    Meat Candy BBQ. Ribs and Turkey Breast.

    Why has it taken me so long to find this bbq? Well now that I've found them I'm a huge fan!! Absolutely delicious and moist, and perfectly seasoned turkey breast! The ribs were very tender with a lil bit of a pull off the bone - ribs done right. Nice smoke ring and seasoned without over salting. Great balance. Ate them with any bbq sauce. The bacon and mac & cheese had me wanting more . The coleslaw slaw is not traditional but was good. 2 weeks later I went back and was lucky enough to get the chicken salad....YUMMY!! I understand why it's a best seller. Definitely a repeat order for me.

    Ok I came back and they were fully stocked with Q. Last review was 4 stars and I said it could easily change when I had a chance to try other items. If you want some proper Q made with passion for smoke, this is your spot. Get here and support these guys for putting in the work and skill.. what they do ain't easy.

    Two meat plate with Brisket, Maple Bourbon Pork Belly Burnt Ends, Baked Beans and Mac.

    WOWOWOW!! Meat Candy is the perfect name for this place. The Maple Bourbon Burnt Ends absolutely delivered that sweet, smoky, melt in your mouth experience you dream about. The brisket was maybe some of the best I've had. Their white sauce is special too. We enjoyed everything we ordered and had plenty to take home. On top of that, these dudes are kind, thoughtful and definitely take pride in their craft. They took great care of us. Even with the food truck outside, we appreciated that we could enjoy their indoor seating, which had a bar. We're so grateful that our area finally has some seriously craveable BBQ.

    Yall are awesome!! Turkey- used to only enjoy during Thanksgiving. Now? Could eat it everyday! Sausage- I got a treat of it with last nights dinner-- yum da f o!! Needs to be added to the daily menu Pulled pork- out of this world delicious!!! Mac n cheese- absolutely Devine! Brisket- I don't know to express this one properly. It's beyond perfect!!! Melt in your mouth!! Most certainly:

    All the meats on the menu!

    Amazing bbq!! Came from Los Angeles to visit family and this was the first stop on the list. Brisket is incredibly tender, and the Maple Pork Belly burnt bits is so flavorful. Not to mention, the customer service was very so memorable. The chef came to the window to introduce himself because didn't recognize amongst the locals, and thanked us for stopping by. We highly recommend for anyone in the area!

    It's a little food truck w the signage facing inwards so it was hard to find. Totally worth it! Ribs are dry rubbed then glazed, brisket and burnt ends are really like meat candy, sweet, crisp and utterly addictive! Bacon Mac is a meal unto itself and beans have a sweet kick to them too! Come early they sell out quick even with their ginormous smoker out back! Guys are fun friendly and so welcoming. Would definitely return and recommend

    Unbelievable brisket plate and wet Mac and cheese with brisket.

I ordered Cajun spiced onion rings with mine, and my husband got plain French fries with his. Jared recommended their remulade dip that comes with the gator bites to dip our onion rings and fries in, and it was spicy and scrumptious. The burgers were amazing, better than expected. Fries and onion rings were perfect. Crispy and not greasy. Same goes for the bacon on our burgers. No slimy, greasy bacon! It was cooked to a nice crispy texture but not at all burnt and still held that great flavor! The restaurant was decorated for Christmas with Buddy the elf and it looked great. Restrooms are next door shared with the bar and are clean and well kept. Excellent all around. Highly recommend!

Lots of different items and espresso based coffees. I want to go back and try the chicken salad wrap. The place is redone and very clean. I didn't go upstairs, but I think it's a liquor store. The downstairs has your standard market fair but with fresh produce which is a plus! It also has cute locally made items like the candles I photographed and some body oils. I found the Crew working the day I went to be a little lackluster, but they still made us great drinks and a great burrito so I really can't complain. They also let me use the restroom when I spilled my iced latte all over my white T-shirt. Aye! So glad I found this place. They have great style and I truly enjoyed the vibe of this humble market!

The food was excellent--my steak, my mother's shrimp, and my wife's salmon were all cooked exactly to our specifications. Preparation, presentation, and taste were outstanding. Everything we tried was delicious, and I especially recommend the Brussels sprouts appetizer. The service at our table was solid, although I did notice several servers congregating and socializing near the bar instead of actively tending to their customers. Up to this point, I would rate The Point as "5 stars." However, my concern began with what I observed at the bar. We were seated close enough to clearly see the bartender repeatedly serve alcohol to a man who was extremely intoxicated--belligerent, loudly dropping repeated F-bombs, shouting at the top of his lungs over the Buffalo Bills game, and at one point staggering toward the restroom. As someone who served 23 years in law enforcement and retired as a U.S. Navy Captain (O-6), I fully believe individuals are responsible for their own behavior. Still, management always has a duty to protect the safety and comfort of all patrons, and to demonstrate concern for the surrounding community. That is where I became disappointed. The manager was present and clearly aware of this individual's behavior, yet no one intervened to stop service, redirect the situation, or address the disruption. The bartender continued pouring drinks despite the man's obvious intoxication. From a community-safety perspective, this is concerning. Even though Florida's Dram Shop Law is narrow--holding establishments liable only for serving someone under 21 or someone known to be habitually addicted to alcohol--the standard of reasonable care still applies in how management oversees its environment. Additionally, under Florida's comparative negligence principles, multiple parties can share responsibility when a foreseeable danger is ignored. While overserving a drunk adult may not create automatic legal liability in Florida, it certainly creates a community safety risk, especially when this person leaves the premises and gets behind the wheel on Highway 98. For that reason, I believe The Point's management and bar staff should take a closer, more responsible approach to alcohol service and patron behavior. Until the leadership demonstrates stronger attentiveness to customer safety and community impact, I would advise socially conscious individuals--and particularly military members and families--to consider this before choosing to dine here.
