Pulled pork sandwich at Kissimmee restaurant.

This week’s restaurant feature will cover Bar-b-q restaurants in Kissimmee. Most of us love our BBQ! Kissimmee restaurants offer many options within this cuisine category.

You will find your chain restaurants in Kissimmee that offer bar-b-q, including Smokey Bones BBQ on Vineland Rd. Late at night, this restaurant may be too loud for your liking, and at times you’ll have a short wait, however, their prices are very reasonable. Their BBQ is a great blend of smoke and Carolina sauce which appeals to most tastes. If you are staying at a nearby hotel and have had a long day at the theme parks, order pick up to go from Smokey Bones and take it back with you. Quick and easy.

Another chain BBQ restaurant in Kissimmee is Fat Boys’ Bar-b-q on Vine Street. This restaurant chain may not be as well-known, but it certainly is a hit with visitors from out of the area. Looks can be deceiving, and the look of the building that holds this particular restaurant in Kissimmee isn’t as spectacular as some, however, their food is excellent! If you like dry rub ribs, baked beans and sweet tea, you’ll not want to miss this restaurant. Once you get past the front door, the deception ends. This is a great BBQ joint!

As far as other chain BBQ restaurants in Kissimmee, you’ll find a Sonny’s Real Pit BBQ, the LongHorn Steakhouse, Black Angus Restaurant, Tony Roma’s, Chili’s, and other chain restaurants that feature bar-b-q items on their menu. BBQ restaurants in Kissimmee that are NOT chains may be a great choice if you’d like to experience something new.

Try Wild Side BBQ Bar & Grille for something new. Their menu is so packed with options, even the locals return again and again to try new dishes. The atmosphere and entertainment is great with service to match. Be sure to pick up a copy of the most recent Restaurant Guide for a coupon. Another non-chain that offers BBQ on their menu is Chef John’s Place on Pleasant Hill Road (formerly Chef John’s Dockside Restaurant). This is quite a drive for tourists, but the quality of food is spectacular. The ribs, chicken and pulled pork are only a small portion of this restaurant’s cuisine. They are just as well-known for their seafood.

Regardless of where you decide to pull your pork or rub your ribs, eating bar-b-q at a Kissimmee restaurant will satisfy your craving. The south just wouldn’t be as great without BBQ, and we are in the south, ya’ll. Enjoy!
