Excellent barbecue just outside of downtown Saint Augustine…read more We have been there a few times and it is always good. Chicken was very flavorful, Smokey and juicy. Their fried okra is probably the best I've ever had. Fast friendly service, good came out quickly! They close at 7, so arrive early.

UPDATE: all you need to do is look at their nasty reply that is a fabricated LIE to understand what…read moreI mean by poor management and you can add rude. Firstly, I would like to point out that when a review is posted is not the same as when the visit was. Secondly, a woman FROM YOUR BUSINESS came to MY car and personally told me that the restaurant was closed for renovations. And she did the same to at least 2 more cars of people. AND I asked here why the hours were NOT updated on google and she replied "Well we posted the hours somewhere." And no, this what not on a Sunday. We checked the hours before planning our trip and you were supposedly going to be open but your hours were not updated to reflect any renovations. You are a rude bold face liar making up things that plainly didn't happen. Here's how I can prove you're a liar: how would I know that you were closed for renovations supposedly before they started as you claim if I'm from out of town and came on a day that you're always closed as you claim before they ever started? I couldn't. I would have had to be there during the renovations as I was. And I was told by a woman on your staff! Talk to your staff maybe before you get so nasty. ORIGINAL: Tried to go to this place on vacation. It was closed for renovations and only found out after pulling into the parking lot. What vacation destination closes for renovations during vacation season anyway? They did NOT update their google hours nor did they put it on their sign at the restaurant. While I tried to find an alternative place for lunch after having my plans ruined, several other cars showed up like myself to the restaurant to be told by someone that they were closed as no one knew. My family planned a trip to this location just to try this restaurant. (Over a 3 hour drive). They should have updated their hours or at least put it on their sign. Poor management. Never even apologized for the major inconvenience. I already posted this review once and the owner or manager had it taken down because they didn't like my truthful post about their poorly ran restaurant. I consider that very disrespectful and misleading to everyone out here seeking honest reviews. If you want better reviews then be better. Don't doctor the stats!

Just finished lunch. I went with the two-meat platter: ribs and pork with potato salad and coleslaw…read moreon the side. Both meats were moist and the ribs were especially good. The only downside was the pork portion had quite a bit of fat. My wife also ordered the two-meat platter with turkey and beef along with baked beans and yellow rice. We always share our meals, so I got to try both meats. The turkey was nicely cooked and flavorful, but the beef was a bit tough, less tender and juicy than we were expecting. 3.5 / 5

My group of 5 enjoyed the picnic lunch. All the sides were a hit. I especially liked the beans and…read moremy mom liked the southern potato salad (with mustard). We arrived, ordered, and left quickly. The drive home was short so I feel like the BBQ should have been warmer.

So I am adjusting my review of this fast food joint, due to the "owners" snooty, uncalled for and…read moreviolently unhinged response to my review on Google. Wow, I must have really struck a nerve! It's ALWAYS the lackluster places, that don't take constructive criticism very well. You have no idea how much I can smoke, and I will smoke circles around you. How many competitions have you been in again? No need to act all snooty, because your food sucks and you don't know how to carve a tri-tip, nor do you know how to smoke a brisket. And your "professional pitmaster" Can't even smoke a pork butt for pulled pork, but in such a hurry to crank out an inferior product, can only make sliced. What is that, 6 hours on a smoker? Hahaha!!! In my no holds barred review, I actually complimented you on MULTIPLE facets. And since you want to act the way that you're acting and throw a fit because you're serving an inferior product and bragging about speed over quality, I'm going to knock you down to one star! How do you like that? REAL pitmasters smoke brisket (AND PULLED pork) And the last I checked, it's not on YOUR menu. ::shrug:: Your food actually sucks, and I was trying to be positive and give you guys a higher rating, by someone who actually KNOWS BBQ, but since you went and did what you did, I'll just come out & say it! "One" rack of ribs XD. My ribs are Johnny Trigg style, and take 6 hours from beginning to end with another 12 going into prep, and I can smoke WAY more than one rack at a time, dummy. Do you even know what kind of smoker I have? Did you bother to look? Ditch the attitude. Because the only thing you're really got going on for you right now, is that you don't use a pellet oven. How about this, I'll come back through, and take over your operation for a week, free of charge, and show you how it's REALLY done, and get your ratings up a little bit higher, and make sure that not just the locals are leaving your reviews? We'll see who the amateur is then. You have no idea what I've smoked in my life, or the smokers that I've used. You also have zero idea about my culinary past. Rage emotion much? Yeah, that's a telltale sign of insecurity. How about this, I'll bring an offset reverse flow trailer smoker, park it in Circle k, and take all of your business while you're in a scurry "wrapping" your "87 pounds of beef" or whatever it is to a demographic that doesn't know true barbecue, But are just happy to have something other than Mexican and Cuban food. You probably serve "Award winning 'fall of the bone' ribs", which in a competition, you would be disqualified for. Because all you got to do is steam those puppies and then throw them in your traeger (sp?) and slap on your pungent, lame, whack sauce that you emphatically offer, to cover up the inferiority of your barbecue. You should have kept your mouth shut. I compliment you, and you take a dump on me? Y'all better hope a REAL smokehouse doesn't open up in your demographic, because you'll go belly up. As a matter of fact, I've actually been looking for a new location for a new restaurant. Hmmmm.... Yeah... Smokin "D's" is RIGHT HAHAHAHA!

The male server was attentive and competent but my craft beer was poured as a low abv sour and not my Swamphead IPA hazy request, which was switched out quickly. My Prohibition Burger & Egg was seasoned perfectly and the boiled cajun peanuts had a nice unexpected spicy kick. Aside from the tasty eats, the beautiful 1920's themed bar is notably a mixologists dream. Maybe add a true Speak Easy to the place which would be a cool addition. There was a walk thru to a pricey steakhouse, but not hidden so not really a Speak Easy concept if that was the intent.

The…read moreplace has a great atmosphere dark, vintage speakeasy vibe with live music, neon accents, and a lively energy that makes it feel more like a night-out destination than just a restaurant. The food was good across the board. The burgers stood out as the highlight juicy, flavorful, and cooked well. The fries and appetizers were also solid, and portions were generous enough to leave satisfied. The drink menu is extensive too, with a strong cocktail selection that fits the whole Prohibition theme. Service was friendly and generally on point, even though it was busy. The staff kept things moving and checked in without being intrusive.

The pit master and my server were both friendly and the service was excellent and fast. I'm not a local but will be in the area regularly and I have found my bbq place in St. Augustine. The only suggestion I can offer to make it better would be to open up a restaurant in the Savannah Ga area, preferably around exit 87 off I-95. Great atmosphere, food and service. I highly recommend it. Can't wait to bring my wife to visit.

We went straight to the brewery area. I ordered a black cherry cider, and the boyfriend got a flight. The cider was amazing. We ordered BBQ too: a turkey sandwich on Texas toast and a pastrami sandwich. Both were fantastic.

Very limited selection of drinks. I had the Nathan's hot dog on a bun, They have no chili to put on the dawg to add some test to it. Very filling that is for sure. I had the Mac & Cheese as a side. My grandmother would roll over in her grave if she saw this. Not using elbow macaroni and the cheese is like a thick soup very unappetizing. People get crazy over the use of cheese on Mac & cheese. Nothing else stood out about this place Like I said the only place to eat so think carefully. Service was good then again on the screen they ask for you to consider a tip for what taking my order. That is what your job is not sure why I should tip you. I pick it up from the counter, get my condiments, napkins, straws and so forth. Where is my tip ?????

It is a super cute wooden station at the Fountain of Youth that we visited today. You place your order. They give you a buzzer and you pick your table of choice and wait a short time and voila!

The Mac n Cheese was one of the best that I have tasted. My daughter had the Crab Cake sandwich with Mac n Chrese. She loved it! We are here on vacation but we will try to come back again before leaving. You've got to try it!
