Holy Moly, this was hands down the beat barbecue experience my mom and I ever had. We had to make some time before her Dr's appt so we had some lunch. Blown away by this place. If you have a barbecue bucket list, add Crydermans Barbecue to it. Beyond amazing !!!!

Brisket sandwich. Potato salad.

The food is good. The prices are bad. It's a once in a while place for me because it's so expensive. It had a funky smell in the dining area, like old sour diary which grossed me out.

This place is great we got 1lb of brisket with a pull pork sandwich some ribs and a couple of sides. Everything tasted amazing we even got their new dessert the cinnamon bread pudding. The line moves very slow to eat here because the workers move slow. If the workers would've been more diligent the line would be a lot faster. The bill came out to be around $90. It's cheaper do you pay cash as well. The place is all outdoor seating but there was little to non bugs. There is large and small tables and they are in the shade. Overall great bbq to eat!

Brisket, beans, and mac n cheese

Still the best barbecue in Brevard, my beef brisket sandwich was delicious and the Hawaiian ice tea is to die. The not so good was the chili which resembled and tasted like the cheap stuff you would put on a hot dog. The potato salad was mushy and very bland. After many samplings thrpughout the years their beef sausage has got to be about the worst I have ever tasted in a barbecue joint and I have tasted it all. Pricing here is also a distraction and reflective in the empty lunch benches. Yeah people are tightening their belts these days.

Wow! From the service to the food, this is my new favorite bbq spot on the east coast of Florida. The brisket is Texas style and smoked to a perfect pink tint. The sauces are good too, but I went with the dry rub. Perfect for the beach day!

I cannot say enough good things about Crydermans Barbecue. The quantity and quality of the food cannot be surpassed. The brisket sandwich is 1/3 pound meat on a potato bun. It melts in your mouth. I also had the special of the day - Key Lime Crack Puddin'. I did not think I could finish it, but I could not stop eating it! My family also enjoyed the ribs, mac & cheese, collard greens, and bread puddin'. You order inside and then sit in a covered area with picnic tables. The staff is very helpful and patient.

This was my third time visiting Crydermans BBQ. Whenever I'm in the area, I stop by this bbq spot. Everyone there is nice and helpful. Great customer service. It's counter service, just like when I'm in Texas, so you know it's legit! The outdoor area it's perfect. Makes the whole experience. We tried both types of ribs, brisket, burnt ends, sausage, Mac and cheese and potato salad. Everything was delicious. Potato salad wasn't it, but wasn't horrible. They have beers on can and bottle, so you can sip and have great bbq if you're into that. Can't wait to visit again!

Everything about Crydermans is top notch! From their great, friendly service, to their scratch made foods and smoked meats. Even the side dishes and desserts are one of a kind. Parking is super easy, parking lot is right across the street and there is plenty of outdoor/under cover seating. Bathroom clean and stocked, as well as the common area is clean and stocked. Owners Chad and Amy are great people! Everyone here loves bbq and is passionate about serving quality foods. Mac and cheese is smoked and has a little kick. If you're luck enough to be there when they have burnt ends, get them! Pickles are crunchy and the onions on the side are a nice touch.

We came back from our cruise today and had time before our flight tonight, so we visited Crydermans based on a local friend's high praise and the excellent reviews here. Also, my friend loves bbq so we had to stop by here. When we asked for recommendations, the lady suggested the pulled pork, turkey, and brisket for our combo platter. I honestly don't like turkey at all, but we decided to try it, along with sides of collard greens and pork, and mac and cheese. We also got an order of 4 baby back rib bones. The turkey breast was surprisingly the most tender I've ever had. My friend commented that it tasted slightly overcooked since the texture was a tad mushy, which I agreed with. The standouts were the baby back ribs and pulled pork. At other places I've been to, pulled pork tends to be soft and mushy, and drenched in sauce--but this one was just the right texture, and sauces for everything are provided as self-serve options. The collard greens were excellent while the mac and cheese lacked that memorable factor. Three sauces are offered, a sweet one, a spicy one, and a mustard based one. I couldn't really taste the difference between the sweet and spicy ones, so perhaps more heat in the spicy one would elevate it. Service was on point and everyone was extremely helpful. There are tables outside, with some under shade and others under the sun. It was a bit chilly so the food cooled down quickly but it tasted delicious nonetheless. I can see why Crydermans is renowned in the area! Next time I'm in the area with my family, we will certainly visit!

I'm from Miami, and we were in Vero beach, and we were told that Crydermans is the BEST BBQ in Florida. And I can tell you and confirm, that it didn't disappoint. We got there at 11:45, perfect time as we didn't have to wait, by 12:15, the line was 17-20 people deep. The employees were amazing, very patient explaining why the 2 platters would be better for 10, and it was, we even had left overs to take home. Plenty of food for all to have, including the sides. The brisket was phenomenal, the pork was amazing, the sausage and the ribs were delicious. Everything was truly was great. The seating area was nice, huge fan kept everything nice and cool, and the music selection was really good, we Shazammed a couple jams. Next time we're in town or passing by, we're definitely stopping by again! Must come!

We have been here about 8-10 times and it has been 4-5 stars every time. This place has served me some of the best brisket I have ever had. I love the collard greens and the beans are incredible. The Mac and cheese is good not great. This was the worst brisket we have ever had here and it was still better than any other brisket I had all year. All of the meats are top notch. It is very pricey considering the setting. It is a cool part of town and they always sell out so who am I to judge. I will be back.

Love their outside seating area!

When is the Melbourne location open? Or, did it close down already, before I even got to go there? It just seems to always be closed everytime I drive by...

We are open Tuesday thru Saturday 11am-6:30 pm. Hope to see you soon my friend.

Do they have any vegetarian options?

Other person said yes, but the only non-meat items I remember are their side dishes. So if you can make a meal out of cole slaw and sweet tea...yes there are vegetarian options.

If you're anywhere near the Space Coast and not stopping at Big Daddy J's, you're missing a launch…read moreyou'll regret. We grabbed seats at the bar, and right out of the gate the experience was mission-ready. The girls behind the bar were awesome, friendly, attentive, and just had that effortless vibe that makes you feel like a regular even if it's your first visit. Now the food... wow. Everything came out fresh, hot, and absolutely dialed in. The burgers were stacked and juicy, the sandwiches loaded, and those sidewinder fries? Forget it. Crispy, golden perfection. You can tell nothing sat under a heat lamp, this was all cooked to order and launched straight to the table. Best way I can describe it given the location... This wasn't just good food, it was a full-on flavor liftoff. Like sitting a few miles from Cape Canaveral and watching a rocket punch through the atmosphere, everything about this meal just took off and didn't look back. Great people, killer food, laid-back atmosphere... this place hits on all cylinders. We'll definitely be back for another launch

Cute spot close to the beach. The biscuit was a generous portion and very soft--great for sharing…read more It would be even better with honey butter, though I added a bit of barbecue sauce to give it a sweeter flavor. The mac and cheese was very creamy and flavorful. I also enjoyed the fish sandwich, which I added tomato and lettuce to since it doesn't come with them. The tartar sauce on the sandwich was especially good. My friend had the brisket sandwich which she enjoyed with fries. Service was excellent and very attentive. Overall, the food was solid and I had a really enjoyable experience.

Here's a pop up bbq spot that everyone must add to their bookmark/favs. I came here a month or so…read moreago a few times for an order of the Brisket and another time a order of the Smoked Oxtails. I don't know where to start. The times I went there was usually a wait, but for good food I will wait all day. You can wait in your car u til your order is ready if needed. They're fairly new so they working out the timing on getting orders ready in a timely manner. The Brisket is definitely some of the best brisket in the area..so much flavor and moisture. This would probably be my most fav item on the menu. The Smoked Oxtail is literally right on the heals of the brisket..coming in as my 2nd most fav item on the menu. I never had smoked oxtail before but this was amazing. The oxtail had a smoked tender flavor and it also came with some gravy over white rice. You will have to visit often because he switches up the menu and usually doesn't have the oxtails on the same days as he has the brisket..it's a place I encourage all to try out if you're in the Cocoa area. Follow them on IG: SmokinColes_bbq so you can stay updated on their location and times ea week. Will post pics from my next visit.

Best BBQ in Cocoa Florida! Great customer service, many items to pick off the menu. The owner was…read morereally nice he even took us by the grill to see the food Cooking and spinning and gave us a sample of a rib while we were waiting for our food to be prepared. Took the food less then 5 minutes to come out hot and fresh! I recommend Smokin Coles BBQ to anyone in the area, traveling through or just wanting some good ol delicious BBQ

Checked out Cajun Soul in Cocoa Village today and here are my thoughts…read more  We started with the ordered Southern Poutine (fries with cheese curds and pot roast). Comfort food. I ordered the Shrimp & Crawfish Étouffée as my entree. Liked the presentation and the portion size.

Parking was a little tricky but I called and they said park behind the car oil business and sure enough there was public parking on the grass across the church.

I got the catfish imperial with the blackened catfish and WOW, there was so much seasoning on the catfish that I hardly recognized it was a fish. It was perfectly seasoned and the rice complemented it very well. It also came with crawfish etouffee and my goodness, this elevated the dish to a whole other level. It was creamy and savory, and when you combine the etouffee with a piece of the catfish over rice, you get the PERFECT bite. The service was amazing and all the staff were friendly and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant took me back to NOLA and I've never even been there! Needless to say, this is a must-visit restaurant if you love anything Cajun.
