Sweet & Sassy Hickory Smokehouse

4.8(26)

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.
