This is exactly what you want from a BBQ truck. It's only open Saturday from 12-5 but is absolutely worth planning around. All the meat choices were well done. The ribs, pulled pork and brisket were all very good. I am from KC so it doesn't quite match a place like Joe's, but it really close. The brisket is a bit fatty, but that adds to the flavor.
Prices are fair, so for BBQ, it is value for quality. It was busy and the grass area parking off of Avalon is a little limited, but manageable. It's informal and easy to navigate.
They have 4 different sauces and they are all great. It was a great experience, food was great, expect a little wait...it's popular for a reason.
Edit: I failed to give them credit for serving their meats "dry" as all good BBQ should be. If you have to cover the taste with sauce, there's something wrong. With that being noted, their sauces are ridiculously great. I expected them to coast on the sauces given the size and nature of the operation, but I was dead wrong. I wouldn't waste covering their very good BBQ with sauce, but sauces are essential to enjoying your fries and sides. All four choices were simply outstanding. These are as good as you'll find in KC, Memphis, St Louis or the Texas places that are known in the BBQ world. I am not over stating this,...

They were posted up at the Winter Garden Downtown Pavilion and Farmers Market—tons of people everywhere, live bands playing, the sun shining—basically, the universe’s way of saying, "You need BBQ right now."
I ordered one pound of brisket and a half slab of ribs. Let’s talk ribs first—absolute fire. Tender, juicy, with a smoky hug and a BBQ sauce that had just the right kick. I considered writing a love letter to them, but figured this review would do.
The brisket? Well, it came pulled instead of sliced—an unexpected plot twist. It was sauced up and heavy on the salt. Alone, it was a bit much but throw it on a bun? Chef’s kiss. Smoky and packed with flavor. Still, I’d trade my left sock for a sliced version next time.
Despite the crowd, the staff was on point—got my food fast and kept the BBQ dreams alive. If you see the smoke, follow it. Just maybe bring a bun for...
Read moreFinally made the decision to stop by and best decision ever! I usually pass by this spot every time I go to the Winter Garden farmers market and today was the day I decided to stop by. My boyfriend and I both had the brisket Mac bowls. He had it with the mild sauce and I had the sweet sauce. The portion size was absolutely perfect for lunch and a generous amount of sauce on the side to add to your liking. I wish I had taken pictures of the bowl but we instantly ate our bowls as soon as we got them. My dog even enjoyed the smells while we waited. Will be coming back and I plan on bringing friends and family...
