phenomenal. The meats were so tender and full of juice and flavor I was genuinely surprised. The prices were spot on, even by today's standards, and the portions are quite hefty.All their sauces are made in house and sold as well so they're all unique and fresh. We chose the Mississippi Sweet and the Mustang Sally sauces and will be getting some for family out of state. Plus the dining area is decorated with a multitude of awards ranging from sauces to the cooking which speaks for itself.So definitely 5 star and will definitely be back. This place is exactly what I imagine Homemade Southern BBQ should taste like. ?
This is a BBQ restaurant for those who know BBQ and know something about what it takes to create great BBQ. I've been here a number of times and have had about every meat item on their menu and was always impressed. They even know how to smoke white meat chicken that turns out moist and juicy. This place is owner run with a big smoker out back. Portions are LARGE not skimpy. Smoked spare ribs and burnt ends are a must have.

MY FAVORITE BBQ IN FLORIDA THUS FAR!!! Let. Me. Tell. You! Burnt ends are always good from a brisket but theirs had my tastebuds dancing. I'm pretty darn picky when it comes to briskets and such things related. I kept putting off trying this place because of the bad luck I had been having looking for decent bbq. I wish I hadn't waited so long. Even my 7 year old picky eating daughter was begging for more. They must make their own corn muffins too. That particular side really stood out to me. Must try again and again. The cost is moderate and definitely get your monies worth.

Excellent authentic BBQ. Burnt ends were fantastic. Really enjoyed the sauces on the table. Don't wait to order, when they're out, they're out. Orange muffins are really good as well, if not for dessert, then breakfast the next day.

The food is fresh and the staff is great. BBQ at its best ! You won't find tastier ribs anywhere. This restaurant is a must if you are in or near New Smyrna Beach....

We had the best bbq ribs I've eaten in a very long time. The owners are wonderful and made us feel at home. I recommend you try Sundown Smokehouse for some amazing bbq.
