Winter Haven Barbecue Restaurant, Brock's Smoke Hut.

Stopped by for a chat with Dennis Brock today, owner of Brock's Smoke Hut. Great guy - and genuine smoke hound. He's a competition judge here in FL, and his restaurant is one of two Florida Barbecue joints recognized by the National Barbecue News.

Dennis buys quality pork spare ribs and Boston Butts from IBP, and smokes them to perfection using no seasoning or rub at all. Nope - just the pork, steady 225 heat from his Southern Pride Smoker, and Live Oak wood. He likes the rougher bark live oak because he says it smokes better, has a subtle smoke taste, and is readily available here in Central Florida.

95% of Brock's business is carry out. There's a great covered seating area in back if you want to hang out and eat your grub.

$15.00 Slab of Pork Spare Ribs
$7.99 BBQ Dinners - Ribs, Pulled Pork, Turkey, Sausage, etc.


No Rub, Sauce, or Seasoning Here... just plain Live Oak Smoke! Mmm... this is some of the best BBQ you'll eat anywhere. And it's right here in Winter Haven, FL!


So, If you're in the Central Florida area - maybe traveling down Highway 27 - stop by Brock's Smoke Hut.

You're mouth will thank you!

Dude, ya gotta. Seriously, this place is awesome. And, Dennis is a real down to Earth guy. He'll show you the guts of his operation - which ain't much - but what they are ... well, you have to taste to understand! No beer sold there, but he's cool with BYOB! In fact, will probably ask you for one!

Also - Dennis is an Official BBQ Competition judge - so he knows all the local serious BBQ folks here in Central FL.
 
Hey 'Is it Ready Yet?'... they do good work there, don't they? One of our favorite Florida BBQ joints. :)
