What recent reviews say

Every Saturday at Winter Park Farmers Market, this small smokehouse draws loyal crowds for pulled pork sandwiches stacked with coleslaw and sauce, burnt ends with pronounced smoke, and brisket that stays tender. Staff (led by Lori and Elizabeth) remember customers, crack jokes, and prepare everything fresh; lines move steadily but can stretch during peak times. Portions are full and sauce hits hard, so arrive early or expect a short wait.

Staff greet regulars by name and go out of their way to make guests feel welcomed; the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs earn consistent praise for moisture and flavor. Catering arrives early, portions are generous, and the newer dining space is clean and modern. One reviewer's incomplete order was corrected on the spot, though busy times can cause slip-ups.
