13 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lakeland

“Oh my goodness! I can not say enough about the delicious food. I have combo meal with chicken and brisket. Southern style potato salad(thus the redish color) and coke slaw. I got the order to go. The server was the same person who actually cooked the meats was wonderful and extremely helpful. Gosh does not take you to the place directly but tells you that you've reached your destination. No signage telling you where to go. The restaurant is in the clubhouse of the golf course. I took a chance and turned down in and am so happy I did. What a hidden gem“

“One & Only is a BBQ establishment that adds to Memphis' rich smoker culture and reputation. Our favorites are the fried pickles and the strawberry fields salad (a pleasant surprise at a BBQ place). Definitely check them out for your next event that needs catering options - not just for BBQ!“

“Wow. Real Hot-Pot. Great place. Great food. I was excited to see hot pot available. I have not had real hot pot since I was in China. This is not the same as that but it is a terrific approximation. They have a huge selection of meats, vegetables and fungi. They have several different soup bases to choose from. I hope to try some more of them sometime. Not as many choices as some of the places I have been. Some of those my have a hundred choices. Many parts of pig, many parts of cow, and many parts of several other animals. 901 has a good start on this. I chose Sichuan soup base. I though this would be most authentic. It looked perfect but it was not spicy enough. If you choose Sichuan you are probably expecting pain. I found spicy to be lacking here. VERY lacking was Sichuan peppercorns. They had some but not nearly enough. Your lips and tongue should be numb when you leave. I hope the expand to my town though. Must visit.“

“Found this one from our fellow Yelpers and it was another success. We were there for a lighter Saturday lunch, and I opted for the breakfast bowl, which was very good. My wife chose the chicken Chipotle ranch street tacos and they too were very good. Our server was excellent. We will go back again and spread our wings across other menu choices.“

“I was quickly seated and attended to. The staff were nice and walked me through the menu and provided recommendations. Food was really good, I had a sample platter that came with brisket, ribs and pulled pork with Mac and cheese and bbq baked beans, I went with a mix rub which was very flavorful. I would recommend you either ask for the sauce on the side or to go light on the sauce.They also offer a military discount. Restaurant was clean and well lite.“

“Awesome food.Molcajete is the best. Service today sucked. I had molcajete, cheese dip, sampler platter. There was so much on the table between those items, the girls drinks, my water and amargarita, and chips. No room, so we eat,get to go boxes no room, to even get the food in a box. 4 employees sitting behind the cashier talking, (we were at the first 4 top in front of the cashier) it was not busy we went early cuz we know how crowded it gets. Several servers walking around… not one, even our server didn’t take any dishes away, I was spilling food trying to move things around and get things out of the way to get in boxes. Very aggravating. I love the food there, but, I go out so I don’t have to cook, clean up, and to have a good time and relax. Not to work or be inconvenienced. I usually tip well, but , no not today. There’s 100’s of Mexican restaurants here. When I found this place we were on a quest to find the best Mexican restaurant in town… we stopped there as we believed we found the best.. but the service seems to be lacking lately, so I believe our quest will continue“

“Sitting at the bar, cold draft,eating an amazing hamburger.Know it's a barbecue place, but good Gosh their burgers are amazing. Hot fries, cold beer, great burger and a basket of these delicious little cheese muffins served with butter.“

“Ty's bbq has awesome smoked wings at a very reasonable price, my favorite flavor is "sweet heat", and they never fail to impress, and fries are always crispy hot and delicious. i've haven't eaten much else off their menu in years so i can't vouch for the rest of they're bbq but if it taste as good as they're wings it should taste spectacular.“

“I got pulled pork sandwich with fries & Mac n cheese. The sandwich was good. They were out of the brisket ?. So I got the pulled pork instead. I didn’t care for the Mac n cheese, it was way too salty for me. This is part of a shooting range which is pretty cool.“

“Great spot for live music and dancing. Friendly people and amazing service. I would've given it 5 stars, but they served me very cheap wine. I had 5 glasses and felt nothing. I drink 2 glasses of the one at home and be tipsy, that only cost me $7 a bottle lol. Other than that I really enjoyed myself! Check this spot out I went on a Thursday.“

“Early dinner arrival, no line or waiting to be seated. Hostess friendly and server was attentive and courteous. Food was served in good time. The food was delicious. We are items we had not seen on other Mexican restaurant menus... was a nice change or variation to the norm.Other guests were enjoying their food as well and having good time. Appeared to be a good place to gather for friends and family.We were just passing through, but we would definitely eat here again.“

“Leonard's has always been our go to place for Memphis BBQ! And they did not miss a beat when they moved to Cordova. Still the same great food and service!! Definitely worth the drive. The ribs are some of the best and I always love the slaw and beans!“
