The BBQ Gods trained the hands making these fine meats! Not gonna lie I was quite skeptical seeing "jerk" boasted on the sign and not a Jamaican in sight but the execution is flawless and the flavor ring/bark alone should be studied as a guideline for how to prepare jerk pork perfectly. The brisket is so tender with the perfect fatty to meaty ratio. Love me some brisket but the pork won this showdown. Slaw is light and refreshing with a nice soft crunch against the rich savory meats. Fries are standard but a nice pairing and not too filling. Def get 2 sauces, it's a lil' loose but super yummy. Don't think I've ever had bbq that went down so light and easy, a true testament to the high quality of the ingredients. The inside is a renovation in progress but looks like it will be really nice to dine in soon. It is obviously family owned and the service/hospitality is as lovely as the meal. I will certainly be back when the meat cravings kick in! Got the 2 meat combo with slaw and fries and it was $23+change. A shareable plate or 2 meals easily.

I recently had Bare Bones BBQ cater food for a baby shower. The process start to finish was so effortless. Tommy helped me with all my questions and concerns with placing an order for more than 60 people. Anytime I reached out to Tommy he communicated with me right away. Every recommendation he made was spot on. When he delivered the food, he brought extra pans and serving utensils. I bought the warming racks and the fuel cans, and Tommy set the entire buffet for the party. I was so busy setting up the party, and having Tommy set up the entire buffet was such a tremendous help. The food was delicious, and all my guest were raving throughout the party how much they loved the food. We had leftovers and several people were able to take food home. The food was just as delicious the following day. Tommy is so professional and takes so much care to provide the best service possible. I highly recommend Bare Bones BBQ!

I was in the plaza and spotted this bbq spot and decided to try it and I'm so happy I made my way in here! It is one of the best places for bbq I have tried in the area and I will be coming back. I had the full rack of ribs and the ribs were very lean and not too fatty which I love and the sauce did not taste like a bomb of sugar. The sides I tried were Mac and cheese, rice and beans, grilled veggies and corn. Their Mac and cheese is yummy and doesn't taste like craft, rice and beans were good and so were the veggies and my fav was the onion. Their corn is so good and sweet and the staff was very nice and smiling which made me feel very welcomed. The establishment looked very clean and it is small but it has a big kitchen so I took it to go. Can't wait to try more things here !

This has been my go to take out spot for years!!! I don't think BBQ gets better than this. My go to is their dark meat smoked chicken, cole slaw, Mac and cheese and grilled veggies. Hubby loves the beef rib it's huge, tender and juicy.

Great food. Try it. Good flavor. Delivered hot! Great food. Try it. Good flavor. Delivered hot! Great food. Try it. Good flavor. Delivered hot!

This place is delicious. They have the best barbecue sauce ever. I am very picky when it comes to sauce, but their sauce is not too sweet and not too tangy. It is just right. Also, if I ask for extra, they do not give me an attitude rather they are happy that I actually love the barbecue sauce. My favorite is the pulled pork. It is so tender and flavorful. You will not be disappointed. They have all the meats mastered, but The only thing that I don't really like is their Mac and cheese It is not your traditional soul food mac & cheese it's kind of bland. It almost taste like the one that you buy that's already pre made from Hormel. The main star is the meat for sure. This restaurant is kind of small so I would not recommend eating here it's mostly a to go place. The service is quick and efficient. I definitely take everyone I know here if they want good tasting fresh barbecue.

Best brisket, spareribs and pulled pork ever! My hidden gem, never disappoints. I can add that the jerk chicken is my nephew's fav and the cornbread is to die for.

I lived in Texas for a few years, and never found any BBQ that came close to it here in South Florida . Until I came across Bare Bones BBQ. They have been open for 10 years and it show , best BBQ hand down . I enjoyed the Brisket , so juicy !! The Apple cornbread was delicious. This is more of a takeout place as there is only two tables . I would have given this place 5 stars but the fries weren't cooked all the way . They seemed a bit disorganized as they where getting orders mixed up . Overall , will still be coming back for the food .
