    After leaving NC, we’re glad we found this place. A great piece of Winter Park history. Will definitely return to try everything. Brisket - get the moist one. Perfectly seasoned and tender! 9.5 Pulled pork - Great taste and good texture. 9 Burnt ends - Fantastic. Flavorful and caramelized. Perfection. 9.5 Sides: Cornbread - Tasty. 8.5 Coleslaw - Great and refreshing. 9 Mac & cheese - Good. 7.8 Sauces: Hot - Good BBQ - Ok Mustard - Good Missing a Vinegar based sauce. Perhaps a NC source of inspiration?

    First, I will say that I have eaten at the four Rivers BBQ in Daytona Beach. So my expectation was already set that the food was amazing and the atmosphere was awesome as well. This location in Winter Park was definitely not a letdown. The food was amazing. The atmosphere is awesome. As a matter of fact, I might like this location a little better than the Daytona location. I chose to do the three meat platter and also got an extra side of cornbread. By far it's the best way to get a great sample of their food. I chose the sausage, the smoked turkey and the brisket. You cannot go wrong with any of those. If I were going to choose two for the two meat platter I would probably choose the brisket and the sausage. My biggest decision at the end of my meal was deciding what was going to be my last bite, a piece of the sausage or a piece of the brisket. And of course, which barbecue sauce the regular or the spicy. I chose the brisket with the spicy barbecue sauce. All in all great food and absolutely worth the price. I did spend $29 and that was with a tip at the register. I did get a fountain soda and of course again I did get an extra side.
