You've got to try the brisket sandwich with honey barbecue sauce. Talk about mouth watering! They know how to put down a good old-fashioned barbecue sandwich! Five stars and more from me!

I’m a BBQ connoisseur of sorts and I absolutely loved everything we ordered. The sandwiches were massive and the BBQ sauce tasty. When we eat out in Sebring, we will be coming back here.

I'm going to start by saying that the workers here were very hospitable, i definitely felt very welcomed! I loved the vibe as soon as we got out of the car, they have ample space to sit outside and enjoy your meal in the nice crisp weather. Moving on to the food- We ordered half a rack of ribs with a 1/4 of a chicken and a side of Mac & Cheese. I will give them props for cooking both the ribs and chicken very tenderly and moist... my issue was the seasoning of both meats i don't think that either had enough seasoning before cooking; i think that the sauces they use are trying to compensate for the lack of flavor that the meat has on its own... i wish they would rub them with more flavor before cooking as it would make a world of a difference; again this is just my opinion.I would definitely love to come again with some minor adjustments being done to try some well cooked meats.

The place is located in a sort of trailer and has a nice outside area where you are able to sit. We passed by on the way up north for a quick lunch. The service was speedy, the workers were extremely kind and the prices are very reasonable! My only thing was the bbq sauce had a bit too much of a taste of ketchup to it in my opinion. As well I would have liked for the meat to have a stronger seasoning to have more flavor on its own. The most thing you taste is basically bbq sauce. The meats both chicken and ribs were cooked to perfection though!! Would definitely return for another try.

This place does not know bbq honestly the only thing good about the food is that the ribs where fall off the bone tender. Everything was just so bland no seasoning at all on anything, the macaroni and cheese wasn’t done, and I just don’t know why some people don’t believe in seasoning your food, just no real flavors on none of the food that would wow a person’s taste buds. It was a 0/10 for me. I will not be returning

Dare I say it? Alright, here goes. The best BBQ in Highlands County! You might undergo a couple of challenges wrapping your taste buds around some great Q but fear not, Steven B. is here! Read on for the details and my Pro Tips.Arriving- They are on the northbound side of US Route 27 so if you are heading North, no problem. If you happen to be Southbound, you need to drive past them about 100 yards and hook a U turn on Orange Blvd. It's no big deal if you let your GPS do its thing.It's a mostly gravel parking lot with no spaces marked. As you'll see, everyone just does their own thing! Ambience- They are a food truck in this hopefully permanent location. They back it up to a small building for more space. So, Take-out only! The ambience is in two parts. First, there are the folks waiting for their order which will be ready quickly. They are smiling and drooling in anticipation! Second is the folks sitting at the available tables with umbrellas and munching away. They will be smiling and moaning as they have food orgasms! Pro Tip- FB is your friend! These folks have limited days and hours. They generally open at 11 am Wed-Sat and close when the food is gone, which can happen quickly! The general consensus is arrive early, ideally before 2 pm. Think of it as a lunch place and once again, check FB to verify the days open and for specials. Customer Service- Wonderful, awesome and a true pleasure! This is a father-daughter team effort. The daughter (Nikki) will be at the window to take your order and your name. The father will make up your order, open the food truck door and shout your name when it's ready and that will usually happen quickly!Both Nikki and her dad are personable and genuine. I enjoyed chatting with both of them!Curbside Pickup? - I'm temporarily handicapped, complete with HC placard. I have trouble standing and walking any distance. I mentioned this to Nikki, and she made sure her dad brought my food to my car. Nice!Food- Brisket, pork, ribs, chicken, an often-changing selection of sides and a special or two. Pro Tip- If okra is one of the sides, get it! I don't give a damn if you "think" you don't like okra, get it anyway. Trust me. Sadly, it wasn't available on this visit, and I shed a tear! I ordered the brisket platter, and my sides were Red Beans & Sausage, along with Southern Style Green Beans. All the sauces are homemade by Dad, and I choose Carolina style. The tab was about $19. Note- As is often the case, brisket is the most expense choice on the menu. Most everything else is considerably less expensive.Both of my sides were mind-blowing and nice portions. The beans & sausage could have used a little more sauce but that's just nit-picking. The brisket portion was very large, tender, flavorful, and the sauce was spot-on! I was stuffed.I've had the pleasure of eating BBQ in all 50 states. That's right, even AK and HI! I know my BBQ! This place is an easy 5-stars!
