DH and I went for lunch on a Sunday. The restaurant is friendly and homey. The decorations were great and the atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and comfortable. They have tables and booths to accommodate most guests. They even have outdoor seating. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the gentleman sat us in a booth which we preferred. Jenny came right over and took our drink order. She came right back and took our order. DH ordered a combo meal: 8 oz sirloin and shrimp with baked beans and a loaded baked potato then he added the salad bar (currently $8.95 to add to a meal). I ordered the jumbo spare rib meal with 8 bones and a salad bar. It's a different cost because I didn't want the 2 sides that came with it. It was great that Jenny offered that because I was having trouble deciding on the sides. She brought us our plates for the salad bar and we both went up to get some salads and all the fixings. I love salads so I was extremely happy with their salad bar. Only suggestion is that they don't include the stem (white center) of the iceberg lettuce head. I only found one but that was my only suggestion. They had broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms , onions, tomatoes, green peppers, eggs, cheese, black olives, pickles, beets, carrots and other vegetables that I can't remember now. They also had macaroni salad, potato salad, fruit (peaches, pineapple, etc) and desserts: tapioca and chocolate pudding. I ate my mountain of salad! It was fantastic! The jumbo spare ribs were wonderfully delicious!!! Tender and juicy and great seasoning. DH really liked his salad and said his steak was juicy and tender. His shrimp were amazing ! I tasted one and it was perfectly cooked and breaded. They were so extremely delicious that we ordered an order to go! The baked beans and the baked potato were good too. I wanted to try the peaches and pudding at the salad bar so Jenny brought me a new plate. The peaches were great and the tapioca pudding was very good!We knew we were taking some food home so we wanted a dessert to take home so we got 2 carrot cakes. Jenny checked in with us several times and never let our drinks get low. She refilled them when she saw that they got 3/4 of the way down the glass. She ensured that we were enjoying our meals and we really appreciated that. We will definitely be back and we can't wait! We'll definitely ask for Jenny too. Thank you for a great experience!

Well after 53 check-ins over 10 years at the time of this review I feel it's only fair to this business and the wonderful staff here to give them credit for all they do. This place is definitely a landmark restaurant in the City of Deland and it's been one of my favorite lunch spots. The food here is consistently good and of high quality, from the fresh salad bar to the sides and entrée's I assure you you'll never leave here hungry. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are more than fair which makes Brian's an exceptional value, it's no wonder during lunch service it's filled with area workers and local business people and you'll alway see a fair amount of the elderly folks which shows the continued contribution this restaurant brings to the local economy.All the servers here are wonderful and friendly people and it's seems everyone has their favorite so it's very common for customers to request a certain section in the dining area to ensure they get their preferred server. I like the back-wall where the seating is a combination of booths and tables and belongs to Tammy who is always on top of her game, she always remembers our drink preference and is very attentive I'm probably a little bias and a lot spoiled but she's absolutely the best.My favorites here - "The Boss" BBQ Steak Sandwich, "The Alamo" brisket and sausage stacked high on a bun or garlic roll, it's no longer on the menu but always available so if you have a newer server they may give you a strange look but it will be delivered. I usually always get the salad bar even if that requires a small charge to use as a side and my drink is always in a "to go" cup, its extra large and is alway filled to the brim before you walk out the door. If your in the area and you like bbq like I do, it's definitely worth stopping in...

Food was great however I'm use to getting bbq sauce with my bbq. I would recommend offering on the phone while taking orders as I thought it would come with. Service was great but I did not know where to park for curb side pick up, definitely needs signage. The food and customer service was amazing and I would recommend it for sure!

Just driving by and the aroma made us turn back and go in. The food was awesome. Sausage plate with beans and corn was tasty. Brisket with beans and sweet potato was also great. Very cute restaurant.

The food is great, but not very original. It feels classic to the point of generic. I can't tell this apart from 50 other barbecues, which is not great. I'd say upgrading presentation of the dishes would be the easiest way to level it up to 5 stars.

one of our favorite places to go for several reasons .... affordable ala carte options allows us to bring something home for the next night, the salad bar is the best in the area, they have fantastic burgers, and Delaney is the best waitress in town ...Delaney is such a great waitress we only go on the nights she is working ...

When I want some good Baby Back Ribs my go to is ALWAYS Dustin's....... I pass by Brian's all the time but have never tried it. Until today! They did not disappoint! Meaty, tender and delicious baby backs!! The award winning sauce was pretty damn good too!! The sides I got were average. (Buttered Corn & Bacon Grits.) If the sides were a little more flavorful and more of it, this would have gotten 5 stars...... Will return!!!!!!

Awesome BBQ here! Great service from Jordyn-thank you! Great value for the lunch specials-the regular portions must be mammoth! Garlic bread was perfection with my beef brisket. Indoor & outdoor seating available. Not a bbq fan--try their humongous salad bar!

This does not resemble nor represent actual BBQ. Starting with fresh from the freezer appetizers to the reheated BBQ pork straight from the package. Overall lack of seasonings or flavor from the pulled Pork to the green beans. Service is what you expect. Plenty of parking in a retro wooden clad dining room,
