    Not your mom's iced tea
    Rachael C.

    We went on quiet Monday night. The staff was very friendly and we were helped right away. We started with drinks. I ordered a not your mom's sweet tea. I found it very refreshing and I liked that it had a hint of peach. For food I order the 1/2 chicken and gravy. The chicken had a nice smokiness to it and I really enjoyed their jack Daniel's sauce and the Carolina sauce. The gravy I found to be very lacking. It was suppose to be a gravy infused with bbq sauce and it just tasted like gravy from a mix. I think next time I would have just gotten the pulled chicken and skipped the gravy. The sides we went were the seasoned dippers and cheesy grits. My southern boyfriend approved of the grits which I'd say was a pretty good compliment. The dippers had great potential but they just didn't taste fresh. I felt that way about a couple of the items. They were good but just didn't seem hot and fresh. I almost wonder if it was because it was a slow night? I would definitely give them a try again.

    Brisket, fries, gritz, Texas toast
    Matt P.

    The brisket was delicious. It has a great smoke flavor and was so juicy. The fries had a great flavor with a crunch outside and soft inside. Cheese gritz were very cheesy just how I like them. Texas toast was super buttery and had a nice crunch. I tried my wife's pulled pork and it was a little dry. Slathered some of their Jack Daniels sauce on it to fix that. Only real complaint is the flies. I had to constantly sweat them while I was eating. There were about four constantly coming by. Maybe hang some fly strips out at night to catch them.

    Inside restaurant
    Marci N.

    Super cute inside , staff was really nice. Greeted and sat immediately . They have St Louis ribs no baby backs. Mashed potatoes are there specialty and you can get the loaded with bacon and cheese. Great place for families .Lots of TVs with sports so it's like a sports bar without all the noise. Country music is softly playing while you dine. Tables have barbecue sauces you can try on your meal. Lots of paper towels for messy eaters because ribs are never neat. My ribs were great, loved the baked beans with brisket, the Texas toast was delicious. The mashed potatoes were a little dry. Our server Brendan was very attentive. Got to say this was a win for me. I would also have to say Brendan was probably the most polite server I have ever had . Definitely will go back when in Naples based on my first experience here.

    Restaurant decor

    Place was decent. Great lunch special pricing. Service was good. Not a huge barbecue person. Fries were excellent - fried slices of potato with salt and pepper. I had the taco special for $6. One pulled pork, one brisket, and one pulled chicken. It was ok. Not the best I've ever had. It was ok. Others in my party loved it. You decide.

    All empty bottles
    Amy H.

    We did NOT have a good experience here. We first went inside where there was a sign that said to seat yourself and the girl told us they would bring us menus. Well after sitting outside for 5 minutes no one came. I went inside again and asked for menus and a guy said it was a full service restaurant and he was sorry he didn't see us sitting outside. We ordered and when our food arrived it looked very skimpy. The sandwich was supposed to come with coleslaw and onion strings, both on top of the sandwich. It had less than a tablespoon of coleslaw on it and 3 little onion straws. I had ordered the fries as a side and they were forgotten. Another order was the quesadilla and it was supposed to come with sour cream, which it did not. We asked for a second empty plate so we could share items and they brought us a dirty plate!!! I mean, do you not even look at the only thing in your hand when walking out?! We searched outside at one of the 12 outdoor tables for some bbq sauce bottles that had any sauce in it and weren't dirty. But of all the bottles on the tabletops outside, they were all practically empty and all were dirty with flies all over them (see photo). While people stood around inside you would think they would be cleaning and refilling those sauce bottles. We never were offered drink refills either. We will not be returned to this restaurant.

    Bbq quesadilla and the smallest side of mashed potatoes ever
    Adam A.

    Cool place with great outside seating but the food wasn't all that great and was frankly rather pricey. $5 for a tiny side of garlic mashed potatoes? Very disappointing.

    All sauces.

    Off the Bone is somewhat new to the Naples area. They serve all the usual items for a BBQ place. The place was not busy when we came in (during a heavy rain storm). We were seated promptly and the server gave us menus and took our drink order. I knew what I wanted but Mrs. K. was just not so sure. She went with pulled pork. I went with the St. Louis style ribs. Mrs. K. enjoyed the sandwich and had to take a lot of it home it was so filling. I am from St. Louis, does this make me a St. Louis Style rib expert. Well yes it does. It was the only rib I ever ate until the current baby back rib craze started. I like my ribs served with the sauce cooked in. I am in a minority on this point. I tried all the sauces that were available. I did not enjoy nor like any sauce that was served. The dry rub they use was not heavy on the cumin which really was a very positive thing. Cumin can dominate a dry rub and a lot of places put too much. I ordered as a side the potato salad and since you get two sides I ordered a second potato salad. I really had no room for either as the ribs filled me up. I would be happy to come back again.

    Bread pudding A MUST
    Tiffany D.

    Stopped here for father's day because my husband loves barbecue!!! I ordered the sampler because I love to try everything. It had brisket, chicken, pulled pork and ribs. I also got brussel sprouts and Mac and cheese. The meat came out lukewarm so I took away a star. Everything was good. We ordered the bread pudding which was buttery, decadent, and warm. The other issue that it was full of flies. Both issues can be easily fixed and this could be five stars!

    Smoked Half Chicken
    Brad V.

    This place is great. Ribs - 4.5 Chicken - 4.5 Brisket - 5.0 Service is good but they need more help

    LOOK AT HOW SUPER CRACKED AND DRY THE MEAT IS!!! I still can't believe they served this crap to us!
    Ana B.

    Do yourselves a favor, save your money and time and avoid this place. I decided to play a game of Russian Roulette and try this place out without reading the reviews, and I lost $40 down the drain doing it. The reason I'm giving it two stars, is because the two girls that waited on us today July 28, 2021 at 2pm we're actually nice and tried to be accommodating. Whom ever is cooking in the back however, is doing a horrific job. The dry rub they're using is more like a VERY DRY char burned charcoal rub. I ordered a full rack with the pulled pork. I promise you I'm not exaggerating, our waitress even noticed it...the Meat on the ribs were so dry I couldn't even chew or swallow it. (Please look at the pictures attached) The mac & cheese was also super dry and mushy. What I did eat, got my stomach sick. It's no wonder they were only two other tables with people when we got there. The strip mall it's located at was super busy but this restaurant was empty. Now I know why. The name of the restaurant should be changed to Super Dry Char Burnt Ribs instead. They were definitely not fall off the bone at all!!! As a matter of fact my throat is still irritated from trying to swallow it. That's how dry it was! If this restaurant continues in this way, I don't foresee it staying in business that much longer. We most definitely will not ever go back. Hope that $40 they took from us goes a long way for them.

    Half rack pork ribs. Crispy Brussel sprouts, baked beans, corn muffin.
    Barb R.

    We are picky barbecue people from Kansas City. This place us spot on! We had a nice chat at the end if our meal with the chef manager. He was receptive to just a few simple tweaks and is passionate about his products and service. He also got to all or most of the tables and engaged in conversation wanting genuine feedback. We ordered in rableside service and all was fine there. Everything was excellent. The ribs I'm still dreaming about a few days later. The BEST rub ever! Smokevwas just right and that rub! Who needs sauce? I'm a sauce girl and needed none really. But did try 3 of the 4. Don't bother with Jack Daniel's it was like BBQ syrup. But Texas and Honey bbq were excellent. The Texas a bit spicy but I'd say mild. The honey BBQ sauce a perfect blend of sweet and smoke. Brisket was excellent. My hubs loved it. There was a spice in the rub I didn't care for but smoked to perfection. Maybe thyme... we neither one like much thyme if any on anything. Sides were plentiful and good portions. Fries were blah. We like fresh cut think Pinchers, Texas Tony's or Five Guys). The only disappointment. The bread was too soaked w garlic butter but that's am easy fix. Just tell them light on garlic butter. The Brussel sprouts were excellent cooked just the way I like it. Crispy edges just right texture inside not mush but not raw. Baked beans are the best in the area. Not to thick or thin not to bbq saucy. But smoked meat chunks and just sweet enough. Mac and cheese my hubs said was a bit smokey and all the creamy cheese you'd expect from a great dining venue. Corn muffins are really nice as well. We liked drink selections although we r coke ppl (they offer Pepsi products). We usually drink iced tea which was excellent. Not crap from a soda fountain or mix! Did I say how good the ribs were? PS only needed half rack they were very meaty! Dessert looked awesome but didn't indulge. All we can say is this is THE BEST BBQ in SWFL! HANDS UP doing a happy dance!

    Ribs and Steak with grits and a side salad. Yum!
    Erik K.

    Stumbled across this place in Jan 2021 while waiting for a reservation at a nearby restaurant and decided that this was far better. The ribs are simply astounding. Texture, flavor, size, quality ... all top notch. Returned with family a few weeks later and brother-in-law couldn't stop raving about the ribs. Also loved the cornbread, the grits, and the brussel sprouts, which are fantastic as well. The wait staff were extremely accommodating, helping us move to a table in front of a heat lamp and checking in on us regularly with a very friendly attitude. The owner also came out to check on our satisfaction and we shared how happy we were with him.

    Food is ok. Unless you can get a booth chairs just too uncomfortable to sit in. Not a place I would rush to. Ribs dried out.

    Very delicious bbq and I was surprised it was a chain because it tasted as good as any BBQ…read morerestaurant I've been to. Pete and I shared a 3 meat combo with collards and beans. The beans were great. We also got a kids meal Mac and cheese that came with a side and drink. It was a great value. Service was really excellent - kind and helpful with great recs. The girl was very patient with us while we changed our mind several times because we wanted everything. I love the chill vibe - lots of BBQ sauces to choose from, lively music and free soda and iced tea refills.

    I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars! One of the absolute best dining experiences we…read morehave had and a lot of that credit goes to Crystal and Everyone at Team Naples location. We arrived just after noon on a Friday (June 12, 2026) First walking in, we were greeted with that smoky campfire smell that lets you know that this place is serving the real deal! As we waited in line, a staff member came out and offered us free Ham samples to try and it was melt in your mouth delicious! We went up to place our order and the clerk was friendly and helpful. They take your name and have a seat at your booth. While waiting we loved the patriotic decor and the smokehouse atmosphere. Once they called my name I went up to collect my order and they checked with me to make sure everything was correct and were super friendly. The food was spot on real BBQ! Not some reheated dried out, no smoke jerky. The pulled pork was fresh, moist and tasted perfect. The Smoked Cheeseburger was right on point. It tasted just like the ones I smoke myself. Plus they have delicious sauces to try as well. My fav was the Texas Twang, but it was a close tie to the Blue Ridge Smoky Mountain. The fries are fresh and taste great, and the smoked mac and cheese was awesome! While we were eating, Crystal came by and offered some Freedom Fries but unfortunately we had to tell her we were stuffed. A few minutes later she came back and gave us a full size chocolate brownie to go, along with a return visit card that gets you free items each time you come back (free side, free sandwich, free meat market). Fantastic service from start to finish! We felt so welcomed from the minute we walked in all the way to being told thanks for coming in as we walked out. This was a excellent dining experience, expecially for a place that is just a walk in, faster food, BBQ spot. I honestly can't remember when I felt I had such a good value for the money, and better service anywhere. This is the only Mission BBQ we have ever visited at this time but I sure hope they all have such an incredible staff, because while the food was fantastic, the service was top level and should be commended.
