Right after leaving the Ft. Lauderdale Court House I spotted a bright red building and was able to smell a nice meaty aroma from the street. As I started to drive closer I noticed that it was a BBQ joint and the meaty aroma was coming from a giant smoker outside. I decided to go in and was amazed how busy the place was. I noticed a pulled pork sandwich with a side lunch combo and decided to pull the trigger on my order. The sandwich came with their sweet hickory sauce on the side which was a plus in my book since I don’t like food to be too saucy (unlike my women).

The pulled pork was probably the freshest I’ve ever had and the sweet hickory sauce was amazing. I ended up asking for more at the counter and going to town on the sandwich. The sauce made the sandwich ten folds better if you can believe that. The mac and cheese was interesting because they used conch shaped pasta and the cheese sauce wasn’t really a sauce. They made it with a more pizza style cheese, kinda thick and chewy. Overall a great experience and I look forward to the next time to try some of the other BBQ items they have to offer.

I just checked this place out the other day. I tried the pork and the chicken. I thought both meats were really good. I wasn't impressed by the sides. I did just go to Bettys a few days ago, which I think has the best side orders in Ft Lauderdale, so it was going against tough competition. I meant to blog about it,…but I didn't.
Anyway, I just started following your blog and I love it. Keep it going.

How about taking a look at their new location on Sunrise at the curve. Same great food with a full bar.
