No kidding... this was the best coleslaw and cornbread I have had in my life…read more Pulled pork and pulled chicken were great quality with so many BBQ sauces to choose from. Hard to say which one was best. The wings are also smoked, and it took eating a wing before I got used to the smoked taste with buffalo sauce. After that... amazing! George the owner and Angelina, our server, were the absolute best as well, making you feel right at home.

If you're in North Port and haven't been to Dubz BBQ yet, you're seriously missing out…read more From the moment you walk in, you can smell the wood-smoked goodness. The brisket? Tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The ribs? Perfectly cooked. The sides aren't an afterthought either--everything complements the meat perfectly. You can tell there's pride in every plate that comes out of that kitchen. On top of that, the staff is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first time in. No frills, just great food and great people. Bottom line: If you love real BBQ, Dubz is a must-try. I'll definitely be back... probably sooner than I should be.

To wrap up our Father's Day getaway, the wife once again reminded me why she's the CEO of vacation…read moreplanning. She found Leroy's Southern Kitchen & Bar in Punta Gorda, and let me tell you this place isn't a restaurant it's a whole Saturday night experience! I walked in thinking there had to be a festival, birthday party, or somebody famous in town. Nope! That's just how they roll every Saturday. Live music, people dancing, everyone smiling I started wondering if they slipped happiness into the sweet tea. Now the wife ordered the Nevermind Pressed Burger with extra cheese and black coffee steak sauce. NEVERMIND?? More like Never mind my diet! One bite then another then another and suddenly her plate looked like the dishwasher had already been there. The burger was cooked perfectly, juicy, cheesy, and that steak sauce should be illegal in at least 12 states. Meanwhile, I ordered the 10 oz. Skirt Steak with jasmine rice, carrots, green onions, and their house made Asian marinade. Listen whoever made that sauce I need the recipe, your autograph, and your retirement plan. I was this close to asking for a to go cup so I could pour it on my cereal tomorrow morning. Mama mia that steak disappeared faster than my paycheck after my wife says, Let's just stop at one more store. Then dessert happened. We saw our neighbors order the homemade Banana Nilla Pudding special. My wife looked at me with that look that says, We're getting one. Fellas you already know that's not a suggestion. Well she got one. I got exactly three bites. THREE! ‍ By the time I looked back, the jar was cleaner than the windows at a car wash. Dear Lord now I understand why my doctor keeps telling me to watch my sugar. That pudding almost had me scheduling my next A1C appointment from the table. The live band had me singing songs from back in the day don't ask which ones. Some of y'all are detectives and I'm not giving away my age! And a huge shout-out to Athena! She knew that menu like she wrote it herself. Friendly, funny, attentive she made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. So thank you, Uncle Leroy! Between the food, the music, the atmosphere, and my wife stealing 97% of the dessert, this was the perfect way to end an unforgettable Father's Day getaway. Five stars. Come hungry leave happy and if you order the Banana Nilla Pudding, order TWO. One for your wife and one that you hide under the table. Trust me.

Had the pulled pork barbecue sandwich and what a great choice!…read moreMoved to S W Fla from Georgia a few years ago and I'd put this sandwich up against any other!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing BBQ meals I've ever…read morepurchased. I ordered the Two Meat Plate for about $27, and the portion was extremely underwhelming. The ribs had very little actual meat on them and were mostly bone, fat, and cartilage. For the price, I expected a much more substantial serving. The mac and cheese was bland and lacked flavor, the sweet potato fries were average at best, and the cornbread was stale and dry. Overall, the meal looked much better on the menu than what I actually received. I left still hungry and felt like I wasted my money. Based on the quality, portion size, and taste, I cannot justify the price. I hope management addresses these issues because this experience did not meet expectations. Order Togo bit next to abandon movie theater.

My brother from another was missing support staff, so it was just him, but he communicated that it might take some time as he's popular. Once ready everything was extraordinarily fresh and delish. I had the tri-tip sandwich, cucumber salad, and watermelon salad that comes with a chili pepper seasoning. The tri-tip was pretty legendary honestly. I'd prefer a toasty bun and I'm not sure the bbq sauce is homemade, but it didn't even matter the meat was so good. The watermelon was sweet and fresh and sliced up as a wonderful treat. The cukes were also absolutely in point. This fellow knows what healthy doing. Respect. I look forward to trying his pulled pork sammy, smoked wings, brisket, and more. I'll also be back for more tri-tip. Next time I might have to splurge for the platter.

The service was very good. She gave us time with the menu and checked back throughout the meal…read more We tried their iced coffee and Hank's diet root beer. The iced coffee was very good but also expensive for what you get. Hank's was below average. The root beer flavor was almost nonexistent. Maybe the regular root beer would be better. We ordered the French dip with tots and the Feathered Philly with fries. We really liked the tots and French fries and would give them a 5 out of 5 stars. The beef on the French dip lacked flavor as did the au jus. The beef reminded us of sliced deli roast beef not something the was marinated in spices for a period of time. Would give the French dip 2.5-3 stars. The chicken and onions on the Feathered Philly were better. They were seasoned and hot off the grill. Would give them 3.5 stars. The hoagie buns were good but nothing to write home about. The ambiance is great! Love how the decorated the most place. They have a great outdoor area to have your meal and a great concert area. I bet this place is really a great time for live music. It's connected to / next to the Harley dealer so I'm sure the have a high number of bikes on weekends and for the concerts. Parking for cars is limited by the restaurant but the have a parking lot across the street. Plenty of bike parking.
