Deep South Family BBQ -Food CA (Near Brooksville)

5 /5 Tanner Clarkson: Excellent BBQ and the best fried green tomatos around! I only need to add BBQ sauce on pulled pork/chicken, but everything else is well seasoned and flavorful! Service is quick and good about checking on you. My drink is never empty, which I greatly appreciate. The atmosphere is fine; what I appreciate the most is the cleanliness of the place. From the restroom to the kitchen, you can see that a clean restaurant is a priority. I also like that they are conscious of cross contamination, e.g. when handling money they wash their hands or put new gloves on.

4 /5 Raven Sunkiller: Small and super welcoming place to get some really good barbecue. We aren’t locals, but greeted as though we are. There are a few inside picnic tables and more outside. We ordered the bacon wrapped tots, chicken sandwich plate, pulled pork sandwich plate and the specialty cranberry pomegranate spiced lemonade they were offering. Our sides were baked beans, mac & cheese, collard greens, and potato salad. Food came very quickly - not a healthy choice, but those bacon tots are brilliant! Crisp crisp bacon around a fluffy tater tot worth any dietary concerns LOL. The meat is nicely flavored- we tried all the sauce offerings and the mustard was our favorite. Was disappointed in the “vinegar” sauce, not a discernible amount of vinegar and too thick - more like a standard BBQ sauce. The bottles on the tables were pretty dirty/sticky -which really is our only complaint. The meat was good and we enjoyed each of the sides with the baked beans being outstanding (rich and lovely flavor) - Do not change a thing with those beans! Having tried BBQ all over the US we’ve struggled to find any in Florida that we truly would go back for, until now - if we are in the area, we will absolutely stop in again.

4 /5 Presley Terence (DJ Lumi): Stopped by coming through the area and seen it as a suggestion. Staff was very friendly and helpful with the menu options. They were out of spare ribs but i ordered the half rack of baby back ribs and pulled pork dinner. Sides for both were baked beans, greens and mac & cheese! The sides were plentiful and just the right amount. Only thing for me I’d say is , if the greens had just a tad bit more seasoning as it tasted bland in the middle, Mac & cheese was ok, but baked beans were great!! Overall a good pick up headed back home

3 /5 Roads Traveled Photography: Been wanting to stop in here for quite some time but it was never open during my travels. This week, to my surprise, it was open. The pulled pork sandwich was pretty good, not the best I’ve ever had. I give it an 8.5. Fries were under cooked. Someone thought it was a good idea to add parsley to the Mac & cheese, this was a very bad idea. This was probably the worse idea ever tasted and no one at our table indulged past a few bites. The sweet tea was perfection. No garlic bread! Probably the first time I’ve not been able to get garlic bread at a BBQ joint. It’s fairly warm inside the dinning area, which consist of a very small area with picnic table seating that can difficult to get in and out of. The only restroom was large and clean. The staff was super friendly. The grounds were immaculate.
