    Food was good when my husband tried it. But unfortunately it appears this place has closed.

    My girlfriend and I came here with high hopes, however, the staff seemed lazy, the food was dry and…read morethe bread was hard, and not the biggest problem, but there were no fries, which is a thing you generally expect a barbecue establishment to keep on hand (especially since they just opened). There isn't BBQ sauce at the table, you have to request it, and none comes on the sandwich. The pulled pork tasted off and the brisket was exceedingly dry, and the beans have too much onion in them. The waitress we had was awkward, she was slow, and when we asked for something, she was at the bar talking with a coworker for 5 minutes before we got our item. We also didn't get any refills. Needless to say, we won't be coming back any time soon.

    I have given this place several tries. The first time was a couple years ago when it was called the…read moreAcropoli amd was located in Dundee. At the time, they specialized Italian food - pizzas, calzones, etc. Both the food and service then was okay, nothing special. One of the employees told us that they were getting ready to move and become a bbq joint. My husband and I thought this was strange. The next time we tried them was after they moved into the Eagle Ridge Mall in Lake Wales and had renamed themselves Brock's Smokehouse amd Acropoli. One of the managers (or owner) was outside and urging people to come in and check them out, so we did. The menu was an unusual combnation of Italian and bbq dishes. We decided to try the bbq and ordered brisket sandwiches, which neither of us were impressed with as the meat was too dry. Both of us agreed that this restaurant needed to make up it's mind as to whether it wants to be a great bbq joint or a great Italian restaurant instead of just a mediocre place trying to do both. This past week I was at the mall and decided to give them one more try as it was lunchtime and I was curious as to whether the food qualty had improved. Well, I never got the chance! There was a sign up front that said to seat yourself. A waitress came up to me and also told me to seat myself, so I did. And that was the end of it because I sat there for ten minutes and was ignored. No one ever brought me a menu or even acknowledged I was there. I picked up my bags and went to the food court instead. Never again! Visited February 2016

    It was our first visit in 10 years and now I'm wondering why. Dinner was AMAZING! We ordered the…read moreloaded smokehouse handheld with brisket. Perfectly cooked brisket, 2 huge yummy onion rings, juicy and crunchy coleslaw, and delicious pickles! I had the honey drizzled sweat potato fries, my sister had a garden salad. They have 3 different sauces to complement your meal (I tried all 3!) The only thing better than the food was the service. Izzy was our server and he was above and beyond the expectation. Attentive, knowledgeable and personable, definitely ask to be sat in his section for an excellent experience. Restaurant was well lit but soft and the floor was quiet enough to enjoy conversation. They do have a bar that seemed lively and fun and I saw advertisements for happy hour drinks and plates. Looking forward to going back soon. Prime Rib on Thursday nights seems to be calling my name.

    We accidentally ended up at Ovation Bistro thanks to our GPS choosing chaos... and honestly, I hope…read moreit continues to mislead me like this forever. The second we walked in, the smell hit me like, "Cancel your goals. You live here now." Smoky, delicious, slightly illegal levels of good. We were greeted and seated by a super nice guy who said, "Patrick will be right with you." Two minutes later... Patrick shows up. Five minutes later... Patrick brings drinks. Ten minutes later... Patrick brings food. At some point I leaned over to Ross and whispered, "Where is the original guy?? Did Patrick eat him??" Nope. SAME MAN. Sir is host, server, possibly chef, and I'm 90% sure he rotated the earth slightly to speed up our service. Patrick sold me on the Prime Rib sandwich like a seasoned car salesman and I folded immediately. Ross got the loaded smokehouse sandwich because he likes to pretend he makes responsible decisions. The food came out fast and looking disrespectfully good. I blacked out somewhere between bite one and "I should stop." I did not stop. I have no regrets. My diet has filed a missing persons report. And let's circle back to Patrick--this man has the energy of three employees, a double espresso, and unresolved childhood dreams. I want whatever he's having. I would follow him into battle... or at least back for dessert. As The Terminator once said, "I'll be back." Mostly because I found out Patrick works Wednesday-Saturday... and apparently those are now my "nutritional delusion" days. Would 100% trust my GPS to ruin my plans again.
