One pound of brisket
Bryan M.

The food here was delicious, fresh, and hot. You'll find him and his food truck in the parking lot of the Ace Hardware in Merritt Island. At least, that's where I found him. Not sure if he travels around the area or not TBH. Plenty of food for a reasonable price and he was pretty friendly too. Asked me if I had his wings yet, which I had not since it was my first time there. He then put a sampler 4 in a container for me to take with me, for free. Pretty awesome. The sides are all generous too. I got a pound of sliced brisket and 2 sides (plus those 4 wings), and it fed both me and my 16 yr old with a black hole stomach, with leftovers. I think I spent around $15 for the whole order.

Awesome wings with a side of baked beans.

I had to drop off my wife and daughter at Port Canaveral for a cruise around 12noon. I was hungry and started looking for a place for lunch. A little hidden behind ACE Hardware in Merritt Island is Big Don's BBQ. I ordered a pound of brisket and an order of wings. The brisket was great! Great seasoning and tender. Wings were great with a unique but very good buffalo sauce. Highly recommend!!!!

Slices of tenderloin, beans and Mac and cheese.

Wonderful food. Great service. Good prices. Nice selection of items…read more My family stopped after the water park very hungry. After looking at every single restaurant in coco beach, I decided on big daddy's. Everyone left happy and full, even my picky eater. The waitresses with green eyes listened to my youngest and made her a special baked potato. We will definitely be back. Delicious food.

My husband and I were looking for something different on Cocoa Beach, so we decided to try Big…read moreDaddy J's 5 Great Things after seeing the good reviews. When we arrived, we did notice the outside could use a little TLC, but once inside, it was very clean and tidy. We were immediately greeted by both the hostess and bartender, and they were very friendly. We were seated right away and our drink orders were taken quickly. It took us a few minutes to go through the menu since we weren't familiar with the restaurant, and there are quite a few items to choose from. We ordered the "Crack Mac Snack" (macaroni and cheese) and added pulled pork and the biscuit bread. The food came out quickly, and we were not disappointed. The biscuit bread was absolutely amazing, rich, soft, and delicious (maybe a little too generous with the butter on top, but still delicious). It's a thick, hearty piece, about two inches high and roughly four inches square. The mac and cheese was a generous portion and easily enough to share, and it was really good. The homemade BBQ sauce was also a highlight. The only slight miss was my husband's Coke, which wasn't very sweet, possibly a calibration issue with the machine. Overall, this is definitely a spot worth trying if you're in Cocoa Beach and want something different. There's a lot on the menu, and we'll definitely be back.

I went to Sonny's BBQ. On a Tuesday afternoon. It wasn't too busy…read more We were greeted and seated promptly. They no longer have a salad bar. The decor was rustic with lots of natural wood. I ordered the Smoked Turkey dinner, it comes with 2 sides. and a choice of garlic Texas toast or a cornbread muffin. I like the smoked turkey because it is real turkey breast. I chose the sweet potato and broccoli as my sides. The turkey was moist with a mild smoky flavor. The sweet potato was really tasty. Broccoli was cooked just right. I would have liked a little larger servings of turkey. The other orders were 1/2 smoked chicken. BBG Brisket, and a combo of brisket and chicken breast. Everyone said theirs were good. The Macaroni and cheese was declared very good. FYI If you choose the garlic toast, they bring one slice unless you ask for two slices. The service was pleasant and timely.

When I come down to Merritt Island Florida to so see my mom I always eat at Sonny's. Coming from…read moreCalifornia where eating out is expensive I'm so happy for a great meal at an affordable price. You can't beat Sonny's tasty BBQ it is really good and the prices will not hurt anyone. If you have a family and want a great dinner with a pleasant staff bring them to Sonny's. Plus I always see a nice happy crowd of customers when I come in. Take my word you will be a happy customer too.
