Granny's Southern Smokehouse was just that ... Smokey flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness with the sauce. I really enjoyed my meal. I was very impressed with the food portion for lunch as well as the hotness of the food and flavor. I placed an order for pickup not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm so happy that I searched up lunch in my area and found this gem. The service was quick over the phone and I was greeted by a nice young lady at the register. The ambiance is nice as it gives an old country feel, my preference is always too sit outside but if you prefer inside there's plenty of seating. I might come back tomorrow as I stated the food was really good. Kudos to the chef and staff for such excellent service :-)

If you're looking for the best BBQ around, Granny's Southern Smokehouse is it. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The meats were tender and smoky, and the portions were generous--but the real standout was the corn. It was seriously out of this world and easily the best side on the table. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole place had a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to anytime I'm craving real Southern BBQ.

Well we moved to the area and wanted some Country eating and found Granny's. Well I have to tell you it felt like we were right at home. The outside is welcoming with a grill with a smoker attached to it. You're able to either sit inside or outside to eat. They have multiple entrees and size to choose from which was very appealing. Then we go over to my sweets and honestly they had a variety to choose from so we ended up getting one of each. The Banana pudding and the Strawberry Shortcake (homemade) was the best. Now the fried Oreos were the only item we didn't get. The quality and quantity of the food was very decent. Well I can say we found our first restaurant that we will be eating from since we just moved here in St. Cloud Florida. Wait the welcoming we received when we first walked in was so sweet and heart filling.

If you're craving true Southern BBQ, Granny's Southern Smokehouse ! this spot delivers! We enjoyed the BBQ ribs, pulled pork, and chicken--all smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive: crispy fried green tomatoes, creamy mac and cheese, perfectly fried okra, and sweet, savory baked beans that tied everything together. Every bite tasted homemade and comforting. A real Southern feast worth coming back for!

This hole in a wall is definitely a hidden gem that you don't want to miss. From the white picket fence out front to the blue and white checkered tablecloths inside, you definitely feel like you are back in your granny's kitchen. You are immediately greeted by employees and made to feel right at home. I had the pulled pork, corn on the cob and green beans. My partner had the pulled beef and fried pickles. So good!

We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it! We came on a Friday night around 6pm, expecting the restaurant to be packed but as we walked in we quickly realized we were the only patrons there. During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!

Our server, Jordan, was an absolute delight and very efficient. We had the barbecue chicken and the tri-tips...really delicious and generous portions. Prices were quite reasonable.

We will definitely return here for barbecue in the future.

I would say that its about Sonnys quality maybe even a touch better. I ordered the half rack baby backs with potato salad, mac n cheese, and garlic bread. The mac n cheese was the weakest dish on the plate, the cheese had absolutely no taste. The potato salad tasted store bought. Not Publix but maybe Walmart mustard style. The tiny piece of garlic toast was tasty. The ribs were very tender but half leaned towards the fattier side. I like some fat on my baby backs but these had just to much fat on them. Fall off the bone tasty tender on the better half. I did like the sauces they had. I will be back to to try their spare ribs.

They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.

Brisket burger was good, a bit greasy, but flavor was ok. The loaded chips were definitely different. Chips were a barbecue flavor, smothered in blue cheese dressing and large chunks of blue cheese.

Stopped in here to grab some food for Father's Day lunch. The goal was to feed 4 people, and have a…read morevariety of items. When we arrived the line was out the door and went around to the back. It was hot, but the team took great care of us. They made sure everyone had water, and for those of age they even offered one Smokemade Lager from Ten 10 Brewing. The line did move at a slow and steady pace. And I appreciate them for offering the waters, the beer, and for managing the line and keeping it orderly. Once it was my turn to order, I did my best not to order everything, but also did my best to pick some favorites. While there was only four of us, we wanted to have a spread and have leftovers. So I ordered two brisket sandwiches, one pulled pork sandwich, one philly sandwich, 6 ct- tallow fried wings (hot korean bbq), large side of cheddar grits, large side of pinto beans, large side of mac and cheese, and a large side of potato salad. When the sandwiches were being made I was immediately impressed by the amount of brisket and pulled pork being put on the sandwiches. While packing our food, I noticed they threw in a loaf of bread. When they handed it to me, I asked if the bread was our ls and they said it was. We didn't order it, but I am thinking since our order was over $100 it might be something that is included, not very sure. Once to my destination we unpacked all of the food and laid it out. It all looked so good, and the smell was out of this world. Everyone quickly made plates and dove it. It didn't take long for us to start commenting on how delicious everything was and that we loved it. The sandwiches were generously packed with super flavourful meat. The cheddar grits were amazing. Some of the best mac and cheese I have had. And the pinto beans were great and I loved the meat they include in the. While we all thought the potato salad was good, it was the least exciting of everything. I think we all prefer a wetter and more southern style. My wife did enjoy her philly, but did make the comment that it was more brisket tasting and not enough philly like. It was also packed with meat and looked amazing. The wings were a nice little addition, great flavor and cooked perfectly. And that free loaf of bread was fantastic, it was similar to a potato bread. Everything was so good and well with the wait. I look forward to my next meal here. The staff was phenomenal and so helpful. Everyone was in great spirits and did a wonderful job, especially considering how busy it was.

I have to be honest I wasn't impressed by my visit to Smoke Made Meats on Crystal Lake Drive…read more I had the brisket sandwich, but the meat was almost a paste, and the BBQ sauces didn't really deliver, super watery. The mac and cheese also left me wanting more it just wasn't as rich as I hoped. That said, their collard greens were outstanding truly the star of the show. And the butter gooey cake? That was a sweet win. I also tried their Frisco fries, and they were decent, but I wouldn't rush back just for those. The ambience is really laid-back. It's like any regular barbecue place. I saw at least 3 to 4 tables of people sitting down and enjoying their barbecue and they seem to have a steady stream of traffic. The cashier who is also getting our food order together seemed really nice. She had a great personality. I honestly don't feel the need to go back and visit again. I feel like I would enjoy barbecue more from four rivers.
