    - Steven B's BBQ Checklist - 1. Great Yelp reviews. Check!…read more2. Privately owned business. Check! 3. Smoker on site. Check! 4. Makes their own sauces. Check! It's been a couple of years since I last reviewed them. Let's see how they handled lunch today. Ratings- Almost 300 reviews from the two big review sites with an average of 4.6! That's damn fine! Arriving- Off the beaten track a couple of miles off US Route 27. Let your GPS do its thing. Limited parking but it works, Ambience- Teeny, tiny neat & clean place. A tiny patio. Three picnic tables near the front door. Seating inside for maybe 10 and a small patio. There is a counter for ordering and paying. The menu is on the wall, and I have posted a picture including prices. Customer Service- I've never had a problem on many visits. You order. You pay. You get a smile. Five minutes later it comes out, and you get another smile. Simple and painless. Food- For this meal I ordered a Brisket Platter. My doctor said my cholesterol was a little low, so my sides were fries and corn nuggets. The brisket is pictured before I added their homemade mustard sauce. It was a solid no frills lunch. Crispy sides and savory, lean meat. At 11:15 on a Wednesday there were a dozen folks ordering so they must be doing something right. Conclusion- If you are blowing through the middle of Highlands County and craving some Q for a quick lunch, this would satisfy!

    Very low key counter service but the food is outstanding! Styrofoam plates and packaging plastic…read morewater bottles. The food tastes very good with a nice smoke ring on the brisket!

The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests. Having been in the food service industry, I can relate to the job and know what it takes. They all have IT, and Big John's is lucky to have them! The atmosphere was perfect. I prefer outdoor seating, and the outside patio area was as clean as the inside. Makes it really easy to stay a while! ;) Overall, this establishment exemplifies what dining SHOULD be. Keep up the great work guys and ladies, you have a new lifelong customer here, no doubt about it!

    I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

As a native Florida boy this was truly appreciated :-) The brisket was def above average for FL BBQ. The ribs were good, the smoke wings were very good. The sides were enjoyable too. I wasn't crazy about the bread - it was my only real issue here - which was minor. Johnson's is easily on my top 10 favorite BBQ spots in Florida! We loved the chopped Brisket! We will def be back ! Cheers !

    Popular BBQ restaurant in operations since 1954. This reminds me of a Sonny's decor and setup…read more Mostly tables but some booths. A few tables outside by the front entrance. Lively noise inside. BBQ: meat is really succulent. Tried both turkey and pulled pork on the Belly Buster sandwich. This comes with one side, sweet potato fries with cinnamon sugar for me! Bun was a little dry maybe because it was lightly toasted. Two sauces to choose from: original and sweet. Went with sweet which has a great taste but a tad runny. Fries were good and plentiful. Service is excellent. Employeee are friendly, this is Plant City of course. Drinks were readily filled. Food came out quick even with a packed restaurant. Original wait on a Friday around 6 was 25 minutes. Closed on Sunday for family time! Perfect spot to come if you're in town for the Strawberry Festival. Parking can be challenging and is a bit of a cluster. It is next to a commercial operation with employee parking, dumpsters and semi trucks everywhere. It also shares space with Fred's Market, another long-time southern all-u-can eat restaurant. If you can't find parking around the restaurant there is always diaganol parking along N. Alexander St.

We got the "two meats and two sides" combo. We also learned that the lemonade and fruit punch come with refills. I usually don't even like fruit punch, but this one was so good that I made my boyfriend try it again! The lemonade was also excellent -- not overly sweet and not too tangy. They really make great homemade drinks here. The coleslaw was fantastic, and the green beans were cooked perfectly with great flavor. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with both the house sauce and tangy sauce. Everything was delicious! The more we ate, the more we wanted to come back and try the rest of the menu. I also got the chicken breast with collard greens and mac and cheese. I'm saving some for tomorrow, but I already know it's going to be amazing! "Lastly, their prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of food they serve. The value here is honestly amazing. Everyone there was so nice, and I think we even met the owner. We truly feel like we found the best BBQ spot! We loved the food so much that we took photos and sent them to our families. Super friendly people and fantastic food -- we'll definitely be back!
