Ribs, pulled pork, and brisket were absolutely outstanding!!! But Brunswick stew tasted like Campbell's vegetable soup and Mac and cheese was watery and bland so that knocked off a star... So they could definitely go back to the drawing board on those. But the BBQ is top-notch.

Very good staff, knowledge of there food was great, I ordered baby backs ribs, good taste smoking was good, wet sauses were good, sweet spicy, and there own sause all good. My order wasn't off the bone as they say.many people love it that way, i'm not that critical of that.. it's the taste for me....parking real tight, call for take out or order there, it's about 15-20 minute wait, have a beer.....4 stars for me so far, still want to try the rest of the menu, Again the staff excellent

Quite ppssibly the best bbq sandiwch Ive ever had. Small place in the middle of 41 that you will miss if you arent looking for it. I popped in, place smells good and smokey when you walk in. Very polite and attentive waitresses and then the food comes out. Very large portions, I got more than my moneys worth. My choice was the honey glazed pork sandwich. It was simply amazing. Whoever is cooking there is a bbq God.

Great service. Tasty BBQ at a reasonable price. It is simple place - if you are looking for fancy you might look elsewhere. If you like good BBQ then give this place a try.

I can see why folks could go either way. I enjoyed my visit! The service was laid back but professional. The restaurant has a real nice down-home vibe. That bein' said, I didn't know they'd been in operation for over two decades. I would have expected the Black-eyed peas to be on-point...they weren't. I was expecting a lil' more flavor to the green beens, not quite there. My smoked chicken sandwich was very tasty, though. I'd go again to give the ribs a shot.

Atmosphere is down to earth and very welcoming!Come hungry leave stuffed, but save enough room for their fanstatic deserts! Prices are on point as well. You will not leave disappointed!🐷you will leave with a doggie bag BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN EAT IT ALL. EVEN IF YOU TRY!

We loved it! Super friendly service, massive portions, delicious food. Brisket and pork sandwiches were moist, and the fries came out hot and crispy. Our son liked checking out the various animals on the walls. And as an added bonus, clean bathrooms! Love!

Pulled pork may seem a little minced but the flavor is truly authentic; Dee-lish. Next, ribs may not come smothered but i like sauce on my ribs, not ribs on my sauce. And of course the highlight of the day, Amber's southern hospitality - was 5 Star 5 Diamond. The Oaks is the spot in Sarasota! - C
