This place is phenomenal Period Great chicken, pork and ribs Everything else in SRQ has to compete with Perry's in the top spot read more

If you want the perfect yet some simple barbecue this is the place. The most amazing and genuine service before getting the holy grail of Barbecue. The ribs fall off the bone while the brisket ribs when you simply just pick it up. Oh and that Mac and Cheese, words can't describe how good it is. Can't skip out on the potato salad too! Anytime you're in sarasota, this place has to been on the list! read more

We were sitting around talking about something sweet. We all had a sweet tooth and was hungry at the same time. Then somebody brought up sweet potato pie. Why did they say that? Now normally on August you can't really find a good sweet potato pie but low and behold my people told me about this place. I am not from Sarasota so I didn't know the gem they had down the road. Literally. So what did we do? Call them. How many lies do you have? I have three left. Hold them I'm on my way. Now once my friend for there she decided to buy some barbecue too. So we could snack but the main objective today was pie. She scooped up some brisket sandwiches and some ribs too. When she walked in the house and gave me my own individual pie I'm thinking it's just a slice. Nope it's an individual deep dish pie for one person. Did I say deep dish? Oh yes God! The crust was not store bought. It had a heavy presence of butter, it was flaky and it was also slight sweet. I could have ate the pie crust all by itself. The taste omg just the right texture. It was heavy, not loose. Sweet but not overpowering the sweet potato. Just the right amount of butter, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Jesus my friend can't never come visit Atlanta without bringing me at least two of these pies. I couldn't eat it all at one time either. So not sleep on these pies. Oh and there were no strings either. The barbecue was dry rub and some of the best I have ever had. I wish I had more of it but again it was a snack and not the focus. Best believe I will have me another pie. read more

They catered our baby shower and every single person RAVED about the food! We ordered the brisket and the pulled pork with lots of different sauces which were DELICIOUS....and every single one of their sides... collard greens, green beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, corn bread..... Lakisha took such good care of us .... we can't wait to have another party soon just so we can order this food again!!!! :) read more

Heard of Perry's so went and tried, guaranteed will be going back. Had the combo brisket and ribs. Smoked flavor and his own sauce were fantastic. Good selection of delicious sides too, especially the Mac and cheese. Sorry no pic, the food wasn't around long. read more

Wow, we stumbled upon Perry's while looking for a small, quick bite and were happy with it. Parking is really limited, but we managed to snag a spot in the small lot. We ordered up some pulled pork and brisket sandwiches. They provided extra sauce, which was nice. Everything was pretty tasty. There is no seating inside, so we ended up tailgating in the parking lot. I did think that it was a little pricey, although delicious. read more

Got this gem as a recommendation from contact in Sarasota and Man, I knew I was in for a treat when I hit the door! First impression-really clean resturaunt. The Smokey yummy smell is fantastic! Sweet potato pie was fantastic (from GA and can never turn down Sweet Potato pie!!) and the shredded pork with excellent bbq sauce! New favorite - seriously great and can't wait to try the ribs n chicken! read more

Amazing food and people. They cater to you even when not a catering order! They take care of the kid meals too and make sure they get the right options! Smokey and delicious well marinated flavors! read more

Easy in and easy out... Great barbecue and ribs! Truly a homestyle atmosphere! Did not see anywhere to sit so I would say it's 100% takeout

At this point, I've tried everything on the menu. It's seriously all great. A few favorites: 1) Brisket sandwich - one of the only good briskets in the state of Florida imo. It's tender and rich, just like the stuff you'd get in Texas. Seriously, don't bother ordering a brisket anywhere else in town. 2) Smoked chicken - I LOVE smoked chicken, and this stuff never misses. Perfectly crispy and juicy. I get the half chicken platter with double sides. 3) Mac and cheese - Mac and cheese is always great, but this stuff is special. 4) Collards - These are so great! Salty and fatty, like you'd imagine, but still a bit bitter and green. They still taste like vegetables, basically. 5) Ribs - The BBQ sauce is great and these folks smoke the meat long enough to break down the fat and connective tissue. Really solid ribs. Look, I'm not saying that I *refuse* to eat BBQ at any of the other venerable joints in town. I love BBQ, in general. But I never eat at those places without thinking "I wish this was from Perry's." read more

We ordered the full rack, sweet potato pie and corn bread. The ribs were a dry rub and we had sauce on the side because I wanted hot and the boss wanted sweet. The ribs were well seasoned and came off the bone easily. The sauces were also tasty when we dipped the pig in our respective sauces. The sweet potato pie was very good but the corn bread was a miss for the boss. It's. 4.5 for me, but they are really nice so it rounds up to a fiver, especially for Sarasota and BBQ. read more

We ran into the mobile version at the Lakewood Ranch Market (Sunday only from10-2), and bought some ribs and mac and cheese. The ribs were amazing- tender and flavorful- and didn't even need sauce! The mac and cheese was a perfect pairing! We will be headed back Sunday for more and some brisket too! read more

Best BBQ in Sarasota. The ribs are delicious as is the pulled pork. Mac and cheese is also incredible. Portions are huge too so you'll have plenty for leftovers. Their spicy sauce is my favorite, but regular sauce is also delicious. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

So lucky to find this gem while vacationing in Sarasota! Amazing brisket sandwich and sweet potato pie! Super friendly family run business!

The brisket was amazing , that was our highlight of the meal. Bbq sauces were very tasty. Chicken was well seasoned and had amazing smoke flavor. Mac and cheese was perfection. Potato salad was good but tasted like store bought. Corn bread was little dry , would of been maybe better with some butter and honey . Sweet potato pie was yummy, I'm use to the sweet pie being more cinnamon and nutmeg flavor, this one was more ginger forward flavor , but it was good. Sweet tea was perfect . The owners of the place were absolutely nicest people , they don't rush you and give you good suggestions if you not sure what to get. read more

Luke warm food leading to acute gastrointestinal distress -- for hours! We really wanted to like this place.

I'm from the Northeast and I feel like down here in Florida it is difficult to find mom and pop restaurants that are good mostly because of the commercialization and new chain restaurants in the area. If you're looking for a locally owned business with awesome food THIS IS IT!! This is the best food I had on my trip and the people working there were very kind. I got a brisket platter and sweet potato pie. Both were amazing! read more

Best BQ un Sarasota. Reminds me of the joints in Austin Texas. Love their Brunswick stew. Ribs and pulled pork are delicious.

Every time I'm in Florida I love my southern soul food So with that being said I had to find a great BBQ spot and this is the first spot that came up in the search. This place is located off Tamiami Trail kind of behind a business building but it's still pretty easy to fine and has parking. As you walk in the counters right there and you can see part of the kitchen and it's very clean inside also the customer service was great food was excellent and this is definitely worth trying out the next time you're in the area. They also have their own custom sauce which was absolutely amazing on the ribs as the meat just fell right off the bone. You can tell this place is going to be great they have gigantic smokers outside and as you walk in there's some awards I'm cooking. read more

Great food! Great service! A local gem for sure. My family always stops in whenever we find ourselves in town.

I can't say enough about Perry's and their spectacular service. We hosted an event in late June and decided to let Perry's handle the details of dinner. The food was as good as it gets. The brisket was tender and juicy with a perfect bark. The pulled pork and ribs were mouth watering. All of the sides were spot on. I had more compliments about their food than I can tell you about. We will definitely be using their services again next year. As good as the food was, the service was even better. Lakeisha went way above and beyond in providing exceptional service all the way through the process. If you have any occasion to consider catering in Sarasota, look no further. Give Lakeisha a call then sit back and relax. I promise, you will not be disappointed. read more

More like a 3.5 but I'll round up. Solid bbq but nothing crazy. Collards are a skip not braised enough and lacking flavor. Brisket had a nice bark but too much gross fat. Chicken was ok. I enjoyed the ribs a lot. I'd have again but wouldn't come out of my way. read more

The Brisket was amazing and so was the service p. We originally went for ribs but there was a line out the door, what I thought was a good sign . By the time it was our turn they were already out of ribs. So next I guess they are that good. Take out only. read more

My wife and I come down for a week in March to visit my mom. This was our first time trying Perry's and man, I was amazing. I love spicy and the hot BBQ sauce actually had heat to it. We each had pulled pork, I had brisket (first one i truly loved, rest to me are to fatty) and my wife had the pulled chicken. Man, I was amazed at the chicken, it was so moist. Perry's is now a spot for food for us read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I most definitely would! This food is AMAZING! The meat has great smoked flavor and the sides were awesome as well. Not many people can fix coleslaw, but Perry's is among the best I've had! If you're in the area, this establishment is a must. Very glad we tried it out while in town. read more

On our way back from vacation Key west we stopped in while on the way home to Mobile Alabama. This has got to be the best roadside BBQ EVER!! We got the Chicken, Brisket and Ribs! Absolutely Tender! It melts in your mouth! I highly recommend to anyone! read more

Great food. Great service. I tend to find myself wanting this food, just to realize that it's not the day that they are open. I have to adjust my appetite to the schedule. read more

We were in the area and wanted good BBQ. We checked Yelp and found Perry's. It did not disappoint. The brisket was cooked to perfection, same with the ribs. Fresh cut fries, yummy collard greens, and the best fried pickles we've ever had. The potato salad is unconventional but delicious. We took home the pecan and sweet potato pies (will leave review letter). MUST TRY! read more

The most amazing brisket I've ever had. My friends had the ribs and loved them. The only thing better than the food is the Perry family......just treat you like family. This place is a gem !!! read more

We had a 4 th of July party and Perry's catered BBQ ribs and beef brisket, plus a couple of side dishes. It was outstanding and all our 28 guests stated it was the best BBQ they have had in Sarasota. We had great party and Perry's was part of the reason. I have lived in St Louis and Detroit which both have a reputation for great BBQ. Well, we have world-class ribs right here in Sarasota from Perry's. Thank you, guys and gals, for making our party a great success. read more

BEST barbecue in Sarasota, hands down. No need to go anywhere else! And they cater too which is wonderful!

This is the kind of Bar B Que that will make you slap your momma. Perfect smoked meats thats not overly cooked, excellent moist fresh beef brisket with their signature sauces. I recommend going with their spicy Texas sauce. read more

Perry's lives up to the hype!! Came in from out of town and stopped by to get 4 pounds of pulled pork and a whole chicken. The ladies inside were so friendly and helpful and loaded us up with both hot and Perry's signature mild sauce. The pulled pork was absolutely delicious!! It was lean and had a great, subtle smokey flavor. The chicken was also great. Perry's will be an annual stop each year from now on when we come for vacation. read more

Do it. Never had better. Brisket and pulled pork. Potato salad and cole slaw. Sweet potato pie. read more

Sweet Sassy Molassy ! Corn bread,cold slaw,beans, brisket and St, Louie style ribs. Easy "E" and I had all of the above from Perry's Original Roadside Barbeque. All were excellent . Next time we will try the chicken and pulled pork. Perry's barbeque is the best I've had in many years . We are from the "Big Mango*and there is nothing there close to this establishment. Perry's was very clean and the service was friendly, quick and efficient . Let's hope that the dreaded Bruce B sophomore jinx does befall Perry's. P.O.R.BBQ&C are open Thursday,Friday and Saturday and are takeout only. read more
