Making the drive over from Palm Bay was the best decision I made all weekend. Granny's Southern Steakhouse in St. Cloud is the absolute real deal when it comes to authentic, mouth-watering comfort food. I came specifically craving some good barbecue, and it completely blew my expectations out of the water. The ribs are the undeniable star of the menu. They are literally fall-off-the-bone tender with a perfect smoky char and a rich flavor that shows they know exactly what they are doing in the kitchen. They come glazed in a sauce that hits that sweet and tangy sweet spot perfectly, and you don't even need a knife to get through them. Beyond the incredible BBQ, the portions are hearty, the atmosphere is full of classic southern hospitality, and the service makes you feel right at home the second you walk through the doors. If you're anywhere near St. Cloud and want some top-tier barbecue, do yourself a favor and stop here. I'm already looking forward to my next visit! read more

Everything is 10/10 here. The food is so so good! The service is like being with family and the inside has a vibe like no other. Very homey , very comforting. The food is filling and the portions are big. Pricey. But the food is so so soooooooooo good. The brisket is everything. The ribs look amazing I haven't tried them yet. The sides like greens, corn casserole, sweet potato casserole ugh everything here is just perfect. read more

Cute place! You order at the counter and then they will bring the food out. We got the sampler so it came with ribs, chicken, pulled pork and pulled brisket ,three sides (beans, coleslaw and corn casserole), and 4 pieces of Texas toast. We ate in and brought the food out pretty quick! Everything was delicious, the bbq sauce came on the side. The ribs and the pulled pork were my favorite! All the sides were delicious. Best bbq in the area! read more

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. read more

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 :-) read more

What a hidden gem!! Probably the best BBQ food I have had!! Two of us shared the granddaddy's sampler. We chose ribs, pulled pork, pulled brisket and chicken. Sides were Cole slaw, Mac and cheese, corn casserole. Every single item was delicious. Best ribs ever!! We ordered ahead, service on phone and in person was great. Seating area is like you're sitting in granny's backyard. Can't wait to come back! read more

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. read more

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! read more

BEST BBQ IN ST.CLOUD. it's seasoned and not just with sauce. If ya BBQ need sauce then you need seasonin. Granny's food slaps with sauce and without . Thats good BBQ. Even the owner has to stay in the gym or her wouldn't fit through the door. read more

March 26/2025: Dinner with Lisa & Ed. This was good but not super good. It was the very end of the work day so that may have affected the quality of the food. I had the Manor Slammer ($16.99). It was a beef brisket sandwich with a corn bread casserole on top. The beef was dry but the corn bread casserole was delicious! The sides were baked beans that were delic & the fried green tomatoes. The tomatoes were deep fried not pan fried as I'd hoped. I should have asked how they were cooked. I would do this place over again but just at an earlier time of day & different food. read more

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! read more

Granny's Southern Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Cloud, Florida

The best bbq in town! The place feels like a grandma Kitchen. The ribs are absolutely amazing and I loved the corn casserole. The service is also very good! Definitely a hidden gem! read more

This smokehouse is Saint Cloud's best kept secret. The ribs are some of the best you'll find in Central Florida. Scratch that, best you'll find coast to coast near the I4. Homestyle, juicy and tasty. Make sure you try their mustard BBQ sauce on them ribs. read more

I'm from Connecticut but every time I visit Florida and I am in the area I visit this place. I've been three times and every single time has been amazing. The food has so much flavor. You get decent portions and the prices seem fair for the quality of the food. The staff is very nice ! They are welcoming and also knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant look exactly like a house. The inside is decorated nice and the outside has a nice seating area. I absolutely recommend this place if you're a tourist or a resident. read more

I mean, if you enjoy food, you'll enjoy this. There literally isn't anything bad about this place. Kids? Yup. Like sides? Yup. Enjoy flavor? Yup. The ambiance is great - divey, old timey. Eat in the main area if youre dining in, the air is much better. The service is stellar. They check on you and know what theyre doing. We got the sampler and the fries, greens and corn casserole. Get the casserole if nothing else. Wow. Please stop here! What a great local spot. read more

My fiancée and I have been here a handful of times and each time the food is just as amazing as the first visit!

I LOVE THIS PLACE BUT EVERYTIME I COME HERE THEY ARE OUT OF CHICKEN. They need to order more, because this is a recurring thing. The place is based on bbq chicken!!! Fifth time I've came here and they're out of chicken--FIVE TIMES, extremely disappointed I've had to leave every time. UP YOUR GAME because you're losing customers. Learn how to manage inventory especially on busy days. Go to Jimmy bears bbq they never run out of chicken (: read more

Excellent bbq--probably the best pulled brisket and pulled pork I've had in a long time. The ribs are also very good. Collards are amazing and the sweet tea and banana pudding soooooo good! The staff are amazing. I will be back when visiting the area again. . The farm house restaurant is also just like grandmas kitchen. Definitely check them out. read more

A local staple, we were excited to try! We have heard a lot about how Granny's was a must try BBQ place, so we decided to go recently. The restaurant itself is small, but there are seating options both in and outside. The staff were super friendly and helpful! Because it was our first time here we had a few questions about the menu and they were so patient to answer any and all questions we had! The food was okay. It definitely has a very unique flavor profile! The portions were very large as well! Some of our meal highlights were the fry seasoning, BBQ sauce, and the toast!! The food in general was a little underwhelming for as much hype we see this restaurant get on both social media and locally. Overall I'm unsure if I would personally go out of my way to come back, but it was definitely worth going at least once to try it out. read more

OMG!! You talk about some ribs... delicious & ckn, beans, corn casserole, Mac& cheese. Can't wait to go back& try more& the fried pickles. Outstanding & portions are plentiful. Great friendly service!! read more

Jay and his crew knock it out of the park every time. Brisket and pork are always perfect. Love the "Grandma's House" vibe when eating in. Staff is always polite. Pro-tip: fried lemon pepper chicken livers dipped in hot sauce are next world. Also, the pork split is worth every penny. Fries, cheese, pork, BBQ sauce... how can life get any better. Best BBQ I've had around! read more

The food is great. The service was very friendly and nice. The ambiance is rustic. I will be going back offer as I love barbecue. Highly recommended. The ribs are fabulous! read more

Granny's Southern Smokehouse - Granny's Manor Slammer with fried okra and baked beans - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Cloud, Florida

I've had a lot of BBQ in my lifetime and I must say Granny's Southern Smokehouse is hands down the best!

Best place in St. cloud for BBQ and southern style cooking. the ambience is great and the staff are friendly and attentive

I'ma need Granny to move closer to my house. I haven't had gizzards this good in a very long time! My friends know that I'm quick to reach for a salt shaker. Not necessary here. I had considered getting a full pound, but half a pound was more than I could handle. I was happy to have leftovers, though. I didn't know what to expect with the fried corn on the cob, but it turned out to be delightful. The fried okra was tasty, but I had a number of pieces that had tough spines. You don't know it until it jabs you in the gums. Tasty but tricky. The desserts are really good too. The fried Oreo was heavenly if you like those. The strawberry shortcake was tasty too. I'm guessing the banana pudding was amazing because they were all out of it. Oh well. Next time... read more

A quaint, little place, located in Historic Downtown Saint Cloud. To order, you walk up to their service window and get your choice of seating inside at tables for 2-6 guests, or outside- large picnic tables. They are friendly, helpful, and prompt. Their food is good. The pork ribs have an exclusive, distinct seasoning and come with a side of their sweet bbq sauce. I enjoyed the sides: collard greens and fried pickles (with a side of ranch). The portions are reasonable and prices average out to about $20.00 per person with sides and drink. The platters come with a Texas toast slice and two sides. They also have chicken wings, gizzards, and livers. They have sandwiches and the usual suspects for accompaniments. My party had fries, baked beans, and coleslaw, with their sandwiches (pulled brisket and turkey sandwiches). They loved their fries' seasoning. They have a kids' menu and serve Pepsi products. Granny's Southern is closed on Mondays. read more

Like there is no way to describe the awesomeness of Granny's Southern Smokehouse. From their bone licking delicious wings. To every bite of their food Granny's does not miss a mark. We ordered the Granddaddy sampler to which some substitutions needed to be made due to product shortages. In lieu of ribs we got wings, and in lieu of smoked chicken on the bone we got shredded chicken. Both substitutions were just as amazing if not better. Now one must rave about the fantastic customer service from the phone call to the friendly greeting as one enters this nostalgic place everyone was remarkably courteous and attentive to our desires. We even added more to our order just because of the great service. We ordered fried pickles and fried corn nuggets. With just a hint of room for dessert we also purchased all the remaining banana pudding. read more

I can say this is such a nice place. It is a house and limited seating, but the staff makes up for that. Everyone is so nice. The ribs were very tender they had a something sweet on them which I never had before. All the food was delicious and you get a lot of food. We both the family meal and shared. The cheese fries were so good. We did try the deserts too. They were okay. It was super quiet inside so it was very relaxing and welcoming! I would highly recommend taking the trip! read more

Granny's Southern Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Saint Cloud, Florida

This is a legit bbq spot. The service was spectacular, the portions large and piping hot, and the atmosphere is a perfect bbq spot. I may not have enjoyed all the flavor profiles (I tend to favor savory/spicy for bbq and theirs is sweet), but everything had a lot of attention to seasoning and it did not go unnoticed. Bravo. read more
