This place is dangerous- amazing flavor, fun venue, big portions, and incredibly nice service. I was planning on going to the Peruvian food truck and my wife asked for burnt ends (pork belly). I snuck a bite and about fell over because it tasted so good. It had the perfect combination of sweet and savory. Needless to say I also ordered pork belly, with baked beans and Mac and cheese. The beans had the perfect amount of spiciness and Mac and cheese was rich with bacon. The portions lasted over 2 meals. I will DEFINITELY be back soon. The venue that hosts the food trucks is worth noting - there is covered restaurant style seating, clean bathrooms, a bar, deli, ice cream shop, and several other great food trucks. Also plenty of parking. read more

Looks like it's permanently closed. Directions took us to Sals Cafe. Bummer seeing as the food looks great. Didn't notice the food truck designation until much later. read more

Why has it taken me so long to find this bbq? Well now that I've found them I'm a huge fan!! Absolutely delicious and moist, and perfectly seasoned turkey breast! The ribs were very tender with a lil bit of a pull off the bone - ribs done right. Nice smoke ring and seasoned without over salting. Great balance. Ate them with any bbq sauce. The bacon and mac & cheese had me wanting more . The coleslaw slaw is not traditional but was good. 2 weeks later I went back and was lucky enough to get the chicken salad....YUMMY!! I understand why it's a best seller. Definitely a repeat order for me. read more

Love what these guys are doing! So sad that they decided to go back on the road as we will miss those burnt ends when the hunger hits. Hope to find them back in the Navarre area on a frequent basis. Good luck guys! Come back soon! read more

Ok I came back and they were fully stocked with Q. Last review was 4 stars and I said it could easily change when I had a chance to try other items. If you want some proper Q made with passion for smoke, this is your spot. Get here and support these guys for putting in the work and skill.. what they do ain't easy. read more

WOWOWOW!! Meat Candy is the perfect name for this place. The Maple Bourbon Burnt Ends absolutely delivered that sweet, smoky, melt in your mouth experience you dream about. The brisket was maybe some of the best I've had. Their white sauce is special too. We enjoyed everything we ordered and had plenty to take home. On top of that, these dudes are kind, thoughtful and definitely take pride in their craft. They took great care of us. Even with the food truck outside, we appreciated that we could enjoy their indoor seating, which had a bar. We're so grateful that our area finally has some seriously craveable BBQ. read more

Went there with family, kind and talkative staff greeted us and we conversed. The food was done in no more than 10 minutes and it was definitely smoked; smelt nice and was flavorful. They had their own unique take on either the beans or the pulled pork ( I forgot ) and I wasn't mad. Really I recommend anything, all is well. read more

The best bar-b-cue I've had outside of Texas and better than some I've had in Texas!!

It's a little food truck w the signage facing inwards so it was hard to find. Totally worth it! Ribs are dry rubbed then glazed, brisket and burnt ends are really like meat candy, sweet, crisp and utterly addictive! Bacon Mac is a meal unto itself and beans have a sweet kick to them too! Come early they sell out quick even with their ginormous smoker out back! Guys are fun friendly and so welcoming. Would definitely return and recommend read more

Amazing bbq!! Came from Los Angeles to visit family and this was the first stop on the list. Brisket is incredibly tender, and the Maple Pork Belly burnt bits is so flavorful. Not to mention, the customer service was very so memorable. The chef came to the window to introduce himself because didn't recognize amongst the locals, and thanked us for stopping by. We highly recommend for anyone in the area! read more

After living in Texas for 40 years, we moved to Gulf Breeze, Florida and the past few years have been rough trying to find a place that has good BBQ. I'm pleased to say the search is over! I had the chopped brisket sandwich and coleslaw for lunch today and it was delicious! The brisket was tender and moist (yeah, I said it lol). The coleslaw had cilantro in it and was a nice addition. read more

I've been here twice now, and coming from Texas, I hold BBQ to a high standard. The brisket here is outstanding, and the burnt ends are unbelievably good. The turkey is the best I've ever had. The mac and cheese is rich and creamy, just perfect. The team is friendly and enthusiastic about their food. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Very good food, and staff/owner super nice. I enjoyed all the food they have. My only recommendation would be a house/special bbq sauce. All they had was sweet baby rays bbq sauce which I'm not a fan of. But otherwise I would return in future read more

Best BBQ! Burnt ends! Succulent is the word. Food truck style but sit down inside ac. Bar and TV screens too!

BOOM!!!! First and foremost, hats off to the two guys knocking this awesome food out! You're killing it guys. After having a taste of each of the meats (pulled chicken, maple bacon pork belly, pulled pork, and brisket) I'll say it's all good. Chicken is seasoned well, moist and tender. Pulled pork is moist, good texture, and smokey. Personally, I prefer a little more seasoning on the butt....but overall, good. Now, here's where the problems start!!! The pork belly and brisket are SO FREAKING GOOD you're gonna want both!!! The pork belly has an amazing glaze and crispy outside but still has a good moist texture inside. Then the brisket! HALE TO THE BRISKET!!! I've eaten brisket from awesome BBQ restaurants and I've cooked probably 600 pounds myself. This is hands down the most flavorful and perfectly cooked brisket I've EVER eaten!!! THIS PLACE IS A MUST TRY!!! WTG GUYS!!! read more

Be sure to try the Meat Candy food truck food! Great food and service from Ryan Hayes!

Let me tell yall, this is some of the best barbecue you'll probably get in the Florida Panhandle. Not a bad item on the menu, and I know that for a fact because we got a little bit of everything. The guys that run the truck are super nice, very patient, and they get you your food QUICK. Will definitely be back, especially because this place is within walking distance of the house read more

Best ribs I've had in the panhandle. Neat food truck concept where you can eat in A/C with a bar.

The food is amazing! Loved the beans and bbq pork! The sausage was great also. I can't wait to try the ribs.

Absolutely in love with this place, as are so many other fans as indicated by Meat Candy selling out of their meat all the time. Pulled pork is great but the burnt ends are amazing. Or as described by my husband, "When God eats BBQ, this is the BBQ He eats." read more

Wow, heard this place was good and they lived up to their reputation. Had the best most tender fall off the bone ribs ever.

The food was AMAZING! From our whole entire vacation this was the BEST meal of we had. The brisket is so juicy & the ribs fall right off the bone! 10/10 !! The customer service was off the charts, so welcoming and friendly. We ordered a little bit of every meat and there wasn't a single complaint with any of it!! The beans are sweet with a little kick at the end, the burnt ends are sweet and juicy! I don't usually post reviews about any food place but this one earned the gold star!! read more

Excellent barbeque at a good price. Had the brisket Sandwich, pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, and bacon Mac and cheese.

This bbq is AMAZING! We love the pulled pork and the coleslaw is bomb. Great location & the nicest guys running it. It's a weekly stop for us. It's so good there are never any leftovers! read more

Just had the pulled pork sandwich as my first meal from Meat Candy today and it was EXCELLENT. I am usually big on using a lot of sauce but the meat had such a juicy, smoked consistency that it was delicious all by itself. Their barbecue sauce was just an added treat. And portions are more than generous. Can't wait to work my way through the menu! read more

Best barbecue since I left Memphis. The barbecue capital of USA. Absolutely delicious.

Just crushed some of the best burnt ends in the biz. If you haven't tried these guys, do yourself a favor and check them out!!!

super good food, low staff so the food took a while but that is to be expected with bbq
