OMG!!! Oakwood Smokehouse and BBQ is my absolute favorite BBQ in the world!!! Did I say I love this place cause you will too from the moment you park your car as you walk across the parking lot you can't miss the wafting scent of smoke, get dry rub and "Oakwwod"! Without a doubt, this award winning restaurant has mastered their craft of great smoked BBQ!!! The place is well known, and I say this so you won't go during the winter, dinner rush hour only to find an hour and a half wait before you get to taste what your nose has already decided is the absolute best smoked meat and best southern side dishes in the whole state of Florida!! The place is casual as BBQ should be thr prices a reasonable and the service is fast, efficient, and confident because it's just THAT GOOD. They have little patience with first timers questioning their GREAT reputation (rightfully so too!). The parking lot is a bit small but they do have handicapped parking as well as entrance. The restrooms are handicap accessible too. If you're into taxidermy, you'll love the rustic casual atmosphere of Oakwood...

Read moreThis food was absolutely scrumptious!!! It was served very quickly and was piping hot! The smoked flavor of my smoked chicken breast and wing was superb!! Our waiter told us that all the smoking is done in-house. My bestie's ribs were super tender, falling off the bone. Her baked sweet potato was baked to soft, sweet perfection. My green beans and black-eyed peas were very tender, seasoned perfectly, and tasted like Mama's home cookin'! The grilled garlic Texas toast was very tasty, too!!
The staff members were all very kind, helpful, and solicitous. The hostess held the door open while I slowly limped my way into the restaurant with my newly-installed leg boot. She gave us a table near the entrance, so I wouldn't have to go far. Our waiter, Jacob, was very kind, very helpful, gave great recommendations, and was very accommodating of all our requests. You'll be well taken care of if you ask for Jacob.
We will definitely be recommending this restaurant and...
