We have had this place on our bucket list to try and decided to hit it up after leaving the disappointing Strawberry Festival, wanting to spend our monies locally. This restaurant is pretty cool and there were plenty of people already indulging, so our hopes were high. Three of us ordered the chopped brisket plate, with x2 sides. The menus listed the cost at $17.49 which seemed reasonable. We ordered a few appetizers, some drinks and a plate for the kids (who ate at the festival) to split. They were very short staffed with only two people working the floor, one of which was the overworked (as far as we were concerned) bartender who took our order at a table. The bartender did her bartending and the drinks were very good. However, whoever was working the kitchen did a subpar job; and the bill was fouled up. My brisket plate included sides of onion rings and fried okra, along with cornbread. I personally was not happy with my selections, taste-wise. The brisket was fairly flavorless and seemed "old" to me. The onion slices within the rings were watery, albeit the rings themselves were firm (not much flavor however). The okra, again, did not have much flavor to them and I failed to finish them. The cornbread was nothing special either. The others felt their food selections were "okay", but this is my review and I disagreed with them - it could've (should've) been better. Upon getting the bill we discovered that we were charged $20.49 for those advertised $17.49 plates. There also was an added 'Florida Tea' cocktail that was not only not delivered, but never ordered. I recommend you check your bills thoroughly before paying. This may have been an anomaly, but maybe not. As for me personally I won't choose to return here anytime soon, unless I am outvoted by the company I keep. read more

Overall pretty good I'd say...The place was clean...Friendly workers....Had classic rock playing for music...I got a double smash burger....I'm really not the biggest smash burger guy as I prefer just regular ole fat burgers,lol, but this was pretty good...You can afford what you want to their burgers...Burger basket comes with shoe string fries which were good too. I'd give them 5 stars but the ingredients in their BBQ sauces were not the cleaners ("natural flavors" being one)....That being said the Raspberry Chipotle sauce was my favorite and I put that on my burger....Also, for the mayo freaks out there all they have is Kraft...Yuck ! read more

Food has always been amazing every time we've came, very family friendly and overall amazing atmosphere. Service is how you would expect it to be. I understand it's small business but prices can sometimes be a little steep. read more

I'm sorry, but there is much better bbq out there and the price here is outrageous. We needed to eat and this was convenient. Slightly worried when there were hardly any cars there on a Tuesday, but it was mid week. Now I understand. The pulled pork was sloppy wet with juice to the point that the bread fell apart. This wasn't sauce, it's kept moist in a hotel pan in the back and I could find no bark or even a smoke ring. When I mentioned that to the host, she said "yeah, probably not on the pork." The brisket didn't fare much better as it was on the dry side, but enough sauce sort of saved it. Blissfully forgettable. Will not return. read more

Polk County Burger Week adventure day two! This time the Aus you serious burger! The smash burger was sooooo good! Juicy, good sized and fresh, however the dipping sauce actually made it loose flavor. Like burger with out dipping sauce 9/10, with sauce like a 5. The onion rings were delish! They may have been a little undercooked, but the flavor was there! The cashier was a little rude and rushed you, but the owner walked around and was super friendly. The concept of the establishment was a little weird and funeral home type, but I guess it turns into a bar at night and they cater events? One thing that was SUPER amazing was their dipping bbq sauces... chefs kiss. Will we be back? Probably not, but I'm glad we tried it! Ohhhh and cash only unless you want a credit card service charge! read more

Stopped in on a whim because everything else in the area that sounded good was already closed on a Friday night... and we were pleasantly surprised. Parking is a little tight so we thought it might be difficult to find a table but there's a good bit of seating on the inside. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable, too. The food was good! My friend had the rib basket with macaroni and cheese. Ribs were decent, but the mac fell flat. We shared an order of fried pickles which were tasty! Nothing extraordinary, but they were good! I had the bourbon chicken because I'm a sucker for some good bourbon chicken. Typically, it comes with lo mein or rice. They'd run out of both that day so I was able to sub for a side. Listen, that chicken is good stuff! The owner (I believe) was super apologetic about not having the noodles but hey, I got a big bowl of nothing but bourbon chicken and a little tub of YumYum sauce... that is just A-ok in my book! Really good stuff. Cute little place! We'd visit again! read more

This is all of their sauces that they have and let me tell you what there's some amazing sauces in here sweet ones surprisingly that are very good there's a strawberry and a raspberry that's very good. We also got the bacon wrapped meatballs very good and the brisket mac and cheese egg roll. The place inside is very unusual for a barbecue place... Very nice and comfortable chairs tables and booths. They don't have your standard waitresses however you go up to order and they will bring it to you and anything else you need. Looks like you can take some of those sauces home with you too if you like. I know one thing we will definitely be back. read more

Great bbq, great egg rolls, great sauce, great menu, great people. Come hungry, leave stuffed. I've enjoyed the pulled pork, the brisket (and as egg rolls) the pizza egg rolls, the yummy fried banana peppers and some fun sauces. read more

Best BBQ hands down, and that's from someone coming from Texas. Ribs are fall of the bone, with some of the best homemade sauces you'll ever try. The owner and staff are very welcoming, and didn't hesitate to point you in the right direction what to order off the menu. Place is also equipped with a full bar, hands down the best BBQ place you will find in the area. Can't wait to come back and try the brisket, and the peach cobbler egg rolls. read more

The Brack Shack - Ribs, Mac and cheese, bacon wrapped meat ball and sweet tea. - Barbeque Near Me - Auburndale, Florida

First visit..... The atmosphere is great and the people are very friendly. The food, the pulled pork egg rolls were great! The fried green tomatoes weren't true fried green tomatoes and were soggy. The were red inside and extremely soggy. The double smash burger my husband ordered was over salted to the point he said that was all he tasted and couldn't finish it. He did like the beans. We asked about the food and the woman was pleasant and said she could see the tomatoes were soggy and gave us a piece of peach cobbler to bring home. And also said she agreed about the salt in the burger because last time she ate one, it was really salty too. We will be back to try it again as she told us it isn't always like that. read more

Great menu, cold beer, full bar, very friendly service! We had a smash burger and bourbon smash chicken. Both were good. My sweet potato fries came with a fluffy dipping "sauce" which should be illegal! Next trip I'm getting the Nachos which comes with brisket, chicken or pork. Bonus- the bar stools are comfy! read more

Great food selection and we we enjoyed the atmosphere is well. If you are in area, you need to check it out. Fast service as well.

Service was good. Food was yuck. Egg rolls burnt on one side. Mac n cheese/ brisket egg roll was meh. Alfredo egg roll was very dry. Fried green tomatoes seemed to need a little more flavoring or something. My friend wasn't impressed with his meal either. But I forgot what he got. Environment was average compared to other places like this. Was clean inside tho. read more

We are locals in Auburndale but had never been. We will definitely be back ! We were given the best service by Amanda!! She suggested their burgers and ribs, bake beans, okra and onion rings. She took the time to answer our questions with thought and consideration. Our smash burger was one of the best I have ever tasted and the ribs didn't even need sauce. The okra and baked beans were both delicious and not overpowering as far as seasoning goes. Their sweet tea is fresh brewed too. We are going to take family there this weekend for live music. If you are on the fence about this one, don't be...its delicious and affordable. Ask for Amanda! read more

We are a bunch of RVers who came here at the last minute with a LARGE GROUP after finishing up the season 2 taping of RV Unplugged at Camp Margaritaville Auburndale. The owner and staff went above and beyond to accommodate our modest group of 23 people. The ambiance was awesome with the great music being played from the Jukebox. We were able to sing, laugh, enjoy great food and share some lasting memories without fear of being too loud. I had the Bracksroom & Swiss burger which was amazing. The burger was cooked exactly the way I liked it! We will be back when in the area! Highly recommend! read more

Flavors are bland on all the food. Pricing is so so and the bar area has the usual at it most the time.

The food was outstanding! We had 2 pulled pork sandwiches tater tots, onion rings and coleslaw. Everything tasted great and fresh. A little pricy like the small coleslaw was over $4 We will definitely be returning to try so many of the other items on the menu that look great! read more

These BBQ egg rolls are FIRE! I don't care that my hubby said his burger had to be better, my brisket & Mac n cheese was amazing, and the pulled pork - that I added strawberry habanero sauce to - was one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth! AND it seemed like they'd be great if I ever had to drive while eating, nice and easy to hold and munch on. But that's not all - the sides were over-the-top delicious too! Sweet potato fries came with a marshmallow dip - so good! - and the fried okra was the perfect blend of crunchy, salty, and gooey! Lol I don't think you'll regret ANYTHING you order from here! read more

Bracken and his team do a great job at the shack. From delicious pulled pork egg rolls to candied St. Louis style ribs, you won't leave hungry!

Friendly service, great food. Different choices, and great staff. It was a good place to grab lunch.

I don't know who told them they can make an egg roll, but, someone needs to tell them to stop. Dry pulled pork and a disgusting egg roll... the best thing about the meal was the marshmallow fluff topping for the sweet potatoes. read more

I had the bourbon, chicken and fried rice. It was terrible. I've had it there twice before and it was fine. Don't understand what they put in the fried rice whether it was tofu or pieces of sponge, but it was covered with a spongy material. The chicken was overcooked and dried out, won't be going back Too bad. I had such good experiences in the past. read more

The eggrolls were pretty good the Mac and cheese not so much and they give you lots off fries. They also had live music when we went that was nice. read more

Everytime I've been to The Brack Shack the food and service is consistently good.

Food was okay. Dry and no flavor. had the mac and cheese it tasted spoiled had to throw it out. After trying to enjoy my meal, I become very nauseous. I may try to give another chance in the future but for now I am holding off. read more

Good food at a fair price. Plenty of parking. Interesting menu. Recently started being open on Saturday evening.

The food is great and service is fast. I love the BBQ but the egg rolls is where it's at they have many different flavors

Found this place on YELP and glad we stopped.The food was excellent and the staff was exceptional, so friendly! I ordered the pulled pork egg rolls because a customer who was waiting for a take out order said they were delicious, & even though I am not a big fan of egg rolls they were amazing and would order them again. We will definitely be coming here again! read more

The smash burgers are excellent. BBQ Brisket is top notch. This is a real old Florida BBQ experience.
