BBQ in Pensacola is plentiful - and we're here to show you all the can't miss BBQ Joints in our slice of paradise.
Hot Spot is personally one of my favorites because it’s so different. The sauce alone is a wonder in itself; it’s like sweet molasses and vinegar had a baby. Now I’m not a huge fan of vinegar in general, but it seems to balance and thin out the typical sweet, thick southern sauce that we all know and love to create a new treat. Hot Spot is also one of the only places in town that you can order burnt ends. Burnt ends are a traditional part of KC BBQ and they are the crown jewels, the holy grail, you get the point, they are good. If I had a choice, I’d eat this every time. Before you leave, make sure you grab a piece of the lemon cream pie. Miss Cheri’s (the owner) 85-year-old father makes them and they are heaven on earth.
1216 North specializes in high quality BBQ. Their menu features lots of delicious dishes, including bowls, chicken, ribs, and sides. At 1216 North there's a fun atmosphere, great music, and you may even want to delight in a daiquiri with your BBQ.
Brother’s offers down-home southern cooking; most people claim they stop because they smell the smokers as they’re driving down the road. When paying a visit, I’d recommend getting a pulled pork plate (you can’t go wrong there) with a side of the grits and greens casserole and the baked beans. Grits and greens aren't like anything you’ve ever had before, home style grits with cooked onions and collards and all sorts of cheeses, YUM!

Pensacola’s Guide to Fried
Seems like our cuisine is increasingly getting drizzled, pan-seared and prepared in increasingly exotic ways by wonderfully talented chefs. That’s all fine and good, but we are, after all, in the heart of the South. And around these parts, we love our food fried.

Pensacola’s Got Three Diners Serving Up with Nostalgia and Great Eats
Maybe it’s the smokey, rich waft of coffee vapors that greets you when you walk in the door. Or, maybe it’s the clink-clank of porcelain and silverware in motion. Maybe it’s because you know, pretty much without fail, that the butter is always melting on the grits just like you like them.
