    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 :-)

    Great Bbq place. Lots of barbecues to chose from. Small mom and pop family owned. Not crowded at all and lots of parking space.

    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 ate at this restaurant at MCO in terminal A around 2pm today…read more We were promptly seated in Christine's section. (If this was rated on Christine's service, this would be a five star rating. Alas, there were a few things we noticed that could be improved, and nothing to do with our server.) When we were being seated, one of the staff came and cleaned the floor for us, then another member of staff zipped right in front of us and interrupted her as she was trying to finish. It sounded like she was critiquing her in front of us. We were just happy to have a clean place to sit. I asked Christine about an item on the menu, she asked another lady working there for assistance in answering. This lady unnecessarily chided our server right in front of us! She told her to call someone else for the answer. It was a simple yes or no answer, it took her a minute to find out, but it was too much for her? I didn't catch her name, but she was wearing a red shirt, This restaurant is open concept. Our table was located right next to the open kitchen. The only thing separating us from the very chatty, gossiping, staff, was a short partition with no privacy screen, so we couldn't help but hear about who wasn't showing up to work, and other gossip. Our meals were very good. I enjoyed my Bbq and broccoli slaw, thank you for answering my question Christine, your poise was impressive. The cornbread was tasty. The hot honey and jalapeños gave it a delicious kick. If the restaurant managers could take a moment and use authoritative skills instead of authoritarian, ie don't correct your waitstaff with that uncomfortable tone of voice people use when they want to feel important in front of customers., no less. This would be a five star. That's bad form.

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!

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.

First up were the breakfast tacos, loaded with chopped brisket, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and salsa on housemade beef fat tortillas. These are a must. Those tortillas paired with their smoky brisket made them some seriously good breakfast tacos. Next came the biscuits topped with rich and creamy gravy, followed by the Filipino breakfast sandwich layered with longanisa sausage, a fried egg, crispy hash brown, American cheese and sambal mayo on a potato roll.

They did still have the giant beef rib when we arrived. But at $36 a rib, we opted to go with the pork ribs instead. Each of the general protein servings is a half pound. So we ended up with a portion of the pork rib, the pulled pork and the pork belly. The pork ribs was really good, although my husband didn't like the glaze that they had on the rib but the meat was delicious. The pulled pork was very good not fatty, which is fantastic. The pork belly is cut into giant chunks. It is very tasty. It does have a decent amount of fat on it. This location also has a variety of sides to choose from. We opted for the collard greens and the mac & cheese. The collard greens were good. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. As some of the pieces were a bit crunchy. The mac & cheese was good although the cheese sauce felt a little gooey and we attributed to that they may use a rue to make their sauce. Overall - we enjoyed the food and would check them out again.

The brisket melted in my mouth like butter and the pulled pork had great flavor too! The baked beans were sweet but not overpowering and the mac n cheese was the common you would expect with bbq. The restaurant is really open inside drawing your eyes to where you order. Tables inside are long to seat many people but they do have smaller ones too. It would be nice if they had more small table seating though. Prices are in range with other bbq restaurants. My only complaint was they made my tray of food minus the brisket as they were getting a fresh one out just made. They left my tray sitting with my food losing temperature. Fortunately it wasn't too long but they could use a heat lamp to hold food waiting for an extra hot item. Otherwise, Overall I was pleased and would go back again for sure.

Honestly, the price is great. But I'd rather have paid double for food that I could enjoy. This stuff was really bad. I'm not convinced that it's actually BBQ. For starters, the sliced meat was almost like leather, and the chicken was tough, too. The meat didn't seem to have any seasoning at all. Certainly, there was no tasty rub like the stuff I had last summer in Amarillo. More importantly, I didn't get much of a smoky flavor and didn't really notice any smoke ring on anything. The turkey was really odd in color and consistency. No smoke ring but somewhat pinkish white all the way through and dry as hell with no seasoning ring on the outside. My guess is that it was lunch meat or some bad product that comes prepackaged. I can't imagine why people go to this restaurant. The BBQ place that closed was so much better.
