M&M Old Hickory Smokehouse BBQ — Restaurant in Florida

I have Never written a review good or bad on anyone but I just couldn’t refuse it this time! I had just finished eating at waffle house which is in this same parking lot when I came out I smelled the smoke from the pit which i immediately said it smells good so I decided to grab a plate that I would eat later for dinner I am a OTR truck driver and you can quickly get burned out on the truck stop usuals so I took the opportunity to grab something different while I could when I first approached the window they place wasn’t open yet and I waited 45 minutes until 11 am to purchase my food before I hit the road because the smoke had me invested in tasting it I spent $45 dollars including the tip on a 2 meat plate that came with 2 sides which I thought was a bit pricey but I was ok with it being that it’s a small business so I understand the cashier was polite service was fairly quick and I was the first customer of the day I got my food and I left hoping that everything tasted as good as it smelled now ironically about 5 minutes into my drive into the load I had just been dispatched on it was cancelled so I parked and while I waited for new instructions I decided to try my food and I was pretty upset when I bit into the ribs because the meat was dry and I know food I could tell I had been served Ribs that had to be from the day before there was no way that RIB had been cooked on today and it made me so upset because the flavor was there and I could tell had it been fresh I would have been extremely satisfied also I want sat the sausage was bad I’ll just say i didn’t care for it I just felt that it was just bad to charge that price and serve some one meat from the day before I understand some days are tuff in business but that’s definitely not a good business practice and here are the pictures to prove my claims because i don’t want anyone thinking I’m just making this up to hurt someone’s business because I would definitely not do that I just didn’t appreciate the meat being old when I paid a high price and left a tip for a take out order! To be fair it was one good rib on the plate so I added the picture of it as well so you can tell...

Let me just say, if you love good bbq....this is your spot! Not everybody knows about good bbq. Mark is one hell of a pitmaster and his lovely wife Teresa makes all the fixins. I will gladly drive 1.5 hours to eat here. We got ribs, fish, and brisket with mac n cheese and greens. Baby, that mac n cheese was cheesy and seasoned. Thank you Jesus! The greens....well...let's just say, they were gone before I could move on to anything else. The brisket was juicy and tender and seasoned just right. My mouth was watering with every bite. My husband loved the ribs. The fish...oh baby the fish melt in ya mouth like butter on a hot roll. Put a little hot sauce on that bad boy....mmmmm Our son polished off the last filet and that was after 1.5 hour drive. He was mad we didn't bring more. This is a husband and wife owned business ran and worked by them. Times are hard, things are expensive but this place is a must try. There is no doubt Mark and Teresa will take good care of you when you come in! Their hearts are in there business! God Bless and...

Not the kind of BBQ I like. We tried the chicken and pulled pork.The pulled pork here is comes drenched in sauce, you cannot even taste the meat. I believe that if smoked meat comes sauced it’s because you’re hiding something, whether that it’s dry meat you’re trying to rehydrate or trying to add flavor from not smoking long enough. At $17 for pork and two sides, I expected more by way of quality. The chicken tasted good, but didn’t taste smoked at all. Maybe it’s not supposed to be smoke chicken and I am assuming here but it was a light brown/gold color not bronze like smoked chicken should be. It almost seem like it was propane grilled. It was also lacking that faint smoke ring chicken gets.

Positives, the staff is very friendly. The sides were very hot and fresh to order. They were still too hot to eat after a 10 minute drive which is great since everyone hates cold food when they get home. I wouldn’t recommend dining here as there is no shade or working fans. The tables are out in the Sun. I wouldn’t return but some people like pre...
