*** Reviewing for the Cape Coral location ***…read more I love to support small businesses and I'm glad I stumbled upon this place. I ordered a brisket, ribs, smoked wings with mac n' cheese and baked beans. Brisket - Fantastic. It's a good amount of fat on the meat where it's juicy and not dry. Super flavorful, didn't need any sauce and tender. By far my Favorite. Ribs - Great. It has good texture and flavor and I enjoyed it. Smoked wings - Smoked and cooked to perfection. The sauce they toss it in is what made it unique too. Mac n' cheese and baked beans were good too! If I recall, I believe the beans had brisket pieces in it too. Service was great. The cashier and owner himself were Super friendly and nice. Whenever I'm in the mood for barbeque, I would genuinely come back to support this place. I rather here than go support a terrible chain bbq place. This hidden gem is located in an apartment building near downtown Cape Coral. Free street parking but also free public parking next to the Dollar Tree located across the street.

The brisket was incredibly tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. It had a beautiful bark on the outside while staying juicy on the inside, and they didn't skimp on the portions. Every bite practically melted in my mouth. Piled onto a soft, fresh bun, it was simple but done exceptionally well--letting the quality of the barbecue speak for itself. The fries were hot and crispy, making the perfect side, and the restaurant was clean, welcoming, and ran like a well-oiled machine. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly despite how busy they were. If you're a brisket fan, this sandwich is a must-order. It's one of those meals that has you thinking about the next visit before you've even finished eating. Mission BBQ definitely earned a spot on my list of go-to barbecue joints.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing BBQ meals I've ever…read morepurchased. I ordered the Two Meat Plate for about $27, and the portion was extremely underwhelming. The ribs had very little actual meat on them and were mostly bone, fat, and cartilage. For the price, I expected a much more substantial serving. The mac and cheese was bland and lacked flavor, the sweet potato fries were average at best, and the cornbread was stale and dry. Overall, the meal looked much better on the menu than what I actually received. I left still hungry and felt like I wasted my money. Based on the quality, portion size, and taste, I cannot justify the price. I hope management addresses these issues because this experience did not meet expectations. Order Togo bit next to abandon movie theater.

Today our search for good barbecue has finally ended. We found Beaus BBQ after reading an article…read moreabout them. Intrigued by the menu and especially blue corn bread.

We chatted and shared how the food truck began and how hard he has worked to build his business. He returned again to give us a sample of the brisket burnt ends. Melt in your mouth!! We will keep following Beau's. If you love barbeque and love supporting hard working local business...keep your eyes open for this gem!!

Smoke'n Pit Bar-B-Que…read more Atmosphere and Service: We stopped by around 5:00 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. The interior is not fancy, but it is thoughtfully laid out and has a classic barbecue feel. Our waitress was quick to bring drinks and take our order, which made the visit start smoothly. The menu offers a wide variety of barbecue meats, along with fish and simpler options like hamburgers and hot dogs. Overall, there is something to suit a broad range of tastes. What We Ordered: * 3 Baby Back Rib Dinners with Baked Potato, Corn, Coleslaw & Garlic Bread * Fish & Shrimp Combo with Baked Potato, Corn & Applesauce * Fish & Shrimp Combo with Sweet Potato, Corn, Coleslaw & Garlic Bead Food Quality: The baby back ribs were decent, but they seemed a little dry. Adding barbecue sauce helped quite a bit and improved the flavor. I was very disappointed with the fried shrimp included in the fish combo dinner. After removing the breading, I found that there was barely any shrimp inside. The baked potato was average in size and came with only a packet of sour cream and a few butter packets, so it felt fairly basic. The corn on the cob was half a portion but was okay. The coleslaw had a slight bite to it, but it was also only average. Overall, nothing really stood out or delivered a strong flavor. I must give the Smoke'n Pit Bar-B-Que a 3 out of 5 stars.

The only caveat is I would call this a great local spot. With four adults and 3 children ( 6-12) we had a bit of everything from the menu and everything was very good. From ribs to wings, club sandwiches and baked potato all were delicious. To me the most impressive part was the server ( Katelyn) as well as the staff that brought the meal to the table. All young, polite and just plain nice kids. Kudos to them all. If you are a local or tourist or someone in between this is a great spot to have on your list of "go to's"

Fine by me, I took my beer and left... sitting at the table out front to watch the traffic go past. A few minutes later, the cook/chef brought out my dinner. A portion of brisket and a thick slice of "cheese-stuffed meatloaf" with cucumber salad and cole slaw. Brisket was excellent. Meatloaf was amazing (and quite spicy!). Cole slaw was meh. Cucumber salad was great. It's not a huge portion of food but it was completely enjoyable. This place probably gets very busy during high season so it was nice to experience when it was not so busy. Most of the other joints around here are seafood so if you're looking for something land-based, this will satisfy. [Review 16766 overall - 1492 in Florida - 279 of 2022.]
