Absolutely the best! They've always been a favorite of ours. Family owned and operated and everything is made with love. They catered my daughter's wedding as well and I can't say enough good about the quality service that we received for that as well as each time we stop by. Not open every day and they do sell out so don't wait to go grab your food. read more

What can I say! The best chicken on the Forgotten Coast! You just have to love a food truck putting out the best bbq on the Panhandle

All the way from Chicago, I visit the area frequently to see family. I refuse to leave until we have made a pilgrimage to Paul Gant's BBQ (not that it takes any coercion!) Some of the best BBQ you'll have. The ribs are amazing, pulled pork and smoked chicken are good choices if ribs aren't your thing, and you definitely won't go hungry. These aren't little wimpy ribs, four or five of the and you'll be plenty full. This little joint doesn't look like much; they put all their effort into their BBQ. And peak out behind the trailer to find the smoker where all the magic happens. And pro tip: get the peach cobbler if they have it. I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. read more

Had it catered for a recent event in town. We ordered pork sandwiches and found them to be excellent! read more

Love this place! Never disappointed! We have weekly eat with Paul. Best BBQ in the area.

My husband and I grabbed a quick bite on our way back from Panama City Home Depot- we have been doing some demo on our house.. thanks Michael. We noticed Paul Gant's was open and we always say we will stop- well, we were not disappointed! We got the ribs and they literally melted in our mouths. If you are hungry and need a quick and easy home cooked meal that tastes like heaven in your mouth.. then you need to stop here and sample everything on the menu! read more

Back in town so back to Paul Gant's. Had the pulled pork sandwiches and baked beans. As expected it was soooo good! They never fail to provide extremely good quality and flavor. We'll be back a few more times before we leave and are looking into getting a group to order a smoked turkey for the Super Bowl. Do yourself a favor - just go and say thank you!. read more

I was passing through on a long trip and decided to give this place a try. I was down the road already before I got into my sandwich and turned the car around after my first bite to go back and get another sandwich. Outstanding Boston butt! read more

I have eaten BBQ from coast to coast. California to New York, Texas and New Mexico, Memphis and Kentucky, every kind, everywhere. I am snobby about my BBQ... It takes a lot for me to say this but this was the best BBQ I have ever had. I got the pulled pork sandwich with their homemade sauce. Absolutely out of this world, let me tell you. The way they got the pulled pork is just so perfect. I must say as well, these folks are so absolutely kind and have the most humble sweet attitudes. Such great people. I highly recommend anyone who is looking for no frills, straight up BBQ perfection to stop by and give them a try. You won't regret it. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich and I couldn't stop the "mmmm" noises I was making while eating it. My wife was laughing at me, "That must be a really good sandwich!" I replied, "MMMMM!" read more

Smells amazing right when you get out of the car. My husband ordered the ribs and I got the Boston Butt Special. Both were super good, however I'm not much of a rib person and still loved the ribs that my husband ordered. You didn't even need BBQ sauce on them. They had amazing smoky flavor. BBQ sauce was amazing too! Would visit again. read more

The best! Great people and the food is delicious! Be sure and try it, you won't be sorry

This place is great. They cook a certain amount each day and sell out towards the end of the day so if you're going around dinner time, call ahead to see if they still have what you want. Haven't eaten single thing that I haven't loved! read more

Get there early if you want ribs. Great food, period.

We stopped here on our way out of town Saturday. We found the recommendation on one of the vacation home rental sites (http://www.cathyscapesanblasvacation.com/) free plug for a great recommendation. What a find! We tried the HungryMan (3 meats and 2 sides) and an extra Boston Butt sandwich - with collard greens and potatoe salad for the sides. Everything was very good - the pulled pork was tasty and moist, and when the sauce was added made for an excellent sandwich. I really liked the seasoning on the chicken. The ribs were devoured in two shakes - they were quite tasty as well. My wife couldn't stop praising the greens. The potatoe salad was of the sweeter style - while not my favorite, it too was all gone in short order. The HungryMan also comes with a couple of slices of bread, so you can make a sandwich, or just sop... We also got an order of the peach cobbler - it is a steal at $1.00! The doughy type of crust I remember from Scout campouts - my favorite! When we drove up, we were thrid in line to order. When we left there were 6 or 7 vehicles in the parking area. This is a BBQ trailer in a gravel lot on the side of the road - with fantastic food - try it, I think you will be glad you did!!! read more

Oh my goodness.. So good!! Pork butt chopped bbq with slaw was tender, juicy and had so much flavor. Heavenly. Sit on one of their benches behind the trailer for some shade. You'll find Paul's just before the dollar general market! read more

I thought I didn't like nor eat ribs, or BBQ for that matter. Now I do. Paul Gant is a 'gonna be tough to beat'. Ribs, collard greens n potato salad. Fantastic! White sliced bread n cornbread, part of the culture but not my thing. How hot is it in that food truck on the day u indulge should determine your tip! read more

First time here, but not the last. Went with the hungry man so we could try all three meats and were glad we did.nice flavor, tasty sides and wonderful people. Give it a try if you are in the area. read more

Great BBQ! We split Boston butt, dark meat chicken, collards, baked beans, potato salad, and cole slaw. I'm considering going back to try the ribs before we leave town. :) My wife and I try to sample the local BBQ place in any southern town we visit. We were more than satisfied with Paul Gant's. Just make sure you go when they're open! (Thu-Sat) Individually, in my subjective opinion: 5/5 Butt (Our 2-year-old was eating fist fulls!) 5/5 Chicken 5/5 Collards 4/5 Beans 3/5 Potato Salad (Good if you like it mild. I prefer a more zesty, mustard taste.) 5/5 Cole slaw (Possibly the best I've had.) 6/5 Butt + Cole slaw together - so good. We'll definitely be back. I'm not surprised they've been in business over 20 years. read more

This place is a gem. I had the brisket sandwich and it was terrific. The woman who served it was pleasant. I think I arrived before they officially opened, but she said it would take a moment to shred the pork. Because of that, I got a lot of the ends. I love the ends! read more

Best barbecue ribs on the Forgotten Coast. A half Boston Butt will feed a crowd. The corn bread, slaw, potato salad and collard greens are always perfect. Although I often wish they were open more days, I also enjoy the anticipation. Thursday is my new favorite day. read more

Well this the old fashion walk-up-to-the-window BBQ joint. And I love it. People are great and I've lot 'Cue in my time and they do it well. I usually get the sandwich but grab the hungry man for your your workin' man or teenage son. read more

Paul Gant's catered my wedding and it was fabulous! We told them what we wanted and how many guests we were expecting... The promptly gave us a very reasonable price and an itemized breakdown of each portion of the order. Everyone loved the food and we had SO much extra to take home! Fantastic experience! read more

A local icon. My fav is the pulled smoked pork. Mouth is watering just thing about it. Authentic smoked meat.

Fantastic BBQ! The potato salad and baked beans were good too. But beware, they are only open Thursday through Sunday.

Saw the hungry man meal online. Went there and it was on the menu, got up to the window and they said they don't offer it. (Ok..then maybe take it off the menu). Ordered Collard greens from the menu, but was told they don't have it. Ordered a rib plate and a 1/2 chicken plate. Ordered coleslaw got home and got potato salad. Ribs were fall off the bone good. Summary...food good...service... not so much. read more

Awesome people running this place and man great bbq every time. Gotta try the rib sandwich.

Just a shack on the side of the road, but this is one of the better BBQ sandwiches that I've had. You don't even need BBQ sauce, but the sauce is SO good that I highly recommend it. Definitely worth a stop if you're craving BBQ or even if you're not. read more

Paul Gant's -- my new definition of BBQ rib excellence. Pretty much a flavor explosion in your mouth. I've only had the ribs so far, but plan on checking out the chicken and pulled pork in the near future. If you are visiting Port St. Joe -- or anywhere nearby -- make sure to stop by and give it a try. (Although make sure to time your trip for the weekend, as they are only open Thursday through Saturday). read more

Southern barbecue defined. This roadside stop near the Dollar General Market serves up pulled pork butt sandwiches, ribs along with collard greens, baked beans, cole slaw and chips. Dessert of the day carrot cake and banana pudding. Wanted to try everything but settled for pork sandwich, collards and baked beans eaten at picnic table in the back by the smoker everything met and then exceeded my expectations for taste presentation and flavor. And the staff was equally delightful. read more
