    One pound of brisket
    Bryan M.

    The food here was delicious, fresh, and hot. You'll find him and his food truck in the parking lot of the Ace Hardware in Merritt Island. At least, that's where I found him. Not sure if he travels around the area or not TBH. Plenty of food for a reasonable price and he was pretty friendly too. Asked me if I had his wings yet, which I had not since it was my first time there. He then put a sampler 4 in a container for me to take with me, for free. Pretty awesome. The sides are all generous too. I got a pound of sliced brisket and 2 sides (plus those 4 wings), and it fed both me and my 16 yr old with a black hole stomach, with leftovers. I think I spent around $15 for the whole order.

    Awesome wings with a side of baked beans.

    I had to drop off my wife and daughter at Port Canaveral for a cruise around 12noon. I was hungry and started looking for a place for lunch. A little hidden behind ACE Hardware in Merritt Island is Big Don's BBQ. I ordered a pound of brisket and an order of wings. The brisket was great! Great seasoning and tender. Wings were great with a unique but very good buffalo sauce. Highly recommend!!!!

    Slices of tenderloin, beans and Mac and cheese.

    Food is great. It definitely beats BBQ like Sonny's and the Arnold Palmer is best I've ever had!

    If you're anywhere near the Space Coast and not stopping at Big Daddy J's, you're missing a launch…read moreyou'll regret. We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

    Cute spot close to the beach. The biscuit was a generous portion and very soft--great for sharing…read more It would be even better with honey butter, though I added a bit of barbecue sauce to give it a sweeter flavor. The mac and cheese was very creamy and flavorful. I also enjoyed the fish sandwich, which I added tomato and lettuce to since it doesn't come with them. The tartar sauce on the sandwich was especially good. My friend had the brisket sandwich which she enjoyed with fries. Service was excellent and very attentive. Overall, the food was solid and I had a really enjoyable experience.
