The best BBQ in Palm Beach, super polite staff that actually take pride in where they work. A little pricey but worth it!

This is a super unassuming bbq spot hidden in a strip mall. We ordered 1/3 lb brisket and 1/3 lb pulled pork. It was way more than enough for the two to us! For sides we got Mac n cheese and collard greens. A Cornbread muffin. And a Mixed berry Cobbler for dessert. Everything was truly outstanding. That brisket was so good. Loved the sauces at the table which were fun to try the different options and complemented the pulled pork really nicely. Was really pleasantly surprised by the staff. A bunch of young men working - teenagers would be my guess - and they couldn't have been kinder! read more

Came here for the first time on Friday for lunch - they were running a Philly Cheesesteak special and wanted to give it a try! It was made with brisket, sauteed peppers & onions, and topped with a poblano cheese sauce. I am not huge on these type of subs because in my past experience, the bread gets too soggy for me to enjoy. But I was pleasantly surprised when it didn't! I did end up eating it like open face sandwiches cause there was too much meat to close it - but that's not a bad problem to have lol! We also ordered a couple of sides - mac n cheese and potato salad - good! We also got some of the jalapeno cheddar sausage - great flavor and spice level! It's the kind of restaurant that you walk up to the window, order what you'd like, and then they prepare and have it for you either at check our or give you a number for your table, so they can bring it out to you. Everyone that worked there was friendly and helpful! It definitely felt like a BBQ place when you walked in, but a touch bit more of a modern feel. I'd definitely like to come back and try some of their other meats and sides. But for what we ordered and time we were there, it was good and we enjoyed our lunch! read more

Saw NEVS in PBG on DDD and decided to try it. Good decision. Easy to find and lots of parking in the shopping center. Didn't notice on DDD that you got in line to order, get, and pay but very efficient. Limited seating and half of it is communal seating at big tables. Usually fun though. Food is off a limited menu (and baby backs Saturday only) but every item was excellent. Burnt ends were so tender and very tasty. Brisket was awesome. Our dinner companion had the BBQ sandwich with enough BBQ "stew" for 3 buns and he loved it. Cole slaw different from any I've had before but delicious. Think your first corn muffin comes with your meal. Our best decision was getting extra to take home. Breakfast muffin with coffee was a big NEVS bonus (ask for 2 butters. Entree meats sold by weight. Didn't see any scales and pretty sure my 1/2 pound Brisket was overweight as were the burnt ends. Good place to share and they offer you a sharing tray. Free drink refills!! Fun atmosphere, good country music, 3 delicious sauces. No complaints. Enjoy. read more

Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum!!! So dang good! I tried all of the meats. Brisket was cooked perfectly and very juicy. Pulled pork was delicious. The black pepper sausage and the cheesy sausages were both awesome. The smoked turkey was so good. The chili (all the meats) was fantastic. And, of course, the burnt ends were righteous. The cole slaw was very good. My friends loved the cornbread croutons. Definitely go try it out!! read more

This place is absolutely delicious! I've had it bookmarked for a while and while we're down here this time visiting our Dad I wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. You walk in towards the counter and order. You first order your meat. I wasn't sure if I wanted a sandwich or platter and was told the corn bread is great so I went with a platter. You walk down the counter and order your side. The continue to walk towards the cash register. The pulled pork is absolutely delicious. Each table has three sauces you can put on your meat. The original sauce is so good. The Carolina sauce was also super tasty. We loved everything we ordered. All the employees were super friendly and nice. I wish them good luck! We will 100% be back. read more

Everything was great. Can't believe we took so long to try it out. The brisket was incredible and my wife had the pulled pork, also great. The Mac n cheese was super cheesy and creamy with twisted macaroni. I had the cole slaw which had an unusual flavor to me but I really liked it. It's not your regular cole slaw. They have beer and wine if you like. Also a full selection of soft drinks, tea, and water. It's not a large space but there is enough room. The crowd was nice and lively. Staff was also great and served us quickly. We really enjoyed it. read more

NEVS Barbecue - Brisket, Cole slaw, and cornbread - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

It lives up to the hype! What a great spot and experience we had today. I first had their Brisket, part of a breakfast sandwich at the Pumphouse in WPB. It's kind of an injustice on how flavorful this brisket fresh from the restaurant. This is definitely my top three in briskets I've tried in my lifetime. Tommy the owner was there and does share his customer service skills. He does go around and would ask if you enjoyed your meal. Along with the employees that go table to table to check on your experience. We also tried a Sausage sandwich which was perfect. And the baked beans and a Fire Mac and Cheese. We topped it all off with the jalapeño corn bread. What a complete hit at this BBQ joint. The restaurant is very clean and kept in tidy shape. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Truth is nothing to write home about. ‍ meat was cold and dry. BBQ nuts won't complain.

I have always been a huge BBQ fan, especially if the brisket is cooked well, and this place did not disappoint. The man behind the counter was helpful with recommendations and was very friendly. I ended up ordering the small brisket, and Mac and cheese with a cornbread muffin and holy smokes was it exactly what I was looking for. And to top it off he gave me a piece of the cheddar jalapeño sausage to try and it was so yummy! They have 3 sauces on the tables NEV's Original, Texas Hot and Carolina, and the original was my favorite. Totally worth checking out, you can taste that it's made with love. read more

NEVS Barbecue Fri 11/2025 Dinner time AMBIENCE: On a Friday night at 5pm, only one patron seated. After we placed our order, retrieved our beverages and sat down- this joint was jumpin'! (But people ate quickly, as it's fast casual dining. So don't be too concerned about getting a table. They have indoor and outdoor seating.) PS: Good mid-1990's country music. SERVICE: Manager was leading and training as we approach the counter. He did some clarifications and answers all our questions. Three to four young ladies ran registers, fixing the sides, and filling the soda machine with ice. They knew what they were doing. Several working back the kitchen. Good hires. Well trained. High five, NEV & managers! FOOD: We ordered two platters. Each with 1/3 lb protein + side + cornbread + soda each. Hubs order brisket + BBQ beans. I ordered the pulled pork + side green salad with maple pumpkin seed vinaigrette with cornbread croutons. For me, it was perfect balance of sweet and heat. I was very happy! Can't wait to go back so I can work through the menu. Next time, chili for me. Hubs is down the cracked black pepper sausage. VALUE: Considering how long it takes to cook brisket, how much I enjoyed it and the size of soda from a self serve soda fountain with the "good" ice- it was definitely a great value! WILL WE BE BACK?: Heck yeah! read more

Heard it was great but unfortunately it wasn't. I had the turkey it was very dry and not tasty at all. The bun wasn't too good either. Also tried a cornbread which was over baked and dry! I liked the coleslaw! Presentation was very boring. Your sandwich doesn't even come on a plate... read more

Came here in a whim, was in the same shopping center and decided to try it. I got the smoked turkey and potato salad. Both are very good. I had never heard of this place but glad I found it! Will definitely be back. And it's super quick if you need a quick grab and go lunch. Price point is pretty typical. I paid just under $15 for everything. read more

NEVS Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Having had takeout a couple times from here , I thought it was just OK. (I hate when people review based on takeout) So, I have been here 3 times in the last 10 months and I really enjoy it. Quick, clean, friendly, and delicious. Sad that they were closed last night by 6pm, so I had to try something else (not nearly as good). The pork is moist and delicious, no chunks of fat, perfectly smoked and has what appears to be a South Carolina mustard sauce mixed in. I can't judge most of the sides because I don't eat mayo, but the pickles are excellent, vinegary and tangy and the cornbread is perfect every time. Try it out, it's worth the trip. read more

Made it back to Nevs. Real BBQ in Florida is not that easy to find. Nevs is real Texas BBQ! Shared 2/3 lb. of brisket and a couple of sausages with a buddy. Overall, a good experience. The sausage was excellent and the brisket top notch. My only complaint was that we were served about 75% point, and a small bit of the flat. While this wouldn't normally bother me, it was not trimmed enough which resulted in a large chunk of fat which was inedible. The additional fattiness also resulted in an unappetizing puddle of grease on the tray and under the sausage. Flavor was totally on point, but that resulted in a 4 star review and not a 5. It may have been a one-off, so I'd certainly try them again. The cole slaw, beans, and cornbread were all excellent! I'd recommend your visiting NEVS if you're in the area. read more

NEVS Barbecue - BBQ platter. - Barbeque Near Me - Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

I don't know what happened to this place but the last time I came here I last year some time it was delicious. Today everything we had was not worth going back. We went on a Saturday since that is the only day they do baby back ribs. We ordered them. They serve them cut into pieces on a plate for you... odd. Horrible presentation, just looked like someone threw scraps on our plate. As she was cutting, "I said those look dry", she said "they are super moist." So we brought them to the table and when I say they were beyond dry I mean they could have been from last weeks dry. I had the brisket which I had the end cut, not willingly. One piece was ok, chewy but I could make it work. But the second piece was horrible, probably because it was the end piece. We make it a combo and got the Mac & cheese that was delicious last time. Idk what happened. It was as if they left it out all day without a cover and dried it up, didn't use salt. I had to pay for a muffin... I don't remember that before but idk ‍ it didn't look well done, but it was so dry. Over all we didn't have much to eat and left a bit hungry. Everything was so unappetizing. This place was packed last time we were here and now I realized why we could easily get a table. read more

If you're looking for real Southern comfort BBQ, Nevs absolutely delivers. From the moment I walked in, the customer service was excellent -- warm, welcoming, and full of that good Southern hospitality that's honestly hard to find in South Florida. The ribs and brisket were flavorful and juicy, not dried out like you get at a lot of other BBQ spots. You can tell they take their time and do it right. Now let's talk about the sides -- completely off the charts. You'll fall in love with the mac & cheese. The collard greens and pork chili were amazing and packed with flavor. Every bite felt like home cooking done right. On top of all that, the prices are affordable and there's more than enough food for everyone. Great portions, great quality, and great service. Nevs is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. read more

5 stars what's not to like NEVS knows BBQ! I had a half rack or ribs (Saturday's special) almost sold out before we ordered oven was down to its last two full racks. My girlfriend ordered the brisket burnt ends and we shared a pepper sausage. All the meats were delicious!!! The sides also equally amazing, the baked beans, potato salad, greens, and corn bread drinks sweet tea hit the spot as well. Let's not forget the house sauces at each table. We did manage to order a mix berry cobbler but were too stuffed to consume at the restaurant. Besides the food or drinks the restroom was unique a barn door with a latch like you would find on a back yard fence. Clean! read more

I hosted a party for over 20 people that enjoy good bbq. I had Nev caterer the event with brisket, turkey and sausage with slaw, potato salad and mac & cheese as the sides. My guests where from TX, GA, SC and CA. They all loved the food! When a diverse BBQ crowd all love it, you know it is good. Thank you Mark and Tommy for doing what you do. Much love for the BBQ and Service read more

There is no hesitation, no beat skipped when someone asks where to get great BBQ in north palm...the answer is always Nevs. For some reason BBQ places seem to struggle with consistency, but Nevs does not. Every meal, every interaction with staff is always top notch. There hasn't been a meat or side I haven't loved, but the brisket and smoked chicken are favorites. If you are a pickle fan, their pickles are also a must. The line service is always smooth so this is also a great spot to drop in on a quick lunch. Pro tip: recommend keeping an eye on their social media for Friday specials, because they are always a hit. read more

We went around 2p for late lunch. WOW! The 3 people will g were just the nicest and most welcoming. What great ambassadors of Nevs! 1st time for us. It's a cute, clean,order at the counter place. They told us how they cook everything in house along with making all the sides.I was hungry, ord a platter w/brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage, both were delicious; brisket was tender, perfectly smoked; sausage was really tasty with a slight jalapeno spice;comes w/a pretty incredible cornbread muffin that was crispy on the top, soft,fresh inside. Sides are ala carte I chose slaw, baked beans yummmm! Husb chose the shredded pork, turkey with pickle side. He also loved his food, both meats were perfect. They make their own BBQ sauce, used the original which was fantastic!Overall a great experience, we don't live close, we'll be back tho!! Even tho we went at an odd time, all food was fresh and perfect! read more

I was looking forward to some barbecue meats and as soon as I opened up the door I smelled the smoke bbq You walk up to the counter and the menu is on the wall and you choose your meats and sides . I picked out the platter which comes with a corn muffin and I got turkey and brisket and Mac and cheese with Cole slaw and my husband picked the platter with pork and smoked sausage with Cole slaw and baked beans . A little on the pricey side not big portions at all . As we sat down to a table there are bbq sauces on table and hot bbq sauce, regular bbq and Carolina sauce . I tried regular bbq sauce on my brisket and I didn't like the taste , so I tried the brisket by it self and the smoke flavor was too overpowering the meat taste giving it a aftertaste in my mouth . I didn't like it! The turkey was moist and I did taste the smoke flavor but it wasn't overbearing the taste of the meat. I did try the Carolina sauce and I did notice the both sauces wasn't a thick sauce which I'm use too , but I didn't like this sauce either. The Mac and cheese was very good and had a little zing to it like a spiced sauce and Cole slaw also was very good with a little bit of spicy side to it. My husband liked his sausage and pork ,but didn't like the bbq sauces either and the baked beans he said had way too much bbq sauce flavor and Cole slaw he liked . Well overall the place was quiet and clean and the service was excellent but I didn't really liked the food too much .. read more

Driving through Palm Beach County last night I got on ChatGPT and asked them who has the best barbecue in Palm Beach County. They said it was NEVS However, I chose to eat at tropical barbecue instead because I saw that one first and I was really hungry. So sorry I didn't drive all the way to NEVS because it's definitely the best barbecue in Palm Beach County for sure. But you know what it's not even their food that's the best. It's their whole process of coming in ordering the food paying for it and been able to sit down and start eating very quickly. It took me forever just to place an order at tropical barbecue they suck. And finally, the staff at NEV's BBQ is great. They really are concerned about your dining experience and they will do everything they can to give you the best that they can not like those people at tropical barbecue who don't give two shits whether you have a good experience or not.. I am a professional executive chef and I am from Tennessee and Texas and I can tell you NAV BBQ is the real deal. In fact it's probably some of the best brisket I've ever had from anywhere. First time I've ever seen a barbecue joint in a strip mall worth mentioning, but it's more than worth mentioning. It's the best there is in South Florida. I'm pretty sure. read more

Ok, well we just got back from Austin and got to visit all the top BBQ spots. I also make BBQ a lot at the house. I'll say the best thing that we had was the brisket. I would give it a 6.5/10. The ribs were inedible. Not only were they tough and not even tender but They tasted like they were bathed in lighter fluid or propane. Didn't know any bbq place used lighter fluid. The burnt ends had a similar flavor though not as strong. The sweet tea wasn't even sweet. After eating at Franklins, La BBQ, KG, Coopers, ect. This place doesn't even rank in the same league. I was really hoping for a good local bbq place but this isn't it. read more

I've been going to Nev's very regularly since they opened, used to go atleast once a week - although admittedly it had been a while. Went back for the first time a week or so ago and went to order the chicken platter. The guy working at the meats section was very condescending and rude when he told me they don't have chicken and "he" took it off the menu almost a year ago. The way he spoke to me made me not even want to order anything at that point but I was there with my husband and kids who had already ordered so I went ahead. It sounds simple enough but the way he spoke to me simply wanting to order chicken like I'd done many times in the past makes me want to never go back there. Even my husband commented on his attitude later on. read more

It's not Texas barbecue or Kansas City, but it comes close. The burnt ends were good and the ribs were cooked just right. Kids meals were huge and the Mac and cheese was a hit. Good service and the ambiance is really nice. I dont think you'll find better barbecue here. read more

Just visited Nev's for lunch with my family. While this isn't my first time eating their brisket, it is the first time visiting the restaurant. To start, you can smell the bbq from the parking lot. The dining area is clean & the staff is friendly. They had a prime rib special but we opted for the brisket. The prime rib looked delicious but we came for the brisket. My husband and I shared brisket, mac n cheese, and Cole slaw. Delicious. The brisket was juicy and mostly tender. Always get the moist brisket. The Cole slaw is not too sweet and not too vinegary. Good mac n cheese. My daughter really loved it. My oldest daughter enjoyed her corn dog and French fries. If the food and staff weren't enough to make me want to come back, they had a separate room with a changing table and chair that could be used for nursing. How many restaurants have that?!? Good on them for being so accommodating! read more

To start off, the service was fantastic. Was greeted with 3 smiles and a nice guy explaining the menu, as well as the specials for the night. They gave me a sample of their 16+ hour smoked brisket and it was delicious and juicy. I ordered the pulled pork platter (comes with cornbread) with coleslaw & Mac and cheese. Everything was prepared, weighed and plated in front of me (think chipotle but bbq & FRESH!) The girl at check out explained the bbq sauces to me so I knew which to expect, which was a nice touch. The layout of the restaurant was nice, with bbq sauces and paper towels on every table, they give the people what they want lol. The food was fantastic!! We grabbed a seat outside on a Friday and were able to enjoy the best bbq I've had in Florida in a longggg time. Will definitely return, fantastic spot! read more

But baby I'm from Texas and one thing we know is good Q! I love a good brisket and was missing home so I stopped here for lunch. Ordered the brisket, black pepper sausage, baked beans, cornbread...Lawd $26 before tax hurt! Meat is by weight in 1/3 increments, add a side and drink is $5-6 more. The meat was pretty good, I was pleasantly surprised. Texas good errrr nah but it's up there. Dude cut my brisket way too thick but otherwise had an almost acceptable level of moist/lean. The baked beans were entirely too darn sweet but had brisket in them. The second time I ate NEVS was a corporate sponsored group order so I got to taste more sides. The mac & cheese was barely ok but the "cole slaw" was diabolical. I couldn't do it! No ma'am!!! The brisket and sausage were consistent. Service was pretty friendly when I dined inside. I was intending to return for the ribs which are only served Saturdays. I've found a closer spot that has great ribs but don't serve brisket so I'm likely to return. Just them sides.... read more

The atmosphere was really nice, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and the food was great. All of the sides were tasty but had a slight twist to them, so if you only enjoy classics, might want to skip them. My favorite was the brisket (it's a must-try in my opinion), and the MVP was weirdly the bun. It was super soft and chewy but flavor-wise was reminiscent of a biscuit. Brandon the manager was a standout in terms of the staff, and he really helped us with our order as first timers. Can't wait to go back! read more

Caught this place while watching one of the food channels reviews . Since location was south Florida , I had to try it . Wow, food is really good and service was excellent . Love BbQ chicken and brisket, tri tip , pull pork and ribs . I will say , their menu is limited but there's plenty on the menu to choose from . Best brisket I ever had . Thick slices but so tender . Also had pull pork , excellent . Sides, had corn bread , nice and soft , creamy coleslaw . There ribs is only on Saturday . I'll have to come back on Saturday . Just really good food and large portions . I went on a rainy Tuesday eve , and just saying , not a big place , so not sure how crowded. This place can be , but was told on Saturday , if you want ribs , come early . Food was great , place is clean , in a nice shopping plaza , plenty of parking . Only thing missing for Bbq , was maybe tri tip and beans . Who cares though , plenty of other stuff . They also have Texas chili . Not sure what was in it beside good tasting meats , hardy spicy flavor , no beans . Only cost 5 bucks . That's a good price for chilli . read more

Discovered this place yesterday, I'm up in Palm Beach Gardens working ,great smell when you walked in ,lot to choose from. I like the idea everything is right behind glass in the open so you could see what you're getting. Staff couldn't be more friendly. Pickles are excellent potato salad looked a little different but I had to try it. It was very good mac & cheese right on point brisket was perfectly cooked. Not so crazy about the barbecue sauces. They had a lot of vinegar taste, but it's definitely worth a stop. I'd go there again for sure. read more
