    I discovered this place from watching Katina Eats Kilos and I absolutely HAD to try that brisket. I'm glad we made it there because it was hands down best brisket I've ever had. I also very much enjoyed the ribs. The mac and cheese was dry and underseasoned, and the potato salad was very good, but it tasted like Publix brand. The service was soso, the staff seemed easily bothered. Lastly, I didn't enjoy the flies being around. I want to give it 3.5 stars, but since that's not allowed, I will bump it to a 4. It's definitely worth the side trip to Vero, but could use some adjustments.

    After eyeing this place for a while now! I am finally excited to actually stop by and try Pepper and Salt! The place was a bit small with not that much seating available, the noice was average, not too loud, and it was very clean. I got the pulled pork with a side of baked beans and a potato salad, while my father got the brisket accompanied by some mac and cheese and coleslaw. Both meats were very tender and juicy. And the sides were delicious! I will definitely return to try their smash burger!

    Oh my goodness this is the best bbq in town by far!!!! The brisket Philly is absolutely amazing. The beans can't be beat.

    This was my first visit with Pepper & Salt & not for lack of trying. I have arrived previously when they had run out of food & another time when they had limited their menu and the items I was interested in were no longer available. First off, the tiny paper menu posted to the left of the meat counter is strange for a first time visitor. I ordered a smash burger w/ side of mac and cheese, as well as a plate w/ "moist" brisket, baked beans and green beans. I was told to order my burger at the register, I did and was told they were unsure if they had beef. Another worker then approached the worker at the grill and said they had left over beef from yesterday.. this should have been my first red flag. The burger was the DRIEST smash burger I've ever had and had overall lack of flavor. There was a sauce on the burger however, it didn't make a noticeable difference. My son's brisket was fine. He had already dug into this green beans for me to notice they were collard greens. Turns out they were out of green beans but failed to mention that at the time of ordering. This worked out as they were the only thing we finished. As for the baked beans - I am actually a big fan of baked beans but these again didn't have as much flavor as I expected. Not bad but nothing special. Mac and cheese also was nothing special. Consistency of velveeta but spiral noodles. I had imagined they would have baked Mac and cheese as most BBQ joints. I wish they'd consider making the switch. I arrived before lunch rush and the tables were pretty sticky and had visible food scraps, it seems the staff just aren't on top of wiping them down in between patrons. I know this is a local favorite, but it's a skip for me.

    We hired Pepper and Salt BBQ for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! Heather was incredible during the planning process; she was so patient and answered every single one of my many questions. On the day of the wedding, they were professional, on time, and the service was flawless. Best of all, our guests wouldn't stop talking about how much they loved the food. Highly recommend!

    Just another 5 star review that Pepper and Salt absolutely earned! My husband and I came in for Friday lunch around 1:30... the place was hopping and the employees were working their behinds off to ensure everyone was taken care of efficiently. You get it line, read the menu that's mounted on the wall, and when it's your turn you order with their awesome folks at the counter. When ordering brisket they ask lean or moist, which is a fun touch. I went with the moist (the point) and the turkey on my two meat plate! We had selected our sides based on the menu, but we quickly had to pivot our choices when we learned they were sold out of everything except a couple of options! They're technically open until 7pm so to have run out of sides by 1:30 was a little sad. Make more sides- the demand is there and the people have spoken! LOL They served Jarritos soda bottles, Big Red, and multiple craft beer and hard seltzer options from the self-serve cooler. They also supposedly have amazing banana pudding... they were out of that too! Bottom line: this brisket is absolutely delicious, as is the turkey! Get there as earlier as you can for the most choices before they sell out. Don't miss Pepper and Salt! We'll be regulars now!

    So I search all over the country for good bbq and this is it. Absolutely the best ribs and pork belly I've had other than my own. Found out that the pit master is from Texas. Explains it all. This will be our go to when I get that craving for southern bbq.

    Excellent new coffee shop in vero right next to Pepper & Salt BBQ! Great breakfast menu, and excellent coffee! Thank you Will for the amazing customer service!

    So being a native Texan, I had to check this place out. It did not disappoint!! Their brisket was definitely on point!! We drove an hour to try it out and will most likely be back. Give it a try!

I don't super recall having one of their beers at the Stuart beer festival, so I was excited about 'retrying' it. First, the building is awesome. Read the history on it, but also hard to ignore the giant generator that the beer comes out of it....super cool visual. I like the vibe of the place overall, and the patio seemed really nice but since it was our first visit I wanted to take the inside 'all in', and glad we did. Ok..the beers.... Flight: 6 5 oz pours for $15. Reasonable enough.. We started here just to see what pint we each wanted: *Freedom Tourch Stout: I loved it. *Hazy IPA *Double Vision IPA: Really enjoyed it; just amped up the hazy a bit. *Hef: Decent (not a super fan of hef, but wanted to sample) *Lager: Decent, it's a lager: * Icon IPA I ended up with an Icon IPA as my pint, enjoyed! Ok..the food * We split 10 wings for $16. Naked with nashville hot and blue cheese on teh side. Really enjoyed, meaty. * We also split a burger..the fun guy (funghi). We upgraded to sweet potato fries. I thought it was delicious, and the swp instead of marshmallow fluff had a maybe sweet cream cheese dip (i don't care it was delicious!) :) Now they were out of a few beers that was my first pick (including the Saison) but I guess it was others picks too..hence why they were out! Definitely want to go back!
