Food was great, very few places have authentic bbq. This one is a must visit! Will return before the end of our work trip.

Nestled in the heart of Deland, Porkies BBQ exudes southern charm and serves up some of the most mouthwatering barbecue delights in the Sunshine State. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with the aroma of slow-cooked meats and a cozy atmosphere. The ambiance at Porkies BBQ is as inviting as a backyard cookout with friends. With its rustic decor and cozy seating, it's the perfect spot to unwind and indulge in hearty comfort food. Whether you're dining solo, with family, or with a group of friends, you'll feel right at home at Porkies. While Porkies BBQ boasts many barbecue options, I found that the meat was mostly fatty and lacked the savory flavor I was hoping for. Although the menu offers classic choices like ribs, chicken, Turkey, Burgers, Briskets, and more, they fell short of my expectations in terms of taste and tenderness, the same goes with the mac-n-cheese--sad to say. However, I'm open to the possibility that it might have been an off day in the kitchen as I found myself to be the only patron in the restaurant, which added an unexpected element to the dining experience. This will not derail me. Therefore, I will go back again to ensure it was that one-off-day-maybe? Let see!

Great little place Good fast service Lots of choice and daily specials Many sauce options Sweet Tea was amazing Price very decent (many combo meals) Cornbread was fantastic (would have been better if it was warmed) Wish there was a place like this closer to us! We will return

Great little BBQ place with lots of atmosphere. Order at the window and they bring it out. Server was kind and friendly. The garlic bread and corn muffins are delicious. The ribs were also very good. The Mac and cheese was not warm and a bit too creamy. The dirty potatoes were different, I couldn't decide if I loved them or didn't like them. I would probably try different sides if I get back there. But I definitely would love to go back. They serve Pepsi products. There are a few tables outside.

Excellently surprised and disappointed in myself for not visiting sooner. Was my mistake for thinking they were somehow related to Porkie's in Apopka but I was wrong. Firstly, I really enjoyed the brisket sandwich. Wasn't as smoked as I would have liked but was of prodigious portion and deliciously tender. All the sauces are fantastic. I Loved them all and that's not usually the case. Somebody's definitely on my flavor wavelength there Solid sides. Those dirty taters and sweet mashed were yummnnn. As was the sweet tea. Something special about good sweet tea. Everyone was friendly and nice. Very hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the food. Deelicious!

The brisket and ribs combo was very good. The side of dirty potatoes was a tasty variation. The service was good and all around good value for a tasty lunch after a bike ride.

Perhaps the most clever play on words a BBQ restaurant could think of as a "catch phrase" above the door of their business

BBQ places are everywhere these days but Porkies was the 1st I visited after moving from SC to FL last August. I am absolutely wild for their ribs. And as for ambiance, well the signage above the door is insanely hilarious as it reads: "You can smell our butts a mile away." Clever! I love their Dirty Taters also. The staff are always friendly so service with a smile is standard there.

Not the classiest place in Deland yet they do serious justice to the flavors of BBQ, with their personal touch of sweet. Best sweet I've had locally : upvote to the flavors of Southetn BBQ. Bless. They brought my order to the car!! Totally unexpected.

This restaurant catered our wild wild west charity event last Saturday. I took pulled pork and…read morechicken with macaroni and cheese and potato salad as sides. The meats were tender enough for catered food. The pork could have been pulled more as there was a chunk of meat that was hard to cut. The chicken was better and more flavorful. I tried the smokey BBQ and mustard sauces, and I liked the smokey one better even though it wasn't that spicy. The mustard sauce tasted a bit weird. The mac and cheese reminded me of the instant version, but it was still passable. The potato salad was more enjoyable with nice chunks of potatoes in the mayonnaise and seasonings. I also enjoyed the ice tea as it was refreshing before taking a turn on the mechanical bull at the event. The service was friendly as they filled our plates with the food, and even took out the plates when done. Since this was at a venue, I can't comment the inside of the restaurant. I really need to thank Sonny's for catering the event. While the food is above average, the service was really good and the food was filling. I will definitely give them a visit at the restaurant whenever I am in the DeLand area again Overall: B

We had no idea this was a chain - but it sure hit all the marks of a chain restaurant…read more As for ambience, the ere was very little. Felt like a sterile cafeteria. Service was good. I did like our server! She was attentive and timely. As for the food - the appetizer was outta site! Fries with pork and a cream sauce atop - super delicious. It ended there. The bbq itself was dry. The presentation is seriously lacking. The amount of food was also not what you expect from BBQ. We had high expectations, not knowing it was a chain. We will not be back.
