Hidden gem in Mossy Head, FL! Right off the bat the staff is super friendly and the restaurant is quaint. The food was great. The pork was tender and smoky and had good amount of sauce. The onion rings were obviously hand made and crunchy fried goodness! The baked beans were good, but a little sweet for my taste. I will definitely be back to try more items off the menu. Also the price was very good especially for BBQ! read more

Simply Good BBQ - Pulled pork sandwich with onion rings and baked beans. - Barbeque Near Me - Defuniak Spring, Florida

When it comes to BBQ, by leaps and bounds, this place is my favorite. I have never had bad anything from here. The price is more than fair and they run a good show. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and chat with the locals. In less than ten minutes - your food comes out piping hot. Outside of the epic BBQ, I love the fact that you can order an egg roll as a side. Pairs very nicely with the BBQ. Not sure what to get, I recommend a pulled pork sandwich. Piled high with meat and slathered with homemade BBQ Sauce. Good BBQ, Good people and good prices. read more

If you are debating where to eat the best BBQ, you must go here. I've ate a lot of BBQ and it put a lot of places to shame. Especially for the price. This might be the best BBQ I've ever had. Service was amazingly friendly. I would eat here over and over again. Sounds like a crazy fan but it really was just that good. read more

Simply Good BBQ - 1/4lb pork plate with beans and corn nuggets, and a 1/2lb brisket plate with fried corn and potato salad. Every side was done to perfection. - Barbeque Near Me - Defuniak Spring, Florida

Great bbq! The "simplicity" of the restaurant makes it a great place to take guests. Hometown feeling. Definitely will be back...

We drove past here late on a Saturday, and got a to-go order just in time before closing. They were pretty busy!!!! The bbq pork sandwiches are absolutely delicious... on large buns with a couple of pickle slices, and some of their delicious bbq sauce. I can understand why they sell it be the gallon! We got beans, slaw and fried okra... all delicious. Definitely the sauce was the star of the meal! This'll be a regular stop when passing on I-10 now. read more

this place is a 10/10 don't hesitate to go here! I got the Philly cheese steak sub and a side of the seasoned beans and when I tell you it was so good... that wasn't even the best part all of mine and my family's food came out hot and super fresh and fast! The staff there seem so wholesome and I am pretty sure almost every employee came to our table to check on us and see if we genuinely needed anything and asked if it was good enough.. IS IT GOOD ENOUGH!? I wanted some to go for later haha. I don't leave reviews on places but this one I needed to because wow just wow. Outstanding place. I would most definitely come back. The bad reviews on this place are not realistic because even at a regular restaurant like Olive Garden I do not get the same service as I did at Simply Good BBQ. read more

If you're on a trip, STOP HERE! Literally, the best bbq restaurant I've been at and we are from Texas. I loved this place and so did my husband and kids. The sweetest owners and everyone that works there is so kind and helpful. The food was phenomenal. We got onion rings, a sampler bbq plate, kids chicken tenders and sides. We can't wait to drive through again read more

Simply Good BBQ - BBQ and lots of sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Defuniak Spring, Florida

Great food and great atmosphere. Everyone is always friendly and the food is amazing. It is a regular spot for us.

Stood there for ten minutes waiting to be seated with no one in front of us. Not a peep from staff as they walked by and made eye contact multiple times. Maybe it's because we weren't locals (yet!), but so much for southern hospitality (and I'm Southern). Left, so can't tell you about the food, but service was non-existent. read more

This place should be called simply delicious because of good everything is. It's a must stop anytime I pass by the area.

I'm not sure what all the hype is about over this little BBQ shack. Alvin and I decided to stop here on road trip after seeing all of great reviews. We were somewhat nervous when we pulled up and didn't see or smell any smoke/cooking going on at this country mom and pop shop, but opted to give it a go anyway. We both ordered the brisket sandwiches to-go, one with a side of potato salad and the other with baked beans. The potato salad tasted okay. The small amount of brisket on our sandwiches was sliced so thin we weren't even sure it was brisket, lol...plus, it was lukewarm. The sweet tea was strong but not sweet enough -- kind of like if you stirred sugar into cold unsweetened tea. The highlight of the meal was without a doubt the baked beans, which Alvin said was probably in the top 3 he's ever had. Prices were decent. Food wasn't terrible, but could have been a lot better. Staff was friendly enough. A return is unlikely namely because of location (we don't often road trip up the panhandle) and the BBQ, at least for us, doesn't warrant a return. read more

The food was not the best and not the worst. I had the combo plate. Which was three meats and two sides. The ribs was dry, chicken was baked but the brisket was good. Baked bean and coleslaw was good. read more

Simply Good BBQ - The combo plate. Three meats and two sides. - Barbeque Near Me - Defuniak Spring, Florida

So my husband and I moved to Florida from Kansas and we love bbq. We decided to try this place today. We loved it! The lady taking our order was so sweet. And even told us that if we ordered something and didn't like it we could get something else. The restaurant was pretty cute. Lots of old timey decor. My husband got the pork sandwich with fries and baked beans and he loved it. I order the country fried steak with mashed potatoes instead of the rice that it comes with and potato salad. I like it but I don't like onion in potato salad or sweet relish but I ate it. The country fried steak and potatoes was phenomenal! My MIL ordered sweet and sour chicken tenders she said they were good but need rice or something with it. I thought the beans were way too sweet for me. THE ONION RINGS WERE FIRE!!! But the service was great and we will return and maybe try different things. Sorry we didn't have any pics we were super hungry. read more

Love this place!! We come here all the time it's the best place to eat in defuniak mossyhead area. Great home style cooked food. All made fresh to order and the guy at the desk always had the best attitude and is very welcoming. Can't remember if it's Ronny or Donny. It's a family owned business we will continue to support! read more

Ok, I hate to say this and maybe it's because I am from Texas but that was not the BBQ i expected from the other reviews. I really hate to give a mom and pop place 2 stars especially since they were sooooo friendly. But if there had not been sauce on the meat there would have been no moisture at all. I am just hoping that I hit on a bad day but nobody at our table enjoyed their meal. The prices were more than fair and like i said they were very friendly. But the flavor or tenderness was just not there. I wish this lil BBQ shack all the best. read more

Stopped off here on a road trip across country and pulled up Yelp to see what was around for dinner. As soon as we got there we were greeted with such hospitality and a bonus was the food was just as great. They even gave us some rib tips for our dog as we waited outside for the food. If you're in the area make sure to check it out. read more

Simply Good BBQ was a pleasant surprise that we came upon while driving through DeFuniak Springs, FL. We were greeted by such a lovely woman who took our order. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and cute and the food was really good. Everything we ordered, pulled pork, fried okra and baked beans were served hot and quickly. If you're in the area stop in I know you won't be disappointed! read more

Pulled off the freeway in search of Not fast food and glad we did. Fish of the day was catfish and boy was it good. Perfectly fried and served hot and fast. Folks were very friendly and we even got a little treat for the dog we left in the car. Worth the detour. But careful of Google. We passed it up on the way to the place Google said it was. Lucky we were able to turn around read more

We Ordered the Other day 3 combo and we were please with what we had. Although there was sufficient for 5 people their portions is on the small side. BBQ sauce was out of bounds, as people saying. Overall is excellent we will order again. read more

Wonderful homey place. Very southern. I had the 3 meat bbq cimbo with sausage, pork and beef. With coleslaw and mac an cheese. And unsweet tea. All of it was wonderful. The only drawback was the price was a little steep. 19 dollars for that. The owner is a sweet lady and I will certainly go here again. Thank you. read more

Working in Defuniak for a week, stopped in on a whim. We got a Philly cheese steak sammich first. Two days later had ribs with 2 sides and a drink (lunch special) that was AWESOME! Next day chicken, today another Philly cheese sammich. If we weren't leaving tomorrow, we'd be back. Genuinely nice people and excellent food! read more

I had what Gerald was having. Today that was a leg quarter, baked beans, and field peas. Gerald can pick my meals any time as this was exceptionally good food!!! The chicken was moist and flavorful, the baked beans were sweet and smokey, and the field peas took me right back to my childhood. You know they are good when you don't even want to leave the juice!!! If I thought i could have gotten away with it I would have licked the bowl!!!!! Definitely has been added to my "go again as soon as possible" list. read more

Stoped in one day just to use the restroom. Everyone was so nice and the food smelt so good. They have the best fish. My husband loves there subs. I love the baked beans. If you have not checked it out you should. Did I mention there BBQ is awesome it's not that liquid smoke as some say I see. For my self. Stop in and see them you won't be disappointed. Eat in or carry out. read more

We came in with a large group- about 16 people and they were very accommodating. Large portions and good food. Most of us took boxes to go because the plates are so large. Will go back. read more

We fed our family of 5 for less than we typically spend at Chick-Fil-A! Excellent service and delicious BBQ!!

Made a quick stop on our rad trip and was not disappointed. This is a cute small BBQ place that has hit tender and very tasty on the head. Everything we had from ribs to the brisket, fried okra to potato salad was dynamite. If you happen to be passing through it's definitely worth a stop. Worth the small detour from the freeway. read more

We tried out Simply Good BBQ while we were passing through town and saw other good Yelp reviews for this restaurant. We liked the food and staff. The restaurant got busy; it must be a place the locals love. The beans are phenomenal! Yummy cake, great corn nuggets. Homemade burger, sweet tea - good stuff! Note: bring cash for payment! read more

Excellent bbq at a great price. Got to drive about 10 mins to get here, and have to catch them within a certain time window on certain days, but it's well worth it. Hot, fresh bbq with a great Spicy/tangy sauce, ready in a hurry. Always a fair number of customers when open which is a great indicator of a place you want to eat. Location is easy to miss, right next to the gas station in a small storefront read more

Only open 10:30 to 2:00, Monday through Saturday, according to the menu. About 12 miles West of Defuniac Springs on Hwy 90. Pork sandwich, meat was tasty and sauce was good but not very spicy. Potato salad was sweeter than a usual mustard/mayonnaise style, and beans had a slight cinnamon flavor. Onion rings were homemade and French fries were very good. Two sandwich's, four sides and two teas were $18.80. This is as close to home cooking from a competent cook as you'll find, with nice atmosphere, nice people, and nice food. Worth getting away from the chain stores, and gourmet (but sometimes overdone and expensive) places. read more

One of the best bbq pork sandwiches I've ever had. Friendly service and delicious sweet tea! Can't wait to come back!

Great place to eat BBQ. Just happened to be in the area & decided to give it a try . We had BBQ, fried okra , corn nuggets, & green beans . Good tea . l Love to eat at hole-in-the-wall joints read more

Tried this place for the first time the other day. I ordered dark meat BBQ chicken, green beans and a baked potato. The green beans had too much pepper, making them inedible. But good BBQ chicken, although I orders dark meat I received a leg and a breast. But that's ok still tasted good. Well cooked chicken. The skin was browned nicely not burned like I have had at other BBQ restaurants. The baked potato was good and served with LOTS of butter and sour cream. Be sure and ask for the BBQ sauce to be serviced on the side...I forgot. Prices were decent. read more

We got the sampler and everything was great! The sauce had a good mix of tangy and sweetness. The staff was friendly and it was very reasonable. We both left stuffed. The desserts looked good, but we were too full to try anything. We will definitely be back again! read more

Great food n terrific people. Make sure and stop. You'll be glad you did. BBQ chicken and combo plate were outstanding.
