Really yummy I am impressed 20/10 coming here every time I am on manatee ave if you're on vacation…read moreand love soul food you won't regret coming here ! Service was spectacular and was very lovely. The vibe was sincere very yummy corn bread definitely coming back I didn't say it already haha

This was a great find. Working smokers outside gave the place that authentic BBQ feel, picnic…read moretables outside, more seating inside, wonderful service. This is what a BBQ joint should be. We even got to chat with Eddie the Pitmaster for a couple of minutes, he is the real deal. I love BBQ and to me, there is no such thing as bad BBQ. That said, this was super good. I tried their Beef Brisket Platter and part of their The Pig Mac. With Manny the humanoid pig looking on, we dove in. The brisket was flavorful, no sauce needed. There was plenty of fat and plenty of slices. For my two sides I tried their coleslaw, which was fine, and their cucumber salad. I'm a big flavor guy and love cucumber slices soaked in vinegar. After we had ordered our food another customer stopped by our table and praised their The Pig Mac so much, we added it to our order. What a great recommendation. It is a sandwich with a cheesy patty of mac n' cheese, pulled pork on the side. We even got another side and tried their potato salad made with both white and sweet potatoes. I liked the thinking outside the box potato salad. The pulled pork, like the brisket, stood very well on its own without sauce. The pork topping the cheesy patty just worked so well. We will be back.

This place is phenomenal Period…read moreGreat chicken, pork and ribs Everything else in SRQ has to compete with Perry's in the top spot

We were sitting around talking about something sweet. We all had a sweet tooth and was hungry at…read morethe same time. Then somebody brought up sweet potato pie. Why did they say that? Now normally on August you can't really find a good sweet potato pie but low and behold my people told me about this place. I am not from Sarasota so I didn't know the gem they had down the road. Literally. So what did we do? Call them. How many lies do you have? I have three left. Hold them I'm on my way. Now once my friend for there she decided to buy some barbecue too. So we could snack but the main objective today was pie. She scooped up some brisket sandwiches and some ribs too. When she walked in the house and gave me my own individual pie I'm thinking it's just a slice. Nope it's an individual deep dish pie for one person. Did I say deep dish? Oh yes God! The crust was not store bought. It had a heavy presence of butter, it was flaky and it was also slight sweet. I could have ate the pie crust all by itself. The taste omg just the right texture. It was heavy, not loose. Sweet but not overpowering the sweet potato. Just the right amount of butter, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Jesus my friend can't never come visit Atlanta without bringing me at least two of these pies. I couldn't eat it all at one time either. So not sleep on these pies. Oh and there were no strings either. The barbecue was dry rub and some of the best I have ever had. I wish I had more of it but again it was a snack and not the focus. Best believe I will have me another pie.

@ Mouthole BBQ If you're in Sarasota, do yourself a favor…read moreand check this place out. It's definitely not for vegans--this is a true meat lover's paradise. The brisket is some of the best I've ever had: juicy, flavorful, and just plain delicious. Let me say it again--JUICY. They also have a long list of incredible burgers that never disappoint. They run great specials throughout the week, and the owners, Ray and Nikki are hardworking and genuinely lovely people. I eat here often and I'm not embarrassed to admit it. Quality food, amazing experience every time. I'm addicted--and you will be too.

Dear Mouthole Smashburger & BBQ,…read more I'd like to file a formal complaint. First, your food is entirely too delicious. Every time we come here, we leave happy, full, and already planning our next visit. That's suspicious behavior. Second, the staff is ridiculously friendly. I was expecting the standard "here's your food" interaction, but instead we were greeted by genuinely welcoming people who seem to enjoy what they do. Again, suspicious. Tonight's offender was the patty melt. It was juicy, flavorful, and downright disrespectful to every mediocre sandwich I've ever eaten. I may never look at another patty melt the same way. As for my two biggest complaints: You're not closer to my house. You're not open every day. Frankly, I find both of these decisions deeply inconvenient for my burger addiction. All jokes aside, I have yet to find a single thing to complain about. Great food, awesome people, and a place that never disappoints. Mouthole Smashburger & BBQ has officially become one of our favorite spots. Keep smashing burgers and ruining all other burgers for the rest of us. We'll be back soon.

Stopped into Smoqehouse and was really impressed. The Cuban sandwich was fantastic--the pulled pork…read morewas absolutely mouthwatering, tender, flavorful, and loaded into a perfectly toasted sandwich. The house-made chips and dipping sauce were a great addition. I also loved reading the story behind the restaurant. You can tell this is a family-run place where a lot of care and passion goes into the food and the experience. Great food, great story, and a place I'd definitely come back to. Highly recommend the Cuban!

Smoqehouse was our choice for an early dinner. It is a small place along Gulf Dr, yet easy to spot…read morewith its bull and its black and white look. They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.
