Food was horrible Mac and cheese mushy and garlicky! Chicken was tough and no taste. They have also changed the good French fries for the cheaper ones nasty. We haven't been here in about a year because things weren't good here anymore. Thought thangs would have changed but nope was told 25 minutes it took over a hour and a half. We will never be going back sorry read more

Deep Down South BBQ - Chicken dinner - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Was craving some BBQ and stumbled across this food truck online. Here is a recap of the food I tried. Brisket - 8/10 Very impressed. Moist and tender. I like to dip my brisket in bbq sauce and their sauce paired really well. Ribs - 7/10 Decent. Tender, good flavor, main downside was some of them didn't have much meat. Baked Beans - 8/10. Flavor profile right up my alley. Wish it had some small bits of pork or brisket in it. Mac n Cheese - 10/10. Some of the best Mac I've ever had. No complaints. Loved it! Garlic bread was amazing. I had a bite of a French fry as well and it was good. Lacked salt but that how I like mine. My son was wishing it had some. I wish they had a place to sit and eat. It looks like they have the room. read more

I had to give this place a star in order to post my review. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given any stars, because the service is so poor. They're so slow, and they don't apologize for it. If you want to eat the same day you place an order, then don't order food from this place. It's not worth your time or aggravation. read more

I don't have a lot of experience giving reviews, but this place is really good. I discovered it when I was driving for Uber eats and had to pick up for others ordering online. The smell driving up to the food truck is intoxicating! The flavor is rich with just the right amount of spice and kick. The only thing is you might have to wait in line for a while. read more

Wait time is ridiculous here. Pre-ordered through Yelp app which gave me close to a hour wait. Get there a little past LATEST arrival time and still food was not ready to pickup and go. Will not be coming here for awhile. Being black I try to support black business but this one has got to do better. read more

WOW.. all of the negative reviews was a surprise to me. i took a shot. i pulled up and ordered. took about 25 minutes after i ordered. You should call in your order. they were busy. I watched them from the car filling orders the whole time i was waiting on my food. Very good grub. the sides were excellent. I ordered 2 meals. I ordered the pulled pork box with corn bread and collard greens. All were good. the sides were great. Collard greens were fresh and flavorful. cornbread was good also. my 2nd order was the bbq chicken box. corn on the cobb and cole slaw was my sides. corn was ok, cole slaw was very good. bbq sauce was very good. chicken with sauce was flavorful but a little dry. i will go back. read more

The BEST BBQ I have had hands down since moving to Florida. We went after church Sunday, yes there was a bit of a wait but it was sooooo worth it! I had rib tips dinner with Mac and cheese and greens, my kiddo had the chicken nuggets and fries. Everything is homemade and delicious, the Mac and cheese taste so good it'll bite you back! Thank goodness I live in Naples or I'd eat there way more than my metabolism can handle. Homemade sweet potatoe pie also amazing! Won't even bother trying anymore bbq restaurants this is our new fav. KC native so we know a thing or two about BBQ, good grilling takes time and this is beyond worth the wait! Thanks an amazing meal! read more

I am so glad I found this place through Yelp. The sauce was amazing and they put a healthy amount of it on the ribs. The macaroni and cheese and the collard greens were great. For $20 a full slab with two sides you just can't go wrong. read more

Deep Down South BBQ - This picture does not do them any justice. These were the best ribs I have ever had. - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Found this place on the Yelp app while leaving the beach. We had the Chicken meal #1 (8pieces of bbq, baked beans, Cole slaw & 4 pieces of garlic bread) cost $16.99. When I say good azz food I mean good! We will surely patronize on our next visit for sure. NOTE: Location is incorrect on Yelp it's located on the corner of Simpson street & Fowler Avenue. read more

This place was the bomb a year ago. There was a couple pieces of rice in my pulled pork meat. The Mac & Cheese was very dry and hardly any cheese. I don't know if they switched cooks or just don't care anymore. There was a dead animal smell when I was paying for my food. I don't know if it was garbage or a near by dead animal. No one wants to smell that before getting their food. I'm not going back anytime soon. read more

It might be tasty, but we waited for over an hour for our order. The girl at the window was so so rude and made no apologies for how long it took. Made us late to our appointment. Not worth the wait, no matter how good it is. read more

This place was recommended by a co worker here in Florida. I thought it'd be a great place for Soul food. I was looking forward to being able to order chicken and waffles, yams, hush puppies, deviled eggs and catfish. Instead it was a large truck in the middle of nowhere. It's more of a hot fire barbecue than medium temperature smokehouse. The food was sorely overdone. I think cardboard is less dry. I was kind of disappointed and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. One Of two saving graces for them was the attitude. Outwardly friendly and a great comedic show of smack talking. The other grace is the heavenly cornbread and the sweet garlic fried corn. The baked beans were sweet. The collard greens had bones that I suspect were from the ham hock. I ended up throwing away most of it and was glad that it was only $15. Half my portion of $30. I really was hoping that it would have been better because it seemed like a place I'd want to come back. Guess not. read more

Well folks I may not be crazy for the bbq but the Oxtail dinner is great. First this is only served on Sunday They open at 11 AM. If you get there too early it may not be ready or too late it may be gone. Plus there are no tables so eat in the car or go home. The oxtails were meaty and delish served with a gravy and rice.OutStanding. OH My the corn bread full of flavor and so moist. The best so far for me. The cole slaw is number 1 on my list. Now the mac and cheese just a bit dry but tasty. So my suggestion is hit the Costco at 10 AM then head on down for this fabulous meal on Sunday at 11 AM read more

I just went to Deep Down South BBQ and ordered sides only rice, potato salad, Mac and cheese, & collard greens and waited for over 30 minutes to be told there are tickets in front of me and I have to wait. I will never ever support this business again. I was asked if I would like to leave a tip when I paid and I had no problem doing so, but 30 minutes later I don't get it, I haven't even received my food and tipping for horrible service. Worst experience ever. read more

I personally love deep down south and never had an issue with the food, the only problem is the wait times. I think it's ridiculous that multiple times I've called in an order and was told a 25-30 min wait window and then I get there and it's over a 1 1/2 hour wait for my food. We love the food and the staff are fantastic but we shouldn't have to wait in a parking lot for that long. All we were told when asking how long is left, was that "it's coming soon". Soon doesn't mean an hour later. read more

What a variety of different food & everything that I have had from here has been phenomenal. The seafood, the ribs,the corn bread,the collard greens,chicken wings and wow fried garlic crabs. The owner is local and super nice. A definite must try if you haven't already. True southern bbq and the prices are great especially with the amount of food that you receive. I highly recommend. read more

Have tried ordering from here many times off of uber eats and every single time the order gets immediately cancelled. No reason why and it's not like they even had time to look at the order as fast as it's cancelled. Why do you even offer uber eats as an option if you can never get it. Bad business. read more

Great prices and flavor! Love their wings and pulled pork sandwich!! Can't wait to back and try more!

They tried to charge me $15 for a side of fries, after I asked them to remove the fries, the "owner" unaware of what is happening start at yell rudely at me and my mom, At the end the order came wrong read more

I got the pulled pork combo with collard greens and baked beans with a side of fried corn and A PIECE (75¢ not the 3 for $1.49) of garlic bread and besides the garlic bread mishap and the customer service revived over the phone, the food here is phenomenal. The wait time is usually a little bit longer than told, but the food is worth it. Plus I love a good black owned business!! read more

Great food! Visited multiple times a great local truck that is family owned. Recommend the honey garlic wings, fries, fried crabs, and fried shrimp. read more

This trailer that's right not restaurant poisoned my family and I. I've never been sicker in my life, I should of known when the ribs were cold. Also he doesn't have running water to wash his hands so that might of been the issue. Very disappointing.... read more

Hands down THE BEST BBQ I have ever had in my life. Definitely the best in SWFL. I have been here several times, but this is my first yelp review. The food is ALWAYS amazing and, it's not too expensive. I ordered the wing and fries combo. My wings were honey BBQ. They were cooked to perfection as well as the fries. For 7 wings and fries my total was $7.29. The only con is that it takes long for your food. If you can, its best to call at least 25 minutes ahead. But, it is definitely worth the wait! read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE!!! Poor customer service hangs up the phone on my face ! Tryed to call for a business opportunity! To see if they were able to come on my show very disappointed in how I was treated you never know who's on the other line. You should always maintain your professionalism SMH . #FOODTRUCKNATION read more

We ordered through Uber Eats. The food tasted good. The wait time was long- with it being a Saturday night and during the pandemic, I can understand the delays. When we received our food, some was hot and some parts were cold. One of my sides was missing, as well as a dessert. I would return again, but perhaps in person would be better. read more

Oh my gosh this was the BEST BBQ I've had in so long thank you!!! Honestly so tender and flavorful

This has to be the least professional place!! I ordered yesterday from grub hub and the restaurant canceled my order for no reason, so I tried to place my order again, AGAIN it was canceled, I had to call grub hub myself to find out it was canceled because some items were not available, you would think the restaurant would reach out to see if something could be substituted!!! So today much earlier in the day I again to attempt to order food, on grub hub, I then get a call notifying me that my driver was at the restaurant only to find out they were canceling my entire order AGAIN because the restaurant again was out of an item . TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, Manager wouldn' not even come to the phone . I would give a 0 star if I could read more

Nothing is more disrespectful then hearing a worker say I can wait. I placed my order on UberEats my order was ready for pickup 45 min after I placed the order arrived and ended up waiting another 45 min while they fill walk up orders. At one point one of the ladies said "it's uberEats, he can wait." They treated me like I was a driver when in fact I'm the customer who just chose to order through UberEats. It's reasons like this you can't support black business. When I asked the cashier if it normally takes this long she dismissed my question and went back to helping someone else, no sorry for the wait. My first and last time read more

My daughter and I have been wanting to try the fried crabs during my visit to Ft. Myers. Much to our disappointment they were out of crabs that day. So I ordered wings and fries with house blend sauce and she ordered Carolina pulled pork. She made the better selection. Best overall comment - wonderful inviting aroma, generous portion size. I prefer grilled or smoked wings and forgot to ask. The wings are fried, which is ok, I like fried chicken. However it was all about the sauce - instead of enhancing/complementing the chicken wings the sauce overpowered them. I didn't care for the sauce. read more

Great food for a reasonable price. They have lots of BBQ options. I'd suggest calling or ordering ahead of time because there was about a 30 min wait for food last time I went. I'd definitely order from them again. read more

Deep Down South BBQ - Fried crabs are amazing ! - Barbeque Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

I understand the circumstances at moment but waiting an hour after coming to pay AFTER placing an over the phone order and watching people who ordered in person leave and get food is ridiculous. Definitely not the service expected after the last few visits. read more

If it wasn't for the wait this place could easily be a 5.The food was great but waiting for an hour outside was not the worth the wait.Highly suggest calling ahead read more

not good... all bone all fat, where's the actual meat? Soggy mac & cheese. So disappointed. Wish I'd gone to Mission BBQ instead and not wasted my money here read more

Overall it was a good experience. The wait time is long. May be a good idea to call ahead. I had a Cuban combo, with shrimp, fish and fried crab. It was good. Cole Slaw is too sweet. My husband really enjoyed his Pulled pork sandwich but fries were kind of mushy.... read more

Welp here we go, I ordered my food around 5:24 through grub hub and the site gave me a time of 6:04 to 6:24 for my food to be ready got there a little after 6:24 to be sure because I know how they take so long and my food still wasn't ready. I'm done, my goal is to support black owned businesses but this one will not get my business again it's ridiculous how long they take and this been going on before covid I mean an hour and a half after I placed my order, I'm done fam. read more

This is my 5th time coming here. The food is good most of the time. The wait usually is long. However, today the wait was 55 MINUTES for our food. Called in for pickup at 12:40, lady said 20 minutes. I get there and paid but no food. Waited another 10 minutes and still no food. So I asked the lady if I should come back and she said "yes I'm sorry. We're trying to get our catering out right now and we're doing the best we can." Well then don't tell me 20 minutes! I understand restaurants get busy but you've got to let the customer know the correct time to pick up the order. I left and came back and finally picked up the order at approx 1:35pm. TERRIBLE. On top of that, the corn was overcooked. And the large coke had way too much ice. It was literally half full. Very unhappy. I will not be returning. read more

This is hands down the BEST BBQ I may have ever had. I am such a foodie and food has to have flava and love!! I have tried this place several times and be careful that your mama isn't around as you may slap her. (So good make you slap ya mama)... (I do not slap my mother she would kick my a$$). Do not be hesitant because it is a food trailer. The love and time that goes into that barbaque is absolutely well worth the try! read more

Wow! My meals were BAD tonight! Ordered the Pork Chops. OVERCOOKED and too much seasoning. The sides were bland & lukewarm. They normally have a very good mac & cheese, however, today it was runny and tasteless. I did notice that the regular fry cook was not there tonight, so that's "probably" the reason for the pork chops fiasco. I will NOT order them again if the young lady is the fry cook. This place is a hit or miss on most occasions, depending on the work staff. My suggestion to the owner would be to train the staff to be more professional and to be more aware of the work areas, as they tend to be dirty and unorganized often. It might/would help if they change the oil/grease in the fryers as well. Bottom line, worth a try, but, remember I did give you a heads up! If the owner wants to contact me, my email is bfile5k@yahoo. Would be glad to discuss my issues and concerns. read more

I had the fried crab and lobster tail, and both were absolutely wonderful. I can't wait to come through again!
