Big John's Rockin BBQ

Overall this place has great atmosphere and that's where the rating sits. My wife and I had brisket sandwich, loaded baked potato with mac n cheese. The brisket tasted like cardboard and needs the sauce. Good brisket shouldn't need sauce. Our Mac n Cheese was very gritty and tasted like a box mix. The only good thing was the baked potato. Oh and the sweet tea that appears to be brewed in house. Throughly disappointed in this BBQ place. Our server/bartender was good kept my drink full but overall still disappointed in the place.

Came here with my Mom during a recent trip to central Florida. Had high hopes for the meal, but neither of us cared for our meal choices all that much, unfortunately. Server was attentive and very pleasant, ensuring our drinks were refilled and getting extra sauces, etc.I ordered a ribs and brisket platter along with mac-n-cheese and baked beans. The plate also came with a corn muffin. Neither of the meats on my plate had much of an actual smoke ring, and the thin fatty brisket got cold way too quickly. The corn muffin was tasty, but the other two sides lacked any "punch" in flavor.My mom could hardly eat her chopped BBQ chicken meal except for the corn nuggets.This was a one and done stop for us.

This was solid. It's exactly what you would have expected. Nothing to rave about but also a good meal for a good price, at the end of the day. The meats were really good and flavorful; really appreciated that they weren't dry. The service was also good. Our server was knowledgeable and very kind. He wasn't constantly on top of us, which we appreciated it. The ambiance was okay. Nothing to note really. Overall a solid 4 stars on food and service.

Outdoor seating for breakfast afterwards Sunday church. Chris was our server, very enjoyable and excellent. Alas, her last day. Great prices and promptly served.

Ambiance-music targeted to age group in their 20's. VERY loud to the point you can't hear each other talk. No matter where you are in the restaurant. We requested music to turn down, and the waiter said owners would not allow him to do it. Just a heads up.

Pablo was an awesome server! Very attentive, always checking in with us to make sure everything was ok! The food was great! We had a party of 6 & we asked for separate checks, "no problem". My husband and I shared The Sampler, with sweet potato fries and corn bread. Everything was delicious! The others in our party had a half a rack of ribs, pulled pork sandwich, fried green potatoes, okra. Everyone loved everything. Prices were great! The ambience was great too! We would definitely come back.

We had a delicious dinner at big John's rockin barbecue and our server. Lindsey was friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the menu. We were not sure where to have dinner and came to big John's and will definitely be returning! Don't miss the brisket! Highlight of the meal along with the nachos and brisket sandwich. Cocktails were tasty and a great deal on tequila reposado! Don't miss this hidden gem.

We stopped in after going to auto auction. It was nice. Good was decent nothing really stood out. It wasn't crowded the service was fine. The food came out without bbq sauce, but the table had several options on it. The Chicken was a little dry on its own and didn't had any flavor. I wouldn't go back, we are big bbq fans and it wasn't for us. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it but I know people have different taste in bbq so give it a try for yourself.

This was a great bbq experience, I sometimes make excuses for Florida BBQ since I've had the opportunity to eat lots of bbq across the country but no need to use any disclaimers here this place is legit. We pulled in here late afternoon on a Saturday and we hit it right before the locals started arriving so no wait and speedy service from the kitchen - of course everyone has their favorites but I gotta say it was all delicious and the service was outstanding Pork Ribs - fall off the bone tender, nice bark and smoky sweet these are a must have for the rib lovers.Andouille Sausage - served sliced and lightly sauced - great example of a lean quality smoked sausage.Fried Okra - perfectly fried, served hot and so delicious with ranch dressing.Bbq Beans - smoky and sweet loved the beansOkay those were my favorites but by no mean did anything here disappoint.Brisket - lean maybe a little leaner than I like but I didn't ask for fatty so the kitchen did a nice job, I mixed a little of the hot and sweet sauce for dipping.Green Beans - loved them tender and still firmColeslaw - finely shredded mayo based great ratio loved it Texas Toast - grilled perfect as it should be.I was so happy with the entire experience so glad we found this place what a gem for the locals - I'd definitely do this again when in the area...

This is the absolute best BBQ you can buy! I wouldn't listen to the negatives on here. We have been several times and the food and service has never disappointed. Tonight we had the super sampler which comes with the most tender and moist brisket. We travel all over the world and there are few places that compare. This is Texas style brisket and you definitely don't need sauce! The ribs were fall off the bone and have a uniquely sweet finishing taste. The pork and chicken were also good but the sausage was amazing!! The baked beans and collard greens are true southern style and delicious. We got the corn nugget appetizer and it does not disappoint! My husband had their house lager and I had a frozen mango margarita which was very good. Nice and refreshing compared to the Florida heat.Our server was excellent (shout out to Cory) and the ambience was cool. It is a good mix of hole-in-the-wall and retro rock themed restaurant. There was not a table empty in this place tonight! Our server was upfront and let us know that since they are a mom and pop shop and so busy, it may be a little longer wait than the locals are used to (maybe that's why people seem so upset on here??) but it was shorter than a wait at most chain places! The wait wasn't bad at all. Overall a must try place!!
