    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.

    The best meal I personally experienced in Pensacola Beach…read more This little gem was located just outside of our hotel and we were very appreciative of their food. I learned quickly that the area is NOT vegetarian friendly and this place was one of the few exceptons. The staff we interacted with were incredibly friendly and they always got food out in a timely manner. We ended up visiting the food truck 2-3 times during our trip because we trusted the quality of what was being served. The one thing I can say that I was disappointed with was their sauces. A bit ironic, as it's in the name but they were extremely underwhelming. We ended up using sauces we had saved from other spots. I still highly recommend trying them as their food was very good!

    I placed a pickup order about 30 minutes before closing and arrived around 15 minutes before they…read moreclosed. When I got there I had to knock on the window to get someone's attention because they were already cleaning up. Once they came over, I told them I had a pickup order and they just handed me the bag without saying anything, which felt like I was an inconvenience to them (even though we tipped on the order too beforehand) The food itself was mostly good. The portions were solid and we really liked the Brussels sprouts, those were definitely the highlight. But the veggie burger was honestly really disappointing. It had almost no flavor and was so bland we couldn't even tell what it was made of. We also had the chicken tenders and sweet potato fries which I would recommend and kept me full. Also, no napkins were included, which would have been helpful considering everything was pretty saucy. Overall, not a terrible experience but definitely some things that could be improved especially with customer interaction. It's not very inviting at all.

    Shaggy's was one of our favorite spots during our stay in Pensacola Beach…read more Location This was definitely one of the big reasons we tried their food to begin with, but their food and great service was why we returned. They have a cool layout with both indoor and outdoor seating. They have a cool area downstairs too by the water with tables for people to wait at. The place just embodies a beach restaurant. Food You had me a "Fried Green Tomatoes". I am a sucker for FGTs! So I was instantly drawn to this location. We visited first to get food to go. We enjoyed the food so much we returned two more times! The kids really enjoyed the kids meals, and my wife tried several seafood dishes and seemed to enjoy all of them. As a vegetarian my selections were limited but the stuff i did try was good. The Drinks We ordered a few of their mixed drinks and I wasn't really impressed. They all looked a lot better than they tasted. They did have a really good beer selection and I was able to enjoy a few beers I had never heard of. Service Definitely the Highlight of our visits, their servers and bartenders really seem to care! They spoke to everyone, they interacted with our kids, they never forgot sides, they moved with urgency, I could go on and on. Kudos to Shaggy's staff as a whole for really making our visits special. I definitely recommend giving Shaggy's a try.
