If you are on a road trip, like us, don't be worried about taking an extra 15 minutes off of I75 to hit this place. And don't forget to squeeze the bbq udders for some extra sauce. :-)

Their locally made spirits are fantastic, and the cocktail menu is seriously impressive. The Astoria Bourbon cocktails are excellent, with everything from a classic Old Fashioned to some really creative options. The Ascend Vodka drinks are just as good, and the Jenkins Creek Gin cocktails are fresh, flavorful, and incredibly well crafted. You can tell they put real thought into the ingredients, presentation, and balance of every drink. We tried The Springs, and it was as fun as it was delicious. The presentation with the little duck was perfect! If you come to Marker 48 for the beer, absolutely take a look at the cocktail menu too. Having locally made bourbon, vodka, gin, and rum turned into cocktails this good makes this place something special. Definitely one of Brooksville's gems.

Mission BBQ absolutely knocked it out of the park! The brisket was incredibly moist, tender, and packed with flavor. The turkey breast was some of the best I've had--juicy, perfectly smoked, and far from dry. The mac and cheese was rich and creamy, and the baked beans were delicious with just the right balance of sweetness and smoky flavor. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, and the portions were generous. Great food, great atmosphere, and friendly service. We'll definitely be back for more! read more
