Rude. My family of 3 went there & no one would serve us. This overweight girl just stared at us for 40 mins while she served other people. We left after 45 mins of waiting & being ignored. I think they went out of business since Covid, & tbh, good, served them right, imo, after how they treated kind & patient customers.

They are never open. They have weird hours. And I haven't figured out why I don't ever see anyone dining in or just there.

Used to love this place. Tried to visit about six weeks ago and there was a note saying they would be closed. Came back four weeks and no note but closed again. Nothing on their website, Facebook, yelp or Google. Drive 45 minutes out of our way when a simple update could have been done. Sounds like poor management

I really wish there was something I could do to help yall be open on Thursday and Friday too... yall are hidden in a small corner of Waldo but should be blowing up huge for the whole world to see and know about. We love the food and always look forward to eating here. It's really awesome.

It's a million degrees out so I was a little skeptical about eating outdoors. I'm so glad we did! Such perfectly cooked fried shrimp basket you can eat the tails!! Sliced brisket sandwich made hubby so happy. Cold beer, water with ice and a slight breeze on a hot day under a shady tree and I loved it. Great service!! Clean tables and bathrooms. We'll be back!!!

Diner Saturday at 6pm, two hours before closing.1 star / moist pulled pork, hot,2 star / coleslaw and beans were Good.Down sides1 price $28.oo for 2 plates2 two hours before closing on a Saturday and all they had left was pulled pork or cat fish?3 collard greens had no flavor , Potato salad, was a bit under cooked.4 Not worth the drive out there,HOWEVER, if your In town, it's way better then fast food.

Drove my three kids 45 minutes to eat here. When we got there the person working the window seemed bothered/confused by our arrival? It was 5:30pm and the restaurant doesn’t close until 8pm so I’m not sure why she seemed so shocked. She then said “did you call something in?” To which we replied no. She said “Well, all we have is ribs and some shrimp.” Out of an extensive two page menu, I find it hard to believe they were out of everything else. They didn’t seem to want to help us, and further didn’t seem to want to work.

Stopped for the oysters and they were out. Got the grouper and the shrimp both were yummy

Stopped here on the way home from Newberry and WOW! A must for the best, moist tender and seasoned ribs. This little mom & pop place beats anything in JAX. Well priced for serious portions. The biggest winner is their BBQ sauce, we couldn't put our finger on the ingredients, but I would buy a bottle if they sold it. Down side was seating outside, we were covered in flys. But I would stop again
The food and staff are great and it had great prices.

Been driving by that place a long time . Saturday last I finally stopped and inquired about a bushel of oysters. Wasn't keen on price so I decided to simply buy three adult full meals. Didn't realize till I got home five minutes away and opened the cartons what an enormous let down the content was

Randy's is everything you should expect out of a barbecue shack on the side of an active highway. The brisket was tender and juicy on some delicious Texas toast. The okra was freshly fried with no stem. Hush puppies were crunchy and delicious. Absolutely love this place.

Try the beef brisket sandwich. It was really good. Great little roadside BBQ joint reminiscent of old Florida.

The Family Rib Dinner was enough food to feed 4 hungry cyclists from Gainesville! Their fried okra was so good and the hush puppies were GREAT!!! Great price and lot of food!! We will definitely be back!!!
